 rwa. In r.aav asssr wosaa War before seusssllna came lnae puwer and it was the strikes depression. broken contracts and broken. promises plus great sense of frusarasion which finally drove the Italian fn vour limited wales rom the United Mine Workers offices Co the Carlton Hotel you may not asn the fact that the American people are feeling the same sense of illustration today They are tired ot living in jerks They are tired of getting up steam for a long stretch of work and then being Jerked to a sudden stop by strikes.
 And while they sympathize with the fact that the cost Of living has gone ap for miners they also know that 1t has gone up for ls0Oo0O0o other people. most of whom do not have powerful unions which can paealyse the United States gnti their cOst-Of-svns demands are met
 Tney also recall that it was yoa--suppOEted by Bili Green and Senators Taft and WheTEy-who the end of wage stabilization. This was all right for y0a-your mighty union is in position to get what n wants But 1t Is not all right for millions Of others who unorganised.
 No John there are some laoeo0o0o other people living in this country, who like the young man just quoted believe that they also have contract contract to live and work and enjoy the fruits Of whereby has the right to topple the economy of their country like juggler stopping in the middle of his act.
 You John L. Lewis conspired to ship oil to Fascist Germany when she was menacing all that we stood for Now you refuse to mine coal for Italy when she & trying to live down her Fascism Once may be a mistake, but twice may be treason.
 The American people are patient people but I warn that their patience some day may reach the boiling point
 And when that time comes not only the hard. gains of labor but the cherished guarantees by which you have the right to stand up in court and defend yourself win be swept into one pile and go up in the same flame which Massoni lit when he took advantage of Italian illustration.
 If this time ever comes you. John Lewis will have done more to fan the flame than any other man in America.
