End MISSION
COMES FROM
PHILIPPINES
Body Headed by Senate Presl-
dent Quezon Reiterates De-
mand for independence.

That the Filipino people are in earn
est in their demand for immediate in
dependence is indicated by the coming
to the United States of a second Philip
pine mission TO work for independence.
Coincident with this announcement the
War Department received a cable from
Manila stating that the all-Filipino leg
islature had adopted resolutions re-
iterating its plea for immediate indie
pendence.
The second mission, like the first, is
composed of the leading men of the is
lands and will work in the United
States not only for immediate indie
pendence, but also to bring about 'bet-
ter understanding, greater confidence
and closer economic relations between
the United States and the Philippines"
The mission is again headed by Man.

pine Senate, who is well known in
America, having been for six years res

No strike involving a public
utility can be successful unless
it has behind it the public sup
port and sympathy. That ex-
plains why the outlaw railroad
strike has failed so miserably.
After the strike had actually
broken and the men began to
realize that the public was turn
ing against them, they tried to
appeal to that support with
claims of inadequate wages and
oppression by the transporta-
ton companies.
But, as a matter of fact, the
public refused to consider the
question ofwages at all. 1t saw
in the strike only an abuse of
the right of laboring men to seek
redress of grievances an mex
cusables breach of good faith in
the violation of contracts and a
defiant of good citizenship.
In consequence everywhere
people turned against the strik-
ers and shed their coats to help
the railroad corporations move
their trains and distribute their
freight; and from that moment
the strike was doomed to failure.
1t never had a chance to succeed
against an aroused American
sentiment.
Vast sums of money have been
lost by the strike. 1t was the
cause of widespread and cruel
suffering. But it has its COM
pensations. The men response
BILE for it and their thousands of
of misguided followers have been
taught a lesson. They know now
if they did not know before, that
whenever any body of workmen
undertake to strike without
cause against public service cor
porations not only will the Ameri-
can people hear the burdens OF
the strike, but that they will use
every ounce of their moral and
physical power to break such a
strike. IN. 0. States.

States. Mr.. Quezon and the Hon. Ser
gio Osmena, Speaker Of the Philippine
House of Representatives and Vice
President Of the Council of State, are
the leaders Of the Nacionalista party,
which has been in power since 1907.
While Speaker Osmena Is not SO well
known in the United States ~ Quszen,
he is considered one ct the ablest men
in the islands Sama President Que
zon recently referred to Osmena as
"the greatest Filipino since Risal."
The personal relations between Os-
mena and Quezon are probably without
parallel In modern politics. They
have been the leading political figures
in the islands for II years, yet there
has never been the slightest indication
Of rivalry between them. Throughout
their college life as well as their long
political service each has refused to be
candidate for any position that the
other aspired to.
During the years Quezon was the
Philippine delegate in the American
Congress he won the esteem and con.
fidence of both the Republican and
Democratic sides of the chamber.
Whenever he spoke he was assured OF
a good attendance One of the official
short hand reporters once declared
Quezon used the purest English of any
member of the House.
