Tho States have control of labor leg islation within their respective bounds, federal authority being confined, so far as labor is concerned, to the District of Columbia and tlic territories, federal reservations and federal public works. The story of labor legislation shows that nearly all labor reforms originated In Republican States, and at the pres ent day the Republicans are far altead of the Democrats in the enactment and enforcement of taws for the welfare of men and women and children who work for a living. Twenty-six out of thirty Republican States have labor bureaus, and only seven out of sixteen Democratic States have similar bu reaus. without which labor laws are often dead letters. Twenty-three Re publican States have factory Inspectors to see to the enforcement of the factory laws. Only six Democratic States have factory inspection services. Fifteen States—thirteen Republican and two Democratic—have free employment agencies. Kighteen States have laws ou their statute books prohibiting labor on government works or public con tracts for more than eight hours a day. Of these States sixteen are Republican and two Democratic. Four Republican States and one Democratic State have laws declaring eight hours to lie a legal working day In the absence of a con tract. Twenty-seven States prohibit the employment of children under four teen years of age In factories. Of these twenty-three are Republican and four are Democratic States. Laws limiting the hours of the employment of chil dren iu factories or stores have been en acted in twenty-four Republican anil thirteen Democratic States. Kighteen Republican and ten Democratic States prohibit night work by children. Twelve Republican and three Democratic States prohibit the employment of chil-, dren in operating dangerous machinery or cleaning machinery In motion. Fif teen Republican and six Democratic States limit the hours of labor of worn-; en. It should be noted that twelve of the Republican States which limit women's hours of labor have factory Inspectors to see that the law is obeyed, while only three of the Democratic States make such provision. In twenty three Republican and ten Democratic States employers are required liy law to provide seats for female workers. T.elve States have enacted legisla ti a intended to effect the extinction of the sweatshop system, with its degrad ing and revolting accessories. Of these twelve States ten are Republican and two Democratic. Seventeen Republican and five Democratic States have laws requiring the payment of wages weekly or fortuightly, or. in some instances, prohibiting a longer period than one month between pay days. Trade Union Labels, Fourteen Republican Stales and only one Democratic State—Nevada—have layvs In force prohibiting employers from discharging persons on account of membership in labor organizations,, or from compelling persons to agree not to become members of labor orgauiza tions as u condition of securing employ ment or continuing in their employ. Forty States have passed laws allowing trade unions to adopt labels or trade marks to be used to designate products of the lalKir of their members, and pro hibiting the counterfeiting of the use of such labels or trade-marks by un authorized persons. Of these States twenty-eight are Republican and twelve are Democratic. The foregoing presents for considera tion by intelligent, patriotic labor sub stantial facts and figures taken from the statute books of the several States. No platitude can upset them. They prove the records of the Republican party and of the Democracy on the la bor Issue, and they must convince ev ery reasonable reader that the Republi can party has not only brought Ameri can labor up to its present honorable standard, but that labor can look only to the Republican party for assurance of protection and prosperity in the future.
