By & Stafl Correspondent ot The Star. WARRENTON, Va, October 28.— Robert C. Winmill, prominent New York and Warrenton broker, was to be removed to a private sanitarfum in New York today following an accident yesterday in which he received a frac- tured collar bone and two broken ribs. He was attempting to take a horse over a jump on his estate near here. ‘Winmill, who is well known in Wash- ington society circles, was taken to the Fauquier Counuty Hospital for emerg- ency treatment. He was to be driven to the Capital today, however, and placed aboard a train for New York so that he may be under the care of his own physician, Employes at Clovelly, his estate on the Spring road, sald that Winmill was hacking a horse near the house when he wheeled his mount and tore toward a nearby jump. The animal crashed into the obstacle, fell and struck the rider with its hoofs. ‘Winmill, a member of the firm of Gude-Winmill & Co., New York bank- ers and brokers, who also have a War- renton office, was brought to the local hospital by employes on his estate and was treated by Dr. George H. Davis. X-rays revealed the frac- tures, The injured man had come to Warrenton to enjoy the fox hunting season. He is an enthusiastic mem- ber of the Warrenton Hunt. His wife is a member of the same organ- ization and also is one of Virginia's most successful horse show exhibi- tors. The mishap is the fifth that has occurred here in as many weeks. Miss Phyllis Tuckerman, Mrs. E. Kenneth Jenkins, Miss Lucy Spill- man and Mrs. Paul Abbott have been hurt while hunting, riding or driving horses’ since October 3. Miss Tuckerman was injured in the hunt fleld when thrown by her mount and was taken to Emergency Hospital in Washington. She’'was a week end guest at the Winmill es- tate.

The three States hold more than one-third of the 266 necessary for election. The Pittsburgh crowd that over- flowed 10,100 Duquesne Garden seats booed repeatedly when Landon as- sailed Postmaster General James A. Farley as having created “a vast army of political mercenaries” and asserted President Roosevelt “has abandoned his own principles.” As he enumerated and discussed New Deal activities, Landon con- cluded each declaration with a cheer- provoking “this is not good govern- ment.” The Governor said Mr. Roosevelt had indorsed the merit system and quoted both the President and Post- master General, smiling as the crowd responded with loud booing. 3 “The patronage has tripled under the President and his Postmaster General,” the candidate said. “This is a direct violation of the Presi- dent’s promises. This is not good government.” Hits Emergency Excuse. “The now threadbare excuse of emergency does not hold water,” Lan- don continued, saying that the Wilson administration “actually increased the percentage of those under the merit system during one of the great- est emergencies we ever faced—the ‘war.” “Government employes have been forced into the ranks of a national political machine, headed by the President and his Postmaster General —a machine organized by the Presi- dent’s Campaign Committee, sup- ported off the public pay rolls, and controlled by the President’s power of appointment and removal,” Landon declared. *The Republican party is opposed to powers and policies that could be used by any one to shackle the liberties of the people or enslave the people.” Standing and waving flags, the shouting and cheering crowd stopped the speaker for a full minute. Again, as he shouted, “we are feel- ing the yoke of a government of spoils- men, by spoilsmen and for spollsmen,” there was applause and boos. Landon asserted the New Deal wen “hog-wild in adding new " creating “75 new alphabetical what- nots”—a term that brought laughter from his hearers. - - ‘Misresding his prepared address, the nominee said the Federal pay roll was increased $500,000, for “this po< litical army * * * twice as big as regular Army,” 3 Correcting himself, Landon ssid the sum was $500,000,000 and added, “I get Jost with this administration.

