Lauds Dabor-New Deal
5. DR.. Nylander's declaration tina
one result of the Wagner Labor Re-
lations act. which he defended II
its present form, has been tint
bringing OF labor . into tha'
political resurgence of the urban
and middle class of which the New
Deal is a manifestation. In the
United States he continued, the
majority of the workers have the
traditional middle class point OF
view which explains their unparal-
leled response to the emotional and
intellectual appeals of the New
Deal
DR.. Nylanders speech was con-
fined largely TO workings OF the
Wagner act and the National Labor
Relations board. and to an attack
on the two per cent of unwilling
and lawbreaking employers that
flaunt labor's right to self organl-
cation"
Young Olson in a short talk dis
cussed mostly civil liberties, chiding
the county fair board on behalf of
his father, the governor.
Healey. the chairman. seized the
opportunity offered by ntroduc-
tions to present arguments in be-
half of organized labor, attacks on
the Associated Farmers, boosts for
the New Deal and Olson admins
trations. and the explanation that
the Laborers' Non-Partisan league
is made UP of the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations. the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, the Work
ers Alliance, the railroad brother
hoods. the National Negro Congress,
the Spanish American Workers
Congress and similar organiza tions.
Hitting Below Belt
Patterson'S speech, in which he
departed from a prepared text al
most entirely, lashed out severely
against the county fair board and
its chairman, Ben Hulse, for refus-
al TO grant the laborers' league per-
mission to use the fair grounds.
4 regret :" Patterson said,
that because the Non-Partisan
league wanted the meeting and be-
cause it invited Ellis E. Patterson
as lieutenant governor to speak,
that a member of the board, an ex-
senator, could give out to the press
such a degrading remark that if
Ellis E. Patterson spoke the meet
ing would end in a riot That is
nonsense and hitting below the
belt
Again he said:
THE reason they refused was be-
administration in every way they
can and if the governor shows good
sense, and if he takes my recon-
mendation when this board comes
up for re-appointment. he will see
that they have progressive Demo-
Gratis on that board"
Later. still speaking of Hulse,
Patterson said:
AS far as I am concerned he
knew you people wouldn't go for
any riots because I talked to you
and he knows would advise you
against any violence or anything
like that. He knows that, and
want just to say that is hitting a
little below the belt. when men
will do and take such action against
people because they happen to be
of a different political party
Now I would say TO the fair board
and TO this ex-senator, would vel
come him TO come here in debate
tonight or any other night after tht
session of the legislature Is out
because I don't think it is import.
ant enough to come down to other
wise
Patterson complimented State
Senator Edward H Law, who, ht
said. came to him in Sacramento
when the news of the fair boarc
action reached there. and apoligiz
ed for the action taken in thi.
county.
