Show HOW WILSON KNOCKED ORGANIZED LABOR. The labor record of the Democratic nominee for president is now being given to the public. Mr. Wilson bitterly attacked the cause of the worlanginan for years, but one of his most significant utterances was on June 13, 1909. when he was addressing a Princeton Prince-ton graduating class, surrounded by the wealthy members of his board of trustees, and the still more wealthy patrons and alumni of Princeton, all of them employers of labor. On that date he said : Tou know what the usunl standard of tbo employe is in our day. It Is to rive as little as he may ;or his wages. Labor is standardized by the trade unions and this is the standard to which It is made to conform. No one Is suffered to do more than the average workman can do In torno trades and handicrafts no one is suffered to do more than the least skillful skill-ful of his fellows can do within the labor hours alloted to a days labor and no one mav work off hours at all or rolnnteor anything beyond a minimum The labor of America is rapidly becoming unprofitable under Its present regulation by those "who have determined to reduce It to a minimum. The union man should clip out the above and paste it. in his hat, because it should be a reminder i wiiy he should not vote for the Democratic candidate for president. |
