Nothing which My, Beck said made against the legal rights of union- ism, but something which he said did favor the legal rights of workingmen who prefer to be inde- pendent of organizations. Mr. Bryan was there, and he added to his pre- pared speech an impromptu outbreak against things which Mr. Beck did not say, but which Mr. Bryan misunderstood.
