In its bearing on present problems the plan appeals to common : no less than to hope. If‘ such a law had been operative for past three years we might by this time have had tribunals of | Publi¢ investigation enjoying the respect and confitlence of labor. We might have fewer lawless reachings after an ill-defined justice that workers are persuaded they can obtain only by coercion. What argument can labor itself put forward against a law that forbids workers to strike until after public inquizy into the matters in dispute? ‘The right to strike is not @enied. All that is demanded is full When labor looks.for justice can it ask for stronger backing than oa public opinion based on full knowledge of what is at stake? Labor cannot deny that it has no more powerful friend “than @nlightened public opinion. Labor cannot deny that public opiniop in the United States was never more to be counted on to back labor's just claims.
