sharks and. manipulators Of the money
market to bring on financial panics,
close factories. fill the railroad sid
ings with empty box vars and white
lead thousands. o: idle locomotives, as
more working people out of employ
ment than In any other period Of our
country's history. This law alone Is
sufficient to account for the unex-
amples prosperity OF the country at
this time.
Praises Income Tax Law.
1.-THE income tax law which equal
ICES the burdens OF tho cost Of gov
eminent between tho working people
and those who have amassed a. sur
plus; the rural credits law, which is
God send to the farmers OF the
country; the child labor law recently
enacted which makes it unlawful to
work children under IA years Of age
in mines, factories, etc., instead OF
keeping them In school where they
may equip themselves for the larger
affairs Of life, and completely nulli-
flying the sentiment of the old song en-
titled Everybody Works But Father"
This child labor law has been clam
ored for, prayed for and begged for
by labor interests for years without
success until Woodrow Wilson's ad-
ministration was reached.
"The federal compensation law for
the compensation of government en-
ployes injured while engaged in the
performance Of their duties, which in
my opinion is the best law of its kind
ever enacted, and should be, and no
doubt will be. appreciated at its full
worth by all federal employees.
Proves Worth to Labor.
"President Woodrow Wilson has
proved his worth to labor by the
things he has stood for in the interest
Of the laboring class. His keeping our
country out of war is one thing that
should cause laboring people to flock
to his support, even If qae has done
nothing more for them. It is the Ia
boring people who have to face the
guns Of the enemy in time of war.
"Another act where he has shown
his attitude toward labor, is his stand
for the eight-hour day for the rail-
road employees engaged in train and
engine service, and in fact he advo-
Gates eight-hour day for all classes of
employment. Can labor consistently
vote against Mr.. Wilson for Charels
Evans Hughes? I hardly think 50,
for it would be voting against a GER
tainty for an uncertainty.
Mr.. Hughes Silent.
Mr.. Hughes hasnot told labor where
he stands;* why, 11 he 1sS 80 friendly
toward labor, hasn't he said something
for labor in the eight-hour movement
Of railroad employees? Not one word
has: he, said and !: beueye there@is a
just reason why he has remained ST.
lent, for. his record iXh1IAs governor of
the state Of New York :'he: vetoed q
bill passed by the legislature of New
York giving" women the *sanne pay az
men,a tea cheers IN tlfe:schopls; = he We
toed q bilt: tor q two-cept passenger
fare on the railroads OF New York; he
vetoed a bill. cutting the fare from
New York to ttg- principal. plea sure re-
sorts, the one most attractive. to and
within reach OF the poor people, Coney
Island, and while Judge Of the United
States Supreme court, he concurred
in the decision of> that: COURT in which
they held the Hatters' union and it's
members of Danbury, Mass, liable for
100000 to D. A.. Lowe g. Co.. for boy
cotting. They took the. homes away
from those poor people. He wrote the
decision holding the Arizona antt-alien
labor law unconstitutional. In these
two cases Mr., Hughes has subscribed
that he is In favor of Injunction in
labor disputes without the trial by
jury, With this evidence against Mr..
Hughes, person can judge where he
stands and who he would be for If
elected president Of the United States.
Opinion Not Partisan.
IT am not expressing my opinion as
partisan but from records which
speak for themselves and as to the
conditions confront labor in Indiana.
Are you going to turn your back on
the party that has befriended you for
the men who when in power did moth
ing for you? ! hardly think SO.
