The United States has no use and‘no room for them. Perhaps you wonder about the rea- son for.all this unrest. Why w.th la- bor able to demanq and receive more than it ever received before, there should be so many 'strikes and so much unrest. There is byt one reason, one answer—the old 1aw of supply and demand is working twenty-four hours a day. When I was a member of the legis- lature of the state of Washington fif« teen years ago, many of the great corporations of the country were able to control a majority of its members. They used the that the law had given them. They brought the pendulum up and he'd it there, despite the action of the people; but by ang by the people slow : to start, began to use the force of pub- lic opinion, common sense and right, and they bore the pendulum down. ‘When it came down to where it should have stopped. it did not stop. The people were resentful and they drove it up to the other extreme until, dur- ing the past few years the hardest thing in ‘the world has been for a great corporation to secure justice before a jurv. before a legis- lative bodvy or before the people; OLE HANSON Ex-Mayor Ole Hanson of Seattle, who sprung intosnational ~prom.nence | when he broke the general strike: brought on at Secattle last February by | the-I.

To emphasize some of his | poirts, he gesticulated freely and to- wards the end of his two hour ad- dress took.a seat, while he continued talking. Onge his voice got husky and | he took a drink of water. remarking " that this was the first time his voice | had troubled him in all his 78] speeches. “Im not after votes or looking for ofice and T propo-e to tell the truth” he deciared, saying that he was speak- ing for the great rank and file who do a fair day’s work for a fair day’s | pay.
