Wilson and LabOr.-The Repub-
ltcan campaign managers appear to
have most irritating memory. This
has displayed itself recently in their
citation of Woodrow Wilson's views
OF organized labor. the views enter
tanned before he was candidate for
reelection. One of the quotations
they are distributing is from Mr..
wilson's address delivered at Prince
ton, June 30, 1909. when he said, in
part You know what the usual
standard of the employee is in our
day. 1t is to give as little as he may
Tor his wages. Labor is standardized
by the trade unions and this is the
standard to which it is made to con-
form. No one is suffered to do more
than the average woman can do. In
some trades and handicrarts no one
is suffered 10 to do more than the
least skillful of his fellows can do
within the hours allotted to days
labor. and no one can work out of
hours at all or volunteer anything
beyond the minimum. need not
point out how economical disas-
trous such a regulation of labor is.
1t is SO Improbable to the employer
that In some trades 1t will presently
not be worth his while to attempt
anything at ALL"

MIR. Wilson'S RenSoning.-In his
first speech in defense of the Wilson
Adamson wage increase bill, Presi-
dent Wilson declared that the CON
lrovcrsy was simple indeed, that 1t
involved a question OF wage increase
and question OF the elght-hour day.
Il do not regard the question of the
principle of the eight-hour day as
admirable" he asserted. But, he
said, the question OF an increase of
wages is arbitrable. MIR. Wilson
made no attempt to explain, however.
how II was that holding the view
that the question of the eight
hour day was not. and that the
question of an increase OF wages was
arbitrable. he proceeded to have Con-
gress pass a law which Increased
wages from twenty to twenty-five per
cent and which does not accomplish
the eiGht-hour day. or affect In any
way the length of time railway en-
ploycs shall labor. Mr.. Wilson said,
labor is not commodity" And
then he went on to cite the eighty
cent gas case" which was decided by
the supreme court, gas being. or
course, a commodity. and the decision
is in no way pertinent to the railway
controversy. Moreover. he grossly
misrepresented the decision.

The National View

Carranza Tells Truth General"
Carranza has furnished TO the press
copy of communication he has adj
dressed to the governors of the va
I1ous Mexican states in which heacon-
hrIhs the accuracy Of these dispatches
regarding the New London confer
ence. Carranza gets mixed up re-
Garding the political parties, II Is
true, and charges that the Republi-
can papers have been misrepresent-
ing the New London conference, but
ne goes on to say, II assure you that
lhc Mexican commissioners are fol-
lowing my instructions and are only
discussing the withdrawal OF Ameri-
can troops from our national terri
tory" That IL precisely what has
been asserted in these dispatches and
what the Republican press generally
mas asserted. II is the Democratic
papers, publishing reports inspired
by tho Wilson administration, which
nave asserted that the internal af-
ialrs OF Mexico were being discussed,
that broad program for rehabill.
tating Mexico were being discussed
ana effcctlng the reforms of which
the unfortunate republic is so sorcly
IN need, has been under discussion.
once more Carranza confounds his
benefactor, Woodrow Wilson, and
makes perfectly clear what critics of
the administration have all along as
serted. that the Mexicans as repre-
scented by Cnrranza will not brook
any interference by Mr.. Wilson and
that the New London conference is
merely subterfuge to tide over the
Mexican situation until after the cleo
ton.
