"I heard it told of the French

"You know the little vignette of
the Nativity scene that is exhibited
in Catholic churches at Christmas

Gives Labor Act Views.
In discussing the National Labor
Relations Act, Mr.. Willkie declared:
81 have said that it is the duty of
the Government to protect labor
and the right to bargain collectively.
But it does labor no good to have
the right of collective bargaining
about a job that it doesn't have.
You and know that you can't BAR
gain collectively about nothing.
But the administration of the act
is another thing. It's administration
has been condemned by employer
and labor alike. The mal-adminis-
tration of this act has been-and it
is-one of the most shocking trage-
dies in the history of American in
dustrial relations. The trouble lies,
in the main, not with the act, but
with its administration.
1T would. therefore, seem to me
wise, before materially changing the
act. as many suggest, to change the
administration of it. This would
require some special legislation, but
that problem is not insuperable. If
wiser administration of the act
does not produce the results that We
all want-good relations between
labor and industry-then changes
would be in order"
The cooling off" period in nego-
tiations between capital and labor

he said he hates starvation wages"
and added: Il despise any man who
profits unjustly by those who labor
Against such man I will WELD the
big stick of Theodore Roosevelt"
Along with the cooling off" pro-
posal, Mr.. Willkie suggested also
that labor should be freed from
"the control of any crooked rack
eteers who have found their way
into the labor movement" as we'll as
from unscrupulous employers.
He closed by calling for a "tri-
umvirate of labor, agriculture and
business-one for all and all for one.
That triumvirate will work together.
Each will see the others problems.
Each will sacrifice a little for the
other. Each will work toward the
others gain. And then. then I know
that there is nothing that can stop
this wonderful America, this great
dynamic giant. Nothing can stop
us then from bursting through our
present doubt and disbursement

horizons"

He recommended some decentral-

own problems best
Delivered to a crowd of nearly
10000 in Forbes Field, it was the
most specific exposition Mr.. Willkie
has given of his labor views. And
the impression it leaves with the
workers may be decisive, because the
long tour he made yesterday of
Pittsburgh's big industrial areas
again indicated that Mr. Willkie S
major task is to convince labor that
they would have nothing to lose
from his election.
AS Mr.. Wilkes automobile passed
over 53-mlle route past the big steel
mills sand other heavy industries

President Roosevelt frequently arose
from the children and some of the
men and women who lined the

Groups Listen Respectfully.
Observers noted on the drive
through Pittsburgh that when he
merely rode by, waving greeting,
he got little response or an occa-
sional boo from the workers. But
whenever he stopped and talked to
them-as he did nine times on the
journey-he got respectful attention.
At each of these street stops he
asked them only to listen to both
sides, weigh the arguments and
then make up their own minds.
"All ask is a square shake" he
told them.
When he made this appeal near
one of the mills of the Carnegie
Illinois Steel Corp, a group of work.
