=. also spoke.
! With local union officials at their head,
| Indianapolis organized labor began the
/ celebration of Labor day with parade
1000 strong through the principal down
town streets preceding the Tomlinson
| hall meeting.
The parade was directed by Grand
Marshal William Holmes, assisted by w.
w. McClain, c. G. McCallister, Wayne
Williams and C. J. Hoffman.
More than 100 organizations partici-
pated
The line of march was as follows:
Parade forms in Meridian street and
st. Clair, marching south in Meridian
street to Circle, right in Circle to Wash
ington street, west on Washington street
to Senate avenue, countermarching on
Washington street to Alabama street,
north on Alabama street to Market, and
west on Market street to Tomlinson hall
Ten bands enliyened the procession,
which required three quarters of an hour
! to pass Meridian and Washington streets
Street car. and automobile traffic was
routed out of the central downtown dis
trict during this period.
! Several groups of marchers added color
to the spectacle, wearing their work
/ clothes, outstanding among these being :

Suddenly it became the largest employer
Of labor and in a large sense dictated
the price to be paid in nearly all plants
making war material.
'GThe railroads and all other transpor-
tation came under government regulation,
and the pay of men long too low was
adjusted in the desire to give more ade-
quate compensation for the men upon
whose fidelity and ability depended war
efficiency.
1.-THE railroads have gone back to pri-
vate ownership, but wages have in large
measure kept pace with the changed
conditions, approaching nearer just COM
: pensation than ever before.
I'm the ship-building industry the navy
has always led in fair pay to good men,
and its standards have been followed by
private establishments. In a large sense
this has been true in other industries.
1.-THE government at Washington estab-
lished an eight-hour day, and the day is
not far distant when no industry will re-
Quire more than eight hours work in any
one day.
Experience has proved that capable
and industrious men, who are steadily
employed in work where machines are
used. will turn out as much product in
eight hours as in longer time.
1T is better for the factory and the
employe to secure quantity of production
in steady work of eight hours than to
have longer hours with less production
per hour.
NO LONGER
A COMMODITY.
THE browning achievement of labor Sc
cured in recent years may be summed
up in one sentence of eleven words:
Labor has been lifted out of the
classification of a commodity
THAT may sound commonplace, but
it has the thrill Of victory and achieve
ment to those who for many years
fought in vain to have labor treated as
something higher and worthier of better
consideration than a commodity to be
sold at auction as things are bargained
for or as slaves were put up for sale in
ancient days.
The law gives labor its place. and in
America, though fouted for time, law
finally rules supreme. Labor owes its
higher state to the recognition of the
makers and executors of law.
Its future depends upon it's devotion
to law and order, and it's wise participa-
ton in choosing the men and women

the duty Of government to men whose
industry does so much to develop the
resources of the republic and increase
the comforts of mankind.
1.-THE demand for a living wage seemed
q long step in advance when the pay en-
velope did not afford enough return to
give adequate sustenance. No longer do
we talk in the kindergarten of "a living
wage"
'That belongs to the tadpols days of
the development of the just rights of
men of muscle and thought. We talk of
Just compensation, a reasonable share Of
the profits.
Every man who does a full days
work. bringing the best that is in him
to the task in hand, is entitled to liv-
ing wage and then some. And the then
some is to be measured, not by the COM
petition of workers, so as to recognize
the right of men to enjoy their share
of happiness as well as life and liberty
as defined in the constitution.
what is the fair share of capital, Of
management, of direction, of skill, of
labor is the big question that is up for
solution in this free country. 1t can
not be settled alone by the man who
pays the wage or the man who receives
the wage.
las long as human nature is I'M
changed the average employer will wish
to pay as little as possible and the man
who receives the wage viii be satisfied
with nothing less than the largest pos
sible. Progress is being made, some
times 1t seems very slow TO come, in
coming nearer to an equitable adjust
ment."
The better appreciation Of the rights
Of labor and capital is one of the COM
pensations Of the tragedy of the war,
Mr. Daniels said.
WASHINGTON
Is PRAISED
ITO what can We trace this improve
ment which only foreshadows the larger
application of the juSter relation of la
boris share of the profits?
Frankly let me say to the government
at Washington is due the chief credit.

