LABOR LEGISLATION
Republican States Have Been
cral in Legislation for
Labor.
Lib.
Democratic States ITurt Don Little
to 2-fake Labor Conditions Better '
Within Their Bounds.
The numerous Hearst publica
tions have been personallyrcpie
ser.ted throughout Oregon and
Washington recently by Ray
Washington Taylor, who is writ
ing a series of articles showing
agricultural and hortciulurrU ac
tualities In this portion of th
United States. Mr.Taylor is on
the stalT of 'The San Frar.cisco
"Examiner," but his storic will
be printed in all of the Ileaifct
papers.
Portland has inaugurated a re
form movement and the edict
that all fallen women must move
out has gone" forth. Just what
Ihe result of this order will be re
mains to be seen. Nothing is
aid of the men who are co part
ners with the 'women in their
Scarlet career. Why the women
fehould be driven out while the
men remain unmolested is not
quite clear to the average Mind.
If the women must go, kick the
men out also.
, It is rumored that the fruit
brokers of New York City got, to
gether recently, had a midnight
meeting down in tho sub-way,
and decided that they were not
going to pay fancy prices for Ore
gon and Washington apples.
jThcre was at least one commission
pan who did not attend this
meeting, however, and he sneak
ed oil to Hood lliver and bought
'80,000 boxes. A grapevine tele
gram says that 150,000 more
have been sold and eastern com
mission men have been plentiful
n tho Yakima,. lloguo River,
prand Ronde, VVenatchec, and
other fruit producing sections.
. If the political campaign is as
devoid of interest in all parts of
tho country as it is in Oregon it
kwill bo a tos3 as to who tho win-
per will be. In view of the fact,
however, that we have enjoyed
pnprccented prosperity under re
publican rule for the past 8 years,
,wo see no good reason why we
should clamor for a change. The
repeal of the protective tariff
would result In industrial disor
ganization and confusion. Fac
iories Would .suspend operations
temporarily, ct least, tho gener
cl prosperity of tho country
wnuul be crippled. lnis is on
the assumption, of course, that
both houses of congress aro to
change their political complexion
3 tho chief executive can only
recommend legislation, and veto
that which does not meet with
hii approval.
V Tho County Fair which cIC' ed
last Saturday, was a success
Tho attendance was good, and
the Interest manifested by all
parts of the county was gratify
ing. Oregon City came out in
most commendable manner. The
attendance and inthusiam ex
cccdcd all expectation, under the
circumstances. The grounds
were in crude condition and faci
htics for handling the crowd an
exhibits, especially tho livestock
will be much better another year,
The different communities wi
realize more tho importance cf
ood county fair and future ex
hibl.i wiil be better from year to
year. The fair of last week may
be regarded as only an index to
future efforts.
It M n fuct that every important stop
for tbo tMii-flt of American labor has
U't'U taken either by a Republican
C'oiijrrt'Ki aud admlnUtritl a, or by the
legislature of a R'pubU-un Ut of
cours with the consent, and sonwt lines
by the sdvln, of the State executive.
Democratic .C'ong-resws hare beeu no
tably negligent In this refqwt, and
democratic (States hsre either done
nothing to make labor conditions bet
ter within thtlr bounds, or have slowly
and reluctantly followed at a distance
iu the trull of Republican reforms.
SUt LalUOa.
The States have control Of labor leg
islation within their respective bounds,
fctb ral authority being confined, so far
as lubor Is concerned, to the IUtrlct
of Columbia and the territories, federal
rexervatlons and federal public works.
The story of labor legislation shows
that nearly all labor reforms originated
In Republican States, and at the pre,
tut day the Republicans are' far ahead
of the Democrats In the enactmeut and
enforcement of laws for the welfare
of men and women and children who
work for a living. Twenty-six out of
thirty Republican States bare 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 tho enforcement of the factory
laws. Only six Democratic States have
factory Inspection services. Fifteen
Ultra thirteen Republican and two
Democratic have free employment
guides. Klghteeu States have laws
on their statute books prohibiting labor
on government works or public con
tracts for more thau eight hours a day.
