LABOR HEADS CONFER WITH
WILSON ON 8-HOUR LAW
Brotherhood Chiefs Tell the President
They Welcome Him as Champion
u. S. Prepares for Battle.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Representa-
tive AdansOn, father of the eight-hour
law, after a conference with President
Wilson, announced that congress would
be asked to increase the interstate COM
merce commission from seven to nine
members. The purpose would be, he
said to bring wage disputes within the
scope of the commission.
The chiefs of the four big brother
hoods, Warren S. Stone, w. G. Lee,
L. E. Shepard and w. S. Carter were
leaving the White House as MI. Adam
son arrived. The leaders told PreSi-
dent Wilson they had come to offer
congratulations on his reelection and
assure him they felt safe with their
case in his hands.
The union leaders appeared to have
been pleased by the reception accord
ed by the president.
According to Representative Adam
son, an effort will be made to enact
the entire program suggested by PreSi-
dent Wilson to congress last August.
Mr.. AdamsOn, who is chairman of
the Interstate and foreign committees
Of the house, characterized the steps
taken to test the cOnstitutiOnality of
the eight-hOur law as "strike SUITS"
"The railroad executives are angry
because they did not get an increase
in freight rates." Mr.. AdamsOn de-
clared "Presdent Wilson never made
any such promise, but the high-priced
lawyers are now endeavoring to make
it appear that he did"
The department of justice took ac-
ton to defend the eight-hOur law. Kan
sas was selected as the battle ground.
Two assistants of the attorney general
started west to meet the attack on
the law, started by the Santa Fe and
Union Pacific.
The brotherhood heads said they had
been assured by Attorney General
Gregory that there would be no need
less delay in determining the constitu-
tionality Of the law.

TIE WINNING OF THE WEST

4 great deal of speculation is indulg
ed H. 10y newspaper writer's and others,
As to how Hughes lost California. But
is it not altogether profitless? The
chances are that Candidate Hughes
never had California to lose. 1t is al
together probable that President Wilson
had the Golden State won before the
campaign opened, by his fight against
monopoly in business and for justice
with a heart; by his wise and masterful
foreign policy; and by taking Franklin
X. Lane out of the west and making
him Secretary Of the Interior, to ad
minister that important branch of the
government with great ability and with
rectitude of conduct, in glorious con
trast to the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and
thievery under Ballinger. This is how
Wilson won the west.
Every presidential election is won by
the Independents. This year President
Wilson was the candidate not only of
the Independents, but also the candidate
of countless number of Republicans
to whom independent voting was a
strange thing. He never lost them. He
held nearly all the Independents, and
about one ont of every dozen Repubi
cans voted for him.
The west was won by Wilson's wise
and responsible leadership.

The reelection of President Wilson
ought to settle the undemocratic single
term proposition. This is what we in
tended to say in paragraph last week !;
but slip of the types made it read
third" term instead of single" term.
If it is the peoples right to elect pres
ident before he has been tried and has
made good, it certainly ought to be
their right to give him a vote of APP
prevail when he has been tried and has
made good. Mr. Wilson has made good
and the people have reelected him and
have given him great popular vote of
approval.