Text of Landon’s Speech Carididate Pledges Protection of Labor and Says Right to Organize Should Be Encouraged. Br the Associated Press. NEWARK, N. J., October 28.—Text of Gov. Alf M. Landon’s speech here today: Labor has fairly won many vic- tories in this country. Its great- est triumph has been won not on the field of battle but in the stronghold of public opinion. ‘The greatest victory of labor, in my opinion, has been to bring about the general recognition of an important principle. It is that national prosperity depends on labor's receiving an increasing share of the value of everything we produce. The truth of this principle is today accepted by the man who hires as well as by the man who toils. It is the founda- tion of Increased production, greater national wealth, higher average purchasing power, and a larger measure of happiness for every one. Organized labor has been the natural champion of this prine ciple. The father of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, Samuel Gompers, was one of its first sponsors. As early as 1899, he de- clared: “I believe that as time goes on, the wage earners will continue to become larger sharers per dollar of the wealth produced. I have no fear as to the future of organized labor.” Since then America has grown, and the organized labor movement has grown along with the Nation. Position Is Recognized. ‘That conviction of Mr. Gom- pers has become the conviction of every progressive citizen of this country. The’ capitalist who em- ploys labor knows that ultimately the success of his enterprise de- pends on more widely distributed purchasing power. The banker who furnishes credit to the indus- trialist recognizes that higher wages, shorter hours and a con- stantly rising standard of living create a greater demand for the output of his client. Organized Iabor has become part and parcel of the framework of this democratic Nation. The labor union, as public opinion rec- ognizes, is an instrument of eco- nomic progress and national well being. The day when the owner of a business knew personally every man in his employ and often his family is virtually gone with the development of vast in- dustrial units. With this rapid growth of large enterprises it is only logical that an instrument like collective bargaining should have been developed for a closer understanding between manage- ment and men. I would like the workers of America, whether they are organ- ized or unorganized, to under- stand clearly that their problems are familiar to me, that I myself have worked with my own hands, that I have earned wages and that I am in deep sympathy with the point of view of the working men ‘and the working women and eager to co-operate with them. Court Recognizes Right. For many years I have believed in the necessity for organization as & means of advancing the for- tunes of the individual worker, raising his standard of living and giving him the position in the world to which he is entitled. It is & fact that the Supreme Court of the United States recognizes the right of organized labor through peaceful methods to extend or- ganization to labor that is umor- ganized, that it recognizes the right to peaceful picketing, and gener- ally that the law is on the side of those who as workers are eager to promote their own fortunes and those of their fellow workers in the same or other industries. 1t is an old story that labor has the right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives Mr. Gompers’ great success in the cause of organized labor lay in his genius in recognizing that the situation of the workingman in this country is different from that of labor in the Old World. In most European nations labor has become a class apart. In America Imbor always has been merged in the Nation as a whole. Labor in this country has pro- gressed by following the Gompers policy of keeping free from en- tanglement with any political group. That policy more than anything else is responsible for the steady advance it has made. In the United States real wages have constantly increased, but at the same time labor has retained its freedom. More than that, it has won general recognition of its right to freedom of action. Vote Cannot Be Delivered. We are witnessing in this coune try today an effort to introduce into the camp of American labor the European system of political alliances which invariably victim izes labor. In trying times leaders always arise who claim they can deliver the labor vote to one politi- cal camp or the other. Back in 1904 even Mr. Gompers himself was ac- cused of belonging to this class. ‘The cry was raised: “Gompers has promised to deliver the labor vote.” Years later, when writing the story of his life, he made reply, I quote: “I knew full well that I could not deliver the labor vote nor did I make any such promise or pretense. It was simply absurd for any one to charge that I had in mind either the desire or the will or the ability to deliver the labor vote. “To meet that unjust criticism and attack I frequently declared upon the public platiorm as well as in conferences and writings that I had not the power to deliver the vote of any man. The only vote which I controlled yas my own.” Mr. Gompers spoke truly. No one can deliver the labor vote of Amer- jca to any one political party. No one can deliver the farm vote of America to any one political party. No one can deliver any other class vote in America to any one political party. Why? Because there are no classes in America. We are one nation and one people. We are & nation of individuals