President Wilson has the courage of his
convictions Since the beginning Of his in
cumbency he has professed friendship for
labor, and in his works he has proved it.
Rather than permit Congress to increase the
number Of working hours of the government
clerks to their disadvantage, he promptly
vetoed an appropriation bill which carried
the Objectionable rider. All that he ever has
asked of labor is fair deal, and so long as
he gets it the man who works Will have a
powerful friend al court.
