dustry today. I can see, too, q spread
OF work under more satisfactory con-
ditions.
I have repeated much lately that
my conception Of the Constitution Of
the United States was one which REQ
ognized that great document as being
the companion Of the people in the
accomplishment of their objective.
Surely the Government operating
Under that Constitution must fbe that
also. Gould there be a worthier cause
for any companion to attempt than
to try to better the conditions OF his
fellows. The wage and hour law
viewed in this light makes 1t an almost
sacred instrument In the attainment
OF the worthy objectives of better con-
ditions for all the people. You may
rest assured that none of us sense the
responsibility facing us lightly.

hearts grieve over mans ability to
impose such burdens on children, with
out ridiculously depriving . child Of
the pleasure he has Of helping with
the Light work IN the garden or she
has Of helping mother with the
dishes. The rule Of reason must apply,
here - elsewhere. Despite the cry
for an early closing Of Congress, there,
Il no one, + am sure, on the slated
Conference Committee, who has not
the time and will not take the time,
to see this thing through right.
As have intin1ated, am not much
concerned with the exemptions. They
must not be 50 many that labor will
be discouraged or disguised. They
must not be any greater in volume or
amount than to make up the invariable
exception that proves the rule, the rule
being in this case universal wage and
hour levels at fair standard through
out America.
Our minorities, too. may easily fall
within discussion Of exceptions and
exemptions. I do not think that the
people of our island or peninsular
territories and possessions are beasts
Of burden. They are folks, too. They
have not been treated as much like
folks as those Of the. States, and for
this reason. and only for this reason,
q sudden veering would be q disloca-
ton. As in the States, this must not
happen. The discretion Of fair labor
board seems almost indispensable when
we consider the current labor condi-
tions in territorial America. A blanket
rule for them might mean disaster
over whole community. It is not my
fault that this is so, and perhaps it
Is not the fault of any individual
listening tonight. Perhaps like Topsy,
our conditions on the continent as
here just "growed." but they are there
as they are here. It would serve the
responsible parties right II we did
step in and ruin their industries if
they have been sweating labor for
practically no wage. But . sudden
jar would punish the innocent as well

as guilty. I am not trying to stir
any ono up against conditions any
where, but II there Is semi-serfdom In
any Of our possessions 1t viii not help
matters any to say with audiences
that hereafter all these wage earners
are to get rs cents an hour, particu-
larly II the employer cannot pay 1t.
Exceptions Always Problem.
These matters are the edges Of any
bill. My only point in bringing them
up Is to show that we always have
Q problem In exceptions. Labor Is
rightfully mistrustful of any exceptions
and any exemptions. Labor has seen
the making OF exceptions and exemp-
tions abused in many fields, no doubt,
and I admire 1t for its stand, If it has
taken stand, for rigidity. But labor
Is not incapable of recognizing a
friend. Labor, often betrayed at and
after the polls, Is wondering and un-
certain. but Is not calloused, trust,
to at least the current administration
and Congress. We have TO trust
some one in this world, and we may as
well begin with fair standards board
If 1t Is selected by q man and con-
nrmed by legislative body which be-
ueye In fair standards repeat, we
may as well begin with such q board,
II the subject is fair standards OF
labor.
I am not, in fact, worried about
labor support. Labor knows that
whatever wage and hour bill is enacted
1t is the beginning of a new era, and
II 1t is only beginning it must be
on such sure and safe ground that it
will not invite an immediate repeal, as
have some bills on other subjects in
the past. We do not want to go
backward, ever. I can see in the
product Of the combined bills, as it
comes out Of conference, II we have
been inspired meanwhile, healthier,
happier children, more luxuries,
stimulated production, greater pur-
chasing power and q contribution

frozen condition in business and in

sort for a veteran who called
upon me. When these veterans
were from Maryland and their
requirements had to be filled by
compensation from the Veterans
Administration or by being IA
vorably considered for a job with
some Government agency I
would need the help of some
Maryland oftlce-holder. Mr..
Lewis never failed to do all in
his power to assist me to bring
home the bacon for the hungry
veteran and his family. Mr..
Lewis stood solidly behind these
veterans when they needed some
thing. Now he needs votes and
it is my earnest hope the Mary
land veterans will stand just as
Solidly behind him.

Lewis was while I was national

from nearby Maryland in their
various difficulties. Again Mr..

Lewis came through on every
occasion. So, if I may repeat
myself, I will say David Lewis
stood solidly behind the Govern
ment employees when they
needed his help. Now he needs
votes and it is my earnest hope
that the Maryland Government
workers will stand just as solidly
behind him.
AS both the AFL and the CLIO
have spoken in favor Of Mr..
Lewis he does not need my state
ment on that. I would like to
say, however, that if the general
citizenry of Maryland have
watched the able and honest way
Mr.. Lewis has represented his
district in Congress, they, too,
will join the veterans and the
Government workers and vote
for Mr.. Lewis in the coming
primary.

Backing LeuOis

AS one who has the interest
of labor, particularly those mem
bers federally employed, and of
the veterans very much at heart
would like to call upon both
to support to the hilt the efforts
of David L. Lewis to win the
Democratic nomination for the
United States Senate from
Maryland.
In two of my former jobs had
reason many times to ask for the
assistance of Davey Lewis in my
efforts to properly represent
those whom I was appointed or
elected to serve. In no case did
I find his attitude toward labor
and veterans anything but most
cooperative.
My first contacts with Mr..
Lewis came while I was director
of the Veterans Employment
Service of the Department of
Labor. My job was a small one.
All I had to do was to try to get
jobs for the million or more vet
Grams out of work at that time
on a misery appropriation Of
less than 100000. While most
of the veterans in distant States
made their contacts through
our branch Offices in those States
the District, Maryland and Vir-
GINA veterans would come to me
personally in spite of the fact
that I also had a branch Office
here.
