In all Of these plans for national

will reject that kind of propaganda

that against the raging forces loose

fact-proVed in the past year.
I hate war now more than ever

to do all I can to keep war away
from these shores for all time. I
stand, with my party, upon the
platform adopted in Chicago:
We will not participate in for

our Army, naval or air forces to
fight in foreign lands outside of
the Americas, except in case of
attack.
Let us have an end to the sort of
appeasement which seeks to keep

The continuance Of this team

Roosevelt Warns Teumsters Some Forces

That kind of opposition comes

then for four months loudly pro-
claim that they are labor's true
friends-from those who love the
laboring man in November but for

In spite of that opposition the
vast majority of our small business

Advance Is Accomplished
With Patience, Deliberation.
Our advance has been accom-
pllShed with patience and delibera-
ton. That is the democratic way;
that is the road which leads to last
| ing results. Here in America we
have kept our feet on the ground:
our progress has been steady and
sure; we have not been misled by
| illuSory promises.
Events abroad have shown too
late the result of the other kind of
methods-promises of swift, revolu-
tionary relief; seductive pictures of
panaceaS; short cuts to prosperity
and plenty, pictured as simple and
easy-all of these have led to the
same cruel disappointment. For
these promises people yielded up
their liberties and all that made life
dear. In exchange they have re-
celved only the rationing of their
news, the rationing of their religion,
the rationing of the clothes upon
their backs. and the rationing of the
bread upon their tables.
Our progress must continue to be
a steady and deliberate one-we
cannot stand still, We cannot slip
back. We. must look forward to
certain definite things in the near
future. For example, the benefits
OF social security should be broad
ened and extended; unemployment
insurance should cover a larger
number of workers. Our old-age
pension system must be improved
and extended; the amount of the
pension should be increased, and,
above all, these pensions must be
given in manner which will respect
the dignity of the life of service ant,
labor which our aged citizens have
given to the Nation.
1t is my hope that soon the United
States will have a national system
/ under which no needy man or
woman within our borders will lack
a minimum old-age pension which
will provide adequate food, clothing
and lodging 10 the end of the road
without having to go to the poor
house TO get it. And I look forward
to a system which, in addition to

No Room in Movement
For Racketeers.

No Room in Movement
For Racketeers.
Labor knows that there is no room
in the labor movement for the
racketeer or the strong-arm man.
Government is determined to help
labor unions clean their house of
those few persons who have be-
trayed them.
In this great crisis has come proof
that organized labor, as well as all
other groups of our citizens, is aware
of its own responsibilities. I have
called on representatives of labor
to serve, and have placed them in
responsible positions to take part
in the defense work of their Govern
ment. From the very start, repre-
sentatives of labor, including your
own distinguished President, have
shared in formulating and admin
istering the program.
I am particularly glad to be able
to say that the A. F. L., the C. I. O.,
and the Railroad Brotherhoods are
all Loyalty cooperating in this effort
with the National Defense Com
mission and with the Army and
Navy. The cooperation in the tasa
of national defense will, I hope,
encourage closer and more friendly

relations between these great labor
organizations.
know that America will never be
disappointed in its expectation that
labor will always continue to do It's
share Of the job we now face, patri-
otically and unselfishly.
In our search for national unity
as the basis of national defense, II
Is necessary and it is fair that every
human being in the United States
contribute his share. This applies
both to those who train in the hght-
ing forces and to the forces OF
workers behind the lines.
Fair That Capital
Contribute Its Share.
1t is equally necessary and fair
that every dollar of capital in
| America also contribute its share.
Just so long as we continue to call
upon men to train for combat, and
for service behind the lines, will we
also continue to call upon the in
dustrial plants of the Nation for
the service which they can give.
Capital and industry as we'll as
labor and agriculture are respond
ing, and know will continue to re-
spond.
The Nation, through its elected
representatives mot just the Presi-
dent alone, but the Senate and House
of Representatives. is now adopting

Cause Of Labor Travelled
Over Difficult Road.

