enacted restraining or sbridging the
development Of our natural resources and
We guarantee 10 The people freedom OF pur-
suit and the inslienable right TO enjoy the

truisms Of human existence and modern
progress and enterprise, that capital and
| labor should 20 hand in baud in the
general Advancement. happiness snd good
| OF this great commonwealth. Therefore
We claim that capital aud labor should
stand on an equal footing before the law
and that the laborer should always receive
. fair compensation for . fair days work.
That both capital and labor have The legal
and unquestionsble right 10 organize Tor

created By Law and made elective BY the
people 10 whom sll questions In dispute

ferred and that both parties concerned be

ion Of such Board OF Labor Commission
