I Wilson'S prestige had declined largely
{ because OF the failures OF the Demo
cratic party En- congress and the
Democratic cabinet over the inet-
ficiencies Of which AR wilson might
/ have exercised a stern hand Much Of
che bitterness over that i'll fared ap-
neal for a Democratic congress re-
mains. because Republicans felt they
I had civen LOYAL support hereanouts
and that the letter was hardly an eZ-
preston Of appreciation
should Have Recognized Republicans.
Again and again am told that Mr
Wilson might have had united coun-
try in peace as he had In war II ne
had selected an able Republican for
] the peace mission. One Republican po-
litieal leader who says privately that
Ar Wilson IS one or the smartesr- it
not the smartest. man who ever sat
in the white house. says he can't stop
. wondering how the president ever
could have miscued on the selection
Of an able man for the peace mission
Business people here were never en-
thusiastic about Mr. Wilson's going
away. but IL he comes back with a
peace treaty that meets Republican
objections and gets the pact ratified
soon. they viii forgive him his abb
sence.
On the other hand. they VIII not
forgive him much else tili he gets
rid Of many members OF his cab
met.
Pittsburr had a lot to do with
Washington during the war and tasted
governmental bureaucracy and red
t1pe right along and the reaction az
the inefficiency and eNtravasance OF
some Of the government departments
is rather extensive Several men told
me they wouldn't have felt the
iniquitfes Of the income tax II they
could have escaped the feeling that
much of the money was eZtravaEantly
spent or wasted
There isn't much unemployment
here. Those soldiers who want 10
work are being taken care Of. IN

Institutions like the WESTINGHOUSE
Electric. and Carnegie Steel have won
the confidence OF their employees to a
remarkable extent When the United
States steel spends more than $4,000
eco q year in welfare work alone and
other big corporations spend Big sums
OF money and the time OF experts try
ing TO ascertain causes Of discomfort
and remedies. bolshevism can't make
much Roadway.
Don't Want Eight Hour Day.
Why, one Of the steel men told me
today that the only trouble with labor
that he is having is trying TO impress
the workers with the merit Of the
eight hour day which judge Cary ac-
cepted sometime ago. Many Of the
employees want the u and IA hour
shifts because they think they can
make more money that way AS a
matter Of fact. my informant says
three shifts Of an eight hour day
would mean efficiency and greater
production
1T ought TO come" he said. first .
because its right, and, second. be- I
cause 10 can be made TO pay.
I asked him whether he might
not have to raise wages in order
TO get them 10 accept the eight
hour day, and he said he would
not be surprised II something like
that would have to be done
Il firmly believe" he added, that
We shall take away the main talking
point Of the union organizers II we
put in the eight hour day"
