DAVIS WILL URGE
THAT LABOR HAVE
VOICE IN INDUSTRY
Democratic Nominee Views
Workmen's Councils as
Aid to Employers


In his Labor day speech, John W.
Davis very likely will give a fun
exposition Of his views, first stated
!. in his acceptance add@ss, that de-
- mocracy in government and de-
~S1nocracy in industry alike demand
the free recognition of the right OF
all of those who work. in whatever
rank or place, to share in all deci-
sions that affect their welfare.
On behalf of the Democratic presi-
Dental candidate, it was stated to-
day that his conviction is that there
can be no lasting settlement of in
dustrial unrest until the workers
have a share in the councils of in
dustry and that labor's knowledge
of its own needs gives it a right to
a voice in. all matters of government
that directly or peculiarly AFFECT
this right.
With labor having voice in the
management of industry, Mr.. Davis
believes there will be removed the m
cause for industrial disputes because
there will be full opportunity Tor
the workers to have knowledge o.
exact conditions respecting the
adequacy of wages and other matters
which usually form the basis OF dis
agreement.
Favors Stock Sharing
The Democratic nominee also Is
represented as holding to the view
that the plan of stock distribution to
n
some lines of industry should be
given wide application as one that
has and will prove helpful alike to
labor and to industry.
With respect to representation in
government circles. Mr. Davis be-
lieves that these agencies dealing
with labor should be given into the
charge of men who have had prac~
teal experience and who thus would
bring to their task an intimate
knowledge both of the problem and
questions demanding solution and of
conditions as they exist in practice
rather than in theory.
The Democratic nominee remained
at his home here today marshalling
material for bis forthcoming ad
dresses. He spent the entire morn
ing in his study and made sub
stantial progress on the speech he
is to deliver at Columbus, o., on
August 26.
TO Speak i'm East
Before going to the west, Mr..
Davis will deliver two addresses in
the east, both at Sea Girt, N. j.,
next Friday, it was stated today at
his headquarters. The first will be
before the state Democratic commit
tee and the second at an open air
meeting.
The place for the delivery of the
Labor day address still is underter-
mined. While some of his advisors
have urged that he make at least
one speech between August 26 and
September /, it is not at all certain
that he will do so as, personally. he
does not believe in too great an eX-
penditure of effort and ammunition
in the early stages of the campaign.
Besides working on his addresses,
Mr.. Davis conferred today with Sen
ator Copeland, of New York, who
volunteered his services in the cam
paign, and played a round of golf
with George Gardner, a former law
partner.
