U. 8. Must Solve Question Peaeeanly.
In the matter of international ais
mites which have led to war, States
men have sought to set up as feni-
edy arbitration for war Does this
NOT point the way for the settlement
of Industrial disputes by the estaDiisii-
ment of a tribunal, fair and Just aiike
to all, which will settle industrial ois-
putes which in the past have leu ~
war and disaster!
America. witnessing the evil conse-
Uuences which have followed out VI
such disputes between the cohtehaihs
forces. must not admit itself impotent
to deal with these matters by means
of peaceful processes. Surely, there
must be some method OF bringing To-
sether in council of peace ana amlty
these two great interests, out OF which
will come n happier day of peace anu
cooperation, day that VIII make LOT
more comfort and happiness IN living
and a more tolerable condition among
all classes of men.
Certainly human intelligence can de-
wise some acceptable tribunal for ad-
iusting the differences between cap
ital and labor.
Hour Of Test for America Is Here.
This is the hour Of test and trial
for America. BY her prowess and
strength, and the indOmtable courage
of her soldiers, she demonstrated her
power to vindicate on foreign battle
fields her conception of liberty and
Justice. Let not her influence as a
mediator between capital and labor be
weakened and her own failure to set
tie matters of purely domestic con-
Germ be proclaimed to the world.
There are those in this country who
threaten direct action to force. their
will upon majority. Russia today,
with its blood and terror, is painful
object lesson of the power OF minor
tiles. 1t makes little difference what
minority it is, whether capital or la
Dor, or any other class, no sort Of
privilege will be permitted to domi-
nate this country. We are Il partner
ship or nothing that Is worth while.
We are u democracy, where the ma
jOrity are the masters, or all the hopes
and purposes of the men who founded
this government have been defeated
and forgotten.
v. 8. Will Not Stand Any Threats.
In America there is but one way in
plshed and the relief sought by classes
obtained, and that Is through the or.
derry processes of representative gov
eminent. Those who would propose
any other method Of reform are enc
mics of this country. America will not
be daunted by threats nor lose her
compOsure or calmness In these ~
tressing times.
We can afford in sh.-nadst of this
day of passion and unrest to be self
contained and sure. The IN strument OF
all reform. in America is The straight
road of justice to all classes and cOndi-
tons OF men. Men have but to follow
this road to realize the full fruitiOn OF
their objects and purposes. Let those
beware who would take the shorter
road Of disorder and revolution. The
right road Is the road Of justice and
orderly process.
