The President submitted to us the
third proposition, to-wit Making II
a penal offense a criminal offense, for
man to strike during the investi-
cation. What is that but compulsory
arbitration? And yet. my friends,
say to you 1t is logical. The President
Is absolutely right. If you start in to
fixing wages by the government, the
government will see that these wages
are lived up to, and for that reason
should have voted against any fixing
of wage by any government tribunal
Of any kind whatever, because IL leads
inevitably to an enforcement of the
wage as the government fixes It,
The President said at Shadow Lawn
the other evening, and I have his
statement here upon the desk, that
when Congress met in December he
proposed to see that this provision
with reference to making it a criminal
offense to strike, and making the de-
cree of the tribunal a decree of the
Court, is carried into effect and made
a part of the law.
/ don't know how you think
about Ii. i want to say to you
that / am inst as much opposed
to compulsory arbitration as / was
opposed to the government Of the
United States fixing the wages,
and If the working men OF this
country are entering upon the
proposition of the government fix
ing the wages, either through
Congress or a tribunal, they will
take the next step which the
President of the United States has
outlined in his message to Con-
gress.
In the first place. therefore, it
Is not an eight-hour day. but
wage question. In the second
place, it is fixing the wage by
Congress. which in my judgment
is dangerous. In the third place.
ii leads to compulsory arbitra-
ton. In the fourth place, COM
pulsOry arbitration leads to inyol-
untary servitude. all of which Is
un-American and contrary to the
best interests OF the working men
of this country. (Applause.)
But, my friends, this law ex-
pires of its own force a few
months after the election Why
should it be necessary, if you are
establishing a principle as an
eight-hour day. a principle of hu-
mainly or justice, as an eight
hour day, for 1t to expire in a few
months. Will it be any less an
act of justice or humanity in nine
months as it is now? You will
be precisely in a year from now
where you were at the beginning,
with this exception, that you will .
have established the precedent of
a government fixing wages, which

FL PASO, April l5-A report on the Parral clash was sent through here today to Washington Dy Consul LetCher of Chihuahua. q copy being also sent to General Funston Government off cials here who saw this report refused to discuss it. It was intimated, how ever, that the number of American dead was not over five while one hundred MeXicans were either dead or wounded.
 Two private messages received here today from Parral served to allay in some degree the apprehension which has grown steadily deeper with every hours continued silence on the part of general Funston and Washington.
 One message was received by an Englishman with large mining inter ests in Parral IL was from his wife and merely said his family was well and that there was no cause for worry.

COLUMBUS. x. M.. April 15.-Mil- itary reports reaching Columbus to- night tell of quiet prevailing along the American line of communication be- tween here and Casas Grandes Gen era Arnulfo Gomez command, the whereabouts of which had puzzled in telligence officers, was located today but nothing contained in the dispatches was revealed other than the Mexican forces are not advancing in such way as might menace the supply route.
 It was admitted here that all pre- cautionary steps ordered by General Funston to guard the line, and meet any eventuality have been taken and de- tachments at Boca Grande, Espia, and Ascension have been reinforced. A new quota of rumors that a truck train had been fired upon north of Casas Gran des was discredited generally.
 But the increasing confidence else where brought no relaxation in the pre- cautionary measures at the base. Sol diers were under orders to be prepared to move south at d moments notice and heavy guard was maintained.
 Trucks. with drivers, stood in readi- ness to carry troops rapidly to any threatened point.
 For the first time in several days communications were received here over the army wireless from General Pershing, but the contents of the mes sages were not revealed here it was in dicated that they did not contain an official version of the clash between American troops and MeXicans at Par ral last Wednesday.

 The United States government

 than the troops already have
 proceeded.
