WHERE SHERMAN STANDS.

Approves Legislation to Improv® ths Conditions of Labor. (From Sherman’s Speech of Accept- '"• a '■, ance.) ' ~?T TUe Republican party believes In th® equality of all men before the law; believes In granting labor’s every request that does not seek to accord rights to one man denied to another. Fair-minded labor asks no more, no less, and approve® the record of the Republican party because of that par ty r s acts.

I have helped to make my party’s record In the enactment of the EightHour law, the Employers’ Liability act, the statutes to minimize the hazard of railroad employes, tbe Child Labor law for the District of Columbia and other enactments designed especially to improve the conditions of labor. I cannot hope to better state my position on Injunctions than by a specific endorsement of Mr. Taft's Cincinnati declaration on that subject. That endorsement I make.
