WHY NOT BEGIN NOW TO BALANCE THE BUDGET IN OUR SOCIAL, FIN
 ANCIAL AND ECONOMIC LIFE?
By District Attorney William A. HOzheimer

 One of the first things in life if ever expect go places and get anywhere is to realize that labor has place in our social financial and economic struc ture; hence is entitled to sit in at the round table with business and capital to make possible q fair honest and fearless discussion toward bringing about a more equal distribution of the desired and necessary things of life.
 Therefore until business and capital are brought to the inevitable conclusion that labor is entitled to place around the table with them and labor is brought to realize that business and capital are necessary aduncts in order to Keep the wheels of progress and the betterment of mankind on an even keel; then, and not until then will we be able to remove Nom our midst this chaotic condition this continual strlfe and turmoil
 The radical and agitator Cthis day and age some times called Communist, Fascist or whatno0 has been sore in the side of labor these many, many years Has labor received any help from business in its sometimes seemingly losing battle? Absolutely nothing On the contrary by their unreasonable, selfish and ruthless methods they have put obstacles in the way. Don't think for one moment have over looked the fact that business and capital have not had the same of parasite with which to contend Worse if anything for when attempt is made to control them they throw into the fight all the power and prestige that money and influence can bring backed by high priced legal talent always at theil  ated position Not so with the laboring group They have no such powerful influence. Unfortunately for them they believe that the only effective remedy to pursue is to resort to force.
 Thus one can readily understand and appreciate that both groups have the same fostering sore con- tnually eating into and destroying their very fabric and undermining the foundations of their respective organzati ations and are very much in need of major operation if they expect to survive.
 In other words, have two groups of agitators, racketeers and gangsters, to contend with in this eountry-those within the business and financial world and those within the labor oAanizations The most dangerous vicious of these those within the business financial organizations for by their ruthless selfish and despicabe methods not only do they demoraze the workings of business and capital, but cause the honest and fair-m minded aborng man to lose faith in Government structure thereby making it harder for them to control the agitator and racketeers within their organizations.
 Give either of these groups too much power and in very period you will the whole structure of our social, financial and economic system crumble and collapse. Both of necessity must be controlled and curbed whether liked or not-controlled by the honest fearless and conscientious men and women with balance and common sense having only as theii guide and purpose the betterment of our civil and political organzatio tions the upbuilding of mankind forgetting at all times their selfish desires advancement Then and not until then. will we make progress in the right direction thus establish ing for all time and bring into reality those mmorta words of our martyred president Abraham Lincoln "A Government of the people by the people ano for the people .
 Therefore it is up to the safe and sane men ano women of both organizations to take up the rein' immediately and without fear or favor cut down ane out this cancerous growth if we expect to be happy and contented people
 To be sure it will take time-it can't be don, in day, month year. But it can be done, i these respective groups meet the situation squarey without fear or hope of reward, paying attention to the bowling and rawlings of the barking mob a their heels and throat
 I can now hear the mumblings of the heckle and the critic who, perchance, reads this article not of what he speaks-he has not put forth an, constructive arguments remedies" We'll perhaps Perhaps what have said in this article is not com plete remedy. However, honestly believe it is con structive and am satisfied to leave the details t those fair and honest and women in both groups who have more experty studied the structure of ou economic existence and government. There is on thing, however, to which I will plead guilty ant that is to not having fair degree of common hors sense, and honesty of purpose. I constrained t believe and therefore positively assert to be fact that fair honest and equable handling of the affair in this life of ours not influenced by threats or coer cion in any situation be it in the social financial political world and will correct most o the evil with which we faced with today.
 But let me remind you again-you must Q patient, fearless and face the truth as it is Don
