ed at the expense of German
labor. I personally went into the
laboring districts Of the city of
Berlin last winter and know the
depths of suffering which existed
at that time.
II talked to some Of the represen-
tatives of German labor who had
been before our export committee
which was trying to find some way to
help the allies and Germany to a
Christian peace and prosperity. In
their talks with me they referred to
the American tariff, not as oppres-
sing them. but as showing that the
great American republic recognized
that for all its people to prosper.
labor must be protected In that fair
return from which alone national
happiness and progress is possible.
American labor knows that its
interests are subserved by the posi-
ton of the republican party on the
tariff. 1t knows that its welfare de-
pends upon the protective policy spon-
sored by the republican party. and
that the reversal of that policy, de-
manded by the democratic party,
means lower wages and lowered
standard of living. 1t knows that
the success OF La Toilette means
chaos. out of which can only come
lower wages and lower standards of
living for all our people.
General phrases are all very we'll,
but American labor is too intelligent
to be fooled as to where its interests
lie in the tariff question. They are
too intelligent to be fooled, also, by
a certain brand of nebulous clap-trap
preached to them by a few leaders
who want to use them as a political
asset. in combination with social
lists. flying the red flag.

For Trades Unions
With Sane Leaders.

THE benefits of trades unions,
honestly administered, are recog-
nized not only by me. but by
good citizens generally, whether
in or out of trades unionism. 1t
has elevated, protected and digni-
fled labor, and in so doing, II has
been an element in the progress
of our nation.
But why do so many poll
ticians of both parties continue
to regard the great, intelligent,
honest, and conservative body OF
trades unionism as IL 1t were
puppet In the hands of a few
socialist labor leaders and polit-
cal demagogues?.
Trades unionism stands Loyalty
and solidly behind its good LEADERSHIP
concerned with the real interest of
the crafts and the real progress OF
labor, but 1t has never followed, and
will never follow the demagogues.
When 1t selects labor leaders, II Sc
lects them for leaders of labor In
the interest of labor, not as propri-
etors Of its conscience or politics.
Let me state a great truth which
no one understands better than those
fine citizens, the upright labor lead
ers of the country and the great body
OF union labor: the worst enemies
to unionism and the progress of labor
are the small number of radical labor
leaders who attack 1aw-enforcing
judges, and who, to the injury of law
abiding trades unionism. misrepre-
sented the patriotic citizens belong
ing to IL.
In Illinois and elsewhere, I have
been denounced because 1 have op.
posed the kind OF union tactics that
have made building operations m Chi
cago dangerous TO human life, where
corrupt men have used their influ-
ence TO extort vast sums from the
contractors. and where the gunnsn
and the bomb.maker have been se.
lively at work. Every lsboring man
knows OF this condition in Chicago
during the last four years-that there
nave been murders and bombing by
the wholesale-that there has been
extortion and jury.fixing. and that
certain labor leaders have gone into
politics In order to defeat law en-.
forcing judges.
