PRESIDENT WILSON
OPPOSED TO STRIKES
Suggests Remedial Legislation
Against Attacks Of Organized
Labor

President Woodrow Wilson in
his address before the joint ses-
sion of Congress at the December
term outspoken in his opposition
to strikes and the attacks of
organized labor upon the coun-
try's industrial institutions.
In touching upon the railroad
phase of the question he says:
THE country cannot and should
not consent to remain any longer
exposed to profoundindustria dis
turbances for lack of additional
means arbitration and Cancellation
which the congress can easily and
promptly supply.
Il would hesitate to RECON-
mend, and dare say the congress
would hesitate to act upon the
suggestion should | make it, that
any man in any occunation should
be obliged by law to continue in
an employment which he desired
to leave. To pass law which
forbade or prevented the individ-
ual workman to leave his work
before receiving the approval Of
society in doing so would be to
adopt a new principle into our
Jurisprudence which | take it
for granted we are not prepared
to intooduce. But the proposal
that the operation of the rail-
ways of the country shall not be
stopped or interrupted by the
concerted action of organized
bodies of men until a public in
vestigation shall have been insti-
tuted which.shall make the whole
question at issue plain for the
judgement of the opinion of the
nation is not to propose any such
principle. 1t is based upon the
very different principle that the
concerted action Of powerful
bodies of men shall not be per-
mitted to stop industrial process
es of the nation, at any rate be-
fore the nation shall have had an
opportunity to acquaint itself
with the merits of the case as
between employee and employer,
time to form its opinion upon an
impartial statement of.the merits,
and opportunity to consider all
practicable means of cancellation
and arbitration. 1t can and should
be done with a full and scrupulous
regard for the interests and liber-
ties of all concerned as we'll as
for the permanent interests of
society itself. -

DOGS AND HOT WEATHER.

Did you ever stop to consider that
while you are sweltering in the tor
rid heat of the dog days" you have at
your hand all kinds of means to aIlay
your sufferings, but that your friend,
the dog. has none? Did you ever stop
to think that you are never placed in
such a position that you are unable to
get a cool drink Of water, or that you
can always find at hand an electric
fan, or that you can always dress in
keeping with the temperature?
But your friend the dog can do none
of these things. He is dressed in
clothing that he cannot discard at viii,
and he knows not the cooling breeZes
of the electric fan. He must pant and
bear it. He has no other recourse.
But we can, and should, make the
hot weather more bearable for our
canine friends, and all that is neCes-
sary is that we see TO it that they
have plenty of places where they may
get drink. By doing so we not only
allay the dogs sufferings from the
heat, but we go further and do our
selves a favor by eliminating a great
number of chances for dogs 10
contract cases of rabies. Hot weather
10 a dog is a terrible thing. It drives
him crazy and in his craze he invaria-
bly, attacks his best friend, man. An
attack from a dog suffering from rabies
is in it's turn terrible thing. No need
to 90 into detail. The occasions have
been too numerous in the past to make
it necessary to call any of them to
mind.
But just notice the poor dogs that
are running around the streets under
the blazing sun searching for a drink,
and they are searching in a general
rule, in vain. How simple it would be
to arrange it so that the dogs, as we'll
as the horses. could have drinking
fountains.
