g Solid Express Trains
For Neav York Held I'm
Situation at Philadelphia De-
scribed as Serious and
CrOlCing More So Hourly

PHILADELPHIA, April 11-Althosgh
there were no additions to the ranks of
the striking trainmen and switchmen
of the Pennsylvania Railroad here to-
day, the situation was described by an
official of the company as serious and
growing more so hourly. An embargo
was placed on all express, except milk,
to points east of this city and a further
curtailment was made in passenger
service. Freight movement virtually
was at standstill. About 500 men are
out.
Six solid express trains, bound for
New York, were held up in this city,
while pumber were held at points
west of here. Large quantities of
perishable goods consigned to New
York were held at Washington and
Harrisburg. A milk train from up
state points was the only one carrying
express to get through to New York to-
day over the Pennsylvania lines. Milk
shipments to Philadelphia are being
sent to only one point for distribution,
instead of three, as is the case under
normal conditions.
Hundreds of cars loaded with freight
from the South and West for New York
were caught in the freight e,nborco
last week and are being held at points

Legislative Leaders
Meet To-day to Push
Anti-Strike Measures
From, q Staf Correspondent

From staff Correspondent
ALBANY, April 11.-Legislative lead
RS will meet tomorrow to plan action
On bills now pending which would pre-
vent "outlaw" strikes such as the one
now tying up railroads throughout the
country. 1t was learned tonight that
the railroad strike has brought the
legislative leaders to the realization
that public demands for protection
against the hardships of strikes in
transportation and other essential in
dustries must be complied with.
There are two bills before the Legis.
laturs which would tend to eliminate
strikes on transportation lines and in
industries engaged in the production of
food, fuel and clothing One is the
Knight Brady bill creating an indus
trial relations court. The other is the
Walton Martin measure making strikes
illegal in instances where arbitration
agreements have been made The lat
ter bill has been passed by the Senate
and is now in the Assembly Rules Com
mittee.

Act to End Strike

WASHINGTON, April 11.--Attorney
General Palmer will take up the ques-
tion of governmental action in the So
called OUTLAW" railroad strike i'm
mediately upon his return to Washing
ton tomorrow. Officials of the Depart
ment of Justice were busy to-day as
sembling detailed reports, gathered
by telephone and telegraph from all
important strike ccnters, preparatory
to laying the whole controversy before
their chief.
Officials would disclose only the gem
eral trend of the reports, said to show
an Extremely serious" situation.
Pending Mr. Palmer's return, his aids
declined to indicate what their recon-
mendations to him would be. They did
say, however, that determination of
the governments attitude must be had
soon.

Would Rule With Iron Hand
Lieutenant Daniel Hoag asserted that
If Federal or state troops weren't sent
to keep the trains running 1--WE can
start a war of our own and we must
take up this matter with an iron hand"
No mails have been received in Ten
afy since Friday. No train reached
the town yesterday except milk train.
Resolutions were adopted at the meet
ing, copies of which are to be sent to
PRECEDENT Wilson, Governor Edwards,
the Postmaster General, the New Jer-
sey Senators and the Representative
from the district.
The strike is characterized in the
resolutions as a violation of the spirit
of American institutions, "the effort of
a minority to impose its will by force
on the majority" An appeal is made
to the strikers to realize their error
and return to work The concluding
paragraph follows:
"Resolved, That the wanton nature
of this strike precludes the possibility
of temporizing, and that the Congress
of the United States use its power in
behalf of the great law-abiding major
ity of the country to cause resump-
tion Of railroad traffic, and that similar
action be taken by the Governor and
Legislature Of New Jersey"

Tonight strike leaders claimed heavy
additions to their ranks.
Business and manufacturing interests
here are feeling keenly the result of
the strike. One of the most serious
blows came with the shutting down of
fifty-nine coal mines, most of them in
Illinois, throwing 10000 miners out of
work. Iteis estimated that 1000 men
have been temporarily laid off from
industrial work in St. Louis and SUBJ

New-York tribune., 1920-04-12

Citizens Of the Borough of Tenady,
N. j., recommended the use Of the rifle
and the rope yesterday against the
strikers who have halted their mail,
food, fuel and Communication trains.
The suggestions were made by men
holding responsible positions in the
community. They were offered at a
citizens meeting announced by clergy
men from their pulpits, presided over
by the Acting Mayor and a judge and
held in the Tenaay High School.
Six men volunteered to operate and
fire the locomotive Of the trains which
the Erie Railroad promised to provide
if crews could be founo. Watson G.
Clark, State Highway Commissioner,
reminded the gathering that the Home
Guard had 100 rifles and recommended
that the guardsmen, fully equipped for
trouble, be placed on the trains run
by volunteers with instructions to pro-
tect the passengers and crews at all
hazards.
Banker Urges Quick Vengeance
1t was Charles Sisson, banker, who
spoke for lynch law for the strike
agitators. The very nature of the
strike proclaimed it Bolshevist revo-
luton project, he declared, and those
responsible for it ought to be caught
and hanged out of hand.
Acting Mayor G. P. Kennedy was in
the chair when the meeting was called
to order and was succeeded by Judge
Ernest Heppenheimer of the Court of
Errors and Appeals of New Jersey, who
was elected chairman. Mr.. Kennedy
declared his conviction that Bolshev-
ism was at the bottom of the trouble
and Judge Heppenheimer said that the
strike was an abuse of privilege and
should be Opposed vigorously"
That was just what those at the
meeting were eager to do.
"Our one aim must be to stop this
act of lawlessness," said Frederick l.
Colver, publisher, OF New York.

