SHAWNEE, Okla. Oct. 26.-Gov.
John W. Bricker declared today that
the New Deal had "scourged" the
employer and precipitated Glass
hatreds, riots, Strikes and strained
relations. between capital and labor.
The Republican nominee for Vice
President charged that this has put
the brakes on our industrial
progress" q
The Ohio Governor, who entered
Oklahoma after fast, one-day tour
through Texas. pictured the worker
and employer as two wheels on the
same axle"
IF one turns" he added, "the
other turns. II friction slows down
one of them, the progress of the
other is impeded. The job of gov
ernment is to ease the strain and
pull between the two and to en-
courage the forward movement of
both"
Deplores Strife in Industry.
Gov. Bricker said New Dealers
considered business success as the
sign to attack"
While the employer was being
scourged," he continued, the en-
ploye has been encouraged to believe
that his best interests will be pro-
tected by the bureaucrats-thatc con-
f1ict, not concord, is the road to
progress-and that industrial strife
is essential to better working condi-
tions and better living standards.
AS result, he maintained, "the
New Deal has almost destroyed fair
collective bargaining and has SUBJ
stituted in its place political bar
gaining detrimental both to en-
ployer and employe"
The Ohioan said he believed that
New Dealers never made a "graver
blunder" than to treat the interests
of employer and employe as
separate.
Bad Politics, He Says.
1t even has proved to be bad
politics, he continued, because now
that Sidney Hillman chairman OF
the Political Action Committee)
and Earl Browder and the Com
munists generally are sitting in the
drivers seat of the New Deal, labor
ing people everywhere know that
they are being exploited for political
gain
Gov. Bricker declared that because
Of New Deal attacks" on the Amer
lcan patent system, inventions had
declined Al per cent between 1888
and 1943.
He said, too, that a New Deal tax
system "discourages profits" did not
"differentiate between profits that
ought to be taxed and profits that
ought to be used for economic ex-
pansion."
He said the Republicans would set
up system of taxation that will
make it possible for industry to set
aside adequate funds for deprecia-
ton, renewals, repairs and future
reserves"
In a speech last night at Dallas
Gov. Bricker invited Texas Demo.
Gratis, divided over a fourth term
issue, to vote Republican Ito save
the two-party system Of Govern
ment"
Charges Tie-up With PAC.
He contended that the Repub-
licans more closely adhered to the
principles of the historic Democra-
have"
Gov. Bricker declared the Demo-
cratic party had been taken over by
the Political Action Committee and
the Communist Political Association.
AS evidence Of the tie-up, he said,
nine New Deal officer holders" have
left Federal Government positions to
help manage PAC campaign to re-
elect Mr.. Roosevelt.
Among the nine, he related, was
