pose full legal responsibility upon
the employer for his treatment of
his employees, and for their pro-
lection against accidents; to secure
just and adequate wages, and to
put reasonable limits upon the
working day ana upon all the ex-
actions of those who employ labor,
ought to have the hearty support
Of all fair-minded and public-spir-
tied men, for theirs is a sense in
which the condition of labor is the
condition of the nation itself.
Il have criticized some of the
things organized labor has occa-
sionally done, but I have criticized
them as a friend and because I
thought them harmful to the labor
ers themselves and harmful to the
country. / know of no other stand
ard by which to judge these things
than the interests of the whole
community. The laboring man can
not benefit himself by injdring the
industries of the country. Many
thoughtful laborfng men are them
selves critics, and very outspoken
critics, of many things which the
unions do, and l stand with them
and with all other right-minded
Americans in saying what l honest
ly think. If l am mistaken it can
easily be shown that / am, and
/ shall always be. glad to have 1t
shown"
Il DO NOT CLAIM AUTHORITY to
SPEAK FOR LABOR, out l have as
much right to do so as has Mr.. Hilters.
T-l-.l I loxro a kAffar right for my
motives are unselfish, n l seek Ia
boris advancement, not it's detrlment.
Il voice the belief Of many IN the
ranks OF labor that Woodrow Wilson
may be safely relied upon at all times
under all circumstances to see that
labor receives a square deal.
MIR. .Hilfers believes otherwise. Upon
what candidate for g~ubernatorial hon
ors does he pin his approval? Is there
q man seeking the nomination today
who possesses qualifications equal to
those of Woodrow Wilson? Is there a
candidate in any parry who has been
go outspoken in his views, SO friendly
in his utterances oil labor? Mr.. Hilters
name one, unless biased by a
view. or actuated by selfish
motives. In either alternative MI. Hill
fers's attitude is not free from criti-
His reference to me may be disposed
of in a Few words. l have worked as
long in labor's ranks as he has. but
not with so much profit. My efforts
now are to see that labor Is not be-
trayed by Its friends and that Wood
Wilson receives what every man is
entitled to-a square deal l am not
actuated by malice or Influenced by
money. I am on no mans payroll.
