Speaks Of Future
and Period Of Reconstruction

BIZ Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Oct 2s-"There can be
no such thing as Democracy IL all the
good things OF the world are pre-
empted by q few" declared George
NJ. Ia Monte. Democratic candidate
for United States senator, in a state
ment issued today on the reconstruc-
ton problems which the United States
senate must face at the conclusion of
the war. His statement in part was as
follows:
NO doubt the s%enatorship will.
during this coming term. offer the
most unusual opportunities in con-
structive work that the country has
ever known and the job must be ap-
preached seriously and sober-minded-
ly. 1t Is worthy of the best thought
and effort OF whoever may be elected.
The war must be won. OF course.
Peace must be attained upon the
terms laid down by President Wilson.
which have been approved by all of
our allies. Whenever peace is finally
signed and approved we will then en-
ter upon the reconstruction period.
which will afford an inspiring oppor-
tunity. We are not going back to the
status quo. There is no such thing.
This has become a peoples war waged
against autocracy and cruelty. and

of the rights OF peoples everywhere to
govern themselves. We have learned
what II is to sacrifice: we have learn
ed h IL is to cooperate.
Rich and poor alike and people
from every walk OF life have march
ed side bv side in this great struggle.
The heart OF the world has beer re-
vealed. Thousands of those who have
been ignored in the past and have had
no fair opportunity for self-develop-
ment have rendered as great a service
as those who have heretofore had a
greater opportunity n when these
men come back home they Will never
be satisfied to drop out OF sight again.
nor will we permit them to drop out
of sight. and the legislation OF the
future must provide some way to give
these people a chance and to give
them proper recognition.
The labor problems will press hard
upon us. Thousands of mon who are
engaged in purely wal work will have
to be shifted to other occupations.
Many plants will go into the scrap
heap: man will be converted for the
uses OF other industries. but we all
realize that there will be a tremen-

in industry. we want them to receive
wages enough to be selfsupporting and
independent for the moral interests In
volyed and for the future OF the race.
Reasons multiply why female labor
should be affiliated with the unions,
and through the unions receive equal
pay for equal work
If labor is to be encouraged, 1t must
be the result of the activities OF the
workers themselves. let that be dis
tinctly understood Now organized
labor is not holdup, It Is q business
proposition, with q lot OF fraternal
benefits in 1t. Organization is the
keynote Of today, 1t is the practical
intelligence of present-day activities.
Labor unorganized Is at tremendous
disadvantage, it Is antiquated and In
competent. It is as much out OF place
today as the OK cart or the wooden
pillow. II it were not for labor organi-
cations the workers would be no Bet
ter than slaves and would be abso-
lutely at the mercy of the dollar. Their
lot is none to desirable even with the
existing organizations.
Isn't this problem OF organization
worth considering carefully by the cit
liens of Richmond
No city can boast OF good living
conditions unless labor, and especially
female labor are given the utmost
help in lettering their present de
pIorable state of affairs in this city.
ROBERT E. GRAHAM.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-08-27

One of the fundamental principles
of organized labor is, and always has
been, that there should be equal pay
for equal work for both sexes. There
have been times in the past when this
declaration of principle was looked
upon as in the abstract or somewhat
remote.
Probably at no previous time in the
history of the organized labor move
ment has this principle come to the
front as at present
We learn that in the English fac
tories female labor is being employed
to an extent heretofore unknown, and
as female labor has entered these in
dustries working side by side with
men, doing the sames class of work.
| they are receiving the same pay, and
they are receiving this equal wages
| for equal work regardless of SEX"
simply and solely because it is, and
always has been vital principle of
organized labor which. in the present
instance, organized labor has been
able to enforce wherevertthe case has
come to issue.
| These same conditions are arising
| in Richmond. If We are TO send vast
numbers of troops into action, if We
are to manufacture great quantities of
munitions and supplies, there must
be vast factory output, and this, on
the one hand, together with the TAX
ing away of men from industry, is
| leading as in England, to the employ
ment of great numbers OF women in
Richmond. 1t has always been a con-
dition of industry in this city, and if
there was no organization of wage
earners in Richmond to enforce the
principle of equal pay for equal work,
female employees would draw even
simmer pay envelopes than they now
do. Employers who always claimed
to be solicitous for the welfare of
their employees and particularly for
the right of their employees to remain
