The last congress was in session
during a financial crisis when innum-
cradle banking institutions, preferring
a holiday to a funeral, closed their
doors and filed the minds of millions
of depositors with anxiety and fear.
The sentiment in favor of postal saw
ings banks which had been steadily
becoming stronger in this country,
became almost universal during the
recent panic. So insistent became the
voice of the people that the Presi-
dent sent special message to con
gress urging the establishment of pos
tai savings banks where the earnings
of our people might be safely depos
iited under the direction, control and
responsibility of the federal govern
ment, and where no peculating bank
cashier or managing board of direct
OrS could eat up the savings of years.
The q. s. Senate showed its hearty
sympathy with this poular demand
and it's profound respect for the Pres
ident by adjourning the senate while
the message was being read; while
over in the hoAse of representatives
they refused to suspend the roll call
long enough to receive the communf-
cation that had been sent there from
the White House.
The Chicago platform points with
pride to the passage of child labor
law for the District of Columbia. Let
the Republican party go further than
the enactment of penal laws, and in
the name of humanity use its vast
energies for the removal of the con-
ditions that are forcing our children
into the labor market.
1t is the reign of monopoly that is
emptyfng our school houses and fill
| ing the sweat shops with child labor
and the same system of monopoly is
/ fast limiting the opportunities for
| Independent livelihood among those
| who are forced into the Industrial
| field and thus it is doubIy blfghting
that hope of youth which in former
stages of our national growth opened
an avenue of honor and independence
to every child reared upon our soil.
| The most palpable instance of the
insincerity of the Chicago convention
is found in its declaration respecting
the issuance of injunctfons.
| 1t would have been entitled to more
respect if it had omitted all mention
of the subject. AT session after ses-
sion of congress labor has pleaded
for relief from the abuses OF injunc-
tions, but its appeals have fallen on
cation that remedial legislation OF
Iany character would be enacted. The
IoIigarchy in house and senate has de-
cided that nothing shall be done to
weaken any advantage that corpora.
Itions have gained In labor disputes.
The fact is that all our citizens
without respect to station or occupa
ton in life have genuine respect for
the courts and desire to maintain
their integrity.
| The charge that the courts are be
ling assailed is simply made for the
purpose of diverting attention from
the real issue. Heretofore it has moi
