We declare our faith in the sea-

congress. and we promise our ear
nest continuance of Its enforcement
We favor the speedy enactment Of
an effective federal child labor law
and the regulation of the shipment
Of prison made goods in interstate

We favor the creation of federal

OF Labor. to gather facts concerning
Industrial hazards. and to recon-

beings,
We favor the extension Of the
powers and functions OF the federal

We favor the development upon q

throughout the nation to seek ana

We hold that the life, health and
strength of the men, women and
children Of the nation are its great
est asset. and that in the conserva-
ton OF these the federal govern
ment, wherever it acts as the en-
ployer Of labor, should both on its
own account and as an example, put
into effect the following principles
of just employment:
IA living wage for all employees.
"A working day not to exceed
eight hours, with one day of rest IN
seven.
3-The adoption OF safety ap-
planes and the establishment of
labor.
ADEQUATE compensation for in
dustrial accidents.
5-The standards of the uniform
child labor law" wherever minors
are employed.

ed the mothers of the race.
IAN equitable retirement law
providing for the retirement of su-
perannuated and disabled employees
of the civil service to the end that a
higher standard OF efficiency may be
maintained.
We believe also that the adoption
of similar principles should be urged
and applied In the legislation of the
states with regard to labor within
their borders. and that through
every possible agency the life and
health Of the people of the nation
should be conserved. +

MERCHANT MARINE.

Immediate provision should be
made for the development Of the
carrying trade of the United States.
Our foreign commerce. has in the
past been subject to many I'M
necessary and vexatious obstacles
in the way Of legislation Of re-
publican Congresses. Until the re-
cent democratic tariff legislation 1t
was hampered by unreasonable bur-
dens of taxation. Until the recent
banking legislation 1t had at it's dis
posal few Of the necessary instru-
mentalities Of international credit
and exchange. Until the formulation
of the pending act to promote the
construction Of q merchant marine
1t lacked even the prospect Of ade-
quate carriage by sea
We heartily indorse the purposes
and policy Of the pending shipping
bill and favor all such additional
measures Of constructive or RENEE
dial legislation As may be necessary
to restore our flag to the seas and to
provide further facilities for our
foreign commerce, particularly such
laws as may be made to remove un-
fair conditions Of competition in the
dealings Of American merchants and
producers with competitors In for

We recognise now, as we have al

We favor the Establishment and
