Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 September 1908 — Republican Labor Legislation. [ARTICLE]

Republican Labor Legislation.

“If the workingman wants a further illustration as to where labor laws have been enacted let him go over 14bor legislation of the various states. He will find that they are most efficient In the states of the North and the West where Republicans have been In control, the least effective In the South, where the Democratic party has had undisputed control for many years. Organized labor has Its strength In the North and West, and It has secured such legislation as has already been enacted from the Republican party, both In national and state legislation. If organized labor accepts the professed friendship of the Democratic party as genuine It will need to appeal to Democrats In congress who do not give muoh heed to the appeals of labor at home In the South, where organized labor has •ever been Influential enough to procure satisfactory labor laws from Democratic legislatures.” Speaker Gannon. “The American workingman has had bitter experience under the operation of the Dingjey bill.” —From Mr. Kern’s Notification Speech. How about under the WllaonOorman bill?
