Republican States' Have Been Lib
eral in Legislation for v
1 Labor. ' ' :
Democratic States Hare Done Uttla
to Make Labor Conditions Better
Within Their Bounds.
It Is a fact that every Important step
for the bencflt pf American labor has
been taken either by a Republican
Congress and administration, or by the
Legislature of a Republican .State, of
course with the consent, and sometimes
by the advice, of the State executive
Democratic Congresses have been no
tably negligent In this respect, and
Democratic States have either done
nothing to make labor conditions bet
ter within tbe'r bounds, or have Hlowly
and reluctantly followed at afdistance
In the trail of Republican reforms.
State Legislation.
The States have control of labor leg
islation within their respective bounds,
federal authority being confined, so far
as labor is cWerned, to the District
of Columbia and the territories, federal
reservations and federal public works.
The story of labor legislation shows
that nearly all labor reforms originated
In Republican States, and at the pres
ent day the Republicans are far ahead
enforcement of laws for the welfare
of men oud women and children who
work for a living. Twenty-six" out of
thirty Republican States have labor
bureaus, and only seven out of sixteen
Democratic States have similar bu
reaus, without which labor' laws are
often dead letters. .Twenty-three Re
publican States, have factory inspectors
to see to the enforcement of the factory
laws. Only six Democratic States have
factory Inspection services. , Fifteen
State thirteen Republican and two
Democratic have free employment
agencies. Eighteen States have laws
on their statute books prohibiting labor
on ..government works or public con
tracts for more than eight hours a day.
Of these States sixteen are Republlcaa
and two Democratic. Four Republican
States and one Democratic State have
laws declaring eight hours to be a legal
working day in the absence of a con
tract. Twenty-seven States prohibit
the employment of children under four
teen years of ago In factories. Of these
twenty-three are Republican and fuur
nre .Democratic States. Laws fluiitfrig
the hours of the employment of chil
dren in factories or stores have been en
acted in twenty-four Republican and
thirteen Democratic States. ElRhfc
Republican ud ten Democratic Sles
prohibit night work by children. Twelve
Republican and three Democratic
States prohibit the employment of chil
dren In oiM'ratlng dangerous machinery
or cleaning machinery in motion. Fif
teen Republican and six Democratic
Status limit the hoirrs of labor of wom
en. It should be noted that twelve of
the Republican States which limit
women's horns of labor have factory
liisjiectors to set? that the law is obeyed,
while only three of the Dmaocratlo
States makl such provision. Iu twenty
three Republican and ten Democratic
States employers are required by law
to provide seats f7r female workers.
Twelve States bare euacted legisla
tion Intended to fUeet the extinction of
the swehtshop system, wlUi Its degrad
ing and revolting accessories. Of thesa
twelve States ten are Republican and
two Democratic. Seventeen Republican
and five Democratic States hnve laws
requiring the payment of wages weekly
r fortnightly, or, In some Instances
prohibiting a longer period thau ona
atonth between pay days.
1m4 t'nlna Label.
Fourteen Republican States and only
one Democratic State Nevada have
laws In force prohibiting employers
from discharging persons on account ot
mcuilMThhlp bi latior organisations, or
from compelling persons to agree not
to become mcaj tiers of lalnir organiza
tions at a com!) Ion of securing employ
ment or continuing In their employ.
Forly States haw pnssed laws allowing
trade unions to adopt labels or trade
marks to be used to designate products
of the Inlior of their member, and pro
hibiting the counterfeiting of the use
of such label" or trade-ma rka by un
authorized persons. Of these States
tweiit.T-elqht r Republican and twelve
nre Democratic.
The foregoing presents for considera
tion by Intelligent, patriotic labor siib
xtfintlftl facts and figures taken from
the statute books f the several States.
No platitude enn npset Ihera. They
prove the records of the Republican
party and of tba Democracy on the la
bor Issue, and they must convince ev
ery reasonable reader that tba Republi
can party has not only brought Ameri
can labor up to its present honorable
standard, but that labor can look only
to the Republican party for assurance
of protection and prosperity In tba
future. .
