Only an hour before Italy had
turned her back on the League. In,
sudden Instructions TO Aloisi, which
sent him and his staff to Rome post

Italy will not participate in any

ledo, I know, Is celebrating its
hundredth anniversary this year.
There are few cities that have at
tanned such q significant success
in a single century.
Toledo has q background for
success. Its location In the heart
Of the manufacturing empire OF
America has made its industrial
progress inevitable. But. II I
judged correctly from the Toledo
ans who long have been my own
friends, 1t has made q conspicuous
record for itself as q friendly city.
I'm the few minutes have this
morning I want to address myself
especially to those $1,000 Toledo
men and women employed in fac
tories, stores and shops. In short,
] want to talk about labor.
Labor has its rights. 1t Is to
the credit of this generation that
we have come to a much clearer
appreciation Of them, but labor has
false friends. In other nations
they have already betrayed the
men and women who work.
Evolutionary Processes.
Organized labor. in the 50 years
of its experience, has made a dis
tinct contribution to our American
life. It has achieved progressive
reforms for the welfare Of working
men and women through evolu-
tionary rather than revolutionary
processes.
'Workmen's compensation bene-
fits. industrial accident insurance,
child labor laws, minimum wages,
the right to collective bargaining,
relief from the abuse of injunctions.
reduction of hours Of labor-these
are among the improvements
gained for the working people
largely through the efforts of their
organizations.
Organized labor was bravely
and wisely guided for generation
by Its greatest intellectual leader.
the late Samuel Gompers, who
was respected as one of our fore
most statesmen.
"Gompers' courage kept organ
lied labor from being destroyed by
its socialistic enemies. Though
bitterly assailed and personally
abused. his wisdom kept organized
labor from the great temptation to
participate in party politics. This
would inevitably prove ruinous in
the long run to all labor.
Mr.. Gompers believed that or
ganized labor should stand apart
from politics and governmental
management of its affairs. He
maintained that 1t should be
separate. independent, non-poli-
tical organization. 1t must possess
the self-reliance and cooperative
strength to secure rights to the
working people through collective

ing. This Is Of primary impor.
tance. Today there Is little incen-
tive for man on relief to take .
private Job. He knows that II the
Job proves to be temporary 1t may
take weeks and weeks to break
through the jungle Of red tape and
get back on relief under the pres
ent system. This must be reme-
died. We should recognize, too,
that in many eases our unemployed
need training to fit them for new
jobs. We must see to 1t that the
best ethical and educational serv-
ices are made available to them.
And We must see to 1t that our
workers on relief are put In touch
with such Jobs as are available.
II I am elected We will provide
An efiicient employment service.
That means q service which will
bridge the gap between the relief
rolls and q reviving industry will
ing to play it's part In the move
nlent for recovery.
The Republican party proposes
further that Federal public works
shall be undertaken only on their
merits and shall not be confused
with the administration of relief.
I am opposed to the use Of relief
labor, at relief wages, for the con.
struction of Federal public works.
This in broad outline is the Re-
publican position on relief. So long
as the need for relief exists, the
necessary funds must be provided.
And we must bear in mind not only
the physical well being Of our less
fortunate neighbors. but their
spirit, their courage and their faith
as well.
1t Is inconceivable that one sixth
OF our fellow citizens should con-
tinue to be deprived Of those oppor-
tunities for growth and Develop
ment, which are the inalienable
rights Of free men In q free land.

cause in the eyes Of . responsive
public opinion.
He repeatedly declared that
once organized labor engaged in
party politics. and once 1t per-
mitted itself to be afYiliated with
the Government, 1t would lose its
independence and its power to pro-
mote the interests Of the working
people effectively. He foresaw that
affiliation with the Government
would become domination by the
Government.
vindication Of Gompers.
''Mr. Gompers' statesmanlike
perception has been vindicated by
the events Of recent years when
governments have been putting
politics in control of economics.
Look abroad and you will fnd
that where autocrats and dictators
have sprung up from class hatred,
where organized labor through its
short-sighted leadership, has par
ticipated In the political creation
Of new governments, organized
labor has been destroyed. Trade
unionism has been made q statu-
tory crime in many nations. The
working people have become serfs
OF the state. Only last week in o
European nation hours of work in
industry were increased so per cent
without wage adjustment by the
edict Of a single man.
"Organized labor in the United
States must zealously and eternally
guard its own independence. 1t
should beware of the temptations
and illusory promises that are be-
ing offered to 1t by any govern
ment. No matter how flattering
and enticing these offers may ap-
pear at the moment. they mean ulti-
mate dictation by politics.

realize that your organization
cannot settle all the difficulties, but
with the cooperation of employees,
employers and public alike it has
been o notable start toward perma-
nent and substantial justice in
labor controversies. Already 1t has
given you q record that few other
industrial cities In this country can
match.
II am absolutely opposed to any
infringement on the rights Of la
Dor to organize and any curtail-
ment of the right Of freedom Of
assembly. 1t is the Governments
duty to protect labor and the peo-
pie In these rights.
Il. for one. am sorry to see the
recent split in the ranks Of labor
