character so essential to an advance
ing democracy. Any enactment that
violates this sacred right should be
steadily opposed. We should favor a
gradual and reasonable reduction of
the hours of labor and plan to make
the leisure of our people a means of
healthfuL happy recreation and of
educative uplift. If in your wisdom
you can evolve a means of lessening
poverty you will add to the humanity
of the Commonwealth and enlarge the
whole field of industry and social JUS
tice. The laws promotive of social
Justice enacted by the Assembly in
1915 have been put into operation to
the good of our workers and to the
general acceptance of the thoughtful
men connected officially with our
great industries. Many of our largest
industrial and transportation agencies
have for years maintained some form
of relief in case of accident or death.
These have found the new laws q
help and have. cordially accepted the
action of the State in making general
and uniform the humane treatment of
workers. The Compensation Law for
workmen, the Child Labor Law, the
restriction of the hours of labor for
women, the increased safeguarding of
workers from accident, the establish
ment of free employment agencies, the
protection of our food supply, and the
continued activity In adjusting the
differences arising between employer
and employe by arbitration and medi-
alton have all been cordially COM
mended, These enactments should

or radical changes or additions should
be now made. Let labor by cooper

sible for our great industries to grow

ther relief to toilers. Let us be GER

Manufacturing employs fully forty
per cent. of our people. To main

Housing Code
We are properly concerned in con-
serving the health of our people. We
have organized and maintained great
and efficient Department of Health,
We have also erected and do maintain
many institutions to care for sick, suf-
fering and impaired people. But
why should we expend such large
sums to cure the suffering or to care
for the helpless when it Is in our
power to prevent much of all this ?
l have long entertained the wish to
see Pennsylvania take the lead in en-
acting q Housing Code that would
regulate in some degree the type of

must live and in which children are
born and women must work. Surely
