Secretary Wilson in his cspeech
said there could be no permanent in

Industrial justice. and he also told the
delegates that the most effective
agency to promote the welfare Of
those who toll was the trade unions
OF the country. He reiterated his
declaration made at the Seattle con-
vention of the Federation that every
title to property is a protected
title.
The department II labor has been
accused OF partisanship." Mr.. Wilson
said, "on the theory that in acting as
mediator In labor disputes IL is per-
forming a judicial function That is
not true. II performs diplomatic
functions. There Is no more reason
why the department Of labor should
be barred from handling labor dis
putes IN a diplomatic manner than
there IL for barring the state depart
ment from handling international dis
putes.
What We want In handling labor
disputes is men who are experienced
and level-headed and who understand
the technicalities involved. In carry.
