Racketeer, Communist Must 60

They know that with such freedom, the
workingmen themselves will drive both the
racketeers and the Communists from positions
of power in the labor movement. That is why
the racketeers and Communists are against a
change of administration That is another rea-
son why it's time for change.
The about peacetime effort of your next
administration will be to encourage business,
both large and small, to create jobs and oppor-
tunity. We shall establish conditions which
will make it not only possible but good business
for management to join hands with the great,
free labor movement Of this country in bringing
about full employment at high wages.
Those who come home from the war and
those who have produced for war-all our peo-
pe-have earned future with jobs for all.
Nothing less can be considered victory at home
to match our victory abroad. We must build
just and lasting peace. We must go forward,
a courageous and united people, determined to
make good the limitless promise of America.

Election TO Speed Victory

Today, the first thoughts of all of us are
on the war-the war in Europe and the war in
the Pacific. 1t seems already clear that this
year will see the end of the war in Europe
Then, as we have so long wanted to do, we
shall be able to throw all of our energies and
all of our might into the war in the Pacific
This year, also, we are called upon to hold
a national election Does that mean that there
must be the slightest hesitation in our forward
march to victory?It means exactly the con-
trary
Our military leadership in this war has
been superb have made it plain that cannot
emphasize it too strongly that change in the
national administration next January will
involve no change in the military leadership of

Political Ex+or+ion Doomed

do believe the American people when they
go into the secrecy of the voting booth will in
sist on government by law and not by special
favor and political extortion.
i propose that we shall have government
by law after JAM 20, 1915. Here is the first
thing to be done. We must have, from the
ranks of labor. an active. able secretary Of the
department of labor.
Second. the functions of the department Of
labor must be put back into the department Of
labor 1t will not be necessary for the working
men and women of America to knock on door
after door and sit in waiting room after waiting
room to find out what their rights are.
Third, we shall abolish many of these
wasteful, competing bureaus filled with men
quarrelling for jurisdiction while American
citizens stand and wait. We shall put their
powers and their duties into the one place where
they belong in the department of labor.

Delay Serves Only New Deal

Now VINO gains by this planned confusion?
The workers don't gain. The public is always in
the middle The war effort has been constantly
hampered. Who does gain? There can be no
doubt of the answer. This policy of delay, delay
and more delay, serves only the New Deal and
its political ends. 1t puts the leaders of labor
on the spot 1t makes them come hat in hand
to the White House.
1t makes political loyalty the test of a man
getting his rights. Personal government instead
of government by law? Politics instead of JUS
tice prevails in the labor field in this country
and / am against that kind of administration
and always will be.
This strategy of delay sets the stage for
great gesture-a big favor to labor before elec-
ton day-a gesture carefully designed to make
labor believe that something it is justly entitled
to is special gift from on high from the New
Deal.
l refuse to believe that workers in this
country will play the role of supplicants to any
throne. l refuse to believe that any man or
group of men can deliver any section of our
people by holding the power of government
over their heads as a club.

This towering confusion of agencies has
marked a serious backward step for the work
ing people of the country. A Republican, Presi-
dent Taft, was the first to recognize that labors
problems were of cabinet Importance. Under
him the Department of Labor was created.
That new department was soundly admins
tered under four national administrations.

Department of Labor a Farce

Neither labor nor the nation had any
quarrel with it's operation. But for II straight
years of New Deal bungling the Department of
Labor has been left in the hands Of an estim-
able lady who has been Secretary of Labor in
name only
For all practical purposes we have neither
a Secretary of Labor nor a Department of
Labor today. We need a Secretary of Labor.
We need Department of Labor. Twelve years
is too long to go without them. Sixteen years
would be intolerable.
Let me give you concrete example of
what has been going on in every part of the
country. A while ago an election was held to
decide the collective bargaining agency in an
important industry engaged wholly in critical
wartime production.
