WHAT THEY SAID THEN

~ VERIFYING that Presi-
" dent Wilson is trying to
do at the peace confer
ence was embodied in the four
teen points Of his address to
congress Jan. 8, 1918. Even
his most virulent critics do not
pretend that his terms have
undergone any change. What
they are now resisting Is the
peace programme the president
proposed thirteen months ago.
But what was their attitude
then, when the issue Of the war
was still in the balance? Be
ginning with the Paris newspa-
pers, the Figaro, which is now
uncompromising in its attacks
on the presidents terms, said
of the fourteen points; "Presi-
dent Wilson, like Premier
Lloyd George, has given an adj
mirabIe expression of the con-
ditions essential to stable
peace which will make this
war a great movement for ci-
vilization instead of only a
monstrous sanguinary adven-
ture."
L'Homme Libre, Premier Gle
menceau's newspaper, rejoiced
that "Mr. Wilson's thought is
that Of the whole American
Nation" lie Petit Parisien
said Of the address that lit is
the finest piece of political lit
erature of our times. 1t lays
down the basis upon which the
world, after being rid of the
perpetual menace of armed
conflicts. may be reconstruct

Two days after the presi-
dents address, Paul Deschanel,
presiding at the reopening OF
the Chamber Of Deputies, de-
Ilivered an eloquent speech on
the war. According to the
press dispatches of that date,
"there was an ovation when M.

FIRST CLASH OF
PHONE FIGHT
EASILY QUIETED
State Manager Fooled in Attempt
to Intervens, Seeks Help
from Deputy Sheriff.

The first open conflict brought
about by the phone strike created
real excitement near the Central
Union Telephone company build
ing, 635 Eighteenth street, yester-
day afternoon.
The disturbance occurred at. the
east entrance to the building.
Two pickets of striking girl op-
orators accosted a girl who had
refused to walk out with them at
the time Of the strike. The COM
pany claimed that she was working
in the downstairs offices. while the
strikers said they had seen her
with the operators headset
through the upper window.
The strikers and a witness who
happened along said the girls were
trying to use moral ~suasion upon
the nonunion employee, who, it hap
pened. became frightened, thinking
that she was in danger.
At that time c. H. Rottger, state
manager Of the telephone COM

the strikers to desist from hold

to force her from the grasp of the
strikers, who said that they were
not really holding her but were

Manager Seeks Help.
When the state manager started
these tactics, two linemen, acting
as pickets, prepared to oppose the
telephone official with force if nee
essary.
Rottger Immediately withdrew
and sought help at the court house
Deputy Sheriff C. E. Willis accom-
panied the manager back Upon
arrival at the exchange, he asked
the girl in question where she
wanted to go. She said to work.
He then told her to walk in the
building.
The deputy intimated that the
strikers had gone too far. The
girls defied him to arrest them, be-
ing willing to testify as to their
actions, and also voiced their in
tentions of swearing out a warrant
for the arrest of J. H. Barlow,
traffic manager, who, they said,
had been running over them on
public property at the entrance of
the building. Barlow, it is said,
came running up to the exchange,
and, although seeing the girls in
his path, paid no attention to
them, almost striking one. Barlow
was fined a few weeks before for
operating company machine with
out chauffeur's license, transport
ing strike-breakers to and from
the building.
The strikers claim that the tele-