Of theKo States sixteen are Republican
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 cuiplojiueut of children under four
teen years of ttge in factories. Of these
twenty-three aro Republican and four
are Democratic States. Laws limiting
tho hours of the employment of chil
dren Iu factories or stores have been en
acted In twenty-four Republican and
thirteen Democratic States. Eighteen
Republican and ten Democratic States
prohibit night work by children. Twelve
Republican and. three Democratic
States prohibit the employment of chil
dren In operating dangerous machinery
or cleaning machinery In motion. Fif
teen Itctiubllcan and six Democratic
States limit the hours of labor of worn
en. It should be noted that twelve of
the Republican States which limit
women's hours of labor have factory
liiHitectors to sco that the law Is obeyed,
while only three of the Democratic
Stales make such provision. In twenty
three Republican and ten Democratic
States employers are required by law
to provide seats for female workers
Twelve States have enacted lcgisla
tlon Intended to effect the extinction of
the sweatshop system, with Its degrad
tug and revolting accessories. Of these
twelve States ten are Republican and
two Democratic. Seventeen Republican
aud five Democratic States have laws
requiring the payment of warts weekly
or fortulgbtly, or, In some luMances,
Kohlbltlng a longer period than one
otth between pay days.
Trad I'Mlo Label.
Fourteen Republican States and only
one Democratic State Nevada have
laws lu force -prnhlhlUng employers
front dtftrnnrglng persons on account of
membership In labor organisations, or
from compelling persons to agrcrf not
to become members of labor organlza
ttons si a condition of sec jrlng employ
thent or Continuing In their employ
Forty States have passed laws allowing
hade unions t adopt labels or trdi-
marks to be uM to designate product
of tbe labor of their members, aud pro
hibiting the counterfeiting cf the uie
of such labels or trademarks by un
anthorltrd prions. Of those States
t scly -eight are Republican and twelve
are Democratic.
Tl e foregoing presents for considers
ttou by Intelligent, patriotic labor sub
stantial facts and figures taken from
tie statute books of the several States.
No platitude ciu upset them. They
prov thit records of the Republics
party and of the Democracy on the la
bor Issue, and they must conrlooe or
cry rcnof.ble reader that the Republ
can party has not only trougbt Aroerl
can itibor ut to us present mnorabi
standard, but that labor cau look only
to tho Republican party for assurance
of protection and prosperity In the
future.

I feel that the country Is indeed to be congratulated upon the
tiomlnatlon of Sir. Taft. .t hare known him intimately for many years
jmd X hart i peculiar feeling tor him, because throughout that time
he worked tor the same object, with he same purposes and ideals.
X do not believe there eould be found in all the country a man
so well flitted to be President
v He Is not only absolutely fearless, absolutely dislnyrested and up
right, but he has the widest acquaintance with the nation's needs, with
out and within, and the broadest sympathies with all our citizens.
He would be as emphatically a President of the plain, people as
Lincoln,, yet not Lincoln himself, would be freer from the least taint
of demagogy, the least tendency to arouse or appeal to class hatred of
Vny kind. , , , , '
lie has a peculiar and Intimate knowledge of and sympathy with
the needs ol all our people-cf the. fsimer, cf the wage earner, cf the
business man; of the property owner.
s No matter what -a -man's occupation or social position, uo matter
wht ht creed, hle. eoler, or the section of the country from whlcli he
comes, If ha tr'c.n' fee nest, hard working man who trls to do his duty
toward his neighbor aad toward the eountry, he can rest assured that
he will hate in Mr. Taft the most upright of representatives and the
luott tearless cf champions.
LIr. Taft standi against privileges and he stands pre-eminently for
the broad principles of American citizenship which lie at the founda
tion of our national well being.
