President Makes Plans
for Labor Conference
in Capital Next Month

ON BOARD. president WILSON'S
SPECIAL TRAIN, September: IL (by
the Associated Press).-President Will
son devoted much of his time after
leaving Billings, Mont, en- route to
Helena to completion of arrangement
for the coming labor conference in
Washington early in October. The
first meeting probably will be held
October and Representatives oflabor
and those who employ labor will con-
slider domestic labor problems and the
existing unrest. Delegates arc expect
ed to be present representing leading
manufacturers, investment bankers.
agricultural organizations and labor.
Going through Montana today the
presidential party got its flrst glimpse
Of mountain peaks and buttes when
the train climbed more than 800 feet
from Billings to Helena through tho
Yellowstone valley. At Livingston the
train stopped to change engines and
a crowd, many of whom were chill
dren, was on hand to welcome the
President. -.
.I never saw SO many children In
nv life" the President laughingly
called out. "and they are all good
democrats"
One of the crowd replied: "Good!"
The President exclaimed: Il like to
see that"

people. So far as have been able to
learn they are following peaceful pnr-
suits. The bankers and the merchants
and the manufacturers did not want to
go into that war. They have said that
they were not consulted, but the mas
tiers of Germany were the general mil
itary staff. Not even the members OF
the reichstag were consulted by the
general military staff, and it was these
men who nearly brought a complete
cataclysm upon civilization itself. -..
q. S. Not Exhausted.
America has. if I may take the
liberty of saying so. greater in
terest in the prevention of that war
than any other nation. America is
less exhausted by war-she is not ex-
hausted at all-America has paid for
the war that has gone by less heavily
in proportion to her wealth than other
nations. America still has capital
capital enough for its own industries
and for the industries of the other
countries that have to build their in
dustrieS anew, and the next war would
have to be paid for in American blood
and American money. The nation of
all nations that is most interested to
prevent the recurrence of what has
already happened is the nation which
would assuredly have to bear the.
brunt of that great catastrophe. (Ap4s
plause) Who is. going to take care Of
the growth of, this nation? Who ~ go
ing to shape. the accumulation of
physical power of this nation, if you
choose to put it in that form? Who is
going to change the circumstances
that we largely feed the rest of the
world? Who is ,going to change the
circumstances that many of our re-
sources are unique and indispensable?
America is going to grow more and
more powerful. and the more powerful
she is the more inevitable it is that
she should be intrusted with the peace
of the world" ;<Applause.) !: ri
There is no subject that has not two
sides to it. and the reason most men
won't enter into discussion with antago-
nists is that they are afraid that the
other fellows side will be stronger than
theirs. The only thing that you are
afraid of. my fellow citizens, is the
truth. The only thing that is formula
tEle is the truth -
IT learned what know about Mexico,
which is not as much as I should desire,
me all about it. At first was very
much confused because the narratives
did not tally. and then one day when
had lucid interval it occurred to me
that it was because what was told was
rot true. The truth always matches.
1t behooves US to remember, my fellow
citizens, in these radical days. the men
ment by destroying government are go-
ing to be destroyed themselves by the
chaos that they have created. That is
the truth that is going to master society
and in any other place that tries Rus
sia's unhappy example s,.

No Leisure in the World,

In his speech at Billings yesterday
morning the President said:
The lefsureliness of some OF the
debates creates the impression in my
mind that some men think there is
leisure. There is no leisure in the
world, with regard to the reform of
the conditions under which men live.
I desire to say that, as many of you
know, I have called a conference to
sit in, Washington the first week Of
next month; a conference of men in
the habit of managing business and
men engaged in manual labor-what
we generally call employers and en-
p1oyes-and I have called them to-
gether for the sake Of getting their
purposes together; getting them to
look at the factor of our life, at the
same time, in the same light and
from the same angle, so that they
can see the things that ought to be
done. L am trying to apply there
cred by the, league Of nations If
there is any trouble the thing to do
is not to fight. but to sit around the
table and talk 1t over. The league
of nations substitutes discussion for
fighting. Without discussion there
win be fighting. One Of, the great
difficulties we have been through in
the past is getting men to under
stand that fundamental thing.
The, conference is the healing in
fluence of civilization. and the real
country is unfortunate enough to
have classes, is they do not under
stand one another. I myself think
the real barriers in life are the bar
riers of caste It is the absence of
the ability to get at the point, of
view and look through the eye OF the
person with whom you are not &C
customed to dealing.
.In order, therefore, to straighten
out the affairs of America; in order
to calm and correct the ways of the
world, the first and important requi-
site is peace, and it is an important
requisite that cannot wait It is not
wise to watt.

STRANGE
DEATH OF man
ON j. P. TRACKS
Wife Of Salvation Army. Cap
tain Abandons Him in
Dark Without Seeking to
Learn His Fate.

Kearney,- Neb., Oct. Especial
Telegram. Capt. P. H. Shaffer
commander of the Salvation Army
here, was killed early Friday morn
ing on the Union Pacific tracks
near Buda by a train. The body,
found after daylight was badly
mutilated, the wheels of the train
having passed over the upper part
of the chest completely seyering
the head and right arm.
Because of the unusual circum-
stances attending the death. a cor
onor's inquest was called for.
Mrs. Shaffer states that she, her
husband and second woman were
enroute home from Hastings by
auto about Q this morning. Just a
few hundred yards east of the Buda
station the supply of gas gave out
and Captain Shaffer went in search
of more. He had been gone but a
few minutes when she heard a
scream and saw a train approach
ing from the west. She waited for
some time, but did not investigate
At last another car came up and
its driver asked if she were in
trouble. When she answered in the
affirmative, he coupled the two cars
together and the entire party
started for Kearney without deter
mining what fate had befallen the
captain.
Mrs. Shaffer gave fear of negroes
working on the track at this point
as the reason that she did not search
for her husband.
Investigations on the ground dis
closed Captain Shaffer's coat and
hat lying several hundred feet from
the point where the body was
found. Apparently he had been
carrying them when death overlook
him. 1t was this conflicting evil
dence which decided the inquest.
Captain Shaffer has been in charge
of the Salvation army work in
Kearney for two years and lately
has been working hard on the ma
tional drive and a project for erect
ing a new hall.
