BUSINESS DEPRESSION
SAID TO Be GENERAL
Question Of Mexico Is Taboo
and President Wilson
Refuses to Discuss It
By John Edwin Nevin.

Washington, June President vii.
son resumed today his semi-weekly con
ference with the newspaper correspond
ents.
He indicated th,. me entire effect
of the proposed labor amendments to
the Sherman law is SIMPLY to clear
up" the doubtful ground. Laborites,
the president said, had argued that
their organizations exist only through
the sufferance of the department of
justice. He said personally he did not
agree with this, but declared he be-
lieyes ,he people want all workers Civ
en- the right to organize for mutual
self-protection. So under the amend
ment, the president said there could be
no question regarding the right of the
unions to organize and exist, but at the
same time they would be answerable
lor any law violations.
Boycott Not Legahzed.
President Wilson denied that boycott
ting would be legalized as certain en-
plOyers organizations contend. He ex-
planned that the amendment merely
regulates the issuance of injunctions
and prevents the use of this weapon
to crush strikes.
The president said that in his opinion
the amendments would remove all
doubtful ground for believing that
there was nothing in them preventing
criminal prosecution of labor unions if
they knowingly violate the criminal
provisions of the antitrust laws
President Wilson said he would be
delighted if the group of five conserv-
alton bills would be passed at the pres
ent session. He said he expected all
five to pass during the present or ear
ly in the next session of congress. He
declared the west had long demanded
action and now would get it. The pres
ident declared the five bills to be the
first constructive conservation program
ever designed
Business Depression General.
Regarding business depression, the
president said it was general through
out the world. He said however, that
it WAS being felt less in America than
elsewhere. He insisted that there was
no real depression of business in Amer
lea. He declared that if there had
been any depression it had centered
about industries independent of the
railroads and especially in the steel
trade. He asserted, however, that ex-
perts had agreed that steel conditions
were improving.
The president flatly refused to dis
cuss Mexico.
President Wilson ended the confer.
ence with the declaration that the com
pleted federal reserve board would not
he nominated until Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo returned to Washing
ton.

Washington, June Without dis
senting vote the house this Afternoon

antitrust bill to exempt labor unions
from action under the terms of tht
Sherman law. There were 2O1 af
firmstive votes on the administration
compromise committee amendment.

Engines When He Saw
Crash Coming

Montreal, June Preliminary stepi
had already been taken here today fol +
a searching investigation into the Emp
ress of Ireland disaster, in which near
ly 1000 lives were lost in the St. Law.
renee off Father Point early Friday:
The initial steps were taken by capI
tain Lindsey, Canadian wreck com
missioner, as prelude to fuller in,
quiry by royal commission. This
body, consisting Of two judges Of. the 1
admiralty court and a representative
of the British board of trade, win rem.
der a final decision.
George Vaux will appear for the I'M
perial authorities before the final trib-|
'unal. He has already sailed from Eng
land and is due here June 8.
Will Take Evidence.
In the meantime Lindsey win take|
the evidence of Captains Kendall and|
Andersen, commanders respectively of
the Empress of Ireland and the Stors-
tad, of the members of their crews and|
of all the surviving passengers he can|
reach.
The authorities want especially toI
account for the wide discrepancy be-
tween the stories told by Captains Ken
dali and Andersen.
According to Captain Kendall's ac.
count, the vessels we're two miles apart
when he sighted the Storstad. Then
the fog closed down and the next he
saw of the collier was when, with his
own ship stationary, it loomed up q
ships length away and bearing
straight down on him. After the crash,
Kendall asserted, he implored the
Storstad's captain to keep full speed
ahead, that the hole in the Empress
side might remain plugged and its pas
sengers given more time to take to the
boats.
Capt. Anderson's Version.
Captain Andersen s version, given
out last night, was that when the fog
hid the two vessels from one another,
their courses were such that they
would have passed safely. He kept the
StOrstad IS course unaltered he said,
but little later he sighted the Emp
ress through the mist, close at hand on
the Golfers port bow, and "making
considerable headway."
He asserted that he had reversed his
engines and nearly stopped the stors-
tad when it struck the Empress. Aft
er that, he declared, he ordered his en-.
gines ahead to hold his ship against the
liners side, but the latter's headway
wrenched its bows clear. Though the
Storstad itself was in danger of sink
ing, he said he remained as near the
scene of the collision as was consistent
with the safety of the hundreds strug.
Cling in the water, launched all his
boats and picked up about $50 of the
Empress passengers and crew.

Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1914-05-29

Those mysterious railroad locaters
ing stealthily through the brush near
tie city, but who persistently re-
fused to divulge their nefarious
schemes, thereby convicting them
selves of being advance guards of
the Omaha railroad, have faded away
into thin air as creatures of the i'm
aginatiOn have a habit of doing, but
recent events give good reason to
believe that the day is not far dis
tant when the Omaha will build
through Ladysmith.-Journal.
The Journals article on the rail
road proposition last week would
have been just as effective and far
more correct if it had not prefaced
it with the ISLAM" at the News-Bud-
get quoted above. However, it seems
to be the Journals policy to take a
dig at something every week, posi-
bly, thinking in that way to fill space
and distract it's readers attention so
they will be less likely to notice any
paucity of news. We will say that
the article in the News-Budget that
the Journal endeavors to belittle was
absolutely in accord with the facts.
We did not state that the locaters
were advance guards of the Oma-
ha," although that is the conclusion
We drew from the facts.
That conclusion may have been
wrong, and further no railroad is be-
ing built as yet, but we venture the
assertion that if the Omaha does
build to Ladysmith it will turn out
that they will come in to the city
where the 'locaters We're working.
The substance of the Journals ar
ticle is this: The News-Budget's re-
cent article on the railroad PROPOSE
ton, which we had no mention Of
was merely a myth, a creature of
fevered imagination, while now, two
weeks later, there is quite a chance
that the Omaha may build to Lady
smith The News-Budget must have
stumbled onto a rare coincidence or
be remarkably good guesser.

The matter of the abolition of the
Rusk County Training School for
teachers at Ladysmith, drew forth
comments from all the papers of the
county last week. We do not look
to see the school abolished, and if
it were put to vote of the people
of the county, we do not think it
would be abolished. There is feel
ing however, that with it's forty pu-
pills enrolled, the school is not worth
what it is costing, and that in some
way its work should be enlarged and
extended to justify it's existence.
However the action of the County
Board in it's last meeting of appoint
ing a committee to investigate the
matter and leaving the future of the
school unsettled leaves things in bad
shape. The teachers do not know if
they will have employment there the
coming year or not, and would be
justified in accepting work some

That doesn't mean that We are in
accord with all that President
Wilson has done. No one can deny
that the cost of production is greater
at home tkcn abroad and we still
believe in the Republican doctrine
that the American manufacturer is
entitled to the protection of a tariff
equal to the difference in that cost.
The republican party was too long in
the hands of the standpatters who
refused to remedy what was pro-
hibitive, instead of protective, tar
iff, and when the people of the ma
ton would rot stand for it any long
er they had but one alternative, the
democratic party, who went to the
opposite extreme.
With American labor protected
with such restrictions on immigra-
ton that exist today, that have
closed the doors of America, "the
land of the free" to the dOwn-trod-
den and prosecuted of other lands
unless they possess stake" that
those who heed a haven the most
never could acquire, it is no more
than just that the manufacturer be
given a reasonable tariff production.
Without it, he cannot long continue
to pay existing wages and keep on
doing business in the face of compe-
tition from abroad that has free ac-
cess to our markets.
