Cox, the Democratic candidate for president, in his western campaign tour contended that ; the methods of handling dis- putes between labor and capital developed during his governor- ship of Ohio can be applied to national as well as state situa- tions. e "As long as men work for hire," declared the governor, "there will be differences of opinion between those who labor and those who employ labor. Indus- trial disputes cannot be avoided, but industrial disputes can he prevented from menacing the welfare of the nation when both parties to the dispute can be ' made to understand that govern- ment is fair and that neither one , nor the other may gain an ad- vantage." i "We found something In Ohio that was better than bayonets : and we used it. it was the golden rule. It worked in Ohio, ) and it will work in the nation. ! "Labor should have the right to organize and through repre- f'ectathes of their own choosing .negotiate collective bargaining. This right has never been denied ..,aa':. Care must be exercised ! 'hit tl") government at no time "f te rdj oppressive in maintain- j ing the laws of the land.
