WASHINGTON.—The Intention of
Herbert Hoover to keep to a high level
the standards of the American h m r
and to do so by continuing his offerts
in behalf of labor Is shown In a
pamphlet. “Hoover and Labor." re­
leased by the Hoover for President
Labor Council of the Republican Na­
tional Committee.
Curing his entire career, beginning
at the age of 12 when he was tossed
lato the world to earn hia living, Mr.
Hoover has worked whole-heartedly in
the cause of the working man. As a
laborer himself, as a worker in the
mines In his youth and. since 1921, as
Secretary of Commerce. Mr. Hoover
has studied the problems of American
labor and has aided in the eolation of
many of them, the pamphlet shows.
Aided Long F ig ht In Steel M ills
Mr. Hoover's labor record is an
open book. Policies that have bene­
fited labor have won his unwavering
support in every instance, the leaflet
reveals.
"In supporting Mr. Hoover,” it states
“American workers will be voting for
one of their own kind."
The brochure further goes on to
show that Mr. Hoover's support of the
principle of collective bargaining is
not mere theory. Prior to 1922 the
workers in the steel industry were
working 12 hours a day. This condi­
tion Mr. Hoover deplored, as he be­
lieved that a shorter working day
would not only be of nntold benefit t"
the steel worker, but would result In
the long run in a greater output and
better craftsmanship.
To this end, in 1922, he brought to­
gether the steel manufacturers of
America and induced them to estab­
lish eight hours throughout the entire
steel industry. For thirty years organ­
ised labor bad been fighting to thia
end and the pamphlet lust issued
shows that Mr. Hoover's efforts vere
successful in bringing to a close that
long fight of the steel workers.
Mr. Hoover has always believed in
collective bargaining and In addition
he has constantly upheld the rights of
workers to select their own represent­
atives without interference. Influence
or coercion from any source. He has
always opposed the seven-day week,
once general In m a-- Industries.
Is High W age Advocate
In 1920 he said: "In fixing hours of
labor in Industrial establishments at
a point consistent with the health of
employees and with proper opportu­
nity for rest and recreation, there
should in all cases be provision for
one day's rest in seven.”
"Mr. Hoover believes that the surest
road to prosperity is that which leads
to prosperity for the masses." the
pamphlet says. "While advocating
mass production an ! the use of la~>or
saving machinery, he has earnestly
advocated that labor share In the in­
creased production through higher
wages and the adoption of the best
conditions of employment in the
world. His record in the Department
of Commerce and bis public utter­
ances demonstrate the earnestness
and sincerity of his interest in the
■workers of our country, who have al­
ways looked upon him as a friend.”
Digging into the public utterances
of the Republican candidate for presi­
dent. the pamphlet reveals that in his
dealing with the question of the re­
striction of foreign immigration, Mr.
Hoover believes that our flrit concern
is to provide employment for our own
people and others already here before
we permit the admission of many from
other countries to compete with Amer­
ican labor. At the same time. In bis
address of acceptance at Palo Alto,
Calif., in August, he promised to do
his utmost to amend the Immigration
laws to relieve unnecessary hardships
tipon families.
As a basis of protection for tha
American working man Mr. Hoover
believes firmly in the Protective
Tariff, the booklet relteratea In point­
ing ont the dangers of a change la
administration policies at the present
«racisJ period.
