Show THE LABOR BILLS Mr Sutherland Makes Fuller Statement State-ment of His Position TRIBUNE SPKCLVL 0 Provo Nov 1Mr Sutherland said tonight The bills referred to In the Herald editorial l aa 1 remember provided pro-vided that It should be an olfense to discharge a man because he belonged to a labor union In the first place such legislation had been repeatedly I declared to bo unconstitutional as an unreasonable interference with individual I indi-vidual right where the relation of employer em-ployer and employee exists and no contract con-tract has been made binding the parties par-ties to n continuation of the relationship relation-ship for any particular time either party in at liberty to end the iclatlon ship at any time he pleases without any reason whatever r it may be ended without any reason the fact that either party has n bad canon cannot prevent the exercise of the right or course 1 would be 1 wrong thing to discharco 1 man bucuunc he belonged too union or because he did not be loriK or because he was a Methodist or because he was not or because he asa as-a Democrat or because he was not But a moments reflection will show that t6 puhlih a man for doing a thing which he has a right to do simply because he lies a bad reason for doing It la i not the province of any law So clear was this to the Senate that the bill was rejected re-jected by the votes of both Republicans Republi-cans and Deraocarfs No labor union 4 so fa aa I knew asked ifcj nas3i I je Two Democratic Legislatures since have evidently not desired to pass such a law because no such law has been passed I have never antagonized any law that was for the Interest of the laboring men of this State I urged Gay Wells to sign tho eighthour law after voting for It in the Legislature and It was signed by him My record Is before the miners and the working I merit of the State and with them I am content to leave it1 |
