"Can Be Settled Right"

Il believe there is no grievance with
respect to labor, he said. that cannot
be settled by a fair. candid legislation
on the facts.
We have in the past had to deal
frequently with the opposition of en-
ployes to the principle of arbitration
Sometimes they have refused to arbi-
trate disputes. Public opinion has
been against them. stand here firmly
for the principle of arbitration, Of in
dustrial disputes and 1 would not sur
render it to anybody in the country.
Il believe that anything that is
right in this country can be settled
right. What is our Republican govern
ment? What are our free institutions .
We have come down the long course of
history with the people fighting slow
ly. slowly-now with defeat and now
with victory-for a recognition of the
reign of reason instead of the reign
of tyranny and force.
Now. then, l stand for two things:
First, for the principle of fair, impartial
thorough, candid arbitration; and. second,
for legislation on facts according to the
necessities of the case And I am on
posed to being dictated to either in the
executive department of Congress by any
power on earth before the facts are
known.
The Honest Course
we have a great country and a great
future. But 1t can only be preserved in
one way. That way is the way of all
honest. fair investigation and candid
treatment. Show me the way that Is
right and 1 will take It: but l won't take
any way that l do not know anything
about

the audience waited in silence.
Il shall not forget the warmth Of
the welcome Of this vociferous meet
ing" Mr.. Hughes said, smiling. and
the audience applauded. He added that
what he had to say was to be said
good naturedly." at a time that the
American people were taking stock.
Then he outlined his views on Ameri-

the war ends, and the doctrine Of a
J protective tariff. He was interrupted
