AN IMPEEATIVE NECESSITY
're.su1 1 in the boosting of prices
and consequent hardship and in
justice to millions of our people.
Sti'l organized labor persisted in jj
the plan of looking out only tor
'number one, and finally went to j
th.e extraordinary length of de-j
rnanding, in the mining industry,
a six-hour dav, a five-da v week, i
'and a 60 7) or cent increase in;!!
wages, and then undertook to en
force its demands by shutting
off the nation's fuel supply, and
I tying up al1 industry.
I Surely the labor union leaders
i
were due for a sudden and vig
orous awakening and they got
that very thing when the Fen
eral Court at Indianapolis issued
: its restraining order and follow
ed that bv a command that tin
I strike order be withdrawn.
I Patience and reason have
been exhausted and the time has

Only a few months ago there
was a widespread feeling
throughout the country that, in
some way or other just how or
why it would have been difficult
to explain- oi ganized labor
siood tor and championed the
interests of the middle classes,
the so-called "'common peope."'
Recent events have, however,
bi ought about a complete disil
lusionment, for now evervbodv
knows that the American labor
unions, as at present constituted,
stand for their membeis and for
their members alone.
To many of our people the first
eiear view or tlie situation came!
Mhen organized labor's IMmnb! j
P'aii was announced, with its al
most unbelievably selfish rovis-
ions f(r the purchase of the rail-'
roads with the money of the
wn-nie American people and the I
assignment of these huge and
tremendously wholesale proper
ties to the members of organized
labor for their special use and
benefit. The mere suggestion of
such a p'an for the benefit of a
particular class al 1he expense
of our whole people was enough
to jar the nation into conscious
ness of the fact that somethino-

For spokes and axles tough second growth highland hickory is
used For hubs and felloes the sturdy white oak is preferred.
This wood grows upon the mountain side. The ground is hard
the climate severe. It has to fight for life. It has nearly twice
the strength of oak and hickory that grows under softer conditions.
Outdoors under shelter it remains for three to five years. Th
sap dries in it, giving it a strength that's kin to steeL
