Federation (Continued Prm Pag* 1) not believe that I have ever loat an opportunity to advance by leg islation the welfare of agriculture and labor.* (Applause.) By that I do not mean that I have not done the same in a different way perhaps for all other groups of our country. I helpA to write the1 law creating the Federal Trade Commission set up in order that honest business might find a forum where it might present its griev ances against dishonest business, where small business might go in order that it might be protected against big business seeking to drive it out of business in this country. Well, it was called social istic. At that time the word had come into use because we were setting up an agency in Washing ton to protect honest business against dishonest business, to pro wet ine ousmess element ana tne people at large against thoae who were aeeking to monopolise the field to drive their competitors out of bosineaa in order that they might dominate the market and dominate the people. That legis lation is still in existence and it has justified its existence by at tempting to keep unchoked the talents of commerce so that hon est business in this country might have a fair opportunity to pro tect what we call free enterprise, individual efforts. The Democratic party has always been in favor of free enterprise. It has always fa vored initiative, individual initia tive. It has favored hues that would induce men, honest men, proudent men, to go into business enterprises in order that they might succeed and give employ ment to labor. But the Democratic party has never believed in that kind of free enterprise that gives big business or monopolists the Greeting!

CHARLOTTE, N. C. right freely to dominate the Amer ican people and to carry oat their work. (Applause.) That has been one of the great differences bs twen the two political parties in the United States; and I might say that I believe in the two party system coming back to politics, not as a game but as the pride of government. We have had on the whole very good government in this country because of the two party system, because the people can hold one party responsible who can be voted into power and if it fails of its duty and betrays its people at the next election, the people can point their finger at him and say “thou art the man”. Where you have a multiplicity of parties like you do in some of the European countries, where no one has a majority, where they cannot even organise their government without consolidating and combining and compromising and making arrangements between two or more political parties so that no one of them can be held responsible for conduct of the gov ernment. It bps been intimately more difficult to hold public men responsible for their conduct in office. For that reason I hope the time will never come and I say that without prejudice toward anybody or group, because I take it for granted that all men who join any political movement are sincere and honest in their con viction and I would not for a moment doubt their integrity. But looking at it from a practical standpoint, knowing that the peo ple will hold responsible those whom they elect to office, it seems to me that our political institutions have gained and are now stronger than they would have been other wise if we had been split up into minority political organisations, so that no one could obtain a ma jority and no one could be held -- responsible for the conduct of our government. Now, not only did the party to which I belong (I’ve got to mention this as a matter of political history in this country and I am not being unfair, I hope, to anybody) not only in the Clay ton Anti-Trust Law, not only in the Federal Trade Commission Act, but in the Walsh-Healey Act with which you are familiar, with the Norris-LaGuardia Act which undertook to bring to termination the era of government by injunc tion in this country (applause) as exhibited and exemplified right by the so-called “yellow dog” con tract of a previous era. Our party has been in the forefront as the pioneer on behalf of fair legisla tion in the Held of labor. Then when the Roosevelt administration came along recognising the fact* that there was at that time a dis parity between power and the en force and the rights, recognized by the law, between employers and employes; and in order that there might be a law on the stat utes where both sides might sit down at a table with their repre sentatives, freely chosen by them, and negotiate and arbitrate with respect to wages and conditions of labor, we passed the Wagner Labor Relations Act, which was one at the finest acts ever passed, in my judgment; and it was ad ministered in a way that was not unfair even to those who employed labor. (Applause.) But before that I want to mention this fact, which is a matter of record. 1 happen to be the author of the Railway Labor Act that was en acted by the Congress of the United States. Some of you may remember the Howell-Bqfkley bill introduced in the Senate by Sen ator Howell of Nebraska and by me in the House of Representatives before I went to the Senate.

It was the fairest and is now one of the fairest labor laws ever enacted in the history of the United States; and when we began to deal with the question of modi fying tbs Wagner Act, I felt that if we eould some way or other, with the changes necessary by ex perience, write in substance the bill which we wrote for railway labor in this country it would be likewise admini|tered because it set up a mediation and conciliation board to bring labor and manage ment together without coercion, without any threats, without the denial of the rights of anybody to present his ease before an impar tial board set up by the govern ment of the United States.
