HAS USED EFFORTS TO FOSTER AND
PROMOTE INTERESTS OF LABOR
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Presi
dent Roosevelt and Wendell L. Will
kie took sharp issue in print yester
day over the New Deals’ labor pol
icies.
The Democratic and Republican
presidential candidates stated their
views in the current issue of the
American Federationist, official
monthly magazine of the American
federation of Labor.
President Roosevelt declared his
administration was “willing to be
judged—as to future policy-—by past
performance.”
“The achievements of the adminis
tration since 1933,” he said, “shall
be witness to its good faith in the
future.”
Willkie asserted that New Deal la
bor policies, if cont de.wouniuldtaoio
bor policies, if continued, would result
in the American labor movement’s be
ing “completely dominated by gov
ernment'* with the “old, discredited
company union” being replaced by
“government unions as in Naii, Ger
many."
i “I pledge myself,” the Republican
nominee saicH “to help the principle of
free unions.”
In his statement, the President de

been unremitting in ita efforts to foa
t*r> promote and develop the interests
of labor, to improve working condi
tions and to advance opportunities
for profitable employment.”
“If anyone asks the question aa to
the future policy of the administra
tion toward labor," the President con
tinued, “the answer is that we shall
hold steadfastly to every advance
gained and not permit present safe
guards to be whittled away by yield
ing to the spacious arguments of those
whose lip service to labor is loud and
eloquent before election, but whose
ears are deaf to all appeals to justice
the rest of the time."
The Republican nominee declared
that organizd labor has been “a prin
cipal _ factor in bringing improved
working conditions, higher wages
and shorter hours for all." He advo
cated a “continued rise in American
wage levels.”
Willkie said he “sympathised” with
the A. P. of L. in its “emphasis upon
the necessity for better administra
tion” of the national labor relations
act. He declared that “some changes”
in the act were necessary.

Census Deflates Quip
Of Small Missouri Town
KING CITY, MO.—For 10 years
King City residents used a catchy
quip to reply to questions at visitors
regarding the town’s population.
“It’s 1,101 and I’m the one,” was
the stock answer.
Now all that will be changed. The
1040 census count lists the popula
tion at 1,100.
So many claimed to be "the" one
that something had to be done about
it—that was the theory of one census >
