Only a Progressive Republi-

1920, He Declares; Old
Guard Is Out of Touch
Says Wilson Will Run
Allen, Johnson, Wood and

Whom People viii Elect

MILFORD, Penn, April 2O.-An nm
peal that the Republican party nomi
nate for the Presidency in 1920 a man
who will follow in the footsteps of tbo
late President Roosevelt, rather than
one who will be creature of the cold
guard of the Republican party was
issued here tonight by Clifford Pin
chot. Mr.. Pinchot said the Republican
party can hope to win only if it nomi-
mates man of progressive policies
who will be acceptable to the ;ndo-
pendent Republican voters in the
West, who will have it in their power
to decide the election, as thev did in
1916.
"Colonel Rooscvelt's DEATH said Mr.
Pmchot "deprivcd our country and the
world OF It's boldcst, strongest and
soundest leader and the Republican,

have won, of course. Since he is gone

Mr., Pinchot continued:
The country needs Il Republican
President next time. After tho comjnr
peace, IN the critical years of recon.
struction just ahead. We shall have 70
iace the most difficult reimbursement n,
nome and the kocncst compcti,ion
abroad that we have ever known. We
can face them successfully only with
the help of Republican Administered
tion and Republican policies of govern
mcnt.
ITO get Republican President and
enact Republican tariff we must
nominate man who can be elected.
To be elected the Republican candidate
must be acceptable to the great mass
of Republican voters. In particular he
must appeal to the Independent Repub-
llcans Of the West, who will decide the
next election as they did the last.
These men and women must be salts
fed with the nomination before they
Will vote the ticket We cannot win
without them.

Systematically carried on for many
months, and extending into every state

shows me the majority of Republican
voters are strongly progressive They

President for signature at present un-
less it was one on which he desired to
exercise his veto power. Otherwise
measures would be allowed to go upon
the statute books at the expiration of
the ten-day period provided by the
Constitution.
The prohibition enforcement bill is
now awaiting presidential action. The
impression prevailed tonight that it
would be allowed to become effective
without Mr.. Wilson's signature.
It was officially announced at the
White House o-day that the royal
Belgian party would not he entertained
OF the Executive Mansion, due to the
Presidents illness. Secretary to the
President Tumulty made this announce
ment:
1T is much regretted that the i'll
ness of the President will make it i'm
possible for the President and Mrs.
Wilson to receive the King and Queen
of the Belgians and the Duke Of Bra
bant as their guests.
During the visit of their majesties
and his royal highness in Washing
ton the Vice-P1esident and Mrs. Mar
shall will act in the place of the
President and Mrs. Wilson as hosts fer
the government of the United States.
Their majesties and the prince, dur.
ing their visit, will occupy the resi-
dence of the Third Assistant Secretary
of State, Breckenridge Long,
The royal party is scheduled to reach
Washington October q, for stay of
three days. THUS far no definite pro-
gramme has been completed for their
entertainment, except that the Sen
ate has set aside October 20 as the
day upon which King Albert will be
received by Ccngress A pilgrimage

Mercier Poor Man
". Y. Committee Of Fifty
to Raise Fund for Cardi-
nal Who Sacrificed AU

