LABOR AND THE PRESIDENT

Some years ago it was the privilege OF the
editor to visit Mexico for a months study OF the
labor government of that country. President
Gales was attempting to enforce the constitution
Of the first revolution for the benefit OF the
workers and farmers of that country. The en-
forcement of the constitution brought bitter and
violent criticism on him. The churches were OPP
posed to him as we'll as big business and the rich
landowners. Mr.. Hearst, through his papers as
we'll as other organizations, were urging Amer
lean Intervention in Mexico. Revolutions threat
ened to spring up. One Sunday a huge parade
was held. 1t was a parade of all the farm and
labor organizations in Mexico. Locals and CEN
trial bodies sent delegates to Mexico City. The
parade was miles long. 1t was a parade to show
the president that Mexican labor was behind
Gales to the limit in his reforms. Gales won
the day, his reforms were put into practice, a
great labor parade and demonstration had turn
ed the trick and given the man new confidence.
President Roosevelt needs such a show Of con-
fidence today, His program nj is one for the bene-
fit of the common workers and farmers. 1t is
not a program to further the ~ill-gotten gains of
big business. AS a result he is being assailed on
every hand by big business. Business leaders
are sabotaging the NRA program wherever pos
sible by evading the provisions of their codes or
stalling off in adopting a code as is the leading
industry Of Butte. Business, as a whole, is do
ing everything possible to cause the Presidents
program to fail. The people he is seeking to
benefit should put on a huge demonstration
throughout the whole of America to show him
that they are behind him 100 per cent regardless
of politics and threats of politicians and Wall
Street.
Butte will stage such a demonstration on the
Presidents birthday. The labor organizations
OF Butte will hold a parade to show their con-
fidence in the President and their support of
what he is trying to do. BUTTE WORKERS,

LINCOLN'S VOICE TODAY.

These are Abraham Lincoln's own inimitable
words in his Message to Congress, 1901
81 see in the near future a crisis approaching
that unnerves me, and causes me to tremble for
the safety of my country. AS a result OF war,
corporations have been enthroned, and an era OF
corruption in the high places will follow, and the
money power of the country will endeavor to
prolong it's reign by working upon the prejudices
of the people until all the wealth is aggregated
in a few hands, and the republic is destroyed. I
feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety
of our country than ever before, even in the
midst Of war. God grant that my forebodings
may be groundless.
Monarchy itself is sometimes limited at as a
refuge from the power OF the people. In my
present position l could scarcely be justified
were / to omit to raise a warning voice against
the approach Of returning despotism. 1t is not
needed nor fitting here that a general argument
should be made in favor of popular Institutions
but there is one point with its connections, not
so hackneyed as most others, to which l ask
brief attention. 1t is assumed that labor is avail
able only in connection with capital that nobody
labors unless somebody else owning capital,
somehow by the use Of it, induces him to labor.
Labor is prior to and independent of capital.
Capital is only the fruit Of labor and could not
have existed if labor had not first existed Labor
is the superior Of capital and deserves much the
higher consideration. / BID THE LABORING
PEOPLE BEWARE OF SURRENDERING
THE POWER WHICH THEY POSSESS, and
which if surrendered will surely be used to shut
the door of advancement for such as they, and
fix new disabilities and burdens upon them until
all of liberty shall be lost.
in the early days of our race the Almighty
said to the first of mankind. In the sweat OF
thy face shalt thou eat bread, and since then,
if we except the light and air of Heaven, no good
thing has been or can be enjoyed by us without
first having cost labor. And inasmuch as most
good things belong of right to those whose la
Dor produced them. But it has SO happened, in
all the ages Of the world, that some have labor
ed and others have without labor, enjoyed a large
portion OF the fruits. This is wrong and should
not continue. To secure to each laborer the
whole product of his labor, as nearly as possible,
is a worthy object of any government.
1T seems strange that any man should dare
to ask a just Gods assistance in w%ringing bread
from the sweat Of other mems faces. THIS

FEDERAL WAGE
FIGHT LOOKS
HOPELESS

WASHINGTON - (FP) - With
Pres. Roosevelt adamant against re-
storing any part of the Is per cent
wage cut during the January-July
half of the current fiscal year, and
dead set against giving more than a
third of the cut back in the next fis-
cal year, the fight of government EN-
ployes for recovery of 1882 wages
turned Jan. IL to the U. S. Senate.
The House, by gag rule, upheld Roose-
velt's budget recommendation.

spectacle of Republicans fighting for

Gratis lined up in opposition, in ODE

cent less wages than they made I'M

WASHINGTON-(FP) - After a

board has II members, including nine

Prices have risen nearly II per cent

Couple currency initiation with the

The Washington times., 1934-03-02

One of the melancholy as
poets of Government as viewed
in the Federal City in recent
months is the tendency of some
of the newcomers to official
power, and some of the old
arrivals as we'll, to forget or to
challenge one of the great OBJ
jectives of the American sys-
tenn of government.
This objective has never been
better defined than in the Con-
Stitution of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts,. In article
80 of that declaration of the
right of the inhabitants of
that Commonwealth the reason
why the executive, legislative
and judicial branches of the
government were made entirely
separate and independent Of
one another is thus set forth:
"To the end that it may be a
government of IaVs and not of
men,"
It is only under "a govern
ment of laws and not Of man"
that for the humblest and the
weakest American citizen, as
for the most eminent and
strongest, government is pro-
lection"
Recent Examples
Government is no longer pro-
lection for it's citizens when it's
officials are permitted publicly
to condemn any citizen as
guilty of any crime, or mis-
demeanor and, to punish him,
if you please, before that cit
izen has been given a chance
to be heard in his own defense.
When such a thing happens
government ceases to be pro-
lection and therefore is no
longer the Government of the
Federal Constitution.
Take only three recent ex.
amples of many that could be
cited:
If the Government at Wash
ington were functioning today
as "a Government of laws
and not of men" such citizens
as Charles A. Lindbergh OF
Missouri, Charles Francis
Adams of Massachusetts,, and
Herbert Hoover, jr., Of Cali
fornia, would not have been
subjected to public condemna-
ton by any agent of either
House of Congress or by any
governmental official without
a chance to be heard in their
own defense.
