Sept 23.Taking. advantage of the in
frequency of stops in this sparsely set
tied region, President Wilson today
spent much time in his little private
office on the private car Mayflower
working ON matters of state.
1t was understood he had before him
reports ON the clashes which marked the
beginning of the steel strike, together
with advices from the labor department
and other governments bearing on the
strike.
There was no hint Of what action, il
any, the government might take at his
direction.
Wilson made his first rear platform
appearance shortly before IL O'Clock,
when several score railroad men, school
children and sunbonnetted women greet
ed him. H
A crowd Of about so which met the
trah at Montcllo was disappointed 40
the president failed to appear after the
children had sung America and clapped
vigorously for several minutes.
No stop had been scheduled at Mon,
tello and Wilson was not prepared 10
appear there.
There was much interest on the .presi
dental train in the action of Senator
Thomas, Colorado, in coming ont flatly
against the treaty. Wilson will talk
to the senator s constituents tomorrow.
1t was expected he you'd explain the
points in the league Of nations covenant
to which Thomas specifically objected.
At Reno the president was met by a
large crowd. "Thc Star Spangled Ban.
ner" was sung by several girls in the
audience.
Some one called for Mrs. Wilson.
"Here is the best part of this travci-
ing show smiled Wilson, introducing
her.
A man in the crowd, who seemed a
trifle unsteady, yelled out HMrs. Will
son, 1 would like to make statement;
1 am very much pleased with your bet
ter half. y The president and Mrs. Will
son joined in the laughter.
The president was en- route to Ogden
and Salt Lake City and at several towns
made stops long enough to speak briefly
from the rear platform.
The talk here was given in a small
theater, but the presidents s voice was
carried over the telephone wires by
means of the magnavox to three other
theaters in the city.
With regard to his opponents, Wilson
said their objections to the treaty were
bugaboos. "Thev are condemning their
desire to safeguard a means of quick
withdrawal from the league" (" he said.
"If they ever feel the impulse of eour-
age instead of the impulse of cowardice,
they will realize how much better it
feels. ~
