Nothing could more clearly show
the fundamental difference between
President Wilson and Mr.. Hughes
than did the Republican candidates
discussion Of the so-called eight-hour
law with hecklers at Sioux City.
That difference is precisely the diff
ference between a man who surren-
dered and a man who refuses TO sur
render to anything but facts ascer-
tained after complete investigation.
President Wilson accepted the
statement Of the brotherhood chiefs
that they would not submit their case
to arbitration. He thereupOn made
himself their advocate in their de-
mand for ten hOusr' pay for eight
hours work. When the railroad
executives refused to comply with
the demand, he recommended legisla-
tion which forced compliance, and
Congress surrendered as he had
done.
The President legislated first and
provided for investigation afterward.
For better or worse. that law is a
part Of the statutes. and, as Mr..
Hughes pointed out, there is no pos
sibility Of its repeal before it has
run its course and the belated inves
tigatiOn has been conducted. No mat
ter what the investigation may show,
the members of the brotherhoods will
have had their raise in pay for sew
eral months. Then the question will
be reopened. If the report shows
the raise TO be unjustifed at the
present income of the railroads, the
country will have to face the pros
pect OF another general strike. or
agree to a raise in freight rates 10

uing this raise to the brotherhoods

Anothr group of railroad men
10000 strong, belonging to those
brotherboods which are to benefit
bv the new law-are now protesting
because the President surrendered 10
force instead of conducting an IN
vestigation. Their contentious are,
of course. wholly selfish, as are those
of each group in the controversy.
They protest because they think they
have discovered the law to be so
crude and slipshod piece of legisla-
ton as to enable railroad companies
to abrogate many privileges which
their employees now enjoy. privileges
which the railroads, strictly observ-
ing the law fixing a rate Of pay, may
vet be able to withhold.
In addition, farmers all over the
country are up in arms over the pas
sage of this legislation. They insist
that the raise in wages Of the broth
erhood members will come out of the
pockets of the shippers, and will thus
hit the farmers directly Thus It is
manifest that whatever the opinion OF
society on the eight-hour workday,
society in this land of the free is by
no means unanimously in favor of
