Mellde-faatener” Induetrlee In thle
elate. Waterbnrr le particularly
Intonated In this meaeure aa the
meet vigorous proteeta have orig
inated hare. The oengress In hto
addreee defended elvll and relig
ious llbertlea and aaaalled pawing
evidence of Intoleranee In varlona
parte of the world.
The congressman spoke in part
aa followa:
Civil and rellgloua llbertlea are
fundamental rlghta and not glfte
to the people from any govern
ment or privileged claaa. I have
on numeroua occasion* denounced
the violation of those fundamental
human rlghta which are set out
In the Bill of Rlghta of our Con
atltutlon.
On many occasions I have pro
tested, by Introducing resolutions
and by speeches .against religious
and racial persecution, no matter
where It exists, in Mexico, Ger
many, or elsewhere. I believe that
the voice of the people of this
country should be expressed in
such matters through the proper
officials. That we must also seal
ously guard all of the priceless
liberties of our own citlsens Is an
axiom of my political philosophy.
Intolerance
And at all times must wo be
consclons of the danger of tho
spread of Intolerance which finds
expression In mob violence and
lynching*. I have, therefore, ac
tively supported the antilynching
legislation In congress,
I have advocated that In tlmo
of war for the defense of our lib
erties there should be a conscrip
tion of wealth, as well as of men.
When we were considering the
tho McSwaln bill to prevent war
profiteering, a national policy with
which I am In complete sympathy,
I introduced an amendment to
exempt the press from the licens
ing provisions, lest our seal to
prosecute a war might cause us to
forget the importance of a free
press. My amendment was
adopted.

and voted for old-ago security
and unemployment Insurance leg
lalatlon. It la true that wo have
not provided completo protection
for tho aged and unemployed. But
we have made a start, and as wo
learn by experience we will be able
to extend and modernise pension
and unemployment compensation
laws In this country.
Rights of Labor
Our statutes now rocognlse ths
fundamental rights of labor to
bargain collectively through repre
sentatives of Its own choosing.
I favored the Wagner-Connery
labor disputes adjustment bill be
cause It recognises the equal rights
of tho laborer and the employer
to adjust their differences by ne
gotiation and Is, therefore, bene
ficial to both.
Borne of the most progressive
legislation of this session of con
gress come out of the House of
Judiciary Committee, of which
I have the honor to be a member.
This committee approved, and
congress passed, the law prohibit
ing the interstate shipment of
armed guards to Interfere with
peaceful picketing.
Wo have thus abolished a no
torious system whereby a few
racketeers were making money by
shipping armed thugs around tho
country to cause disorder and
riots.
I introduced a bill to prohibit
the government from contracting
for supplies from manufac
turers who employ child or con
vtM. Ithfir
Child Labor
Tho Judiciary committee fin
ally selected the best provisions
of this and similar bills and In
corporated them In the Healey
Oovernment contract bill, which
requires contractors with the
government to covenant that they
they do not employ child or con
vict labor, use sweatshop methods,
or employ workers over 40 hours
por week or 8 hours per day with
out paying them for such overtime,
utilize the Indecent “kickback''
system, or exploit labor by paying
less than the prevailing rate of
wages in the community.
It Is a bill which protects the
manufacturers of Connecticut,
Including those In the textile In
dustry, against unfair competition
and low wage and labor standards
In other sections.
I have advocated decent wages
for labor and the Inherent right of
cltlsens to obtain work and to
receive adequate remuneration to
maintain themselves and their
families.
That Is why I proposed, when
the Merchant Marine Act was be
Ing considered on June 25, 1035, a
prevailing wage rate amendment
for workers engaged In shipbuild
ing. The amendment was adopted,

On March 30, 1036, I proposed

the Constitution to permit the
President to veto any Item In a
budget or In an appropriation bill.
Too often pork-barrel "riders"
are attached to such measures,
which the President Is now power
less to eliminate since to veto one
Item the whole bill must be vetoed.
To protect the New England
Textile Industry from extinction,
I Introduced, on March 4, 193ft, a
bill <H.R. 6731) to create a com
mission to study the textile sit
uation.
Later the Presdcnt appointed a
special cabinet committee to study
this vitally Important matter.
In some states there Is legisla
tion providing for higher labor
standards; in other states there
Is none. The textile industry Is
Interstate In scope.
It is therefore a national prob
lem, which should be met with na
tional legislation. Ono or two
states cannot meet the problem
alone.
When my attention was called
to the dumping of Japanese and
other Foreign goods Into our
country, in unfair competition
with our own goods, I protested.
On May 39, 1930, the secretary
of state advised me that the pres
ident, upon recommendation of
the United States Tarrlff Com
mission, had raised certain duties
approximately 43 percent.
Nunn Fasteners
On May 8, 1036, I took up with
tho Htnlr department and tho
United Staten Tariff Commission
the "dumping" of elide fasteners
Into our country and was instru
mental In having our administra
tion etop this unfair practlco also
by Increasing the rato of duty,
Immediately after 1 came to
Congress, on Jan, 39, 1936, 1 In
troduced II. R. 4979, a bill au
thorising $60,000,000 for a com
prehensive plan of flood control
of the Connecticut River and the
Incidental use of dams to generate
cheaper electricity In order to
help pay tho cost of flood con
trol.
The bill did not constitute Fed
eral Interference but provided
for Federal cooperation with the
states Involved,
This was in the early part of
1036, when no one expected a
disastrous flood such as occurred
In the spring of 1936.
On Auguse 13, 1036, I Intro
duced another bill, permitting
the New England States to make
compacts for flood control, elim
ination of pollution, and other Im
provements, such as reforestation
and the prevention of noli erosion.
Under the Constitution, con
gressional sanction is necessary
for State compacts or treaties.
This bill was passed by Con
gress and enacted Into law on
June 8, 1936.
Approve Agreements
Already It has stimulated the
New England States to assemble
their representatives and to make
preparatory arrangement for such
asreements.
It permit* them to proceed with
a program for flood control and
elimination of pollution, and it
provides for protecting local tra
ditions and state rights, becauso
each state legislature must rati
fy these agreements.
The federal government has
already spent hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in preliminary
surveys In the Connecticut River
drainage area. It will spend hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to
keep all these studies and prepa
rations for the building of dams
and dykes.
The matter now is practically In
the hands of the states to fur
nish the federal government with
land. When the New England
States furnish the land the fed
eral government will spend Im
mediately $10,00,000 to erect 10
large dams.
This Is merely the Initial pro
ject or beginning. It will make
the Connecticut River reasonably
safe from floods, but ultimately It
Is believed that more than 30
dams will have to be built, and
the federal government will spend
at $40,000,000.
Legislation, of course, will be
necessary by the states to appro
priate the necessary capital for
the lands.
