THE PULMBS 0 LABOR
The labor plank of the Republican
nlatform reads as follows:
There are tv.o different conceptions of
tbe relations of capital and labor The
one Is contractual and emphasizes tbe di
versity of Interests of employer and em
ploye, jne oioer is mat vi vw jjtm-
.Mn In n Nimmnn fsalC-
W'e recognise tbe Justice of collective
bargaining: as a means oi prouMuuiR twu
will, establishing doner and more bar-
nwinlntia MItlnns between eiUDlOTCr Shd
employes and realizing tbe true end of
Industrial Justice.
Tbe strike or the lockout, as a means of
settling Industrial disputes, inniru sucu
loss and snfferlnz on tbe community as to
juatlfy governmental Initiative to reduce
lta frequency ana iinsi its coowiutrum..
We deny the right to strike against tbe
government, but tbe rlghta and luterests
oi an gOTemmrut employes iuum tie eaiir-
guarded by Impartial laws and trlbunlty.
In nnblle utilities we favor tbe estab
lishment of an impartial tribunal to make
an Investigation of tbe facts and to render
a derision, to the end that there may be no
organized Interruption of the service to
tbe lives and heattb and welfare of tbe
people, tbe decisions of the tribunal to be
morally but not legally binding, and an
Informed public sentiment be relied on to
secure tbeir acceptance, roe iriDuoai,
however, should refuse to accept Jar's,
diction, exeent for tbe nnrnose of lnvestl
gstlon. aa long as the pnblle service Ik
Interrupted For public utilities we favor
tbe type of tribunal provided for in tbe
transportation act oi yjja.
In private Industries we do not advo
cate tbe principle of compulsory arhltra
tlon. but we favor Impartial commissions
and better facilities fur voluntary media
tlon. conciliation and arbitration, supple
mented by that foil publicity which will
enlist the Influence of an aroused public
opinion. Tbe government should take the
initiative In Inviting the establishment of
trlbunsls or commissions for tbe pur
pose of voluntary arbitration and Invest!
gitlon of this issue
We demand the exclusion from Inter
state remmerce of the products of con
vlct labor
The following Is the Democratic
platform on the same subject:
Tpe Democratic party Is hot, as ever,
the firm friend of honest labr aud tbt
promoter of progressive industry. It es
tabllsbed tbe Department of Iabor at
Washington and a Democrat!. President
raled to bia official council board tbe
first practical working man who ever held
a cabinet portfolio.
Udder thla administration bare been es
tablished employment bureaus to bring
to man and tbe Job together; have been
peaceably determined many bitter dls
jutes between capital and labor: were
pissed tbe Child Labor Act. tbe W orklng-n-an
s Compensation Act (tbe extension of
which we adrocate so as to Include laltor
ers engaged in loading and unloading
ships and In Interstate commerce), tbe
Light Hour Law, tbe act for vocational
training and a code of other wholesome
laws affecting tbe liberties and better
ing tbe conditions of tbe laboring classes.
In the Department of Latsir the Demo
cratic administration established a wom
an s bureau, which a Republican Congress
destroyed by withholding appropriations
Labor Is not a commodity; It Is hu
man Those who labor have rights and
the national security and safety deiend
upon a Just recognition of tboe rights
aud the conservation of tbe strength of
the workers and tbelr families In the in
terest of sound hearted and sound beaded
men, women and children. Laws regulat
lrc hours of Hbor antT conditions under
which labor Is i-erformed, when passed In
recognition of tie conditions under which
life must be liieil to attain tbe highest
development aud happiness, are Just as
sertions of tbe national Interest In tbe
welfare of tbe people
At the same time, the Nation dependa
upon tbe products of lalior; a cessation
of production means loss and. It long
continued, disaster The whole people,
therefore, have a right to Insist that Justice
tball be done to those who work, and. In
turn, that those whose labor creates tbe
necessities upon which tbe life of the Na
tion depends must recognize tbe reciprocal
siMlgatlon between tbe worker and tbe
state They should participate In tbe for
mulation of sound laws and regulations
governing the conditions under which la
bor is performed, recognized and obey the
laws so formulated and seek their amend
ment when necessary by the processes or
dinarily addressed to tbe laws and regula
tions affecting the other relations of life
Labor, as well as capital, la entitled to
adequate compensation. Lacb bas tbe
Indefeasible right of organization, of col
lective bargaining and of speaking through
representatives of their own selection Nei
ther class, bowever. should at any time
nor In any circumstances take action that
will put In Jeopardy the public welfare.
