...brute force. Harsh and repressive measures will merely drive more and more voters into the new party. The remedy lies in justice and fair dealing on both sides. At the present time capital holds the upper hand. It should be the business of capital to meet labor and adjust their differences equally. Though there never was a time when production meant so much to the world, capital and labor bicker and brawl. This cannot go on. The new party shows that the crisis is at hand.
