Unpatriotic Profteering by
Business Men of America
Responsible Says the Sec
retary of Labor.
No Time for Labor to Insist
on Demands Not Obtained
Before the War and No
Time for Prejudices on the
Part Of Capital.

Atlantic City. N. j.. Sept. 2O.--Direct
responsibility for strikes and the spirit
of unrest in the ranks of labor since
the war began was placed on the
shoulders of unpatriotic profiteering of
American businessmen by Secretary of
Labor Wilson, today, addressing the
war convention of American business
with the United States chamber of
commerce.
Il have told labor" said Wilson,
that this is no time for them to in
sist on recognition of their unions, nor
to force changes of standards they
could not change in peace time; tina.
this program endangers the future lib
erty of our people.
NO TIME FOR PREJuDIcEs.
II now tell you American business
men, that this is no time to stand upon
your prejudices nor to Insist upon pro-
fiteering, as many of your members
have been doing. If you couldn't col
lect abnormal profits in normal times,
you shouldn't take advantage of nee
essities of your country in this time
OF crisis
because word has gone forth that the
iron and steel manufacturers are max
ing 200 to 400 per cent profit and that
shipping, mining and men of other in
dustries are making enormous profits.
CITES COAL INDUSTRY.
This feeling has been justified"
Wilson continued. MY investigation
of the coal industry in the eastern
states proved it in one of the many
instances because we found the pro-
ducers were extorting a five and six
dollar margin on coal.
You should welcome price fixing on
your products because it means O.
logical standard of pay for labor. Let
labor and yourselves find a ground
that is acceptable, If not satisfactory,
to insure the greatest amount of pro-
duction at the least cost in cash and
labor"
Alva A. Johnson, president of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, bitterly
attacked the Sherman antitrust law
as interfering with the work Of busi-
ness men in aiding the government in
winning the war.

AN ECONOMIC STRUGGLE.

Farrell, president of the United States
Steel Corporation, told the national
chamber of commerce war convention
delegates today.
The economic struggle began, he
said, when Won Kluck was repulsed ot

Formal Report on Condi-
tions in the New Democ-
racy Made to Secretary of
State Lansing.
Russian Ambassador De-
clares Army Is Now the
Strongest Bulwark Of Re
public-M Military Situation
Now Favorable.

Washington, Sept. 20.-That the
Russian republic may demand the re-
spect and confidence of the United
States more than ever before is the
purpose of a formal report by Ambas-
sador Bakhmetieff, to Secretary Ian
sing today. The outstanding feature
of the Russian statement to this gov
ernment are:
Russias future is secure.
Her army, considered an meal
culable factor before the Korniloff
revolt, Is now the strongest bull
wark or the republic.
The Bolsehviki party, favoring
immediate international peace ne
eotiations. has reached the zenith
of it's power after being tempor-
ariiy strengthened by concessions
from Kerensky during the recent
5risis.
The pan Russian soldiers and
workmens convention, in Petro-
grad Sunday will curtail Lenines
sudden assumption of powers
over the Petrograd council.
A more favorable military situa-
tion exists now than at any time
since korniloffs Inflated Galician
drive.
Absolute denial OF any demand
for separate peace between Rus
sia and Germany.
NO SEPARATE PEACE.
The Bolsheviki are for peace among
all nations-not a peace with Germany
alone. Reports emanating from Wash
Ington early this week that Russia was
talking separate peace were branded
at the embassy as malicious false
hoods" with pro German tinge."
That the recent revolt will be the
.ast serious opposition to the govern
ment is confidently predicted. Over
throw of the most popular military
leader in Russia" (Korniloff) will "un-
5oubtedly serve as a warning to Others
similarly inclined" it was stated al
:. the embassy today.
