NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, ugshes On Labor “There are some people who regard organized labor as the source of strife and a menace of difficulty. I regard it as a fine opportunity for the im- proving of the conditions of the workingman.” CHARLES E. HUGHES “The mission of labor organization is one of the finest that any organi- CHARLES E. HUGHES zation of men could guard.’ “He was the greatest friend of labor laws that ever occupied the gov- enor’s chair. He signed fifty-six labor laws (one-third of all passed in the State since 1777), among them many of the best ever enacted in this or any other state. He urged the enactment of labor laws in his messages to the legislature, even going so far as to demand a labor law at an extra session. Human rights has a steadfast and sympathetic upholder in the new Justice.” N. Y. LEGISLATIVE LABOR NEWS These are not new opinions from the Republican candidate nor a recent estimate concerning him. Hughes recorded his stand on labor not when a candidate for office, but as a gov- ernor of New York about to retire from politics to become a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, where he expected to remain the rest of his ife. They were the convictions of Charles E. Hughes on the eve of joining the highest tribunal in America, a court of last resort—at a time and in a situation when no pos- sible advantage could accrue to him from any public expression. No estimate of his fitness to fill the office of President with firmness, fairness and justice can be stronger than the above comment from a review of his career as governor by the organ of the New York Federation of Labor. He has no need to talk—he has done. He said what he believed then—he believes what he said, now. 1916. Wilson On Labor “I am a fierce partisan of the open shop.” WOODROW WILSON, (1909.) “The class formed by the labor organizations and leaders is a formidable enemy to equality and betterment of opportunity.” WOODROW WILSON, (1909.) “Labor unions drag the highest man to the level of the low- WOODROW WILSON, (1909.) ” est “The usual standard of the laborer in our day is to give as little as he may for his wages.” WOODROW WILSON, (1909.) These are the convictions of a Presidential candidate when he was not in public life—when he was not running for office— when he was not looking for votes. They are the expressions of a scholar, the teacher of politi- cal economy, the writer of text-books and histories. He said what he believed then—he believes what now. he said, The real friend of the laboring man is the man who says and does things for the benefit of the laboring man when he is not seeking any reward for himself as a result of what he does. Charles E. Hughes IS that man, as his record will show. Voie For Charles E. Hughes, Nov. 7th, the Real Friend of the Labor Union.
