Mr.. sOConnor defied the strikers to
deny that the proposal to submit the
question of wages and hours had by
them, through their unions, and
through the longshoremen's convention
at Baltimore, been put to arbitration
by unanimous agreement"
we went into the arbitration like
men," Mr.. O'Connor asserted, "and
even If We did not get all we wanted
we must abide by the decision of the
adjustment board. The reputation of

that You are not going to be misled

Glad to Shake Hand of Pe0- pie Who Stand Together in Common Purpose to Complete What Boys Did
 When They Went Oversea

On Board President Wilson's Special Train, September 10. To a crowd which surrounded his private car today at Man dan, N. D., President Wilson declared week of travel in the heart of the country had convinced him that the nation stands together for an interna- tional guarantee of peace.
 T am glad to get out to see the real folks" he said, ito feel the touch of their hands and know as I have come to know, how the nation stands to- gether in the common purpose to com plete what the boys did who carried their guns with them over sea.
 We may think that they finished that job but they will tell you they did not, that unless we see to it that peace is made secure they will have the job to do over again and we in the meantime will rest under constant apprehension that we may have to sacrifice the flower of our youth again.
 "The whole country has made up
 Its mind that that shall not hap
 pen; and presently. after . reasOn-
 able time is allowed for unneces-
 sary debate. we will get out of
 this period of doubt and unite the
 whole force and influence of the

 in lines of peace. And it will be

 thing that America ever did. She

 The speech was cheered by the crowd, which included many Indians. Then a woman called out: "Where is Mrs. Wilson?" and the others took up the cry consistently until the first lady of the land appeared. There were cheers for her and the President as the train pulled out.
 NO NIGHT ADDRESS At a number of other short stops during the day Mrs. Wilson came out on the rear platform to shake hands, but on the whole it was a day of rest, while his train sped westward across tho North Dakota plains. The only set speech during the day was at Bis marck, the state capital. during a two hour monday stop. and for the first time since he left Washington, a week ago. there was no night address. The presidential special picked up a second engine late today as it began to climb into the Rockies on one of the longest continuous pulls of its 10.000-mile journey. The next sched- uled stop after Bismarck was at Bill- ings, Mont, where the President will speak tomorrow
 Tomorrow night he will address a meeting at Helena, Mont.

NSAPPLAUDA ASFIRST MARCHES BY; THREE ARE KILLED N BOSTON RIOTING
Cavalrymen Charge Crowds and Machine Guns Used in Most Serious Disturbance Since Beginning of the POliceman's Strike

Boston, September 10.-Two men and a boy were killed to- night in turbulent riots grow ing out of the police strike. There were numerous injuries of a minor nature to members of mobs, police officers and state guardsmen.
 The most serious disturbances were in the vicinity of Scollay square and South Boston. Cavalrymen charged the crowds and a machine gun was used one man being killed and several wounded by its fire. At a late hour the mob was still uncontrolled.
 Property damage was slight com pared to that inflicted by the wild rampage of hoodlums last night
 One of the most serious clements in the complicated outlook was the pos sibllity of sympathetic strikes by labor unions which have declared their sup port of the policemens union. Like the patrolmen's organization, most of the unions are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. The state branch of the federation, at its annual convention in Greenfield today instructed all Boston unions to vote tomorrow night on the question of ac- tion to back up the policemen.
 Scollay square was thronged all day and well into the night The crowd early became riotous and cavalrymen were sent to disperse it.
 The mob surged in and out of the square. Shots were fired and an un- identified man was killed. woman was wounded in the arm, a middle aged volunteer policeman was so bad ly beaten up that he was removed to a hospital and three cavalrymen were hit over the head by bottles and other missiles and also were given hospital treatment After infantry reinforce ments arrived the square was finally cleared.
 FORGED TO FIRE
 The South Boston district, which was so turbulent last night. was consid- cred one of the worst danger spots, and large force of troops was thrown into there early tonight. For some l time they held in check the mobs of polyglot residents of the district, but late at night conditions were so alarm l ing that a machine gun crew was rushed out to assist them.
 So fierce was the resistance of the angry crowd to the efforts of the guardsmen to preserve some sort of 1 order that guns were leveled and the machine gun was put in position. All (COntiuued m pnr~ Twentvk
