The Democratic party is now, as
ever, the firm friend of honest lab
or and the promoter OF progress
sive industry. IT estaDilsNeo the
department OF labor at Wasnine-
ton and a Democratic presloent cal
led to his official counsei DoaIo'
the first practical workingmen VINO
ever held a cabinet portfolo.
labor is not commodity; It Is
human. Those who labor nave
rights and the natlonal security ano
sarety depend upon just IecosW-
ton OF those rights, ana the con-
servation of the strength OF the
workers and their families IN the
interest OF sound hearted and
| sound headed men, women and
children.
At the same time. the nation de-
ponds upon the products OF labor ;;
a cessation OF production means
loss and, il long continued, disas-
ter. The whole people have a tight
to insist that justice shall be done
to those who work, and in turn that
those who labor create the neces-
sites upon which the life OF the ma
ton depends must recognize the
reciprocal obligation between the
worker and the state.
Labor, as well as capital, is en-
| titled to adequate compensation
Each has the indefeasible right OF
organization, of collective bargain
ing and Of speaking through repre-
sentatives Of their own selection
Neither class, however, should al
any time nor in any circumstances
take action that VIII put IN leoparus
