TURNER - "WASHINGTON. Sept.Ml-ff) Flatly approving the. conscription of non-coo peratlre Industries for national defense purposes. Presi dent Rooserelt delivered a .major address of hit 1940 campaign to night And made ot It an appeal for the support of organized, labor. He spoke. In the first place, be fore a convention of the' Team sters union, 'which earlier In the day had endorsed him for a third term. He recited the gains for la bor which he contended were the result of new deal legislation, and. emphatically, he aserted that na tional defense needs require no relaxation of these reforms. - "I - am convinced," , he said, "that a breakdown of existing la bor and social legislation would weaken rather than Increase our efforts for defense. Continuance of them means the preservation of the efficiency of labor. It means the return to work of several million still unemployed." The chief executive lashed out, too,' at segments ot his opposi tion which, he ald, were endeav oring to make the. national de fense crisis an excuse for stop ping "the progress we are making . In social and labor? legislation" and for repealing the new deal enactments. . - -Declares Progress Made Difficult Progress, he asserted, had been slow and difficult; 'beset by ob struction, and by- bitter- propagan da.", from these who had grown accustomed to the "exploitation" of .theinaSSejsiwlrfug-fftf them; ' VYqu wilfTSinTmber that kind of- opposition In the campaign of four years ago,"., he said, "when certain employers, politicians and . newspapers all of whom are bow active' 1b this campaign In aa ef ; fori to mislead and Intimidate la bor, went to the extent of putting antrue- electioneering - notices In jay envelopes In order to smash the new . social security act and -force Its repeal by electing Its en-'-mlesT ' - '''- - r. r '";"'TThat kind of opposition comes only too often frorn those who , regularly for three years and eight months block labor's welfare, and then for four months ' loudly pro claim, that they ; are labor's true friends from those who love the laboring ' man' In November but f o'rget him In January." And, he asserted: -. "The people must, decide whe ther to continue the type of gov ernment which has fostered the progress to date, or whether, to turn it over to those who by their aetlon, if not always by ' their word, have shown their -fundamental opposition to the main ob jectives toward which we : have worked and to which we are def initely committed for th future." Bestews "Keep out t War.