through your efforts, made possible a series of legislative and adminis- trative reforms without parallel in number and importance in the an nals of any other state.
 It is not practicable, here, to review in detail these reforms. They vitalized existing institutions and created new agencies for the promo ton of the happiness and prosper ity of a progressive people.
 Wcrkmenrs Compensation.
 You secured the passage of a workmen's compensation law which 30 states have taken for a model This measure provides compensation for workmen according to the de- gree of their disability and at the same time safeguards employers a. gainst unfair and extortionate claims. It has worked so well that it is said the number of law suits in- volving workmen's compensation de- creased from approximately 50,00c in 1912 to less than 50 in 1918.
 No better example of courageous dis charge of duty is known than the manner in which you dealt with the industrial problems in Ohio during the war. With firmnes shr shr hr lla you harnonized apparently irrecon- cilable contentious betwen employ ee and employer, and without re- sort to force, succeeded in keeping in continuous operation the steel mining, and transportation industries of the state, admittedly indispensa-

are among the important improve ments you promoted, any one of which is of sufficient merit and i'm portance to entitle you to renown. This incomplete list of reforms you have accomplished for Ohio in the face of organized opposition is evidence of your fitness to bear the weightier burdens and to discharge the more comprehensive responsibili- ties of Chief Executive of the Ma tion.
 It is not alone because of rare ex- ecutive ability so convincingly dis played that this nomination has come to you, but even more for the reason that you are known to be in hearty sympathy with the principles eX- pressed in our party platform.
 Your expressions regarding it's pro- visions are eagerly awaited by the public. It therefore seems appropri- ate that only brief reference to the platform be made in these remarks
 The document clearly defines the attitude of the democratic party or vital domestic and foreign problems Unlike the republican platform, whicf was deliberately made ambiguous II order to conceal irreconcilable differ ences of opinion among the delegates the San Francisco platform is easily understood and is not susceptible O. cconflicting interpretations.
 Domestic Questions.

ble to the comfort of your people and to the success of our armies.
 The Budget system is an endur- ing monument to your genius in statesmanship. This measure placed the various state departments on a sound financial basis. Notwith- standing the greatly increased cost of administration inf fident to the war, the state government has beer operated without increase in tax rates. The measure has proved SC satisfactory that the republican nominee has decided for similar system of coordinating national in. come and expenditures.
 When you became governor you found the rural schools of the state inadequate and poorly maintained. A masterful organization was effected which resulted in consultations from which have come the best rural school system in the Union.
 Prison Reforms.
 The reforms inauguratcd in the prisons of Ohio during your admin istrations have made the penal insti- tutions of this state effective agen- cies for the protection of the public against crimes and the referomation of the criminals.
 The Inter-County Highway Law, from which many other states have modelled their systems, the Mothers Pension Law, the Child Labor Act, the Blue Sky Law, the Warnes Law reforming the tax system of the state

THE PEOPLE ARE WITH TOM TERRAL TO FOREVER ADMINISTER A CRUSHING DEFEAT TO THE MACHINE POLITICS. THEY WANT EVERY VESTIGE OF TIT CRUSHED.
 The people are arrayed in this campaign on the one side and the machine politicians on the other, and the. people are determined to give this politi- cal ring one of the greatest de- feats that has ever come to it. They are determined to de- stroy every vestige of it's pow CT. It must go and will go on the 10th day of august.
 The greatest fight in the history of Arkansas is now on and the people from all sections are rallying to Tom J. |Terrall to administer a crush ing blow to ring politics, and Tom Terral will be nominated by one of the largest majori- ties ever given a candidate for that office. He has been tried and found the friend of the people and will work in their interest.
 The, people want their gov ernment run in their interest and that a business adminis- |tration be given them instead of waste and graft. The affairs of Arkansas must and will be re-organized and placed upon a solid business basis.
 No man who does not have 1the courage and manhood to expose graft and waste and point it out will not possess the courage to clean it out s-hen he is nominated gover- nor. The people have tried PROMISES for the past sev- eraI years and no direct re- suits. A man must under stand the situation and then act in behalf of the people. -oshrdl ashrdlu apu apuauua
