LABOR and THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The President, In his recent mes
sage to congress, had some things
to say about labor. His words were
words of wisdom-words which
will find a hearty approval in the
ranks OF constructive labor.
Passion and a disregard for the
rights of others will have no place
In the counsels Of a free people,
Let us commend that thought to
the great steel interests, where in
western Pennsylvania they are
throwing the Constitution into the
discard and trying to make a dead
letter of free speech and the right
to organize.
Labor: will agree with the Presi-
dent that eve cannot hastily and
over night reyolutionize all the
processes of our economic life."
And with him it is firm in the be-
lief that 1--WE shall not do So"
Largely because of the constructive
policy Of the American Federation
of Labor, its steady insistence upon
democratic procedure and devotion
to the basic principles of American
life, 'The old strong fiber and
steady self.control are still there,
firm against violence or any dis
tempered action that would throw
their affairs into confusion.''
And then the President advises
against strikes. " +. strikes
undertaken at this time are sure to
make matters worse, not better

states fully and accurately the
cause Of the trouble. Working
men haven't been able to keep
their wages up with the cost of liv-
ing. The bread has been gou9ed
out of their mouths by profiteers, a
process than -. which civilization
knows none more hideous and
reprehensible!
The President says strikes are
the worst thing that can happen
now.
BY. far the greater number of
present strikes are strikes against
slow starvation. Practically all that
do not fall in this class are caused
by the Bourbon determination of
employers not to enter: into the
process OF collective bargaining
with their employees process
upon which the government long
ago placed the stamp of approval.
There is something Fundamental
and elemental -back Of the pres
ent wave Of big strikes. The presi-
dent points the way to a remedy.
1t is simple: Remove the cause!
There will be no strikes for
abuses that do not exist!
Labor will hope with deep earn
estness that the plea of the Presi-
dent will bring quick and deep re-
suits: Labor, with the President, is
for Americas great America in
which Justice is the first consid.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-Dis-
charged service men who let their

tho privilege Of reinstating their poll
cies within 1S; months without pay
ment- of: all: back premiums. :. under
an order issued by Secretary OF the

sailor and marine to continue govern
ment insurance after returning to
civil life., -:
The only requirement IS that the
man requesting reinstatement must
be IN as good health as at the time of
'discharge and must pay the: premium,
for the one month of grace in which
his insurance was continued after he
stopped payment and the premium
for the month in which, he requests
reinstatement.
The, reason for this requirement is
that the insured was protected by
having his policy continued in force
that month and if he had died his
dependents would have received the
face Of the policy, =.
War risk insurance officials say
that many service men have been de-
TERED from reinstating policies be-

Congressman Sims Says Rail-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28-Every
railroad solution so far presented, ex-
cept the Plumb plan, provides for a
6 per cent interest on the millions Of
dollars Of watered stock, declared
Congressman Sims, in a speech in an
open forum in this city.
The speaker said it: was out Of the
question for THE government to
guarantee interest on stock that rep
resents nothing but Niagara Of
water. He said most of this stock
was presented; to buyers of railroad
bonds as a. bonus, and if the govern
ment guaranteed interest charges on
this paper it would mean an annual
cost Of billion dollars a year to the
people because Of increased passen-
ger and freight rates.
While he has introduced a bill
which includes the Plumb plan, Con-
gresham Sims refused to commit
himself to this proposition. He lis a.
