HUGHES II()..jy:o ISSUE:
Oh EIGHT HOUR LII.!!''
Attacks Wilson's P|an but Won't
Tell Public What He Would
Have Done.
ONLY WAY TO AVERT STRIKE
Republican Nominee Is Asked to De-
clare If He Would Have Vetoed the
Bill With Certain Assurance Of
Industrial Disaster.

So busy has been Charles E.
Hughes criticising the deeds of the
Wilson Administration that he has
had little time, or has purposely
evaded, telling the public what he
would have done had he been Presi-
dent under similar circumstances.
Lately Mr.. Hughes has turned his
attacks upon President Wilson's sue
cessful settlement of the crisis in the
railroad world by causing to be
passed by Congress the Adamson
eight-hour bill. Mr. Hughes has char
acterized this action as q "surren-
der to force; he is opposed to being
dictated to by any power on earth
before the facts are known; and he
would not act until he had had fair
investigation and candid treatment"
Taking issue with the Republican
candidates attitude the New York
Times, in an editorial, asks:
WHAT WOULD MIR. HUGHES
HAVE DONE!
''Well, what way would Mr.. Hughes
have taken?" continues the Times
"What would he have done? Here
was Mr.. Wilson's position: The
brotherhood refused arbitration, the
railroad presidents would not accept
the settlement Mr.. Wilson proposed,
granting the eight-hour standard day
with provision for an impartial inquiry
into it's working. There was no law
on the statute books to enforce arb-
tration.
THE President knew, knew with
certainty and beyond question. that
he could not get such q law from the
Congress now in session. The sure
and inevitable alternative 70 his &C.
ceptance of the eight-hour standard
day measure was q strike, the sus-
pension of railway service, freight and
passenger, all over the country, be-
ginning on the morning of Sept 4th
WOULD HUGHES HAVE DONE 1T?
Mr.. Hughes would not surrender
to anybody in the country Then he
would have surrendered the country
to the disturbance, unreasonable loss
and peril Of strike. Would he, il
fact, have done that? Had he beer
President, confronted by that situa
ton, would Mr.. Hughes have brought
on strike bv refu&inr 20

bill granting a wage increase? There
was the strike in plain sight, few
hours away, sure to come. Would Mr..
Hughes have vetoed the bill? On the
contrary, would he not have done just
what Mr.. Wilson did, sign it?
THE Republican candidate stands
for two things: First, for the prin-
cipe of fair, impartial, thorough, can
did. arbitration; and second, for
legislation on facts according to the
necessities of the case MIR. Wilson
stands for those two things and, nnuc,,
more, has pledged himself to use all
his influence to secure them.
what more could Mr.. Hughes do:
Would it be too much to ask the Re
publican candidate to put a little com
mon fairness into his speeches? Is
he afraid to tell his audiences what
the President actually did urge upon
Congress?
LAS q true champion of arbitration,
President Wilson recommended that
arbitration judgments be made rec
ords of court Of law, in order that

may not lie with the parties to the
dispute, but with an impartial and
authoritative tribunal It was his
purpose in this recommendation to
provide against future emergencies
to prevent the recurrence of such
dangers as then confronted him and
the country.
ADVICE TO RAILROADS.
1.-THE people Of the United States
are not going to be put off with the
misinformation as to what the Presi-
dent did to avert 4 strike and to pre-
vent the threat of future strikes. We
have reason to believe that the full
revelation of what he did, what he

AN AN7I-CAMPAIGN?

AS candidate MI. Hughes has not
yet come up to expectations. The
trouble is that he has not yet told the
American people positively and con-
creteIy just what he proposes to do
it elected President. The American
people want to know what construc-
tive program MIR. Hughes has to offer
them. They demand of leader a
demonstration of leadership There
is a serious danger that the Repub-
lican candidate may become an "anti."

be an anti-anything.--The IndepeD