The cause of labor has travelled
forward since those days, over a
road beset with difficulties, both
from within its membership and
from without. Your own organiza-
ton is an outstanding example of
the progress which has been made.
BY 1893 dt seems almost like ancient
history to mel your membership had
dropped to 10000. Within the last
seven years you have grown to
membership of 100000.
In those same seven years Or
ganized labor as a whole has be-
come stronger in membership, in
influence, and in its capacity to
serve the interests CT the laboring
man and woman and of society in
general, than at any other time In
our history. Much of this progress
has been due to the one thing which
this administration, from the very
beginning, has insisted upon-the
assurance to labor of the untram-
meled right to organize and to bar
gain collectively with their employ
ers. That principle has now become
firmly imbedded in the law OF the
land; it must remain as the founda-
ton of industrial relations for all
times.
The principle has the support to-
day not only Of organized labor as
a whole, but also of hundreds of
thousands of decent, practical, for
ward-looking employers. A decade
ago a minority of employers were
willing to accept the principle of
collective bargaining; today the ma
jority of employers gladly adopt it.
And with that foundation, the
last seven years have seen series
of laws enacted to give to labor a
fair share of the good life to which
free men and women in free ma
ton are entitled as a matter Of
right. Fair minimum wages are
being established for workers in
industry; decent maximum hours
and days of labor have been set, to
bring about an American standard
of living and recreation: child labor
has been outlawed in practically all
factories; a system of employment
exchanges has been created; ma
chinery has been set up and
strengthened and successfully used
for the mediation of labor disputes.
Over them all has been created a
shelter of social security--a founda-
ton upon which is being built pro-
lection from the hazards Of old age
and unemployment.
Progress Was Beset
By Bitter Propaganda.
This progress of the last seven
years has been difficult. 1t has been
beset by obstruction and by bitter
propaganda from certain minority
groups in the community who had
been accustomed for too many years
to the exploitation of the great mass
of people who worked for them. II
was the same type of opposition to
which I had become accustomed
during my entire public career, dat
ing back to my first election to the
Senate of the State of New York
80 years ago this autumn, continu-
ing through my service for nearly
eight years as Assistant Secretary
tof the Navy, and my service during
lfour years as Governor of the lar
'gest labor employing State in the
Union.
You will remember that kind oi
opposition in the campaign Of foul

training Of its young men. On the
same principle, no reasonable per-
son can object to giving the Gov
ernment the power to acquire the
services of any plant or factory fer
adequate compensation, If the
owner refuses to make its services
available to the defense needs of
the Nation. This is nothing new
in American life. The principle of
eminent domain or eminent use is
as old as democratic government it
self. 1t merely permits Government
to acquire or to use, for a fair and
reasonable price, any property
which is necessary for its proper
functioning.
The overwhelming majority of our
munitions and other defense re-
quirements are now manufactured
by private enterprise under private
management. We continue that
process. 1t is only in the rare, iso-
lated case that the owner of a
plant will refuse to deal with his
government In q fair way,
Evening star., 1940-09-12
Breakdown Of Legislation
Would Weaken Defense.

7 am convinced that a breakdown
of existing labor and social legisla-
ton would weaken rather than in
crease our efforts for defense. Con-
tinuance of them means the pres
ervation of the efficiency of labor
1t means the return to work of sew
eral millions still unemployed.
The employment of additional
workers and the provisions for over
time payments for overtime work will
insure adequate working hours at
decent wages to do all that is now
necessary in physical defense. We
will not overlook the lesson learned
in Europe in past years.
At times, internal obstacles to the
growth of labor unions have come
in those rare instances where the
occasional scoundrel-it's a good. old
fashioned Word-haS appeared in
position of leadership. Labor unions
are not the only organizations
which have to suffer innocently
for the crimes and misdeeds of one
or two of their selfish and guilty
members. The rule applies to all
organizations, to all trades and pro-
fessions alike, including the profess
sion of law to which I belong
I cannot add to the terms of con-
demnation which your President. my
old friend Dan Tobin, included in
his report to your convention in
which he said:
1t is indeed pitiful and
heartbreaking and seriously de-
pressing to find that amongst our
enormous membership, composed
of clean men, fathers of families,
Americans of the purest type
to find amongst this membership
some creatures SO bereft of
Evening star., 1940-09-12

| this bare minimum, will enable
those who have faithfully toiled in
any occupation to build up addi-
tional security for their old age
which will allow them to live in
comfort and happiness.
People Must Decide
Whether to Continue.
The people must decide whether
to continue the type of govern
ment which has fostered the
progress to date, or whether to turn
it over to those who, by their action
if not always by their word, have
shown their fundamental opposi-
ton to the main objectives toward
which we have worked in the past
and to which we are definitely COM
mitted for the future.
There are some who would not only
stop now the progress we are max
ing in social and labor legislation,
but would even repeal what has been
enacted during the past seven years
all on the plea that an adequate
national defense requires it. They
would seek unlimited hours of labor.
They would seek lower wages. They
would seek the cancellation of those
safeguards for which we have all
struggled so long.
I still believe, however, as I did
when said on May 26 last: 1--WE
must make sure in all that we dC
that there be no breakdown or can
collation. of any of the great social
gains which we have made in these
past years . There is nothing in
our present emergency to justify a
retreat from any of our social OBJ
iectives-conservation of resources

and help to the underprivileged."
Our mighty national defense effort

threats cannot be measured alone in
