GARY WANTS UNION LABOR

REGULATIO I INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE I HOIIOKKN. N. .1. April t! Judge Kibert H. Uary. head of the I". S. .Steel corporation, in an address here today to the board of directors, declared his unalterably opposition to the "One liig Union" idea and asserted that "labor unions" should be subjected to go ernnicnta! control and regulation." just like any other organization. "Wo do not combat labor unions as Mich." said Judge Gary. "We acknowledge the national right of labor to organize, but we insist that a labor organisation should be subjected io covornmental control and regulation like other organizations. "Discrimination by law in favor of or against any particular class i detrimental to the Interests, of the general community and contradicts the fundamental principles of our government. "We stand for the open shop, which permit? a man to wor when and where he pleaes. on terms mutually agreed upon whether or not he belongs to a labor union. Our men generally do not belong to labor unions because they know by long experience that it is to their advantage to be free from dictation by outsiders: and that they are receiving as large or larger compensation than would be provided under labor union domination. "We intend to maintain and improve the condition of our employes. We believe and irf think the general public i of the same opinion, that the -welfare of mankind shall not be promoted by 'the ona big union," or by the orga-nizA-tion of the entire industry of the country ,or by the control of industry under the arbitrary direction of an organized minority. "A studious, thoughtful, fair-minded. Intelligent public is at present considering these vital questions for they are paramount in the determination of the great economic and social questions of the day. "We have a splendid and efficient rpanization a.rd we ar appreciative We s- -'k to demonstrate this in practice. We know- that for real success, the management. 1s dependent upon the workman. We believe In co-operation between employer and employe, in affording every cmplove a chance to advance according to merit and to become pecuniarily interested in the property by acquiring a stock interest." AN ANNOUNCEMENT Candidate for Senator Enunciates Principles of His Platform Today. Frank P.. McIIroy. republican candidate for senator, on being asked the platform on which he stands and the principles he will support if elected to a seat in the senate, made today the following statement: I declare for state rights and individual liberty. I believe in the support of state sovereignty and local elf-goTernment . I am opposed to the National and State Prohibition act. because the people were denied atiy voice in1 iis ratification or rejection, which is an infringement on perdonil rights . I am opposed to the present obnoxious tax law and if I am honored with a seat in the senate I will elo all in my power to enact a new tax law- that will be just and equitable to all tax rayers. whether large or tmail. I am eppojd to the taxation of the poor whose personal property is valued at less than J5"it.o. I believe in taxation justly proportioned to .such an extent only as is necessary for maintenance of government economically administered. ' I favor a just and liberal appropriation to the American soldiers of the world war. maimed or Injured while on the high seas to make -world safe for Democrncy. T believe that each Stat should take care of their own. We owe the American soldier a debt of gratitude that we can never repay. Labor: The difference from tims immemorial between capital and labor lies in the development and acceptance of the sharing of profits. Capital Is dependent upon labor and lebor upon capital. There must be co-operation between the employer and the employee harmony must exist for the happineis and prosperity or both. I believe in and stand for the rule of the people, and I invite all men. who so believe, to stand with me to the end. F ft A N" K P. McILHOT Are you reading The Times?
