In the enforcement of unpopular laws

I had nt last found one who was will

Including too often the police, and

were all tho time h.uiiig trouble with
the strikers and their pickets. lloose
velt saw that It was because neither
party uudei stood fully the pnMtlnn nt

ness sent word tn the labor niganlza
tlon that ho would like to talk It over
with them. It developed almost Imme
diately that tho labor men hml taken
n VMong measure of the man They
met him as a politician plamg for

their demands were mot. Mr. lloose
velt broke theni off short:

"lloosevelt struck no blow below
