No Statement on Knox

No statement on the record of Col
Frank Knox, republican vice -presi- 1
Dental candidate was listed It was
pointed out that Knox has never been
representative in congress or any
legislature"
"The non partisan political cam
paign committee is unable, therefore,
to give his labor record the report
said.
A list of AZ bills signed by Presi
dent Roosevelt were tabluated, all de-
scribed as favorable to labor"
Among these were: Creating Home
Owners Loan Corporation for relief of
harassed homeowners who could not
pay the interest on their property;
creating the Tennessee valley au-
thority; appropriating S4,880,000,0oo
for relief of unemployed; forbidding
transportation of prison-made prod
ucts into states having state-use
syetem; retirement system for rail
road employees"
Non Partisan Stand Stressed
The federation urged all its mem
bers to vote but re-emphasized its
partisan policy with these words:
1t must be remembered that the
American labor movement is not
partisan to a political party. 1t is
partisan to principles the principles
of righteousness, freedom and jus
tice'
The report admonished wage earn
ers to:
Stand faithfully by our friends and
elect them. Oppose our enemies and
defeat them; whether they be candi-
dates for president, for congress, or
Iothe offices; whether executive, legis-
lative or judicial.
The committee that prepared the
report consisted of William Green,
Frank Morrison, G. NJ. Bugniazet,
Thomas A. Rickert, Matthew Woll

Non-Partisan Report on Candidates Cites Presi-
dents Action on Bills Since l9ll-Landons
Statements on Labor Given in Messages to-
Legislature and in Accepting Nomination.

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) -Presi-
dent Rooseveit's labor record was in
terpreted as favorable to labor in
report of the American Federation
of Labor's non partisan political cam
paign committee.
Governor Landon's record was pre-
sented in detail, but was not inter-
preted as favorable or unfavorable
because it was not available in the
same concrete form of labor bills sup
ported or opposed.
The report similarly classified the
presidential candidates, giving
John N. Garner a legislative score Of
favorable action on II bills and un-
favorable action on Is bills. Frank
Knox was left unclassiied because
the report said he never had been
called upon to go on record on specific
legislative measures.
Roosevelt's labor record was anal
yzed from the time when he was a
member of the New York state sem
ate in 1911 until the present year. 1t
recalled that 25 years ago he voted
for the Wagner factory Investigating
commission law, an eight-hour day
for city policemen, and various other
measures limiting hours in certain in
dustries and affecting the limitation
Of child labor.
Record as Governor Cited
The report in great detail listed his
efforts to better workingmen's condi-
tions while he was governor of New
York state.
Without comment a list of AZ bills
signed by the president was tabulated.
They were all described as favorable
to labor"
Governor Landon's record was not
listed as governor of Kansas.
All that was recorded for him was d
series of excerpts from messages de
livered by the governor to Kansas
Legislature sessions and having to dc
with labor and social security.
Child Labor Amendment Urged
These dealt with an emergency re-
lief tax, child labor, unemployment
and social security.
One of them said:
4 Every possible effort should b.
made by the state government tx
ameliorate the condition of Kansas
workers
Another recorded request thai
Kansas ratify a child labor amend
ment in 1888.
Landon's references to labor in hi.
speech accepting the republican nomi
nation for president were printed.
Vice President Gamers record
showed in 28 years of political activ
i ity, vote on 35 bills having to dc
with measures of interest to labor
Of these, II votes were tabulated a.
| favorable" Is as "unfavorable" ane
the rest were not voted upon.
