I would be the last man in the world to prevent a laboring man from. securing his rights. I know the wrongs- to which the laboring men have been subjected in the past. and perhaps in the present. in. this country. I know that great. corporations have been builded up by unjust exactions wrung from labor and from the. consuming. toiling masses:. and I know that they have secured high tariffs in order to boost prices here. and. have brought pauper labor from abroad for the purpose of forcing down the- price of labor in our land. Those things are intolerable. and they ought not to be permitted to exist.. and I hope they never will be permitted to exist again in. this. land. and yet there ought to be some plan devised by which the public shall not suffer because of controversies between the employer and the employee. particularly where the industry is one affecting the public. The controversy is not alone between the employer and the employee.
