DENTON, Md., Sept. 6 (U. P.) .—Following is the text of | President Roosevelt's Labor] Day speech: For two reasons which I think | you will approve, I have accepted the invitation of your Congressman to come to the Eastern Shore of | Maryland today. | The first reason is to give you] and me a chance to re-establish a | fact which we thought was long | ago thoroughly established by the | Constitution of the United States | even if it is denied by some of vour | newspapers and by some of your candidates for public office. That fact is—that the Free State | of Maryland, proud of itself and |
| conscious of itself, also is proud and |
conscious of being a most important | of the United States of] America; That what happens in gnd to the | Free State of Maryland matters | mightily in and to the United States | of America and. under the Constitution, to the Chief Executive and to the Congress of the United | States: That is the Free State of Mary-| land—happily a part of the Union— the flag, the Constitution and the President are still as welcome as in all of the other forty-seven states of the Union. The second, reason for my related to the tion. Unthinking people believe that the first Monday in September—Labor | Day—is set aside in special honor of those who work at a trade in| mills and factories and railroads | and mines. That is a narrow inter- | for this day belongs just | as much to those who work with | head and hands on farms. There | | |

Even today that minority is shortsightedly sure that its interests must lie in exploiting all who labor on farm as well as in the mill and the mine. But at the same time all over | this country the unity of interest of | all common men and women— warm-hearted, simple men and willing to live and let live, whether in factory or on farm— grows steadily more evident. Clearer every day is the one great history—the lesson taught Master of Galilee—that road to peace and the only road to civilization the road to unity the road called the “highway fellowship.”

CITES COLD-BLOODED FEW
But as this community of interest becomes apparent to those who live on farm and in city, the strategy of the cold-blooded few to divide and conquer, to make common men blind to their common interests, | becomes more active, Class conscions itself, just because it does | conceive its interest to be opposed | to the interest of all other people, | that small minority is deliberately to create prejudice between this and that group of the common people of America—to create a new class f>>'ing among peoople who instinctiv~ly are not class conscious. You in the State of Maryland— and the people of other states—have in recent weeks bocen treated to a number of examples of this de- | liberate attempt to create prejudice | and class feeling which can be charitably explained only as politi- | cal hysteria. But it does not. help the cause of constitutional government or effective democracy any- | where to laugh off such things on the general theory that anything is fair in love and politics. Today above all else that minority is trying to drive a wedge between the farmers on the one hand and their relatives and their logical partners in the cities on the oth<). It ‘ow the broad definiin the mind of the who above all people has known what it meant to labor from sun-up to sunIt is trying to make the farmer forget that the people in the cities who, like him. labor for their daily bread are his own people, flesh of his flesh and blood of his Americans just like him. is my fourth visit to the Shore since 1933— perhaps more visits than any other President has made; and I have been honored by being given an honorary degree by vour historic Washington University. You have sent your sons and daughters by the thousands into the | industrial world. Your products of farm and fishery go to the greatest city market of the United States. And you have never lost the sense of the lasting spiritual values in life. That is why I have wanted to come here on Labor Day and preach | if you will, on that ancient text, “We are all members one of another.” In order to make that relationship a benefit rather than a curse, in order to keep all of our people abreast of each other and in line with the present, our democratic of government must move! forward on many fronts at the same time.

He ad-| in 1933 interest rates | { charged by private banking ordinary citizens who wanted | finance a farm were altogether high; he admitted that there were
excesses, sharp practices and abuses |
in issuing securities and buying and | selling stocks and bonds; he adniitted that the hours of work in his factory were too long; he admitted | that old people, who became | aestitute through no fault of their cwn, were a problem; that national and economic conditions and speculation | | made farming and fishing extremely | hazardous occupations; and he even | admitted that the buying power of | farmers and fishermen had not kept pace with the buying power of many | other kinds of workers. But Conservative “Mr. A” not only declined to take any lead in solving these problems in co-operation with lis Government.

old-age pension and unempioyment insurance act. Once again the representative from the free state of Maryland took the lead and, thanks to his pioneering, decent security of life is assured to millions of our people. It is the privilege of some of us to dream dreams, and of some of us to carry out the dreams of others. But in Maryland you are fortunate in having a man who not only has seen visions, but has lived to make his dreams come true. He symbolizes for the farm and the city alike the inherent humanity of the man who rises from humble circumstances, and the inherent ability to grow in vision and effectiveness in the fertile soii of Amer= ican opportunity and the American tradition of equality. It is sugges= tive that he has never forgotten that he learned to read and write ag the knee of a Christian minister in Sunday school. And that is why perhaps he has lived the life of the good samaritan—and has not passed by on the other side. You in Maryland will shortly vote in a primary. The choice in all parties is solely yours—that goes without saying. But may I express the hope that the choice will be the choice of all who are entitled to vote in the primaries—not the choice of a group, an ‘organization’ group or an ‘antiorganization”

of the voters either in city or in country, but the choice of all who

| the best contribution that we abt
home can make to our own security lis to eliminate quickly all feelings of injustice an insecurity throughFor our own safety we cannot afford to follow those in public life who quote the golden rule and take no steps to bring it closer. As President, IT have willingly de= fended the interests of each of the nation’s great groups to the others, even if the others were critical. I have been just as glad to defend business to labor and agriculture,
| and to defend labor to business and | agriculture, as I have been to defend
agriculture to labor and business, That is part of my public duty.
SAW BITTER STRUGGLE
When I became President I found |a country demoralized and disor=ganized, with each of these groups seeking to survive by taking advantage of the others. As in the time of | George Washington in 1787, when | there was grave danger that the states would never become a nation—as in the time of Abraham Lincoln, when a tragic division threatened to be lasting—our time has brought a test of our American union. A big part of my duty as Presi=dent has been to do what I could to bring our people together again. That has been my unchanging pur= pose since March 4, 1933. The great test for us in our time is whether all the groups of our people are willing to work together for continuing progress. Such progress comes from the rank and file of our citizens, and though the Representatives of their free choice—representatives willing to co-operate, to get things done in the true spirit of “give and take’ — not representatives who seek every
| plausible excuse for blocking ac-
tion. What I or any one man may do is {of small moment compared with what the people do. In this effort
| to preserve our Democracy and our
Union, IT am confident that all who | labor in field and factory will carry on the good work
This is our high purpose on this Labor r Day of 1938.
