Decision is Protested

ment that the treaty granting naval
base rights to the United States in
Formosa Bay was unjust to Salvador,
three of the five South American re-

slider that the decision can affect the

WHO'S AFRAID? NOT HUGHES!

Language. might be called the enc.

courage. first, in the face, Of an audi
ence which had been manifestly
packed with hostile groups, and sec
ond. in the face Of situation which
others had only the same day shown
themselves to be afraid of.
Hughes held his ground against
the hostile demonstrations of the gal
leries, and compelled them to listen
to him.
Then. having forced their atten-
tion. he told them what he thought
OF recent demonstrations in the dem.
-ocratic congress. where reason had
given way to fear, and where legis-
lation without Investigation had been
forced from cowardly majority. en-
couraged in their poltroonery by
democratic president.
The reaction, even from the hostile
audience, was prompt and unmistak-
sble. From the country it has been
even more so. The thinking people
OF this land are of one mind over the
humiliation Of our legislative insti-
tutions during the consideration of
the so-called eight hour law. They
realize that much more is at stake in
procedure of that kind than can be
measured in the money cost Of
strike or in the hardships which
would follow strike. or in the ex-
-pense which the public must bear In
paying the increased cost of transpor-
tation which the legislation involves.
They realize that II such things are
possible now. and II such things are
permitted to occur again. there is no
hope for free institutions in this
country, and that legislation and ad-
ministration will henceforth be at the
mercy of whatever organized group
may see fit to menace congress.
They realize, too, that such things
would not have been possible now
/: but for the inexcusable interference
Of the president in the negotiations
between the railroad men and the
railroad managers. The president in
terfered from political cupidity in
the first place; and he permitted the
situation to get our of hand through
political cowardice.
Hughes has shown that he is pos
sessed by neither fear nor cupidity.

bears the brunt OF the burden and
pays the bill.

enactment. The bill was rushed
through both houses OF congress with

bate. II was rushed through under
duress. under the threat OF a great
railroad strike. Congress had no op-
portunity to exercise its discretion or
to say whether or not the demands OF
the brotherhoods are Just. Congress
cringed and crawled. debased itself,
humiliated the country, disregarded
the principle Of arbitration, discredit-
ed organized labor, and made no
permanent settlement OF the great
question at issue. Congress did, how
ever. establish precedent whereby
any class Of citizens-laboring, capi.
talistic. or other-may come here

situation involving the welfare of the
country, demand hasty and Improper

but rather upon The demands of some

shameful spectacle to see congress
thus violating the established tradI-
ton OF the country and the priceless
ideals handed down by our fathers.
II government Is to be a thing of
worth, 1t must not depart from fun
damental principles, even in the face
OF expediency. Had our fathers acted
the part OF towards and weaklings in
stead of holding to their cherished
ideals and convictions. there would
nave been no Declaration OF Inde-
pendence and no emancipation proc
lamation. In the hasty consideration
and enactment Of this bill there was
more concern. both here and at the
White House, over the result of the
next election than over the welfare OF
the hext generation.

The So-Caned 8-Hour Law

This position was reiterated at the
annual convention of the American
Federation Of Labor held in San
Francisco last November, and was
stoutly defended On the floor by Mr.
Samuel Gompers, president OF that
organization. While the railway
brotherhoods are not affiliated with
the American Federation Of Labor. II
is highly probable that the rank and
file of their members are Of the same
opinion. In permitting their chief
tains to take this question into poll
tics the brotherhoods have done the
cause OF labor incalcuable harm,
and in refusing to arbitrate their Diff
ferences with the railroads they have
struck down a principle which the
federal government has been trying
for years to establish. and which So
c;ety accepts as the most helpful and
equitable method of settling disputes
between capital and labor.
/ know hundreds of members of
the various brotherhoods. and many
Of them are among my warmest
personal friends. can not believe
that the rank and file of these splen-
did organizations approve Of the
methods employed to pass this bill.
The bill which congress has Just
passed is class legislation in that Il
recognizes less than 20 per cent OF
the railroad workers. The other 80

REMARKS OF
HON. CLIFTON n. McARTHCR
OF OREGON

VT oASEIuO~N
In the House Of Representatives, Mon.
day, September 4, 1915
Mr.. Speaker, there is nothing in
the so-called "eight-hour law" just
passed by congress that in anyway
limits days work to eight hours.
The measure in question merely pro-
vides for extra wages for certain
classes of railroad employees who may
work more than eight hours per day.
1t is therefore not an eight hour law.
but law for the. regulation of
wages. I am in sympathy with eight
hour legislation, as my record in the
legislature Of my own state shows.
but do not approve Of the measure
just passed nor Of the manner of its
passage. ! do not believe 1t is the
function of congress to legislate as to
the wages of employees other than
those in the government service. In
the passage of this law congress has
invaded new field, and has invited
all laborers whose products are ship
ped in interstate commerce to come
here and demand that their wages be
increased. We have let down the
bars for the admission of all kinds of
disputes between capital and labor.
We have created precedent that
will bring trouble not only to our
selves, but to future generations.
l hold to the belief that congress.
, in order to promote the general well
fare has the right to legislate as to
the length of hours that men may
work in moving trains in interstate
commerce, and / am ready and will
ing to consider such legislation upon
its merits, but not as a subterfnge
for something else. ! question the
{ authority of congress to fix wage
schedules, and venture the opinion
that the country does not approve of
the law just passed-even if it be the
means of averting the threatened
strike. Furthermore, am not sure
that the railroad employees themselves
desire to have congress fix the
amounts Of their compensation.
The American Federation of Labor,
at it's Philadelphia convention in
1914, adopted the following:
"The American Federation of La
Dor, as in the past, again declares
that the question of the regulation OF
wages and the hours of labor should
be undertaken through trade union
activity, and not to be made subjects
of laws through legislative enact
ment, excepting in SO far as such reg
ulations affect or govern the employ
ment Of women and minors. health
and morals, and employment by fed
eral, state or municipal government.
In other words, the forces OF or
ganized labor do not propose to sur
render the power to fix wage sched-
ules, but intend that 1t remain within
the jurisdiction OF the several unions.
