chosen president Of the chamber.
Some political observers expressed
fear the unparalleled controversy
might end In bloodshed, but Presi-
dent Cardenas, In his speech yester-
day. indicated confidence the situa-
ton was in hand.
Speaking of the electoral situation,
President Cardenas said:
"Some elements, arrogating to
themselves functions of municipal
and state legislative authorities, and
of the Congressional Installation
Committee. tried to attribute to
themselves by their own actions tri-
umphs in the elections, forgetting
that popular sovereignty is exercised
through means indicated by consti-
tutional norms."
There were loud cheers:
1.-THE army has complied with its
duty in the past, and will comply
equally in the present and the flu
ture," the President continued.
The election, he declared, except
for "a few lamentable incidents re-
sulting from overlooking political
passion, was carried out legally"
He expressed his confidence that
there was no possibility of any sub
versive violence which could endan-
ger the peace of the nation"

On Busis Of Good Will and Cancellation

manent solution for unemploy-
ment-"
Agrees With A. F. L. Views.
The A. F. of L. Council goes
further and frankly states:
"A political and economic state of
mind should be created which will
enable all financiers and the own
ers and managers of industry to
face the future with confidence,
willing to risk the expenditure of
funds for the development of indus
trial enterprises and in the manu-
facture and sale of manufactured
products. Whatever stands in the
way, whatever barrier may have
been created, ought to be broken
down so that our industrial proc
eSses may function in a proper
way. And unemployment may thus
be overcome. We believe that pri-
vate initiative, private investment
and private endeavor and private
industry should be encouraged and
supported. We assert that those
who invest in private industry
should earn fair return upon such
investment, and that labor should
be paid a wage which would accord
to all workers and their families
an opportunity to live in all decency
and comfort"
No better statement of my own
views could possibly be made. On
this Labor Day I pledge, if elected
President, to enlist the wholeheart-
ed cooperation of labor, industry,
agriculture and every other group
in the task of overcoming our pres
ent economic stagnation and wiping
out unemployment. The enlightened
view that many of our modern labor
leaders are taking toward our eco
nomic problem as a whole will be of
great assistance to me in fulfilling
this pledge. AS Philip Murray and
Morris L. Cooke said in organized
Labor and Production:
Labor's Need.
1--WE need labor organizations that
will not merely advance the i'm
mediate interests of particular
groups of labor. but will regard the
interests Of industry as a whole,
including the workers, and of the
economic system"
I also promise to arrest the
present trend toward placing labor
unions under Government control
The statement of that great labor
leader, Samuel Gompers, What the
Government gives, the Government
can take away" is particularly
pertinent at the present time. We
must rely upon the compulsion of
the law only as a last extremity. I
shall lend every influence to estab-
lish fortnight collective bargaining
between management and men upon
a basis of good will, cancellations,
and economic voluntarism and free
from interference.

WiIIkie Policies Lead
Holt 10 Reconsider
Third-Tefm Fight
Senator Likely to Drop
His Resolution So as Not
To Aid Republicans Cause
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Friends of Senator Holt, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia said today he
probably would drop his proposed
anti-third-term resolution because
of the stand taken by Wendell l..
Willkie on foreign policy and con-
scription.
The West Virginian, who at IS is
the youngest member of the Senate,
was represented as being unwilling
to take any public. action which
might aid Mr.. Wilkes cause, now
that the Republican nominee had
advocated CONSUMPTION and aid for
Great Britain.
Senator Holt, who was defeated
for denomination in the West Vir-
GINA primary, had announced ear
lier his intention of submitting to
the Senate a resolution Identical
tn that adopted in 1928, the last
year of the Coolidge administration.
Sixteen Democrats now in the Sem
ate voted for the 1928 expression of
opposition to a third term for any
President.
Burke Sets Hearings.
Senator Hollis position made 1t
likely that the major congressional
forum for third-term discussion
would be hearings on a conStitu-
tional amendment by Senator Burke,
Democrat, of Nebraska to provide a
single presidential term of six years.
Senator Burke, chairman of a
judiciary subcommittee considering
the legislation, set Wednesday as the
tentative date for the start of the
hearings.
He said a large number of wit
nesses already had requested an OPP
portunity to testify, and forecast
that both advocates and opponents
Of third term would appear.
Senator Burke has announced his
support of Mr.. Willkie.
Bridges Accuses President.
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire, accused President
Roosevelt yesterday of engaging in
a cheap publicity stunt to make
political capital out of national de-
fense," and Senator Lucas, Demo-
crat, of Illinois said Mr.. Willkie had
demonstrated lack of knowledge
Of Government affairs.
In a prepared statement Senator
Bridges said the President was in
specting various defense establish
ments for two political reasons:
l. To divert attention from "the
collapse of his domestic program
due to his own incompetent lead
ership."
2. To give him an alibi for run
ming away from free and fair dis
cussion of the issues of this cam
paign with his. opponent, Wendell
Willkie."
Senator Lucas said in a state
ment:
practically every move that Wen
dell Willkie has made since he be-
came the Republican candidate for
President demonstrates his lack of
knowledge and inexperience in af-
fairs of Government.
I'VE hope Mr.. Wlllk1e will con-
tinue to talk. The more he talks
the more the American people will
understand that another Landon is
running for President upon the Re-
publican ticket in 1910"
Senator Lucas statement was is
sued as he left for Chicago to take
charge of Midwestern headquarters
of the Democratic National Com
mittee.

RUSHVILLE, Ind, Sept. 2.-Fol-
lowing Is the Labor Day statement
Of Wendell L. Willkie, Republican
presidential nominee:
For more than 40 years now, the
first Monday in September has been
set aside by congressional act to
honor American labor. The wage
earners in no other land enjoy the
recognition given by Labor Day to
the true status of labor and the
dignity of work.
I had decided not to make a
speech today dealing with labor, in
the belief that it would be more
appropriate to leave this day for
the utterances of labor leaders
themselves. I do wish, however, to
take this occasion to pay tribute to
Labor Day and the American wage
Garner, who has played such a
great part in building up the Amer
lean economic and political system.
In turn, American workers may
well rejoice that in this land four
great freedoms-the right to speak,
to print, to assemble and to wor-
ship God-are written into the Bill
of Rights in response to the judg-
ment from artisans and farmers
century and half ago, and that
in America these freedoms still pre-
vail.
Labor and Dictatorships.
Labor Day should also cause every
friend of American labor to remem-
Der that in the totalitarian dicta-
torships of Europe they have liqui-
dated free trade unions, and have
imprisoned or in some cases, MUIR
dered union leaders. Outside of
America Britain is the only great
country where trade unions still
exist, true to their tradition. The
British workers today are perform
ing a service of greatest value as a
vital partner in the defense Of their
country.
Leon Jouhaux, the French labor
leader, said in his last message to
American workers: "Hitlerism and
free organized labor cannot exist
in the same world" American labor,
realizing this fact, is determined to
do everything to prevent the spread
Of dictatorship in this country. On
February IA, 1899, the Executive
Council of the American Federation
Of Labor issued an important state
ment, as follows:
"As the absorption of the unem-
ployed and the creation of work op-
portunities for all who are able
and willing to work in private in
dustry have ever been a part of the
economic philosophy of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor-we are
firmly convinced that various forms
Of governmental spending, either in
the distribution of relief or in the
development of maintenance and
work projects designed to supplv

serve as temporary measures and