Of. the presidency is made up and
closed, and may be summarized at

that blind men alike to the merits and

while he remains the central figure Of

In this age Of ours. when men are
going to school to learn business and
farming and all manner of vocations,
it was natural that there should appear
in the White House man like Wood
row Wilson, who had learned politics
in the classroom rather than in the
wardroom. The eighth of our Virginia

A FTER Woodrow Wilson had been
l. a teaching in the classroom fer
quarter Of O century that the presi-
dent ought to be more like a prime
minister, trying to cooperate with
other human beings" than ga mere
department hailing congress
from some isolated island Of author
ity,'' the opportunity came to him to
put his theory in practice. When con-
gresS met in extra session month
after his Inauguration he walked in
and delivered his message in person,
reviving q custom which Jefferson had
stopped only because he happened to
have a, poor voice and vas an awk-
ward speaker.
President Wilson adopted the atti-
tude Of sort Of member at large Of
both houses, sauntering unheralded
into the seldom-used presidents room,
which adjoins the senate chamber
whenever he had any special business
and talking things over in the open.
The president succeeded not by
arousing a personal loyalty to himself
but by the force Of his ideas. II have
had majority On the floor, but he
admitted, never a majority in the
cloakroom.'

the repeal Of Panama tolls, the ship
ping act, the child labor law, the pur'
chase of the Danish West Indies and
federal aid for good roads.
The federal reserve law is poten.
tally as great piece of constructive
legislation as any that has been Ell.
acted in this country. We were abso'
lutely without a financial system, and
the money Of the nation was in the
irresponsible control of a few big
banks in New York.
Every attempt to remedy this situa'
ton had failed because private finan.
cial interests naturally wished to keep
their control of the money. The Aid.
rich bill in the Taft administration
proposed to give the sanction of law
to this private domination, but con.
gress refused to pass it.
The federal reserve act silsfly re-
versed the Aldrich plan and gave the
nation, through the government, the
control Of its own money.
President Wilson was the relentless
driving force shat pushed through the
federal reserve bill and the rest Of the
legislative program.
The electric spark was omitted from
President Wilson's composition, and
this omission denied him flowing
communication with his fellows, nat
ural limitation which was confirmed
by the life he had led until he was
suddenly thrust into the hurly burly
of politics.
President Wilson has been a lonely
fgure in the White House. He came
to the presidency stranger to public
men, and no president can make new
friends-real friends.
His reelection was one OF the big
surprises Of our presidential electitns.
For several hours after the polls
closed he appeared to have been badly
beaten, and Hughes vent to bed with
the assurance that he was president
elect.
After ali the great industrial states
which had decided the elections in the
past. except Ohio had sent in reports
Of Republican Victories, the tide was
turned By the far. West, which had
been almost forgotten il the reckon
ing. but where the conservative inter-
osts had less influence. 1T last the
rcturns from remote hdmietS in the
Sierras gave California to the presi-
dent by less than 1000 plurality. He
had lost ali but two Of the northern
states east Of the Missouri, and yet
won by carrying IN but two Of the
states west ef that river, where the
wsfGen Toters aTa supposed to have

a, Virglnian, but the son of an Ohie
clergyman and Of an English mother
was student or teacher of the sci
ence, or rather the art Of governing for
80 years before he held a political
Office.
That fact was left out Of their reck-
oning by the Democratic bosses of cor
rupt, machine-ruled New Jersey when
they summoned the president of Prince
ton university from the golf links one
afternoon in the fall of 1910.to receive
the nomination for governor. When
this supposed novice in politics de-
I clared, as he foundered through what,
as he had to own up, was his first pc
litical speech, that if elected governor
he would govern, the politicians nudged
one another and laughed in their
sleeves at the idea of a professor try
ing to run their machine. They laugh
ed out loud when they saw him actual
ly sit down in the governors chair and
begin to play politics out Of book.
Of all things, it was book which he
himself had written in his youthful
school days merely as a thesis for his
Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins. The young
graduate-student made the discovery
that our Constitution created vac
uum. which the bosses had rushed in
to fill.
Alas, popular leadership is neither
q science nor an aTt that can be taught
out Of book.
Where other leaders of our democ-
racy have appealed to&he emotions, he
is one OF the least electric, least dra-
matte OF our presidents, with no anec-
dotes to populariZe him, with no leg
ends Of his youth oS myths about his
political career to Titalize him 10 the
general imagination. He owes MS va
rious successes ct the polls to the cold
logic Of the political situation and little
to his popularity. His academic aloof-
ness from politics, at time when pol
iticians had fallen into disfavor, made
him the available man for governor in
1910. AS candidate for president, ne
ran q poor second to Champ Clark IN
the popular primaries Of 1872. He was
nominated at Baltimore only after -
ballots, and then only as q result CT
Bryan's overthrow OF the steam roller.
And he was elected by the division OF
the Republicans between Roosevelt and
Taft, though he received a smaller vote
than the Democrats had polled in
three past elections.
It is the tragedy OF Woodrow VIII

were mixed in him, magnetism was de-
