This audience, gathered in the beau

that we did try hard and succeeded
to some degree in putting some stiff
enlng into the backbone of the people
of the countries which we visited to
stand behind their countries at least
until after the war was won.
We have come back to our country
more thoroughly American that ever;
more thoroughly convinced that our
people and our government stand out
as wonderful object lesson to the
peoples of the whole world
One of perhaps the greatest master
strokes of all that has been said dur
ing this war in the many wonderful
.utterances of our great President, was
the answer which he made in that very
brief note to Austria.
1t broke the backbone of their NOR
ale The hope was that labor would be
divided in the United States, that la
Dor would be divided in the other
Allied countries and that the Presi-
dent and the governments of our
Allied countries would be forced to
make a premature peace favorable
to Germany and to Austria.
Ours was the only force, the only
power left to save France and save
England. We were gratifed with
assurances of the same character, ex-
pressions of the same feeling of graf
itude and veneration, by the Cabinet
of Great Britain and that great dem
ocrat, Lloyd George.
We, in our land, expect to live our
own lives and work out our own prob
lens. AS a result Of this war there

and declaration adopted worthy Of
serious consideration in every line
and every word even now and for the
future, insisting upon conditions of
labor and freedom during any war
which may come or during the times
Of peace, if peace should prevail, upon
the basis of an American standard Of
life and work, American labor. Ameri-
can workers stood 100 per cent behind
the Government and the President of
the United States. l am quite conf
dent that as time goes on the utter
ances in this declaration will become
more and more important. | will not
read the declaration made by the Lon
don Inter-Allied Labor Conference of
September. | wish to call your atten-
tion to the fact that the American
labor mission proposed and the confer
ence adopted, not in the same words
but in the same sense and purpose and
meaning, the declaration of organized
labor of America of more than a year
and a half before.
That conference, which in secrecy
has declared its pacifsm, and some
other things, was held in executive
.or secret session, but at the demand
of our mission that conference in
which we participated was had with
the searchlight Of public opinion right
upon every delegate present.
We held that we could not be con-
sistant in denouncing secret diplom-
acy and at the same time hold execu-
tive, secret sessions ourselves. Wheth-
er they liked it or not, they voted
for open sessions. From that time
we knew that Americas position was
right and would be endorsed.
Had to Fight Bolsheyiki.
The condition which we found to
exist IN our Allied countries was some
thing to give us all concern. Every
attempt that we made was combatted
by the pro-Germans, by the propa-
gandists, by the pacifsts and by the
French and italian bolsheviki. The
socialist bolsheyiki press of those
countries endeavored to forestall
every move we made or planned.
In Italy, for instance, we were rep
| resented by this press as fakes and
frauds and ali that sort of thing,
that we We're not representing Ameri-
can labor, that we didn't speak for
Ithem nor in their name. Our answer
was, the difficulty with these people
is that whatever of a labor movement
exists there is usually dominated by
some professor, some failure in pro
fessional life who had got his fangs
into the labor movement and usually
poisoned it and destroyed it, that the
| American labor movement was com
posed of working men and working
women and that the men in the official
positions of our movement were the
men who had been taken from the
mine, from the shop, from the build
ing, and said, Nov, you don't build
any more, you don't make brick any
more; we want you to be our spokes-
man, or defender, our advocate +"
and that doesn't sit well in the crop of
the so-called intellectuals of England
or France or Italy or even in the Unit
ed States.

T'hirty-five union transfers in
Rock Island and more in Davenport
declared a strike this morning.
John Black, Rock Island team
ster, is the first man to be arrested
in connection with the walkout 1t
is charged he assaulted Joseph
jackson, who runs an express COM
pany in the city, at the Milwaukee
station at II O'clock this morning
Jackson, however, proved to be the
better man of the two and ended
the scrap in short notice Accord
ing to the police, Black threatened
Jackson with a knife.
Black was badly cut about the
head. He was partly intoxicated
when the affair took place and was
evidently looking for trouble. Jack
son runs his own express company
and hires no teamsters. Black was
scheduled to receive hearing this
afternoon.
The police have been asked to
watch the property of the Rock Is
land Transfer company and of the
Independent Express company dur
ing the strike. From each place
the transfers walked out in a body
this morning. The union men de-
mand that higher wages be paid to
