Governor Carlson on Friday gave
out the following statement on the
Industrial Relation and Compensa-
ton bills. which were scheduled to
reach his desk this morning:
"The Industrial and Compensation
laws just passed by our legislature
deal more directly and decisively with
the fundamental problems. of labor
and industry than the sum OF all such
laws formerly enacted in this state.
frus, our legislature has taken some
time. but the problem has been a big
and perplexing one. legislature af-
ter legislature in other states. where
feeling was not nearly SO tense and
the difficulties TO be overcome much
simpler. has spent from six months
to two years in investigation and dis
cussion before securing the passage
of kindred laws.
Labor and capitol have tried out
conflict. It has brought US only waste
hate. suffering and loss. These laws
mark the end Of this. They usher In
a new ray for industry and labor in
Colorado.
Every worker is true asset OF
this state Every dollar invested here
is obviously an asset too The days
OF injury is the time OF the greatest
weakness OF the worker The worker
must be eliminated should accident
befail him. Every humane employer
must also be glad to know that the
money he pays out for compensation
win actually reach the home and fam
lily OF his injured worker and be no
longer consumed by Intermediates.
-our friends throughout the whole
country will be gratified to learn that
we have met our Industrial problem in
constructive way. Our caustic cri-
tics everywhere will now md their
mouths stopped. This whole country
will quickly be convinced that every
right OF labor is henceforth TO be
ieaiousiy guarded In Colorado and the
passage Of this law win also assure
the people Of this nation that every
dollar invested in Colorado industry

cern itself with the welfare OF its
workers viii always be able to pro-
vide adequate protection for industry.
