Quickly sizing up his audience
Senator Harding saw that a major
ity were railway workers in the
Huntington yards. and he talked
directly TO them.
He praised the Cummins- Esch

and assured his hearers that the
time would prove it the greatest
beneficial piece of legislation for
the promotion OF the welfare of
railway employees that was ever put
on the statute books. During his
brief speech the Senator received a
big burst of applause
