COMMON SENSE
LABOR PROGRAM

Cleveland, o., Sept. A plea
to forget destructive thoughts and
turn time and energy to construc-
tive policies is contained in the
Labor day message Of w. G. Lee,
president OF the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen.
Labor is charged with being
militant and the charge is true, .
he said. "The same may be said
OF any nation or people who have
accomplished anything. Had labor
not been militant the relation OF
master and slave would still exist.
Whatever labor has gained it
has secured by its strength either
directed through the force of its
organizations or through the en-
actment of laws and has done SO
against the combined forces Of
the employer.
tInstead of continuing pro-
gram of reprisals both capital and
labor must agree to a common
sense, fair and practical adjust
ment of their differences or there
will be what amounts to conscrip-
tion of certain classes OF both In
the interest of common welfare"

Acknowledgements were received from such widely scattered points as Norway, Germany, France, Italy, England, Belgium, Sweden, Hawaii, Canada, Cuba, Japan, New Zealand, Panama, Colombia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and Australia.
