A ISSUE

The Republican managers are preparing to make a campaign issue
OF President Wilson's action in preventing a railroad strike. 1t is al
issue that the president ought o welcome.
The presidents strike-setuement plan comprises these measures
which were defined in his address to congress-:
l. Immediate provision for the enlargement Of the Interstate Com
mcrce commission to meet its duties.
2 An eight hour day as the legal basis OF work and wages for train
operatives.
:. The appointment OF a commission to observe the actual workings
OF the eight hour day and report the facts to congress.
A. Authorizing the Interstate Commerce commission to take wages
:. Provision for compulsory public investigation of labor disputes in
g. Lodging in the hands of the president power o operate railroads
in cas- OF military necessity and to draft train crews and administrative
officials for that purpose.
Owing to legislative conditions in Washington, congress passed only
the second and third of the presidents recommendations and provided
that the commission to be appointed should report in no. less than six
months or more than nine months after the eight hour day wen into
effect, January l. 1917. But the rcto of the presidents program is bound
to become the most important work ofc congress in its XXI session. The
enactment OF the emergency legislation has furnished a breathing spell
for the full consideration that is necessary.
What do Mr.. Hughes and his reactionary Republican managers pur-
pose to do with their 'issue?'
Will they pledge themselves to repal the eight hour day o March
), 1917, and force general railroad strike?
Will they pledge themselves to oppose compulsory public investga-
tons OF railroad labor disputes before a strike or a lockout a be de-
cared?
it "a before the president grappled with it, and thereby put the Amei
a people at. the mercy OF the railroad unions and the railroads presi-
dents?
No doubt Wall Street wants Mr. Hughes and his Bourbon managers
to fight the presidents program, and Wall Street pays the Republican
freight. The president a we'll afford to encourage them. There is nc
better court OF arbitration OF an issue of that kind than the American
people.

WILSON NOT PLAYING POLITICS

President Underwood OF the Erie railroad has repudiated in an N-
terview published in the Milwaukee Journal and made public at Demo
cratic National headquarters in New York the early part of the week, the
charge that President Wilson "played politics. in the railroad strike set
Element.
The railroad chiefs o. the country were not opposed to the eight
hour day" said Mr. Underwood. There is a general feeling that the
eight hour day will come and ought to come. The Eight Hour Day law
will cost the Erie railroad $3MWlNO a year do not believe any add
tonal legislation is needed.
The Interstate Commerce commission an take care OF the rMse i'll
rate if any should be needed. If The commission could take Care OF both
wages and rates there would be no objection, because the commission is
unquestonaby honest and capable.
"Mr. Wilson, however, is not playing politics. He a doing what
he honestly believed was for the good OF the country. No n could
associate with Mr. Wilson Is the railroad men Of the country did during
these negotiations and charge Mr. Wilson with playing politics III any
way. Only some newspapers charged the president was working for
political effect"

CANNOT IMPROVE ON WILSON

One OF the latest college professors to declare himself in favor of the
reelection Of President Wilson is Frank ThIly of Cornell university,
who gives strong reasons or doing o His letter to the Woodrow Will
son Independent League containing these reasons is IS follows:
Il voted for Mr.. Hughes as governor and had Nc rcason to regret it.
At that time he a an independent and he had no concern with matte nal
issues in administering the affairs OF our state. During the present cam
pMgn, however, he seems 20 me to represent a type of Republcanism
which, had hoped, had done its worst on country. And he has said

my vote for Woodrow Wilson an hope that he will be reelected. I
am enclosing n small contributors; wish could make it larger"

That this sort of note is now in

unquestioned authority by the United

was this business that called the min

known that yesterday Lloyd George
conferred with tie minister of finance