and of free men. As free men we may differ in our opinions on national affairs. But we are one people, however much we may differ. Sowing Seed of Destruction. That is the unique feature of our American system. Any one who claims to be able to deliver or strives to deliver any part of the American people to a political master is betraying the creed of America. Such a person is sowing the seeds of destruction for all of us. He threatens to destroy the one classless nation in a world divided by class hatred and over- shadowed by the tregedy of dis- union. Let us stand in the future, as in the past, a united people, a united Nation! Now, in conclusion, I want to discuss another matter of deep concern to labor. I have been frankly exposing the inadequacies, the inequalities, the dangers, and the disappoint- ments inherent in the compulsory insurance programs of the New Deal. At the same time I have been offering in its stead a prac- tical and a constructive -program of real security. The present administration claims that the burdens of ‘the social se- curity act fall mainly upon the employers. The real facts are that they fall almost entirely on the workers. They must pay twice; once directly when the tax is de- ducted from their pay epvelopes in increasing amounts until it reaches 3 cent. They must pay again indirectly in reduced employment, ‘Thigher prices or lower wages. These inevitably must result from the 6 per cent pay roll taxes on their £ i BERg-RER E};?E LANDON AT RALLY Kansan Has Sold Himself to Du Ponts, He Tells Crowd of 21,000. BY the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 28.—John L. Lewis, president of the Upited Mine Workers, coupled a denunciation of Gov. Alfred M. Landon at an Ameri- can Labor party rally yesterday with the challenge: “This meeting demonstrates that labor is organizing politically. It is time for labor to organize. There is danger ahead.” An audience that jammed Madison Square Garden to its 21,000 capacity was augmented by outside crowds, es- timated by police at more than 8,000, who heard Lewis, Senator Robert Wagner, Gov. Werbert Lehman snd other political leaders through am- plifiers. The American Labor party is sup- | porting President Roosevelt and Gov. Lehman in the State during this cam- paign, but bas announced it will seek 1940. “Landon,” said Lewis, “is the most dangerous and weak man in all Amer- ica. He has sold himself to lords and masters * * * the du Ponts. Landon sold himself to these emperors just as much as any man in history.” The chairman of the Committee for Industrial Organization, Lewis charged that “the condidate of the Republi- can party, speaking at Indianapolis a few days ago, enunciated the policy of his political party in a manner that has left the American people intellectually dazed. “To me Landon is just as empty, as inane, as innocuous as a water- melon that has been boiled in & wash tub,” Lewis said. In Pennsylvania, Lewis said, “people heretofore Republicans are joining the ranks of labor to elect as Chief Ex- ecutive one of our greatest Americans, President Roosevelt.” Gov. Lehman, after a five-minute ovation, pledged he would “continue to fight for progressive legislation.” Fusionist Mayor P. H. Laguardia called for a three-fold campaign for uniform child labor laws, old age| pensions and unemployment insur- ance, | David Dubinsky, president of the | International Ladies’ Garment Work- | ers’ Union, and one of the American Labor party electors, also appearing on the Democratic ballot, assailed | Republicans with: “If you left it to | Wall Street and Republicans, they would just go on letting millions starve, thousands of factories remain | | shut down and, if hunger riots were | | to break out in the cities and in the country districts, they believed they | could use the Army and the militia.” | FARLEY HITS LANDON CIVIL SERVICE STAND Says Little Could Be Expected if | Measured by Accomplish- ments in Kansas. | By the Associated Press.

The plain | truth of the matter is that the workers | to be these deductions from their pay | envelopes and they do not relish the idea. | Democrats Present Views. Democratic leaders say that labor in Rhode Island indorsed the social security act; that it understood that it was to put up a very small amount | of its earnings for old-age pensions | and unemployment insurance, and that being the case, they see no | reason why the voters should now be | | aroused against Roosevelt on this | issue. They may be correct. But the interviews with the workers now being | published daily are causing these | leaders anxious moments. | Roosevelt carried this State four years ago by 31,000 votes over Hoover. Of the total voie in the State, 202,000 were cast in Providence, and 57,000 in the other four counties. Hoover | had a margin of 3,000 votes outside | of Providence, and Providence came through with a 34,000 lead for Roose- | velt. The problem for the Republicans is to cut down the Democratic majority in Providence. If they can hold it to- 10,000 or 15,000, they may yet win the State. Two comparatively recent | elections have buoyed Republican hopes. A year ago last August, the first congressional district held an | election to fill a vacancy in the House. To the amazement of all the poli- ticians, including the Republicans, Risk, the G. O. P. candidate, won. He not only won, but had more than 12,- 000 votes lead over his Democratic | The Republican victory | was big news all over the country. An | industrial district in Rhode Island, including part of Providence, had | turned the