TwO-Fold Opportunity
Necessary For Man.
The average man must have that
two-fold opportunity If we are to
avoid growth of a class-conscious So
ciety In the country.
There are those who fail to read
both the signs Of the times and
American history. They would try to
refuse the worker any effective power
to bargain collectively, to earn q
decent livelihood and to acquire Sc
curity. 1t is those shortsighted ones,
| not labor, who threaten this country
with that class dissension which in
| other countries has led to dictatorship
and the establishment of fear and
hatred as the dominant emotions in
human life.
All American workers, brain workers
and manual workers alike, and all the
rest of us whose well-being depends
on theirs, know that our needs are
one in building an orderly economic
democracy in which all can profit
and in which all can be secure from
the kind of faulty economic direction
which brought us to the brink Of
common ruin seven years ago.
There is no cleavage between white-
collar workers and manual workers,
between artist and artisans, musi-
clans and mechanics, lawyers and ac-
countants and architects and miners.
Tomorrow, Labor day, belongs to
all of us. Tomorrow, Labor day, SYM

Any one who calls it class holiday

operative State and Federal enterprise,
through which the Federal Govern
ment matches dollar for dollar the
funds provided by the States for reg
istering the occupations and skills Of
workers and for actually finding jobs
for these registered workers in pri-
vate industry. The Federal-State CO.
operation has been splendid. Already
employment services are operating in
80 States, and the areas not covered
by them are served by the Federal
Government.
We have developed a Nationwide
service with TOO district offices and
1000 branch offices, thus providing
facilities through which labor can
learn Of jobs available and employers
can find workers.
Last Spring I expressed the hope
that employers would realize their
deep responsibility to take men off
the relief rolls and give them jobs in
private enterprises. Subsequently I
was told by many employers that they
were not satisfied with the informa-
ton available concerning the skill and
experience of the workers on the relief
rolls. On August rs I allocated a
relatively small sum to the employ
ment service for the purpose of get
ting better and more recent informa-
ton In regard to those now actively
at work on w. P. A. projectS-infor-
nation as to their skills and previous
occupations-and to Keep the records
of such men and women up to date for
maximum service in making them
available to industry. Tonight I am
announcing the ALLEGATION of $780,
600 more to enable the employment
service to make an even more inten-
sive search than it has yet been
equipped to make, to find opportuni-
ties in private employment for work.
ers registered with it.
Tonight urge the workers to CO.
operate with and take full advantage
of this intenSification Of the work of
the employment service. This does
not mean that there will be any
lessening of our efforts under our
w. P. A. and P. w. A. and other
work-relief programs until all workers
have decent jobs in private employ
ment at decent wages. We do not
surrender our responsibility to the un-
employed. We have had ample proof
that it is the will of the American

brave spirit with which SO many mil
lions of working people are winning
their way out Of depression deserves
respect and admiration. It is like
the courage of the farmers in the
drought areas.
That is my first reason. The Sec
ond is that healthy employment con-
ditions stand equally with healthy
agricultural conditions as a buttress
of national prosperity. Dependable
employment at fair wages Is just as
important to the people in the towns
and cities as good farm income is to
agriculture. Our people must have
the ability to buy the goods they man
ufacture and the crops they produce.
Thus city wages and farm buying
power are the two strong legs that
carry the Nation forward.
Unemployment in industry is pro.
ceeding rapidly. Government spend
ing was in large part responsible for
keeping industry going and putting
it in position to make this re-em-
ployment possible. Government or
ders were the back log Of heavy in
dustry, Government wages turned over
and over again to make consumer
purchasing power and to sustain every
merchant in the community. Busi-
ness men with their business, small
and large, had to be saved. Private
enterprise is necessary to any ma
ton which seeks to maintain the
democratic form Of government. In
their case, just as certainly as in the
case of drought-stricken farmers,
Government spending has saved.
Government having spent wisely to
save it, private industry begins to take
workers off the rolls of the Govern
ment relief program. Until this ad-
ministration We had no free employ
ment service, except in few States
and cities. Because there was no uni
fed employment service, the worker,
forced to move as industry moved,
often travelled over the country, wan
dering after jobs which seemed always
to travel just little faster than he
did. He was often victimized by
fraudulent practices of employment
clearing houses. and the facts of en-
ployment opportunities were at the
disposal neither of himself nor of the
employer.

in this country has never been class

significance as a national holiday
than it has now. In other countries
the relationship of employer and
employe has been more or less ac-
cepted as class relationship not
readily to be broken through. In this
country We insist. as an essential of
the American way of life, that the

Government wants to use resource to
get private work for those now en-
ployed on Government work, and thus
to curtail to a minimum the Govern
ment expenditures for direct en-
ployment.

A crew of twenty men, with their
baggage, camp equipment and tools,
left Juneau late yesterday after
noon aboard the motorship Treva
c., Capt. Ralph Reischl, for the
Kensington Mine at Berners Bay,
where they will be employed by the
Kensington Mining Company at
constructing highway two and
one-half miles long, from the beach
to the terminus of the tram at the
mine.
The length of time required to
complete the highway will depend
largely upon snow and weather con-
ditions, according to Rex Early, in
charge of operations for the COM
pany, who arrived last Friday on
the Princess Norah. The men who
went to Berners Bay today consti-
tute full crew, Mr.. Early said, and
no more men will be hired for some
time.
A fifty-horsepower caterpillar eq-
tipped with a bulldozer, enroute to
Alaska aboard the Victoria, will be
unloaded upon scow in Berners
Bay, Mr.. Early said, and will be used
in construction of the highway.

ERECTING TROUT
TRAPS FOR STUDY

With Gerald Banta and crew
of workmen aboard, the Ranger TX,
George Sarvela, captain, left this
morning for Sitkoh Bay where the
Forest Service is preparing to con-
struct two trout traps with the aim
of making a study of dolly vardens.
The Forest Service every year gets
many requests for permits to build
traps to catch dollys for commercial
or other use but has taken no action
on them until research could be
made. 1t is proposed by means of
the traps to learn the habits of the
dolly warden and find whether it
would be advisable to allow traps
at certain times of the year. The
dollys are not protected by the new
trout fishing regulations and the
Bureau of Fisheries is cooperating
with the Forest Service in the ex-
pertinent.
