Danbury Hatters' Case -

Danbury Hatters' Case - Hecklers
who try to embarrass Gov. Hughes by
shouting inquiries regarding the Dan
bury Hatters' case not only fail OF
their purpose but afford him an OPP
portunity to arouse the enthusiasm Of
his audience. When such a heckler
shouted at him in Philadelphia, What
about the Danbury Hatters caseT'
there were cries of put him out" but
Mr.. Hughes protested. 81 will gladly
answer him." he said, and then he
proceeded to explain that the Supreme
Court was never called upon after he
Lecame member of it, to pass upon
the facts in that case, that the facts
were decided by a jury, and that the
only point referred to the Supreme
Court after he became a member was
the purity legal question of whether
the Judge in the trial court had been
right in submitting the case to jury.
After explaining the question, Mr.
Hughes said, "Now l stand here to say
that whether as a Judge, or II elected,
as a resident, on any question coming
before me | should enforce the laws
of the land. And it will make no diff
ference whether the question is raised
by labor or raised by capital. If the

me the compliment of declaring l was
the best friend labor had ever had at

CFrom Our Regular Correspondent

For American Rlghts-Gov. Hughes
declaration in Philadelphia that I'VE
purpose to protect American lives on
land and sea-" and that eve do net
purpose to tolerate any improper In
terferencs with American property,
American mails or with legitimate
commercial intercourse. No American
who is exercising only American
rights shall be put on any blacklist by
any foreign nation" brought his au-
dience to its feet and ELECTED loud and
prolonged cheers. This declaration
following right on the heels Of the
sinking of various vessels by subma-
rines almost within sight of Presi-
dent Wilson's summer palace, was
taken by Mr.. Hughes hearers to have
direct reference thereto. Earlier In
his speech Mr. Hughes had pointed out
that the loss of American lives, includ-
ing many women and children on the
Lusitania had been a direct and ma
tural result of President Wilson's be-
ing too proud to fight, and OF his
persistent habit Of publicly saying
what he believed would promote his
personal popularity and privately do
ing quite the contrary, that his sup
porters might contend that he had
kept us out of war" When asked to
comment on the exploits of the sub
marines off Nantucket, Mr.. Hughes
declined, saying he could not discuss
current events because he was deter
mined to do nothing which would en-
barrass Mr.. Wilson in any effort he
might make to protect American
rights. MIR. Hughes further elected
wild enthusiasm when he declared, II
repeat in Philadelphia what ! said in
Milwaukee. We have no intrigues, no
unstated purposes, no covert under
standings of arrangements. We stand
four-square to the world, representing
the United States and its interests and
its interests alone, first, last and all
the time"

The Democratic Scandal-Although
somewhat obscured temporarily by the
U-boat attack on liners off the Allan
tic coast, the Democratic scandal in
volving an attempt by member Of the
Democratic National Finance Commit
tee, to hold up the postmasters Of the
country, to sand-bag them out of 10
per cent of their annual salaries in or
der to create a campaign fund to re-
elect President Wilson, will not down.
1t will be remembered that there has
been considerable scandal about the
abuse Of the civil service regarding
postmasters and that the Civil Ser
vice Reform League has never been
able to procure the facts, because Mr.
Wilson would not permit the Civil Ser
vice Commission to make them public.
The President of the Commission, Mr..
McIlhenny, of Louisiana, finally ad-
mitted that were the facts made public
they might lead to such criticism of
the administration as seriously TO EN-
barrass IT," But President Wilson's
power over the Commission has
proved potent to suppress the facts

Hughes narrates the incidents at Car

his audience if that was war or peace.

scorned us for our failure to protect

WHAT THE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY
DID TO AVERT STRIKE DISASTER

Before I consulted with them Uhe railroad executives and repre-
sentatWes of the employees) made myself acquainted with the
points at controversy.
The first thing I told both sides was that l stood for the eight
hour day. We believe in the eight hour day because a man does
better work within eight hours than he does in a more extended day.
L said to the railroad executives: You are asking that the result of
the eight hour day be predicted, and the prediction be arhnrated. The
reasonable thing to do is to grant the eight hour day, not because
the men demand it, but because it is right, and let m e get authority
from Congress to appoint a commission to observe the results and
report, in order that justice may be done the railroads in respect Of
the cost OF the experiment"
That was the proposal which they rejected and which Congress
put into law, a proposal which made to them before l conferred
with it, which urged upon them at every conference and which,
when the II side rejected and the other accepted, went to Con-
gross and asked Congress to enact. I did not ask either side
whether it suited them, and I requested my friends in Congress
not to ask either side whether it suited them. I learned before
the controversy began that the whole temper of the legislative
body was in favor of the eight hour day.
In the House of Representatives the plan was passed, was sane
toned by 4 vote which included seventy Republicans as against
ffty-four Republicans. In the Senate the Republican members held
a conference in which they determined to put no obstacle in the way
of the passage of the bill. Now this was because the proposal was
reasonable and was based upon right-From President Wilson's Speech
