And not in their case alone must the sympathetic aid of the federal government be given to the allocation of labor, the de velopment of it's skill and the esta blishment of proper labor conditions, but such services must be rendered all laborerS and a Systematic effort must be made to raise the whole level of the labor conditions and facili ate the access of labor to em ployment and the improvement of it's preparation and training. '. We must seek to avoid in | the future the conflicts between capital and labor which have been all too frequent in the past, and must seek to do so by meas ures of co ordination. The statesmanship of the country must be devoted to this funda- mental and all important task whose successful working out is
 
 moniouS democracy. Provision must be made for the settlement of all questions upon a single basis of fairness and justice. Ia the meantime we urge capital and labor alike to submit such | differences as may arise to joint conferen ces of their chosen rep
 resenta atives for peaceful solu | tiOn by agreement, or to tbe mediation of federal officers for adjustment with equal justice to both classes.
 8aThe whole industry of the country must be dealt with in the most liberal and enlightened manner. Arid and waste lands must be reclaimed and agricult- ure in general further Sustained and encouraged. New indust- ,ries must be. fostered and the barrlerS removed which have stood in the way of old ones, and the thought of the nation devot
 ed to every important processs
 by which the industrial prosper ity of the country may be SC
 cured, by methods which will absolutely exclude monopoly.
 The national administration
 has proved itself constructive in

 thrilling unison our fortune and
 our lives. Whether as the pro

 nestle affairs, or as the militant
 world leader iu humanity's war
 for Democratic ideals, Mir. Will
 son commands our confidence
 and support. He is entitled to
 the generous cooperation of men
 of progress and vision wherever
 found, and especially in the Con-
 gress of the United States. The
 nation has travelled far under
 his leadership and it cannot haz-
 ard the gains founded in equal and exact principles of economic j and social justice made for Am
 ericans and America institutions,
 through changes whereby we would be forced to turn to divid ed counsels at this important juncture: The future presents , the supreme test of American statesmanship. and we submit that the people can best trus r the wisdom of President Wilson 5 and those who stand with hin who have shared with him tht l unparalleled accomplishments O. r the last six years.
