The answer is that Government cannot rest upon special privilege for any group and that the public interest must be served irrespective of the pressures by groups which seek materialistic privilege.

More and more strikes will occur, for labor will figure that the President will uphold them in almost anything hereafter because he fears the labor vote. Extremism will be given an impetus. The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day; The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play; And so when Cooney died at first and Barrows did the same A sickly silence fell upon the patrons of the game. A strangling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest Clung to the hope which springs eternal in the human breast; They thought, if only Casey but could get a whack at that, They'd put up even money now, with Casey at the bat.

But Flynn was out on unpaid dues and Blake was out because The local had convicted hint of breaking union laws; So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat For it seemed it might take Truman to get Casey to the bat. But mediators gathered; and they handed down the word To put a man on second and assign a "sub" to third; The players raised a protest but in time they said, "Okay; Otherwise, we'll have the Army and the Navy, too, to play." Then from the gladdened multitude went up a joyous yell; It bounded from the mountain-top and rattled in the dell; It stuck upon the hillside, and recoiled upon the flat, For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat. There was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped into his place As he flashed his union with a smile upon his face; And when he then took out his watch, his overtime to scan 'Twas plain to see that Casey was a red-hot union man. Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt, And wiped them, by the rule book, upon his union shirt; As Local Thirty's hurler ground the ball into his hip Defiance gleamed in Casey's eye, a sneer curled Casey's lip. And now the leather-covered sphere came hurtling through the air As Casy raised a banner with the printed words "UNFAIR" Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped.

"Enslaver!" muttered Casey. "Strike one," the umpire said. From the benches black with people there went up a muffled roar Like the beating of the stormwaves on a stern and distant shore; "Kill him! Kill the umpire!" shouted someone in the stand But Casey bade them, "Silence. A fact-finding board's at hand!" "Conspiracy" thought Casey but a smile upon him shone; He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on; He signalled to the pitcher and once more the spheroid flew, But Casey still ignored it and the umpire said, "Strike two!" His teammates from the dugout rushed with angry cries of "Fraud" Now Schellenbach was frightened still and Truman, too, was awed; Fact-finders huddled quickly; Steelman leaped into the breach (And somewhere in the distance Pepper made another speech.) And now the pitcher holds the ball and now he lets it go And soon the President appears upon the radio And soon a frenzied Congress meets to scan the baseball pact And pass a law or possibly tone down the Wagner act. Oh, somewhere in this distraught land the sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light; And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout, But there is no joy in Mudville mighty Casey has walked out!
