BORAHSAYS
LABOR MUST
HAVESHARE
IN INDUSTRY

American workers must be given
} share in the industries they help
create and maintain "a share not
measured in wages, Senator Borahp
Sext chairman Of the Senate Labor
Committee, declared today.
Borah was discussing lah5E legis-
,ation to be presented at the coming
Session Of Congress.
'The fundamental thing, the nrst
thing which must be done" said
2orah, "is the formulation Of def
lite Governmental labor policy. This
Se have never had.
~We have met exigencies as they
lave arisen by Juggling wages,
raising them here, lowering them
there, when it was possible. We
cave never gone at the problem in
gay really to solve it.
Cooperation the Keystone.
'Co-operation must be the keystone
Of any real working out on a sound
kconomic basis OF the relations OF
capital and workers. Cooperation
must be the thought behind a Gov
Ernment, labor policy.
Z Cooperation. OF course. is i'm
possible unless both OF those who
are to cooperate have an interest
in the business or industry. 1t must
be an interest on the part OF the
workers that goes beyond mere
wages. Workers must have an ac-
tual share in industry which will
2ive them the incentive to cooperate,
make them eager to do so, because
such cooperation means their own
welfare"
It is from this Starting point that
SOrah plans to move in framing re-
construction labor legislation.
Time To Solve whole Problem.
But though labor has IN the past
obtained many helpful laws. the pres
ent, Borah declared today. is the
time to solve the whole problem hon.
sstly and fairly.
AT the end OF the war, in the win
hing OF which labor played such a
part, the time is ripe to get to fuuda-
meutals, and stop meeting labor prob
tens BY expedients which at best arr

Sresent is the great opportunity to
SdVance the interests Of both capital

On a basis which viii last, and which

French had been wounded but this
could not be verified.

Suffering Belgium,

Then followed a long message to the
suffering people Of Belgium, a sum
mary Of which only can be given.
Cardinal MERCER said:
"God will save Belgium, my breth-
rem, you cannot doubt it.
"Nay, rather, He is saving her.
AT once we were conscious Of our
own patriotism. For down within US
all is something deeper than personal
interests, than personal lsinships, than
party feeling, and this is the need and
the will to devote ourselves to that
more general interest which Rome
termed the public thing, Res Publica.
And this profound will within us is
patriotism
II do not require of you to rcnounce
any Of your national desires. On the
contrary, hold it as part Of my epis-
copal office TO instruct you az to your
duty in face Of the power that has in
vaded our soil and now occupies the
greater part Of our country. The au-
thority OF that power Is no lawful
authority. Therefore. in soul or con-
science you owe It neither respect nor
attachment nor obedience.
"Ths sole lawful authority ia Bel
gfum is that Of our King, Of our Coy
eyn,nsnt, of tho elected representative
of the nation. This authority alone
has right to our affection, our sub
mission.
Thus, the invaders acts Of public
