Labor Votes Are Wooed By Both Parjies Stevenson Speaks To 40,000 Persons At Detroit Rally By UNITED PRESS The votes of more than 15 million union members were wooed Labor • Day by Democrats and Republican*. Labor secretary James P. Mitchell gave a report Issued by President Eisenhower. He reviewed the “progress of working men and women" under the Eisenhower administration and listed seven gains, including an increase of the minimum wage to |1 an hour and extension of unemployment insurance. Adlai E. Stevenson addressed a crowd of 40,000 at Detroit in the first major speech of his campaign as the Democratic presidential candidate. He denounced th* GOP administration for ‘•blindness" and an “unsympathetic attitude" toward the nation’s poor and jobless. Aiming at what he viewed as soft spots in the employment picture of prosperous times under the Republicans. Stevenson condemned the “ugly patches of poverty and insecurity which still deny dignity, even decency, to the lives of almost one-fifth of all American families.” Mitchell took a jibe at Democrats in his report. He described legislative gains under the Republicans as ‘‘especially remarkable because they were accomplished with our country at peace.” Stevenson, after marching in a Detroit parade and speaking, flew to Pontiac and Muskegon. Mich., for talks later in the day. He elaborated largely on his earlier address. Former President Truinan campaigned in a Labor Day address for Stevenson at Milwaukee.

The ex-president also said he wasn't going to give the Republicans “hell” in the camapign but was “just going to tell the truth about them.” Labor officials took pride in the number of working men now in unions, and took the -occasion tn expound the aims of labor. , lAFLJwzfGLOw Preside at". George Meany, in a radio address, summed up what labor wanted and what labor sought in a single word — “More.” But he also said a gain for labor was a gain for the entire economy. Meany criticized the GOP administration in the field of foreign policy. He said he saw danger in following ‘‘some naive spokesmen on foreign affairs” who urged a “more flexible" approach, to the friendly gestures of Russia. United Auto Workers president Walter P. Reuther, howevbr. gave a blistering attack on the Eisenhower administration. He branded the reign of .the GOP as the “crabwise crusade of conserva-

Paul Douglas called on labor unions Monday to proceed with organization of labor in the South and the elimination of occasional racketeering elements.
