MAN HAS RIGHT
To WORK IN Or
OUT Of UNION

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEAsEp wIREl
New York. May 1.-THE issue
now confronting the nation was de-
fined as question of whether
labor and capital shall be subject
to the control of the law when
vital public interests are involved,
by Senator PoindeXter of Wash
ington, a candidate for the repub-
lican presidential nomination, in
an address tonight before the Ma
tional Manufacturers association.
THE freedom of the laboring
man and rule by the people are at
stake" said Senator PoindeXter,
"A man should be protected in his
right to work in or out of union,
And the government must protect
with all the force of the nation, il
need be. the movement of food
supplies and the conduct of indus
tries which are essential to the life
Of the people.
The influence of the labor union
within it's proper sphere and con-
Quoted on sound and reasonable
principles, is valuable aid TO IN
dustry and government; carried to
the excess of coercing all workmen
to become it's members, whether
they wish to or not, levying COM
pulsory taxation upon them, dc
tating when they shall work and
when they shall not and
directing the government itself
it is then carrying good
thing to excess"

lay MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIREl
Berlin, May IA (by the Asso-
ciated Press Herr Won Kemnitz
who is a candidate of the German
peoples party for election to the
reichstag, admits in the Oder Zei-
tung of Frankfort that he drafted
the final dispatch to Mexico in
which Germany endeavored to en-
list that countrys armed aid in the
event of war with the United
States. At the time he was ad-
wiser at the foreign office on far
eastern and Central American af-
fairs.
Herr Won Kemnitz declares that
he should not be blamed for the
United States government obtain
ing possession of the document,
which If it had been kept secret,
he says, could only have done good.
81 foresaw two possibilities ex-
plains the former adviser. The
first, that Mexico would decline
because she was afraid of the Unit
ed States. which would neverthe-
less have strengthened the Ger
manophile sentiment in Mexico or,
second, that Mexico would accept,
in which case considerable Ameri-
can forces would have been tied up
on the Mexican border and Ger
many would not have incurred
any special obligations. We would
have been only ready to undertake
obligations if Mexico had been able
to induce Japan to join us"
Herr Won Kemnitz, who also
claims credit for originating the
idea of enlisting MeXico's aid, con-
tinues:
II did not have much hope or
success, as conversations with
Japan at Stockholm early in 1916
had been fruitless. But | felt that
nothing should be left uninterrupted
to remedy the error then COM
mittcd. aTfa as rny epntinred 81
forts to obtain direct contact with
Japan failed, l suggested the plan
to use Mexico as medium, as the
latter for decade had been friend
ly with Japan"
In February, 1917, II was re-
vealed at Washington that Ger
many, in planning her unrestricted
submarine campaign and counting
it's consequences, proposed an al
lance with Mexico and Japan to
make war on the United States, If
the latter should not remain neu-
tral. Japan, through Mexican
mediation, was to be urged 10
abandon her allies and join in the
attack on the United States.
Mexico, for her reward, was to
receive general financial support
from Germany, re-conquer Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona, and share
in the victorious peace terms Ger
many contemplated. Details We're
left to German Minister Won Eek
hardt in Mexico City, who, by in
structions signed by German For
eign Minister Zimmerman at Ber-
lin on January 10, 1917, was di-
rected to propose the alliance with
Mexico to General Carranza and
suggest that Mexico seek to bring
Japan into the plot.

WILSON s VETO
Of IMPORTANT
BILL SUSTAINED D
House UphoIds Presidents
Rejection of the Appropri-
alton Measure; Will Be
Returned to Committee.

toy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIRE1
Washington, May 14.-President
Wilson's veto Of the legislative APP
preparation bill, as containing an
infringement on executive author
ity, was sustained in the house to-
day against the effort of the re-
publican majority to override it.
Though aided by a handful of
democrats, the republicans failed
by twenty eight votes to obtain the
necessary tWo-thirds majority to
re-pass the bill over the presidents s
disapproval. The measure then
went back to the appropriations
committee for elimination of the
section objected to and will be re-
turned to the house on Monday for
passage in its modified form.
The republicans rolled up 40
votes to overcome the veto. but the
democrats cast 127 votes to sustain
the president. The vote carries
with it a denial of opportunity for
the senate to attempt offsetting
the veto, for the redrafted measure
will leave the house without the
provision relating to powers of the
Joint committee on printing at
which the veto was aimed.
While the house was considering
the question Senator Smoot of
Utah, author of the bill, told the
senate that the president must be
as to the effect of the
provision which would have given
the committee control of all gov
ernment publications. Roger Bah
son. formerly connected with the
committee on public information,
and others attending the joint COM
mittee, were accused by Mr.. Smoot
of having misled the president.
The senator added that the presi-
dent had signed a bill last year
giving the joint committee greater
power than was proposed by the
vetoed provision.
