Brown Attacks Labor Unions in Georgia Platform
The 1914 Georgia platform by former Governor Joseph M. Brown denounces labor unions as anarchic and foreign in influence, calls for compulsory arbitration, limits on immigration, and protection of public utilities from union power, while opposing sectarian funding and favoring rule of law over class privilege. He addresses public offices, race, and church and state separation, urging enforcement of neutral laws and restrained government.