Itesort to strikes and lockouts which en
dsnger tbe health, or lives of tbe people
la an unsausiactory aevice lor iletermln
log disputes, and the Democratic party
pledges Itself to contrive, if possible, and
put into eoective operation a lair and com
prebenslre method of composing differ
ences of this nature.
In private Industrial disputes, we are
opposed to compulsory arbitration as a
method plausible In theory but a failure
In tact. With frespc-rt Do government
service, we hold distinctly that the rights
or tne people are paramount to tbe right
to atrlke However, we -trnfess wrnnn
loua regard for tbe conditions of public
employment and pledge the Democratic
party to Instant inquiry Into the pay of
Kuirrnrapni employees ana equaiir speedy
regulations designed to bring salaries to
i a Just and proper level.
Both planks agree in favoring col
lective bargaining and in opposing
strikes and lockouts, though the Re
publican plank speaks on this point
in stronger terms. They agree in op
posing compulsory arbitration but
they disagree on the question of
strikes by government employes. The
Republican plank is definitely against
them and the Democratic one is sil-
The chief difference between the
two planks Is that the Republican
plank is addressed to the rights of
the public and the Democratic plank
if addressed to the rights of labor.
vision
Vision is the warp on which the
tapestry of civilization is woven. The
woof is made up of deeds held togeth
er in a pattern by the warp-threads,
the visions.
A vision seen by one man, one
group, or one nation, is another
thread added to the warp. It permits
the weaving of a greater, sometimes
a more complicated, pattern a great
er tapestry.
Tenuous visions are the flimsy
threads which break under the
THE
weight of tbe woof-threads of deeds
as they are woven in. Tbe weaving
Is snarled until the faulty warp-thread
of Tlsion and the fouled woof-thread
of deeds is raveled out. The visions
that break cause the lost labor of man
kind. They break the weavers
hearts. '
Distorted visions are the woof
threads which distort and make ugly
the pattern that is, if the weavers
do not reject the thread. Once the
threads of deeds have been twisted
under and oter the distorted vision
warp-thread, the beauty of the tapes,
try is lessened. Only good visions,
rightly caught Into the woof of fu
ture deeds, can atone for the lapse
from beauty.
Strong visions, conceived entire or
made full by straight thinking, when
added to the warp of old visions, In
ite careful, painstaking work bj the
weavers . They select the best deeds
for the woof-thread. The weavers,
knowing that their work is good, that
It shall never be raveled, work to the
pattern, now and then adding to its
beauty.
Without -.isions the weavers are
idle. No woof-thread is used . What
is already made is snarled and quick
ly mildews to rottenness. Tbe tapes
try of civilization swings in the winds
of the years unfinished with its raw
edge whipping out the threads, both
of warp and woof.
GIe us then, strong visions. Give
in them that the weaving of the work
ers ma never be revealed, that the
beauty of the pattern may be as sym
metrical as the curved masses of a
cloud in a summer sky, that the wea
vers may be happy in their work
the tapestry of civilization which is to
tang against tbe wall of the world
for all time as they have woven iL

Qffe NEW EDISON
Are your children to know more of music than past generations of
Americans? If so, what musical education have you planned for
them? Perhaps your youngsters are to develop their vocal or in
strumental talent. At least you want them to enjoy amusical atmos
phere in their home. In either case, can your home afford to be
j , without the NEW EDISON?
The NEW EDISON detelops in--the child, loe and appreciation of mtisic
It contributes to the culture of jour children. It enables jou to detect signs
of musical talent, if such talent exists.
Ask jour music teacher about the value of the NEW EDISON. The New
Edison alone is qualified to impress upon the sensitive child-mind an ap
preciation of music in its purest, highest forms. The NEW EDISON alone
has proved that no difference exists between its RE-CREATION of an
artist's art and that artist's original art.
You can't begin too early with the musical education of jour children. Get
jour NEW EDISON at once. Never mind about the price, because we let
jou arrange the payments to meet your own conenience.
