Attack On James r. Davis by Few Whose Motives Are
Not Sincere
By N. GROSsHANDLER

Sometimes writer believes
supposed human intelligence forget themselves when
they go that being would charge
another human being with being rat Of the word
rat in itself obnoxious. 1t has been recognized such for
centuries 1t represents animal lis destructive and not
productive There this world parasites of all
descriptions Some of them necessary evil and some are
detriment to human society AS this world may
must be contented with those elements.
Mr.. James j. Davis secretary of labor has written a.
book "The Puddle written at time when he abored
in the steel mills 1t happened that in his he used
the word rats applying the term directly to anarchists and
boshevs who desruconists in human society. The
this word has been msconrued by few sefsyed poti
clans who trying to make capital of social hate t
further their political purposes But the writer believes
when he used the word rats the term not strong
enough referring to that element which he has valan
fought for years.
There is certain propaganda in America today that is
trying the motives of the Secretary Those
elements scattering that propaganda the writer believes the
elements which Mr. Davis has fought for and which he at
acks bitterly his book In order to establish alib for
their damnable work and divert the fair minds
of the American people they trying point out that
who does hail of Noric stock cassed in the ra family
by the secretary No intelligent human being will dare to
concede that Mr. Davis would make such misrepresentation
Of this nature but rather will they be fair with Mr. Davis and
study his geneaology and his records He halls from humble
family immigrant himself who oied in the mills since
boy twelve among his fellow workers. He has represented
practically national the globe and toled them
for years upright worker He established the Loyal
Order OF fraternity that
for existence the welfare of brotherhood of
His parents happens still live and their home is in
non-Nordic neighborhood.
One might readily ask how could draw line among
his fellow with whom he has spent his entire life and
he has always champoned and whom he has
sacrificed his time to improve their condition Just because he
happen Nordic makes the
while j. Davis Mr. Davis did not choose
his ancestry destined and dedicated this earth by
God and his coming his being of his nativity not his
selection does make difference in his relations with
his fellow
Any intelligent mind will readily realize that if Mr.. Davis
had happen be born where aristocracy
predomnated and had been born with golden in his
mouth that the sincerity of his motives and actions might be
questioned But the is adverse intelligent fair
minded American will concede that his humanitarian principles
toward his eowmen regardless of creed color
he questioned Certainly his feelings could not transplant
themselves into the category Of hate towards all except those OF
Nordic stock.
There question of the soundnes and practcaby of
mis- stand immigration the greatest problem with
which this America Of confronted The average ayman
realize what problems the Secretary confronted with
daily in his official capacity Only those who know the work
ings Of the Labor Department and Ellis Island appreciate
the trials and problems the secretary called upon endure
and solve daily
1t is Congress that makes the laws the Secretary must
enforce them the letter but the writer say thsha
Mr. Davis has come mighty he has not actually
stepped his authority when he granted admission into America
suffering human beings when he allowed human rights
overhadoW law which is practical in order
The side Of human elements
Conditions today different than they former