New Deal down flat. The Republicans hailed it as a forerunner | of a wave which was to break the back of the New Deal in 1936. | The second election took place last March when the Democrats sought to put through a proposal to amend the State constitution so as to do away with the so-called rotten borough sys- tem, under which each of the smaller cities and town: has a member of the Senate, and Providence has a com- paratively small number when its pop- ulation is considered. The proposal | also sought to put into the State con- stitution certain provisions which went | on all fours with the Roosevelt New Deal. This proposal was defeated. Workers Resented N. R. A, A year ago last August, the workers | in Rhode Island were still sore over | the N. R. A. and the processing taxes, which they had been taught to believe played havoc with the textile mills. | The N. R. A. and the processing taxes | have passed from the picture, although | James Roosevelt, son of the President, stirred the issue of the N. R. A. in & speech recently in Massachusetts, say- | ing that it was his opinion—or the President’s—that the N. R. A. or| something like it should be revived. It is the claim of the Democrats that the Rhode Island textile workers and business men have largely for- gotten now about the N. R. A. and the processing taxes, which the Supreme Court tossed out of the window. The Democrats say that Roosevelt himself is the central figure and great.issue in this election and that all the work- ers are for him. It is on this Roosevelt personality that the Democrats are basing their hopes of victory in Rhode Island, as they are in'other States. Roosevelt, the humanitarian, the friend of the poor man and the enemy of the rich. It is this personal popularity of the President with the workers that keeps the Republicans awake nights. It is an imponderable factor they have no exact way of measuring. They, and the Democrats know that the Presi- dent went through Providence early one morning on his recent New Enge land campaign trip and that at 9:30 o'clock he drew the grestest crowds Psychic Message Council 1100 Twelfth St. N.W.

JOE H @/ INCORPORATED OUR PLUMBER’ that ever assembled in Providence. ‘That, the Democrats insist, must mean something. The Republicans fear that it may. The situation in Rhode Island, how- ever, is not as simple as all that. It was not long ago that Thomas P. Mc- Coy, Democratic boss of Pawtucket, was off the reservation. Senator Peter Goelet Gerry, who has been the angel | of the Democratic party for years in this State, has been sulking in his tent. However, McCoy is running for mayor of Pawtucket, and it is doubt- ful that he can afford to do any cut- ting. It would be disastrous for him if he lost the election. Gerry is back in Rhode Island now and may come out for the State ticket. It is under- | are coming to understand there are | St00d, however, that Gerry is off the New Deal, and whether he will lift a finger for Roosevelt is another matter. The Democrats seem to have plenty of money this year, without any contributions from Gerry. They levy on the pay of the large number | of State and Federal employes. In addition they have the inexhaustible supply of Federal money which con- tinues to fall like rain on the States in this election year. Business in Rhode Island is better than it was a year ago. And here it is having its effect and influence on | the election. business men However, most of the opposing Roosevelt, ! British r charitable purposes, although he 1s a conservative, and the late Senator “Jim” Couzens of Michigan was not, Metcalf has a personal following in Providence just as Couzens had in Detroit. His Democratic opponent is Gov. Green. Green is a cold prop- osition as a candidate. The Demo- crats insist, however, that he has. made a good Governor, and that the administration affairs has been a suc- cess; the Democrats have done away with a deficit they inherited from the G. O. P. and have cash in the till now. The Republicans retort that all the Democrats have done is to turn all the Republicans out of office and put Democrats in their places. This year for the first time voting machines are to be used in Rhode Is- land. Because the people know little about these machines, it is likely there will be comparatively few split ballots. If that is the case the State ticket and the senatorial race will likely go along with the President. Roosevelt's popularity may help to keep votes in line for Green, for Lieut. Gov. Robert Quinn, the Demo- cratic nominee for Governor, and for the rest of the ticket. On the other hand, Metcalf’s popularity may help the Landon ticket and the Republican State ticket. Republican leaders insist that polls taken in voting precincts are so fa- vorable as to be almost unbelievable. ‘They put their minimum lead at 10.- 000 for Landon, and say that it may g0 as high as 40,000. The Democrats, banking on Roose- velt’s popularity with labor and the Government spending and the relief workers, insist that Roosevelt will run at least as well as he did four years ago, when he carried the State by 3},000. Rhode Island has gone Democratic in the last two presidential elections. Al Smith carried the State in 1928, though by only 1,451 votes. Smith's has been a potent voice here. The present Democratic leaders say, how- ever, Smith’s campaign for Landon has left the voters cold and that his influence is gone. That they cannot know definitely. Father Coughlin has had trouble with his organization here. A coupie ['and threw two of his leaders out of | office.
