by the processes ordinarily adareSs- ed to the laws and regulation af-1 fecting the other relations of hfe.1
 Labor, as well as capital, IS en- titled to adequate compensation. Each has the indefeasible right or organization, of collective bargain ing and of speaking through repre- sentatives of their own selection Neither class, however, should at any time nor in any circumstances take action that will endanger the health or lives of the people is an un- satisfactory device for determining disputes, and the democratic party pledges itself to contrive, if possible and put into effective operation | fair and comprehensive method of | composing differences of this nature. i In private industrial disputes, we are opposed to compulsory arbitra- ticn as method plausible in theory but failure in fact. With respect to government service we hold dis tinctly that the rights of the people are paramount to the right strike. However, we profess scrupulous re- gard for he conditions of public em- ployment and pledge the democratic party to institute inquiry into the pay of government employees and equally speedy regulations designed to bring salaries to just and props CT level
 WOman's Suffrage.
 We endorse the proposed nine teenth amendment of the constitution of the United States granting equal suffrage to women.
 Women Industry.6 ] We urge cooperation with the states for the pretention of child life thru infancy and maternity care; in the proposition of child labor and by adequate appropriations for the children's bureau and the woman's bureau in the department of labor i Instruction in citizenship for both native and foreign born: Increased appropriation for vocational training in home economies, re-establishment of joint federal and state employment i der the direction af technically quali- fled women. We advocate full repre- sentation on al committees dealing with women's work and classifica- ! tion of the federal civil service free from discrimination on the ground of sex, a continuance of. appropria- tions for education in sex hygiene, federal legislation which shall insure that American women resident in the United States but married to aliens shall retain their American citizen ship and that the same process of naturalization shall be required for women as for men.
 Disabled Soldiers
 l The federal government should treat with the utmost consideration every 1 disabled soldier, sailor and marine of the world war, whether his disa- bility is due to wounds received in line of action or to health impaired in service, and for the dependents of the brave men who died in line of duty the governments tenderest con- cern and richest bounty should be their requital.
 Tho Railroads.
 The presidents regulation of return to private ownership gave the repub- lcan majority a full year in which to enact the necessary legislation.
 As a consequence, the Esch- Cum mins bill went to the president in the closing hours of congress, and he was forced to choice between the chaos of a veto and acquiescence in the measure submitted however grave may have been his objections to it.
 There should be fair and complete { test of the law until careful and ma- ture action by congress may cure it's defects and insure thoroughly eff fective transportation system under private ownershop without govern ment subsidy at the expense of the taxpayers of the country.
 Improved Highways.
 We favor a continuance of the pre- sent federal aid plan under existing federal and state agencies, amended so as to include as one of the ele- ments in determining the ratio in which the several states shall be en- titled to share in the fund, the area of any public lands therein.
 We strongly favor the increased use of the motor vehicle in the trans portation of mails and urge the re- moval of the restrictions imposed by tha rnn,lh1icau coprracS op H., ,,.o of motor devices in mail transporta- tion in rural territories.
