attorney who addressed a large and
attentive audience at the Chautauqua
last Friday evening, is an entertain
ing and forceful speaker, Of whom it
every employer and employe in Amer
lea there would be no capital-labor
difficulties. In his lecture, "a Chal-
lenge to Democracy" Mr.. Mccullough
said: "Real progress is made in con-
cord-not in discord. The world is
much concerned with strikes and lock-
outs, and something is fundamentally
wrong or such occurrences would not
happen.
"There have been two forms of
government that have clashed ever
since the battle of Marathon up to
the time of the Civil war. Since then,
times have changed. Corporations
have been formed to meet this change
and as money is needed to finance
this great business, stocks are sold
and only two questions are asked by
the prospective buyers. "Is it safe ?"
and "Will it pay?"
"The workers names. have changed
to numbers, which they punch when
they go to work. The owner rarely
goes to the factory and much dissen-
ton is caused by this fact. Therefore
labor unions were formed to help the
workers get what they want. If it
were not for these unions it would be
practically impossible for a man to
get safety devices and other appli-
ances put in the factory. But those
who would resort to violence to gain
what they desire when they are guar
anteed equal freedom and justice in
the constitution of the United States
have no right to remain on American
soil
"The remedy is for a factory to
have employee representation and CO.
operation. Many of the large fac
tories in the United States and even
in our own state has adopted this
plan. A country is rich when the
people are living in state of justice,
peace and in fear of the Living God"
