color, creed and rae, with such differ

together under the same laws Eu'

America. Can an Irishman and an
Englishman live side by side in
peace? Can German and French
man ever worship the same flag? Can
a Russian and a Pole ever dwell to.
gether in the same community with
out fighting? Can Jews and Gentiles
do business with each other without
cheating? Can members Of the Bal.

We must covet the same hope for

national brotherhood and universal
peace. AS we rescued Cuba from the
hands Of her oppressors and then
gave Cuba back to herself that she

Lewis MAKES public
STAND ON CONDUCT
OF LABOR PROGRAM
fRy Associated pressl

DENVER. Colo. June 23.-Govern-
ment ownership of the railroads and
naturalization of the mines are the
two major issues on which John j.
Lewis hopes to win the presidency of
the American Federation of Labor, it
was learned today On the other hand,
President Samuel Gompers was striv-
ing for reelection upon his record of
the past forty-one years as a leader in
the American Labor movement.
In his first public statement as to
his platform Mr.. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers said: Il
stand for government ownership of the
railroads and naturalization Of the
mines and other progressive legislation
that will give the workers and the
toilers of America the freedom and
justice in Industry they deserve.
Would Protect Workers.
II stand for health insurance, old
age pensions and unemployment insur-
ance-ail progressive measures for the
relief of the working masses. The en-
2ctment of laws covering these sub
jects would give to the workers ade
quate protection and reward for the
service that they have rendered in
dustry."
Mr. Lewis said that he had taken nc
definite stand on the subject of rela
tions with European trades unior
movements. adding: II believe, how
ever, that some logical proposition car
be worked out by which the American
Labor movement again can be affili
ated with the international federation
of trade unions Of course the auton
omy of the American organization
must be fully guaranteed.
In any event, l believe we should
not lose contact with the European
federation and we should be in com
munication with that body.
"All my policies" he continued
will be formulated on a sane anc
constructive basis and be assigned Il
meet and adequately dispose of th'
great issues that confront organized
labor as they exist today"
