ARBITRATION AND STRIKES

/ The eight-hour day bill passed b,
Congress in the closing hours of las
weeks sitting, at the suggestion Of
President Wilson, succeeded in stop
ping the threatened general strike Of
railroad brotherhood employees. II
was an emergency measure, passed
hastily without the careful considera-
ton that so important a piece of leg
lslation should have had, nor did ii
embrace|all the suggestions or rec
concentrations presented to Congress
by the President, but it had the de-
sired effect. Immediately upon its
passage the strike, which had already
been ordered to begin on September
4th, was called off, and disastrous
condition such as the business Of our
country has never known has been
side-tracked, for the present at least.
1t has been suggested that Con-
rgess permitted itself to be SHIELD
up" and dictated to by the railroad
brotherhoods and forced to yield to
their demands. This is hardly fair. and
only in slight way did they get
what they were contending for-the
elght-hour day--a principle that
Congress had already applied to all
employees of the government. But
Congress faced condition that had
to be met at once. Quick action was
necessary, and the administration and
Congress rose to the requirements of
the hour. 1t is gratifying to know
that their action had the effect in
tended.
The more important issues, the
threatening danger to the public al
ways existing because of these re-
conflicts between capital and
abor, have not been met. The atten,
non Of the public has only been called

er before, and the n&essity of pro-

WILSON OR HUGHES2
The Record Should Tell the Story
BY Hon. j. b. Kelley

Woodrow Wilson has been president
OF the United States nearly three years
ana eight months. Judge Hughes was
governor of New Y ork for about the
same length of time. Each has made
his record Of achievement; upon that
record each mast stand or fail.
Judge Hughes made the statement
in his Milwaukee speech that a major
ity of the laws enacted by the Wilson
administration ought to be repealed.
Mr.. Voter, as we go down the Wilson
repealed.
Is it the Federal Reserve Act, the
bill that took the parse strings Of the
country out of the hands of Wall
Street, that forever took the power to
make panics out of these hands, and
that gives the country an elastic and
sufficient currency?
Or is it the Rural Credit Act, a bill
that will give the farmers cheaper
money and make money in general
easier?
Or the Child Labor Act. that prevents
Greed from coming childhood s years
into dollars?
Or the Alaskan Railway bill, which
will enable the people of this country
to reach the coal beds in that territory
without paying tribute to plundering
corporations?
Or the Good Roads bill, which appro-
priated 50 million dollars for the better
ment of country roads?
Or the Tariff Commission bill, that
will give you the exact facts about the
tariff where need of it exists if such
there be, and where often it enters the
domain of robbery through the arts of
greedy manufacturers and servile poll
ticians?
Or the Federal Commission bill, the
the purpose of which is to expose all
unfair dealing by corporations with the
general public?
Or the Government Merchant Mar
inc bill, which had it been in operation
the past year would have saved the
farmers on export rates on grain be-
tween New York and Liverpool about
300 million dollars?
Or the bill for an Armour Plate fac
tory appropriation eight millions) to
stop the robberies of the steel trust,
that charged the government scme
years ago $4,000 per ton for armour
plate and sold the same kind to the
Russian government for S255 90 per
ton.
Or, finally, is it Eight Hour bill that
you would have repealed? or the recent
revenue bill? The former is step in
the right direction and saved this ceun-
try from conditions too dreadful to corr
template. The latter. the revenue bill,
is one of the very great constructive
measures of the Wilson administration.
More than one billion dollars will have
to be raised for an increase in the army,
tho small increase, and the enlarge
ment of the navy. The extra expense
for this will be about 24O millions an

PRESIDENT LoVETT ON WILSON

For a generation the republicans
have been tinkering with the bank
ing and currency question, but Will
son settled il and settled it so eifectu-
ally and wisely ttiat his most reck less
critics are silenced upon the suhject
The Federal Reserve act was pecui-
arIy Wilson's personal work. There
was no political sentiment for it, or
even agitation, except in banking
circles. 1t had been little discussed
in the campaign. The Aldrich COM
mission had made it's report and it
had been duly pigeonholed. If either
Taft or Roosevelt had been elected
the subject would haYe been resur-
rected only in most perfunctory
way, if at all, for congress clearly
was not interested. But Wilson at
once made it the paramount purpose
and policy of his administration and
put his whole power and influence
behind it,and literally drove congress
to the task until it was accomplished.
