Acting upon tho principle nf
'Kuual opportunity for all, spe
cial privileges for none," 1 shall
ask congress to carry out (ho tariff
declaration of our platform. To
be sure (ho republican parly will
ullcmpt in the campaign In mis
represent demiu.'rat lc altitude in
Iho tariff. The democratic parly
does not anil under my leadership
will imi advocate any sudden or
drastic revolution In our economic
system which would cause business
upheaval a till popular il (stress.
This principle was recognized as
far hack as the passage of the
I'mlerwood tariff hill. Our plat
form restates it In unmistakable
IniiKUagc. The democratic party
stands Kiiunrtdy for tho mainten
ance of legitimate business and a
hluh standard of wages for Amer
lean labor. Moth can bo main

or service was ever rendered by
any president than by Woodrnw
Wilson when he struck at the meh-

we have close relations, vital

the same principles to which j

against selfish aggression in this
field wherever it a ppoars and ir

been more careless about Ihe con

has ours. We have denuded our
forests.. W- ha ve been slow to

and have allowed to run to waste
or have given to private exploita
tion our public waters with their
great potential power for tho de

The value of this heritage can
hex! be measured when we con

duly of l he democratic party to
set up Ihe truth. Tho ownership
of some of these groat water
powers of .the nation lies In the

several states. Those s o u r c e s
of water power must temain for
ever under public ownership and
control. Where they are owned
by the federal government., they
should remain under federal con

are owned by slates jointly, they
should bo under the control of
those stales.

right to insjst upon fair ami

This can bo secured only by the
absolute retention by the people
of the ownership of the power by
owning add controlling the site

Labor
The American people constitute
a structure of many component
parts. one of its foundations is
labor. The reasonable content
ment of those who toil with tho
conditions under which they live
j and work is an essential basts
of the nation's well-being. The
welfare of our . country therefore
diMiia'mV governmental c'vncovn
, for the legit imate interest of la
bor. The Democratic Party has al
I ways recognized this fact and un
der tho administration a large,
body of progressive legislation for
jlio protection of those laboring
in industiy. was enacted. Our
I platform cont inues thai tradition
1 of the party. We declare for the
j principle of collective bargain
j ing which alone can put the la
I borer upon a busts of fair equal
ity with the employer; for the hu
man principle that labor Is not
a commodity: for fair treatment
in government and 'federal em
ployees; and for specific and im
mediate attention to the serious
problems of unemployment.
From those premises it was 'in
evitable lhat our platform should
further recognize grave abuses in
the issuance of injunctions in la-
jbor disputes which threaten th"
I very principle of collective bar
, gaining. Chief Just ice Tuft in
ji:il:i slated that government of
jibe relations between' capital and
labor by injunction was an ab
surdity. Justice Holmes ami Jus
ilice Br.'indeiM of Ihe I. S. Supreme
j Court unite In an opinion which
i describes the restraints on labor
I imposed by a federal injunction
j as a reminder of Involuntary ser
j vitude.
S Dissatisfaction and social unrest
'have grown from the abuses and
i undoubtedly legislation must be
; framed lo meet just causes for
I complaint in regard to tho un
1 warranted issuance of injunctions.
- Tho Judiciary Committee of the
Fulled States Senate has already
I in progress a careful study of this
'situation. I promise full copora
Ition to tho end lhat a definite
1 remedy by law bo brought forth
(to end the existing evils and pre-
serve the const il nl iona 1 guaran
tees of individual liberty, free as
semblage and speech and Ihe
rights of peaceful persuasion.
