BY WILLIAM s., NEAL

Refreshed BY two days rest and
apparently I'll good trim for any
kind OF politicaf fisticuff s. Herbert
Hoover. the Republican presidential
nominee, today plunged into q series
OF conferences which will decide the
immediate future OF the Repunlican
campaign on the easteFn seabeartl.
The first major question 10 besie-
cided by Hoover and his aides Is
whether the nominee shall go before
the country with an elaboration OF
his views on labor in q Labor Day
speech one week from today.
Although Republican leaders boast
that Hoover Is stronger with labor
than any other party candidate
since Roosevelt the bid Gov. Alfred
Il. Smith made for the working
man vote In his acceptance
address. has caused many advisers
to suggest to Hoover that he make
it the exclusive subject OF one
speech.
Expect It to Be Issue
1T was pointed out that both
candidates have approved collective
bargaining, promised fair deal to
labor and recognized the injunction
problem. Smith. however, went 80
much into detail on the Injunction
question that many Republican
leaders believe that he will make
a campaign issue Of It.
In accepting the nomination
Hoover referred 10 the question BY
saying: 'sThe Republican party gives
the pledge of the party to the sJp-
port of labor. 1t endorses Inc
principle of collective bargaining
and freedom in labor negotiations.
we stand also pledged to the cur
Lailnaent OF excessive use OF the
injunction In labor disputes.
Governor Smith. calling attention
to the Senate Judiciary Committees
study of the injunction question,
said: 1T promise fun cooperation to
the end that a definite remedy by
law be brought forth to end the
existing evils and preserve the Cons
stitutionaI guarantees Of individual
liberty. free assemblage and speech
and the rights Of peaceful persua'
sion"
Hoover has received Labor Day
invitations from several cities. but
If he leaves Washington to speak
on that occasion it is believed that
he will choose Baltimore and broad
cast the address.
The whole trend of discussion
around the Hoover headquarters
deals with the. East. An official
declaration representing the views
of National Chairman Hubert Work
declares that In the West only
Missouri. Montana, Arizona and
wisconsin, might be classed aa
doubtful.
within the next three weeks
Hoover is expected to be found
on the stump in the East, pounding
home his declaration that COM
tinuance of Republican manage
ment of the affairs OF the Govern
ment and maintenance of the pro-
tective tariff are paramount Qles.
tions in the campaign.
