Labor Conditions.
No one who has observed the
march Of events in the last year
can fail to note the absolute need
of q definite program to bring
about an improvement in the con-
dition OF labor. There can be no
settled conditions leading to In
creased production and reduction
In the cost of living il labor and
capital are to be antagonistic in
stead Of being partners.
Sound thinking and an honest
desire to serve the interests of the
whole nation, as distinguished
from the interests Of q class, must
be applied to the solution of this
great and pressing problem. The
failure Of other nations to consider
this matter in q vigorous way has
produced bitterness and jealopsies
and antagonism, the food of radi-
calism.
The only way to keep men from
agitating against grievances is to
remove the grievances. An unwill-
ingness even to discuss these mat
tiers produces only dissatisfaction
and gives comfort to the extreme
elements in our country which en-
deavors to stir up disturbances in
order to provoke governments to
embark upon a course of retalia-
ton and repression. The seed of
revolution is repression. The
remedy for these things must not
be negative in character. 1t must
be constructive. 1t must compre-
bend the general interest. The real
antidote for the unrest which mani
tests itself is not suppression but
q deep consideration of the wrongs
that beset our national life and
the application Of a remedy.
Congress has already shown its
willingness to deal with these In
dustrial wrongs by establishing the
Eight hour day as the standard in
every field Of labor. It has sought
to ind q way to prevent child
labor. It has served the whole
country by leading the way in de-
veloping the means of preserving
and safe guarding lives and health
in dangerous industries. It must
now help in the difficult task Of
finding q method that will bring
about a genuine Generalization OF
industry. based upon the full rec
ignition Of the right of those who
work, In whatever rank, to partici.
pate In some organic way in every
decision which dtscreetly affects
their welfare. It is with this pur,
pose in mind that I called q con.
ference to meet In Washington CT
Dec. I, to consider these problems
in all their broad aspects, with thu
idea Of bringing about q better un.
tderstanding between these two in.

'velop our forest resources, espe-
cially through the practice Of bet
ter forestry methods on private
holdings and the extension Of the
publicly owned forests: better sup
port for country schols and the
more definite direction Of their

lated to rural problems; and fuller

Cense Of Unrest
would call your attention to the
widespread condition of political
restlessness in our body polite.
The causes Of this unrest, while
various and complicated, are sup
critical rather than deep seated.
Broadly, they arise from or arc
connected with the failure on the
part OF our government to arrive
speedily at q just and permanent
peace permitting return to normel
conditions. from the TRANSMISSION Of
radical theories from seething
European centers pending such de-
lay, from heartless prof,teering re-
sulting in the increase Of the cost
of living, and lastly, from the
Vaccinations Of passionate and
malevolent agitators. With the
return to normal conditions, this
unrest will rapidly disappear.
In the meantime, 1t does much
evil. 1t seems to me that in deal
ing with this situation congress
should not be impatient or drastic
but should seek rather to remove
the causes 1t should tsudeavcr
to bring our country back speed
lily to a peace basis, with amel-
iorated living conditions under the
minimum of restrictions upon per-
sOnal liberty that Is consistent
with our reconstruction problems.
And 1t should arm the federal gov
eminent with power to deal in its
criminal courts with those persons
who by violent methods would
abrogate our time tested institu-
tons.
With the free expression Of opin-
ion and with the advocacy Of or
derby political change, however
fundamental, there must be no in
reference, but towards passion
and malevolence tending to incite
crime and instruction under
guise of political evolution there
should be no leniency. Legislation
to this end has been recommended
by the attorney general and should
be enacted. In this direct connec-
ton, would call your attention to
my recommendations en- Aug. g.
pointing out legislative measures
which would be effective In con-
trolling and bringing down the
present cost of living, which con-
tributes so largely to this unrest
On only one of these recommends
tons has the congress- acted. Il
the governments campaign is to be
effective it Is necessary that the
other steps suggested should b.
acted on II once. 4sst.e-s

necessity OF the extension 81 thu
