production operations.
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS:
There are two different concer-
tons OF the relations OF capital and
labor. The one is contracted and
emphasizes the diversity of interest
Of employer and employe. The
other is that of co-partnership in a
common task.
We recognize the justice Of col.
lcctive bargaining as a means OF pro-
noting good Will, establishing closer
and more harmonious relations he
tween employer and employees and
realizing the true end of Industrial
peace.
The strike or lockout as a means
Of settling industrial disputes in
flicts such loss and suffering on
tho community as to Justify govern
meut initiative to reduce It's fre-
quoncy and limit its consequences.
We deny the right to strike against
the government; but the rights and
interests OF all government en-
pluyes must be safeguardcd by i'm
partial laws and tribunity.
Favor Railroad Law.
In public utilities we favor tho es-
Enlistment Of an impartial tribunal
10 make an investigation OF the facts
and to render decision to the end
that there may be no organized in
terruption of service TO the lives
and health and welfare of the peo-
pie. The decisions OF the tribunals
10 be morally but not legally bind
Ing and an informal public senti-
ment be relied on to secure their
acceptance. The tribunal, however.
should refuse to accept jurisdiction
except for the purpose of investi-
cation as long as the public service
be Interrupted.
For public utilities we favor the
type Of tribunal provided fer in the
transportation act of 1920.
In private Industries we do not
advocate the principle Of compulsory
arbitration, but we favor impartial
commission and better facilities for
voluntary mediation. Cancellation and
arbitration, supplemented by that
full publicity which will enlist the
Influence of an aroused public opin-
ION The government should take
the Initiative in inviting the estab-
lishment of tribunals or commissions |
for tho purpose of voluntary arbitra- |
ton and investigation of this issue.
We demand the exclusion from in
terstate commerce OF the products OF |
convict labor.
Guarantee Demanded.
We should not recognize any Mex
acan government unless It be re-
sponsible government, willing and |
able to give sufficient guarantee that
the lives and property OF American
citizens are respected and protected;
that wrongs will be promptly cor
tected and Just compensation will be
made for injuries sustained. The
republican party pledges itself to
consistent, firm and effective policy
towards Mexico that shall enforce
respect for the American flag and
that shall protect the rights OF
American citizens lawfully in Mex
leo TO security OF life and enjoyment
OF property in connection with an
established international law and
our treaty rights. The republican
party is q sincere friend OF the
Mexican people. In It's insistence
upon maintenance of order for the
protection OF American citizens with
In its borders great service will
be rendered the Mexican people
themselves for a continuation OF
present conditions means disaster to
their interest and patriotic aspira-
tions.
NATIONAL ECONOMY:
A republican congress reduced
the estimate submitted by the ad-
ministration for the fiscal year 1920
almost $4,000, 100000 and for the
fiscal year 1921 over n billion and n
quarter dollars. Greater economies
could have been effected had IT not
been for the stubborn refusal of the
administration to cooperate with
congress in an economy program.
The universal demand for n legisla-
tive budget Is a recognition of the
incontrovertible fact that leadership
and sincere assistance on the part
OF the legislative departments are
essential to effective economy and
constructive retrenchment.
The Overman act invested the
president OF the United States with
the authority and power necessary
to restore the federal government to
a normal peace basis and to reor-
ganize, retrench and demobilize.
The dominant fact is that Is months
after the armistice, the United States
government Is still on a wartime
basis and the expenditure program
OF the executive reflects wartime eN-
travagance rather than rigid peace
time economy.
Fail to Rctrcnch.
AS an example of the failure TO
retrench which has characterized
the postwar policy OF the admins
tration, we cite the fact that not in
Guiding the war and navy depart
