 Period May Reach Extreme

BOSTON. Nov. 23.-Vice President | elect Coolidge. speaking tonight be fore a group of Boston business men, | asserted that in the last election the country had expressed it's opinion against organized labor as it had a
 few years ago against organized cap ltal and warned against the danger that labor might be divorced from a part in the government just as or ganlZed capital had been divorced. The issue of tfse league of nations. Governor Ccolidbe said had not been decided by the people.
 I doubt" he said, If any particu-
 lar mandate was given at the last
 efction on the question of the league
 of nations and that was the prepon- derant issue. In the south. where there was decided opposition to ire league, they voTed the Democratic tic ket. And as far as the league was concerned in the north, the voting was equal or even greater prepon- derance in favor of the Republican tlcket, and of course, many men vot- ed whc were in favor of the league. With them it became simply aues- ton of supporting the Republican or democratic party. So you cant say that there was a preponderanoe of votes against the league of nations. '
 Says Wilson League Dead
 Governor Coolidge said that all ! thougr he did not know what is in i the mind of Senator Harding" ex- cept what he had gathered from his ] speeches in regard to the league. he | did know that the league of nations i brought back by President Wilson was dead" Whether the people | would decide to use the old league | as working basis in forming new ! world body was the question. the | governor asserted
 In his referende to organized labor Governor Coolidge recalled that in an address to Dartmouth College men last winter, he had pointed out the growth Of corporate wealth . which had brought with it the fear that it would undermine the founda- tions and dominate our government" " and that this fear resulted in the curtailment of corporate power and influence in our government"
 And then I also called attention" he continued, ''to what I thought was coming to a very similar situation in organized labor, which had played So important a part in influencing tae machinery of our government. I IL think the people of cur country needed that warning and carried out that determination regarding organ ized labor at the last election.
 Need All Resources
 But now We do not want to make the same mistake with organized !, labor that was made with organized capital-to divorce it entirely from the affairs of government We need at the present time all the organiZa- tions we have in America that will tend to upbuild and improve. to act togetNer Cor the common good of all. We don't want to disintegrate any of the forces of good We want all the sound advice and counsel we can get from whatever sCurCt
 There is grave danger of a reac- ton at the present time, of reac- ton that will not be of L}armanent |; benefit to the United States. You h know when the people of the United i, States get staraed along a given line they are apt to go to extremes or to |, go further than the facts and circum- stances warrant. It may be well for all of us to realize that thh govern ment of the United States was or ganlZed for justice to all and that , each should have an influence in it's control"
