The prosperity of the American ma

republican party stands now as al

government into business.
American industry should not be

STAND TAKEN ON
LABOR QUESTION

no tbe constant and necessary efforts
hacause of world competition to in
oroase production and decrease costs,
has made it specially incumbent on
those in authority to protect labor
from undue exactions.
We commend congress for having
recognized this possibility in It's
prompt adoption of the recommends
tion of President Coolidge for a con-
stitutional amendment authorizing
congress to legislate on the subject OF
child labor and we urge the prompt
consideration of that amendment by
tbe legislatures of the various states
There is no success great enough to
Justify the employment of women In
labor under conditions which Will I'M
pair their natural functions.
We favor high standards for wage
working and living conditions among
the women employed in industry. we
declare our faith in the S-hour day..
We pledge a continuation of the
work of rehibilitating workers in IN
dustry as conducted by the federal
board for vocational education, and
favor adequate appropriations for this
purpose.
We favor a broader and better sys-
TEN of vocational education, more
adequate system of federal free EN-

GOOD TRANSPORTATION
AT LOWEST RATES

The people demand and Iare en-
titled to have prompt and efficient
transportation at the lowest rates con-
sistent with good serfice and a rea-
sOnable return upon the value of pro-
devoted to public service.
We believe that the American peo-
pie demand, and we favor, a careful
and scientific readjustment of rail
road rate schedules with view TO the
encouragement of agriculture and
basic Industries without impairment
Of railroad service.
The present laws regulating rail-
roads which were enacted to meet
post war conditions should be mOdi-
fed from time to time as experience
shows the necessity therefore. The
combination of railroads into few
competitive systems subject to the
approval of the interstate commerce
commission Should be provided for.
The labor board provisions of the
present law should be amended
whenever it appears from experience
that such action is necessary. Collec-
tive bargaining, mediation and volun-
tary arDltratlOn are the most IMPORT
ant Steps in maintaining peaceful Ia
Dor relations and should be en-
couraged. We do not believe in COM
pulsory action at any time in the set
uement of labor disputes. Public
opinion must be the final arbiter in
any crisis which so vitality affects
public welfare as the suspension OF
transportation.
Therefore. the interests of the pub
lie require the maintenance of an i'm
partial tribunal which can in any
emergency make an investigation OF
the facts and publish its conclusions.
This is essential as basis for popu-
Lar judgment.
We favor a stable, consistent and
constructive policy toward our rail-
roads.

Reinstatement Ordered

After ten years of effort, during
which the old man was often hard
pressed by poverty, President Harding
finally ordered his reinstatement in
1921. So Taylor gave up his job as
Waterman at the county poorhouse
and went back to work at the pos
Office.
But his joy was short-lived. Two
weeks later the P~ostoffice Department
informed the old man that he was now
past the age limit and would have to
get out. And-it sounds unbelievable
the FCstoffice Department also de
manded that he return the 1880 sal
airy that had been paid to him for
those two weeks.
"Old Mr.. Taylor told them" says
Congressman Montague Of Virginia.
that he couldn't return the money
as he had already spent it for food.
And, too. his wife had been sick"
Taylor tried to go back to his old
job with the county, but he found it
had been filled by another. So he
tramped the streets Of Richmond,
hunting for work. but nobody wanted
a ~71-year-old man who had never done
anything put work In the postofrice.
His aged wife. unable to endure hard
ship any longer. died just a few
months ago and left him alone.
