Sometimes the employees ask too much, sometimes the employers.
When either side goes too far I feel free to oppose it.
I approach each problem not only from the economic but from the human angle.

I took my guidance from the words of President Harding, when he said: "The human element comes first.

I want the employers to understand the hopes and yearnings of the workers, and I want the wage earners to understand the burdens and anxieties of the wage payers, and all of them must understand their obligations to the people and to the republic.

Out of this understanding will come social justice which is so essential to the highest human happiness." The Labor Department has been able to settle, after candid argument, thousands of disputes saving millions of dollars for workers and employers and relieving the public from the great loss and inconvenience that comes with strikes and industrial war.

I have but one aim, and that is justice.
