WILSON IN PLEA
FOR LABOR PEACE
President Urges Calm Counsel in
Setting Disputes.
LABOR TEMPLE DEDICATED
suffraglst Interrupts Address at Cap.
ItaI--PolIoe Take Her From Stand
Executive Praises Section
of Clayton Act.

Washington, July 5.--President VIII
son dedicated "T0 Common Counsel
and Common Understanding a labor
temple ercted as the new home of the
American Federation Of Labor.
He told a large audience gathered
at the dedicatory exercises that tile
greatest barrier to industrial peace had
been the difficulty Of insuring candid
and dispassionate conference, and that
getting our fighting blood up" was
1.-THE long way and not the short way
of securing rights. e'' "'''''
@. Crowd AppIauds Speech. ...' ~"
Mr.. wilson's plea for calm counsel
brought repeated applause from the
crowd, which apparently interpreted it
as having an Indirect bearing on the
Mexican crisis. The president, how
ever, did not refer to Mexico or any
other foreign country by name.
'The way we generally strive for
rights" he said, rs by getting our
fighting blood up, and venture to say
that it Is the long way and not the
short. II you come at me with your
fists doubled, / think can promise you
that mine will double as fast as yours ;
but, if you come at me and say, Let us
sit down and take counsel together
and, If we differ with one another, un-
derstand why it is that we differ, just
what points are at issue we presently
will find that we are not so far apart
after oil; that the points in which we
differ are few and the points on which
we agree are many, and that, If we
only have the patience and the candor
and the desire to get together, we
shall get together"
Woman Interrupts Speech. "a.
The president scarcely had begun to
speak when the first interruption
came. The questioner, Miss Mabel
Vernon of the Woman's party, was
standing only a few feet from HIM
and when he declared that In his po.
sition he was not permitted to think
of any one class of persons, she
shouted: ...s.
''If you truly desire to serve oil
classes, why do yoH block the national
suffrage amendment now before con
gress? Four million women In this
country"
The White House secret service meT
made their way to Miss Vernon anC
quickly siIenced her. The city police
led her away from the speakers stand
She was not arrested.
The president apparently was undis
turbed by the incident.
Nothing that the president sale
aroused such enthusiasm as his praise
of that section of the Clayton act de
claring that labor is not commodity.

Unable to attend the union services
in the interests OF Penn college, Rev.
w. II. Perdew sent the following in
spring message:
Rochester. Minnesota,
June 20, 1916.
DR.. David M. Edwards,
Oskaloosa, Iowa,
| very much regret that circum-
stances which take me from the city
prevent my being present and taking
some humble part in the great Penn
Booster Meeting" on Sunday night in
my own church. .-.
It is to be sincerely hoped that the
good people of OskaIoosa and Mahas'
ka county shall appreciate the neces'
sity for very great effort and sacrifice
to save Penn college to this commun'
.ity, and to reestablish on much larg-
er and better basis the old school,
which has done so much for Christian
culture and better citizenship in the
past and which faces such unparallel'
ed opportunities for the training OF
the youth of the future.
May the campaign for $400,OOO.0O
in every way be successful, not only
in securing the full amount sought
for. but may God so bless the people
with such cooperating vision and he
rievoIenee that all the needs of the
school shall be abundantly provided
for.
Having Just come through little
campaign for our own Wesleyan col
lege, am in fullest sympathy and &C
cord with this movement for Penn
am an ardent advocate and defender
Of the smaller church college. There
are not too many such colleges dedi
Gated to the holy task of training VI
men and women in that atmosphere
created by proper emphasis upon
the principles of the Gospel OF the
Son of God, but there are too few pa
irons of such schools, people you car
rise above the ross materialism tc
appreciate the value of life above
living. .. ....... .s5,..
Oskaloosa can easier afford to lose
any combination of interests, com
mercial or material. than to lose
Penn college. Let us hope that oul
citizens see this to be true, as we be
lieve they will, and respond with thu
heroism of great sacrifice, If neces
sary, to make possible greater ant
a better Penn. ..ar
Yours for great success.
