HOW DEMOCRATS
HELPED LABOR

Chairman w. B. Wilson. of the
committee on labor Of the d,mo-
craft: house of representatives.
pointed out in recent speech in
the house that the labor interests
of the country had received more
consideration from the democratic
house than had come to them in
many year.
He laid stress on the fact that
the democrats had restored to
government employees the right
f petition "a constitutional privi-
lege that had been taken away
from them by executive orders
under both Roosevelt und Taft,
and on the further fact that the
democratic party had lived uo to
It's platform promise in the treat
ment OF labor. Mr.. Wilson cited
fifteen specific measures beneficial
to labor that had been passed by
the house at this session at the
request Of the workers of the
nation.
Prominent among the lists is the
eight-hour bill, extending the
operation of this law to work done
for the government as we'll as work
done by the government; the anti
injunction bill, to protect working
men during wage disputes; the
contempt bill, to provide for trial
by jury In cases Of indirect con-
tempt; the bill creating depart
ment Of labor: and the investiga-
ton Of Taylor ami other systems
of scientific shop management"
which impose undue hardships on
workingmen.

The chief point of interest TO Colonel
Roosevelts supporters today was whether
they would be able to carry with them
the strength Of the following which
Roosevelt heretofore had III the Repub-
licau party. Some said frankly the move
ment was inaugurnted on the assumption
that since Colonel Roosevelt had been the
choice OF the party in number or he-
publican states IL would be possible 10
bring these states In line for the new
party.
No plan has been decided upon by
which IL would be possible to effect
transfer OF workable organizations from
the Republican party to the new enter
prise.
Colonel Roosevelt said he expected some
Republican officeholders and workers
would choose TO remain with the ola
party. He believed. however, that he
would have the support of the suoetah-

with him In the preliminary cempaign ~
