Deny Wire Influence.

A fiat denial was made that un-
settled conditions between the West
ern Union Telegraph Company and
it's employees had anything to do with
the Presidents action in providing for
an umpire for the War Labor Board.
In this connection it was pointed out
that the dispute in this instance had
been acted upon by Mr. Taft and Mr..
Walsh, and that they had given a
decision opposing the attitude of Pres
ident Carlton, of the Western Union,
and in favor of the employees demand
that they have the right to organize.
The President, therefore, it was
stated, was already in position to
exercise his powers of seizure to set
tie the dispute, if he felt that such
an act was necessary to provide for
the welfare Of the nation. 1t was also
felt that he had, already, the backing
of the War Labor Board in this case,
and did not need the support of an
umpire's decision.
Umpire's Post Important.
Mr.. Ford, or whoever is selected by
the National War Labor Board, will
find himself in the position of tremen-
dous power, as the President, in APP
proving the program of the War La
Dor Board, placed himself on record as
an advocate of the policy of a final
decision by an umpire by which not
only the joint chairman of the War
Labor Board, but employer and en-
ploye must abide In the event of
dispute which Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Walsh
cannot reconcile, the umpire's post
will be one of importance, second only
to the President, as the final ruling
will determine the War Labor policy
of the nation at war.
There are number of cases where
it is possible the War Labor Board
will find it impossible to agree on all
points. 1t is understood that the inn
minence of such differences of opinion
was one of the factors in bringing
about action at this time ON the part
of the President to obtain the selec-
tion of national arbiter to settle all
disputes between capital and labor
This question concerning the rela-
tions of labor and capital has been one
of the points which has involved end
less discussion in pre-war time. The
appointment of Ford as national ar
bitter would create most interesting
situation. 1t is believed that the Taft
Walsh Labor Board will act within
a short time, and even if Ford ran
for the Senatorship in Michigan next
fall and was elected, it thus provides
him first with the opportunity to have
a most important part in the shaping
of the American-war time program
as it affects the relations Of capital
and labor,

Ford Heads lJmpires
. Which Pleases Labor
President Names Ten Men
For ''Final Say-So to
War Labor Board

In naming ten men, any one of
whom he felt was fitted to decide the
merits of wartime labor disputes
which the National War Labor Board
might be unable to decide, President
Wilson placed the name of Henry Ford
at the head of the list.
The national agreement, accepted
by Representatives of capital and labor
provided that the National War La
Dor Board either should decide upon
the umpire or select him by lot from
ten men nominated by the president.
There were some who felt that little
doubt existed now that Ford would
be the unanimous selection.
Ten Men Selected to Umpire Labor
Disputes.
President Wilson announced these
citizens to act as umpires in contro-
versies which cannot be settled by the
National War Labor Board, headed by
William II. Taft and Frank p Walsh.
Henry Ford, of Detroit.
Matthew Hale, of Boston.
James Harry Covington, Of Wash

MINNESOTA
AUTOCRATS
Riding" Labor SavageIy,
Now Are Due for a
Smashing American
Lesson.

The announcement that the State
Federation of Labor in Minnesota has
decided to enter the political field and
contest for supremacy at the Novem-
Der elections will surprise no one ex-
cept the men responsible. They should
have expected such action, but prob
ably are the only ones who did not
And what has happened in Minnesota
probably will come in other states.
Minnesota for a long time has been
virtually in reign of terror. The
terrorism has been in the name of
law and order" as general war cry
with patriotism" as the foundation
None the less the state has been un-
der rule that is close to lynch law
Terror strikes from one end of the
state to the other. A popular revolt
was only matter of time Now it
has arrived.
Conditions in Minnesota for several
months have not been essentially diff
ferent from those which once brought
West Virginia and Colorado under fed
eral investigation. The exception is
that the terrorism in Minnesota has
been more widespread than in either
of the other states named. Laws have
been cast to the winds. The only
law recognized is the will of the
volunteer vigilantes operating in the
name of patriotism
The larger portion of the victims
almost all Of them-were men and
women of the working class. Their
lives have been one continual har-
rassment and unjust cruelties of re-
preston Legally citizens of a free
state and nation, the working class
men and women of Minnesota have
virtually been serfs or slaves. Every
act of their lives has been regulated
and ordered by the illegal authority

which, in West Virginia and Colorado,
usurped the civil power Now the
slaves have rebelled and are striking
a blow for liberty.
The name of patriotism has been
abused as it was in Arizona last
summer when some / 200 striking cop
per miners were driven at the point
of guns to stockade in the desert.
Patriotism was forced to stand meek
ly and carry the burden of unlawful
conduct which deprived citizens of
their privileges. Men who fought to
defend their wives and children were
declared traitors-as they were in
Minnesota.
Now the reaction has set in. What
the ultimate end will be no one can
say, Whatever the fate OF Mime
sofa and Arizona and other unlawful
commonwealths may be, the responsi-
bility lies heavily upon those who
desecrated the name of patriotism in
the interest of industrial enterprises
The Bourbon never learns, whether
in the feudal regions of Europe or the
isolated industrial sections of Amer
lea. The Bourbon mind thinks it car
resist the force of circumstances. II
believes it can turn aside the logic
and course of events and utilize the
reserve side for its own purposes.
The Bourbons of Minnesota learned
nothing from West Virginia, Colorado

states They believed they could crusi

class. The determination of that elias,
to fight for its life is the answer

PITIABLE CONDITIONS

Half the truth has never been told

those poor people, while it is gener-

Thorough government investigation, as
proposed by President Samuel Com
pers, of the American Federation of
Labor, and recommended to President
Wilson by Secretary Baker, will sat
isfy the common people. Such an in
vestigation will open the eyes of the
people of the United States, for the
truth has never been told about the
present condition down there. 1t seems
to be that there was maintained the
policy to "shut ones eyes" to the true
conditions If ships can be furnished

more than 100000 islanders drafted.
