out this contrast in an edltoriai en-
titled "President Wilson's Lost Oppor-

calls attention to a baccalaureate al

Arbitration Brushed Aside.
The editorial says:
"President Wilson has permitted the
brotherhoods to directly slap IN the
face all of his suggestions on that SUP
iect and utterly disregard his plea lor
arbitration. An advocate for arDltra-
ton in the settlement of such disputes
he has permitted the railroad men 70
brush aside, apparently without mo.
ment's consideration, the justice OF
arbitration and simply say we. VIII
arbitrate nothing except the things
which are not material and we Will

questions at issue
"That President Wilson, even in the
face of a political campaign should
have yielded and made his hat-footed
demand upon the railroads that they
should disregard arbitration because
the men said they would not arbitrate,
and give to the men practically every
essential thing they demanded, seems
almost incomprehensible."
The Republican campaign leaders
also found the following in a speech
by Mr. Wilson at the Waldorf-Astoria
on March Is. 1907:
ave speak too exclusively Of the
capitalist class. There is another as
formidable an enemy 10 equality and
freedom Of equality as it, and that It is
