With Labor Much Better
Than That of Harding
Washington, Aug. 2ftV(By the Asso- ,' j
elated Frets.) Organised labor's non
partisan political campaign 'committee,
comparing the publio records of the
Republican and Democratic presidential
aomlncee, declared Ja a report made '
public today that Governor Cos bad -
"shown himself possessed of s fuller an '
demanding of the needs of the working

dent, and Frank Morrison, secretary of "
tbe American Federation of Labor; is
tbe first ever made oa -presidentinl can- . ,

Taking up the senntorial record of .
Senator Harding, the committee de
clared that on 18 measures dealing with '
labor bis score stood: Fsvorible, 7; an- -favorable,

The Republican nominee's vote oa

mittce, atood (.Favorable, fi; unfa von -ble,
0. In tbic connection the report
taldi
''Senator Harding's record ia Wash- .
Ington affords a better opportunity for
analysis of bit legislative views thaa
does h a record ia the Ohio Senate by
reason of the fact that hit term of ser- -vice
extended for a longer period of
time, during which he wit called upon
to consider a wider variety of meaa
,' -' ' -.
Reviewing Governor Cox's record tho
report said that while Governor of Ohio
be had (acted upon 09 uieasdres of in
terest to labor without acting en a single
one adversely to labor." As a member
of tbe 62nd congreaa, the governor vaa .,
recorded as voting "favorable' to labor
meaaurea, the only ones listed. .
y Summary of Findings.
After reviewing and Quoting st length
from ths utterances of tha candidates , .
eat labor issues la. their speeches sf ae '
teptaaes the eommittea summarised Its '
findings ia this language i ' ,' ; '
"There can be but oner conclusion
baaed upon a careful and impartial sur- '
vey of the actions and declarations' of
ths candidates. Governor Cox hss sbowa .
himaelf pdseeased of a fuller under
standing of the needs of the working
people, a readier responae to their needs
aad to their proposals and a broader
statetmanahip in his public discussions
of the problemt of the industrial world. ,
"In addition to his superior andest.
atanding, Governor Cox ia the eaadl- '
date on a platform which labor has do-
elared 'marks a mctturt of progrese f
not found in the BepubUeaa platform, 4
and the planka of which 'more nearly
approximate the deelxed declaratioa of ;
human righU thaa do the planks found
in tbs' Republican platform.'
'Not only in the specific utterances
relating directly to questions held ps
mount by labor is the compariaon fa
vorable to Governor Cox. His progrec
aive and constructive viewpoint holds
throughout his deelsratios of publis '
questions, though he slips st times into
that ambiguity which unfortunately has
marked to a grter or leas degree
the platforms of both parties and ths
utterances of both eandldttet. .
' It must ba exasperating to tne wnoie
American public that political parties
bedding for the suffrsge of the wholo
citizenship eaa aot state la definite
torma what aft their proposals and what
are their pledges. Tbe tame exaspera
tion must be felt regarding many of
the utterances of candidates. How
ever, the viewpoint of Governor Co
is, we' find, more dearly expressed tnd :
less opes to the criticism of lack, of
elarity. .
Cox's Official Record. '
"Moreover, and as aa argument that '
admits of no qualifying or denisl thcrs
la Governor Cox's record st -Governor
of Ohio during which ht acted upon
59 measures of interest to labor with-
out acting oa a single ens adversely V
t.i labor. - ( , '
"This Is s record, of fidelity to ho
manity, of understanding of the needs ,
of the great mtsaei ef tht people that
has few equals in American political , '
life.
"The American labor movement sake
from no man, or woman s pledge of
political conduct. , It seeks to dictate
to none. Its field la limited, snd prop
erly so, to furnishing to the rank snd
file the Information upon which it may 4
base eiiue'i'siona.
"There ia no infection to depart here
from that rule wh'eb binds the officers t,
Individually at w.?l at collectively in
teiving the great tabor movement. But
it would be a sad aad unforgivable re
mianets of duty in tblt crucial hour
wer the facts not presented with tbe
utmost freedom snd completeness.
"With the workers-, ef America rest
the right of deciding for which can

whether it ba wall an wisely, or with
