laid Mr. Bryan. Let me call your
attention to the marked difference be-
twsen the Republican platform and
ourA The Republican platform Is
dtRsreut especially In not outlining
nsceaary Iegislation. Our platform
tells the public what We think Of what
ought TO be done. We take the peo-
tbls into our confidence and thus we
ahow not only our faith In the merits
Of our policies but also In the inteili-
esncs OF our voters.
''Now there are four propositions a.
20 labor for which We stand. First.
We believe that there should be q de-
psrtment Of labor with Q cabinet ON
ser - its head.
'sseond. we believe that labor
should BE- taken out Of the operation
Of the trust law.
Third. We believe that an indus
trial dispute should not be suficient
cause for the issuance of an lnjunc-
ton.
Fourth. We believe tn trials by jury
In case OF indirect contempt"
A man who claimed TO be q union
iron worker here attracted the atten-
tion Of Mr.. Bryan and asked him II
u were true that he had used the
expression that woekmeu were q lot
Of beggars when he was In congress:
II speak a. Q representative Of or
ganised labor" the man adedd.
NO you DO not" shouted Mr..
Bryan. MY record is well enough
known. 90 that no representative of
organized labor would have to ask me
such a question"
did or did you not use that ex-
pression?" insisted the man.
Bryan answered: "I shall not un-
dertske now or at any other time to
answer any and every statement tina,
may be made by those who are trying
to help the Republican party until
they get an endorsement from the
Republican party or ~ representa-
tives."
Mr. Bryan then left the cart and
went into Carnegie ham.