Some of the sacrifices made by Car
dinal Mercier in the interest Of his de-
spoiled countrymen-those about which
he was silent while here-are to be
recognized in a substantial way by q
group of New York citizens.
Not until after the Cardinal had left
the city did it become known that, in
addition to the physical hardships he
had endured in the war, he had given
away all his available resources and
in order to relieve the suffering of the
less fortunate.
1t was his intention to return to his
own country without knowledge of this
financial problem of his own becoming
public. He had intended, it was said,
to meet his obligations without outside
assistance.
The New Workers. who learned Of
this situation have banded themselves
into committee of fifty, which in
cludes members of every religious or
ganization. 1t is their purpose to
raise q testimonial fund as practical
expression of their regard for the
heroic prelate. Among the executive
HleluDciS Ol tHe CUI1nlttCe are IAICll-
bishop Hayes. head of the Roman
Catholic Archdiocese of New York, and
Bishop Charles S. Burch, head of the
Metropolitan Protestant Episcopal
Church Diocese.
George l.. Duval, a member of the
committee. explained its objects:
''In his heroic work Cardinal Mercier
has exhausted his resources and
pledged his credit to vast extent. He
is returning to Belgium to confront u
continuance of the desperate conditions
there and a renewal of his struggle
destitute of physical resources. The
Cardinal is recognized and proclaimed
by the spokesmen Of our leading uni
versities, our great commercial organi-
cations and the bar associations rs the
personifcation of the moral force tri-
umphant. This of itself makes him The
creditor of the world at large. but in
addition to that he has stood as bull
wark against the forces of radicalism
and disorder and the spread Of Bolshe-
vism by allaying the discomfort Of his
people" ~.

City Budget To Be Cut
35 Million on One Item

According to unofficial information
from the Controllers Office last night
the Board of Estimate and Apportion
lnent, before Monday night, at which
time the budget must be whipped into
practically "tina' shape, will scale
down the. tentative budget of $316, ,O00,-
900 to about $28,0o0,00 by eliminating
the greater part of the 1000, 900 in
crease accorded tentatively to thu.
Board Of Education for new buildings
and sites. 1t is understood that what
ever excess is needed by the Board Of
Education will be given by the Board
Of Estimate after the budget has been
finally approved, and that tax notes
will BE- issued to finance tie appro-
nriation. These notes would be retired
by 1921 tax levy. The method IS
counted on to suffice to keep the bud
ges down to less than 1885 10000 for
1920. For 1919 it was S24S 100000.

Labor Parley
Agrees to Pact
On Bargaining; 2;
Tentative Plan Is Framed
Subject to Action Of
Whole Conference; Re-
port To Be Made Tonight

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-A tentative
agreement on collective bargaining
was reached by the general committee
Of the National Industrial Conference
tonight, after an all-day session.
Committee members will consult with
their respective groups tomorrow and
final action on framing report to the
conference will be taken by the gem
eral committee tomorrow night.
The committee agreement wAs reached
by taking the declaration Of the public
and labor groups as basis and adding
to the sentence recognizing the right
of wage earners to organize ";n trade
and labor unions" the words "shop
and other industrial Associations"
The proposed compromise also sub
stitutes for the sentence OF the original
declaration recognizing the right Of or
ganized labor to be represented "b
representatives of their own choosing
the words "by representatives chosen
by majority of their own members. =
The tentative deciaration retained
en- up into twelve different parts, each
item stating a specific principle, in or
der to be readily subject to amend
ment.
The discussion in committee, which
totalled eight hours, hinged almost en-
tirely on the right of "outsiders" to
represent employees in negotiations
with employers Il 'ras a day of ups
and downs, during which at times
agreement seemed in sight,. and at
times the breach widened and compre.-
mise seemed impossible. The commit
tee recessed frequently to allow the
labor and capital groups to caucus, and
during the day numerous drafts of a
declaration were submitted and re-
jected.
In statement to-day c. S. Barrett
president of the Farmers National Co.
operative Union and member OF the
employers group Of the conference, de-
clared agriculture generally would
support labor in its demand that the
right to collective bargaining be secog-
nized by the industrial conference"
II am not willing" he said, "to with
hold from any other group or associa-
tion of men that which ! demand for
myself or my own group. Organized
labor has asked that the conference
indorse its position on collective bar
gaining; that it make known to the
meet with heads of industry and ar
range bases for the adjustment OF
wages, housing conditions and other
matters which affect employment.
This position, to my mind, is per-
fectly correct, and don't see how ]
can oppose it without stultifyine
myself. The National Board of Farm
Organizations has officially indorsec
the Capper- Hersman BILL. This bill
gives to the farmers the cltsr right T.
collectively, dispose. Of theiH produets.'
