WARNS AGAINST N. P.L.
Governor Allcn Delivers Labor Day
Address at Russell.

There are too many men trying to
do piece-meal the work formerly done
by one man. Sentiment must favor
maximum production rather than
minimum output. Labor must cast
aside its un-American policy of all
the pay you can get for as little as
you can do"
That was the text from which Gov
ernor Allen spoke when he talked be-
for a big farmers meeting at La
Dor day celebration in Russell. The
governor said there would be no
back to normally until labor turned
back to standard production.
Warnings were issued by Governor
Allen against Nonpartisan League
propaganda and a move to unite radi-
cal labor with radical farmer inter-
ests. A big crowd attended the meet
ing.
in the main the individual work
er is all right" Governor Allen said in
his Russell speech, but too often his
leadership is all wrong. The reason
for unemployment is plain. There
won't be a return to normal condi-
tons until the un-American policy
of all the pay you can get for as little
as you can do is changed to maxi
mum production. Men are idle be-
cause under demands made by the
to do one mans work"
Governor Allen warned the Russell
crowd that Nonpartisan League influ-
ences held the balance of power in
thirty counties and threatened cleo
ton of legislators in these counties.
He found little league sentiment in
Russell county.
