Viewpoint of Farmers.
They say that the farmers are bit
terly opposed to any system which
will take the boys off of the farms for
a period of their youth. while they are
yet under PARENTAL control and their
services are needed. 1t is hard enough
to keep them, as it is. they complain.
They find. they assert, that observ-
ing people in other classes are mur-
muring against possible esta blishment
of new social caste in this country,
remembering some objectionable fea-
| lures of war time, and presuming. of
course, that preparedness is but
st piping stone to enlargement of the
military establishment.
The foregoing are the considera-
tiOns which actuated the democrats to
their course last night. Whether they
are well founded or not is another
thing: the fact is they are existent.

BY \. o. MESSENGER.

Last nights action of the caucus OF
democrats of the House was not con-
strued by democrats today as indicat-
ing a general break between them and
the President, nor as being a disavowal
of his leadership of the party. 1T was
declared that it must be regarded as
an incident standing alone. and consld-
cred on it's merits, irrespective OIL any =
thing else.
1t was simply a case of self-preserva-
ton. democrats said today: of members
being more familiar with the condi-
tionS in their own constituencies and
the temper of the people than the
President, secluded as he is from inter-
course with the public. out of touch for
months with popular feeling and hear
ing, they fear, only what he can get
from the limited circle surrounding
him.
Members of the House. it was said
today. had to exercise their OWL
Judgment, based as it was upon con-
stant contact and correspondence
with the people. All of them regret
ted that their judgment had to diner r
from the Presidents. their Loyalty fol-
lowed leader. but this was case.
they decided. where they knew better
than the executive and where IT
would be political suicide. in their
opinion, to disregard the plain facts
for the blind following Of leadership.
Claims Of Republican Camp.
In the republican camp it was
claimed jubiiantly that the incident
was a clear disavowal of the Presi
dents leadership, as it was the hrst
incident where the party had gone
Numerically opposite to his advice
in a party caucus. Democrats had
voted against the President in over
riding the prohibition veto. on woman
suffrage and on other questions. divid-
ing their vote. but this was party
affair, it was contcnded, ana hence
must be taken as reputation OF the
Presidents advice and desires.
The reasons leading up to the caucus
action have been well understood and
canvassed among democrats untli
threadbare. They have been told that
there is violent opposition throughout
the country TO universal military
training among many classes OF the
people. Democratic representatives
who themselves admit the arguments
advanced in behalf Of training and
acknowledge the benefits. fear that
they appeal possibly to a limited class
of people who discuss them academi-
cally From other elements among
the people they hear in no unmistaka-

fear the tax burden to be imposed by
the policy. and believe that once

Democrats say that the word mill

the laboring classes. and they appre
hend that it would be well nigh i'm

FOR LABOR MEN

Trades Convention Here.

Opening the political campaign
of the American Federation of Labor
President Gompers in an address to-
day before the shipbuilding trades
convention here asked the aid of the
unions represented in electing mem
bers of Congress and other officials
favorable to organized labor. He
promised every assistance of the fed
GRAFTON in obtaining for the United
States the greatest merchant marine
of the world through continuance of
the wartime construction program.
Mr.. Gompers said the failure Of
Congress to carry the ship program to
a logical conclusion was typical Of
the attitude of Congress toward all
constructive legislation.
With the war over. he said. men,
bers of Congress are talking them
selves hoarse in the attempt to fur
ther invade the rights of the people
of the United States"
Looks for Bitter Fight.
1T is a policy just the reverse Of
that in every other country" the
speaker asserted, describing the lib
eral movement in Europe.
1T is your duty to see that this
tendency toward autocracy is curbed. In
our fight you can expect the bitterest
opposition from every enemy of labor
especially from every standpatter re-
dictionary, and some damn fools on the
hill" -.
Mr. GomperS assured the delegates
that the federation'S campa ign would be
conducted on the same lines as hereto
fore and that the labor vote would not
be committed to any party. but would
be used exclusively TO reward our
friends and to defeat our enemies
J. \. OConnell. vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, out
lined the plans for the federation's
campaign. He declared the present
Congress was the most reactionary
in the history of this country" and
hat from it labor need not hope for
the slightest remedial Legislation. He
referred to anti-Strike legislation as
deliberate attempt to enslave labor
through compelling workmen to re-
man on the job against their wills.
We must prepare to clean house."
the speaker said. Labor is entitled
at the very least to an even break in
representation in Congress"
Reviewing Records
Announcement of the federation's
decision to wage an active campaign,
he said. already has led congressman
to anXiouSly review their records but
he warned these that labor would do
its own reviewing.
There are many members whose
records apparently are AL" Mr. O'Con-
nell explained. but who hav. failed
in the purpose for which they Were.
elected. They may as well know that
a record Of present or not present
when labor legislation was up will be
considered as an opposing vote"
The convention adopted a resolut ion
fav"ring government ownership and
operation of the American merchant
marine. and another proposing that
three members of the board of super-
NiSihS operation be representative of
the men employed in the industry.

MARINE BILL IS OPPOSED
 bI 0RIGSBY

SEATTLE, May % A special to the Tines from Washington, D. C., says Delegate Grigsby's fight against tho merch&nt marine bill may cause it to die with the adjournment of Con- grcss. Grgsby claims that three pro- visions. f enacted, would place Alas l,a at tho me,cy of two steamship companies.
 The first objectionable clause, ac- oo~d'ng % Delo@a.a Grigsby, would bar the conditions of vessels carrying freight to Alaska waters and except those of Canadian origin.
 Tho second objectionable provision would allow the Shipping Board or agents to operate vessels only to ports with adequate terminal connections with rail connections which would init traffic to Cordova, Seward and Skagway leaving Nome, Ketchikan, Juneau, Douglas and Sitka open only to companies now operating to Alas ka ports.
 The third provision prohibits Can adian vessels carrying freight origi- natinr at American ports from Daw- son to Fairbanks which would handi- cap Fairbanks.
 The bill has strong support but Grigsbv is not alone in opposition to it and may get it held up or gain ad- horonts for the remainder of the ses- sion.
