Justice for the great masses or
Americas wage earners and to
make that ideal reality.
We all know that our country
has been going through profound
changes and that these changes
have necessitated special reconsid-
Grafton of the problems Of the wage
earners and the farmers. Automa-
tic machinery, the device of cor.
porate ownership and management,
the monumental accumulation OF
capital-these are some of the fac
tors that have made it necessary
for our country and its government
to look at men and measures from
a new point of view, seeking new
means for the restoration OF equal
ity of opportunity.
During the past three years we
have endeavored to correct through
legislation certain of the evils In
our economic system. We have
sought to put a stop to certain &C.
nomic practices which did not pro-
mote the general welfare.
LAWS INVALID
Some of the laws which were en-
acted were declared invalid by the
supreme court. 1t Is a notable fact
that it was not the wage earners
who cheered when those laws were
declared invalid. l greet you in the
faith that future history will show,
as past history has SO repeatedly
and so effectively shown, that q
return to reactionary practices is
ever short-lived. Having tasted the
benefits of liberation, men and wo-
men do not for long forego those
benefits.
have implicit faith that we shall
find our way to progress through

What is of vast importance al
this critical time is the fact that
we have a common heritage oi
principle and that we are bound
with millions of our fellow Ameri
cans, in a common determination ia
preserve human freedom and en-
large it's sphere and to prevent for
ever a return to that despotisn
which comes from unlicensed pow
er to control and manipulate the
;desources of our nation, and the
destiny of human lives.
In extending to all who attend
your meeting my hearty felicitation,
1 am heartened by the conviction
that we are all working for thu
same ideal-the restoration ant
preservation of human liberty ant
human rights.

Goyette said. Indications are that
the demand for the products will
prove sufficient to absorb all tho
workers now being trained on the
project, he stated.
Occasional orders have in the
past been taken by workers and
been filled outside reguar working
hours. Copper has been furnished
by the county, and costs deducted
from the proceeds ACQUIRING from
sales.
Wide Variety Of Articles
None of the articles made during
the hours of work paid for from
federal funds can be sold, it was
pointed out These articles make
up collections which are on ex.
hibit here, in Phoenix, San Diego,
New York and other places. The
exhibitions have resulted in numer-
our orders for duplicates of articles
displayed, and led up to the con-
tracts which have been signed with
the California concerns.
A wide variety of articles have
been made by hand by the work
men ON the project, about 25 of
whom are now employed. Various
types of vessels, dishes and uten-
sils, household furnishings and
trinkets, and other types of articles
have been ordered.
The project is producing only
articles to be used in public build
ings. Considerable metalwork Is
being done for the furnishing of
the Pima county hospital, now
under construction under a county
WPA program, including lighting
fixtures, utensils and other work,
and considerable work has been |
done for the county-WPA operated
preventorium, as well as |
other public buildings.

Although representatives Of the

Of the copperwork were quoted to
the effect that the products are un-

Indian workmen, patient and
skillful, worked intricate designs
in beaten copper centuries ago IN
Central America, using tools es-
sentially the same as those with
which these workers chisel and
hammer the soft metal.
The articles produced on the pro.

allowed to assume the darkened

the present time, about so per cent

The middle of the 10th century

were playing with the idea Of on
