Also, we must insist upon the preservation and protection of American freedom, and above all the freedom of expression. So long as we have freedom of expression and a tree exchange of ideas, many of our most serious problems will solve themselves. "We of the Legion must stand today in peace, as we stood yesterday in war, for one flag, one Legionnaires: "We went into the army to save America. The men who make up the American Legion made the safety and welfare of the nation a matter for each man's own personal concern, and now that we are back in civilian life we must continue to make the welfare and safety of the nation our personal concern.

But this goal cannot. be attained by the individual effort alone. Achievement in this instance must come from unity, just as success in the World War came by united action." On preserving peace, Landon said: "Those of us who were in the service appreciate in a way others cannot, the utter futility of war. I need not tell you of its waste, its meaningless cruelty. You know.

But after all, the spirit of America must be our main reliance in staying out of war. We must have the strong will for peace. We.

"It they are ever permitted to be become so, then labor must prepare itself for reprisals as well as temporary con- victories, neither of which will tribute to settle the problems of labor on a sound and permanent basis. "I am for the laboring man and I am sorry to see the day when his welfare becomes a mere political football of American politics." Knox told the audience, largest ever to gather here in a political rally, that he had a vision" of the day when every boy or girl will be enabled to go to college, regardless of financial circumstances.

He said: "I do not envision any paternal government giving higher education as a dole or charity, but want to see an opportunity given every boy who is anxious to work for it." Knox took formal recognition of the importance Michigan's vote in November. "It may easily determine the fate of this said. "I know you people will repudiate the attempt to follow strange gods and worship strange idols, you will vote for and follow the leadership of that gallant, modest, sincere lovable governor of a typical prairie State, Alfred M. Landon." "No group in America has more cause for rejecting the present administration than the workingman of America. "It is with regret that I have been compelled to reach this conclusion about the activities of government, as such, in labor affairs, but the factors on which my conclusion is based are inescapable when viewed by the lessons of history, the plight in which labor finds itself under the various forms of government now existent in the world, and by my own personal experience, first as a laborer myself, and then as an employer of labor.

"As an employer of labor, for 35 years I have worked in harmony with union labor. I have never had a strike nor have I ever seen the time when differences of opinion could not be composed by a conference and negotiation with my employees." "I believe in the right of labor to collective bargaining. I believe reasonable hours of labor and in fair wages." "I am utterly opposed to child labor and sweatshop conditions any where. I believe that responsible labor leaders and responsible employers can assure these conditions of labor without outside interference, even by government." Knox said he believed government should assist "when asked" but should not "impose its own theories and policies for political purposes." Threatens Spectacular Dual Suicide (Continued From Page 1.)

7. American labor reached its most ironic milestone today as the 49th anniversary of the holiday dedicated to the workingman dawned on the sharpest chism known in the history of labor's ranks. Split into two camps, the tion's 3,500,000 affiliated laborers celebrated Labor Day by listening to attack and defense by labor's two outstanding chieftains of a campaign to revise the traditional form of industry. Behind one battlement, beetlebrowned John J. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers and chairman of the committee for industrial organization, was ready to tell his 1,174,000 supporters and the rest of the world why the old "craft" unions should be junked and labor organized along "mass" lines in each industry.

To the "rump" members of more than 2,000,000 workingmen and WOmen President William 'Green of the A. F. of L. was ready to excoriate the "rebel" unions and promise their expulsion from the Federation at the Tampa, conven- tion of that body in November. Green and Lewis will unfold their briefs over the air tonight.

The A. F. of L. leader was expected to afford some inkling of tonight's address when he spoke over the radio from Knoxville, last night. But his speech adhered to conventional lines, calling on labor to organize, and breathed no promise of what shape his pending onslaught on the "upstart" unions will take.

The "suspension" issued was moot. Green maintained today that the 10 unions, by failing to severe their connection with CIO by Saturday, had chosen to withdraw from the A. F. of L. to set up "a rival to the federation." Roosevelt Defends Federal Spending Policies (Continued From Page 1.)

Verne L. Smith, pastor of Central M. E. Church, and one time member of a labor union, delivered a forceful Labor Day sermon Sunday in which he stated that "maldistribution of income in a land of plenty has placed so much in the hands of a few that they cannot use it, and so little in the hands of many that they cannot buy the product of their own toil." He added: "Industry has become cloggedfrozen, Spiders spin webs over unused tools. The workingman is engulfed in' taxes, while the foodstuffs that he needs are thrown into the sea or plowed into the ground, and seething unrest makes of the world a tinder box in which almost anything might happen.

"A basic fact today is that personal achievement has lagged behind mechanical achievement. Amazing power has been put into the hands of the people. Political dictators have the peace of the world in their hands. Are we safe? "Mechanical power has been multiplied many times over. Are people fit to handle that new power? "We are evolving a new system.

We probably need it. But a mere rearrangement of things will not solve our problems." Earle Pledges State Relief For Strikers (Continued From Page 1.) liberty as well as civil and political Champion Of Common Man Philadelphia, Sept. President Roosevelt "the champion of the common man," John A. Phillips, president of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor, declared today in a labor day message that the working class is united behind the nation's chief executive. American labor, Phillips asserted, is "in politics consciously for the first "President Roosevelt," said the federation's spokesman, "walks unafraid, the champion of a better day for the common people of America.

In common with labor of the nation, labor in Philadelphia has pledged all of its resources in a supreme effort to make real for great mass of our citizenry the rights and privileges guaranteed them in the constitution. Phillips warned that President Roosevelt is being "ganged up against by the forces of Toryism, even though they have been the principal beneficiaries of the favorable turn now apparent in national affairs."
