l have been bitterly assailed for
the labor Provisions in the railroad
law, and not alone for the provisions
which were adopted by the senate
but which were rejected by the
house Of representatives II is i'm
possible. think, for any man who
values the truth to accuse me Of any
want Of interest in the welfare of that
great body Of men and women ordi-
narily described as wage workers"
may be mistaken. for no man Is in
fall!ble: but in view of my twenty
years of public life no decent man
will charge me with hostility toward
labor. True loyalty to labor, how
ever, does not involve disioyalty to
the common interest Of the hundred
and ten Mullins Of people who COM
prise the republic of the United
States. l am for labor and always
have been for labor because fair and
Just wages and good working condi-
lions are absolutely essential to the
welfare Of all the people, but my
supreme allegiance Is due to the
people as whole and l Intend to be
loyal TO that allegiance, no matter
what the consciousness may be. In
the railroad bill. we have provided a
fair. Impartial tribunal for the adtu
diction Of all disputes concerning the
wages Of those who are engaged in
railroad employment For the first
time in the history of the world we
have ENACTED code for the protec-
ton OF the railroad wage workers.
We have laid down the principles
which determine what just conpen-
sation Is and II these principles be
intelligently applied the workers up-
on the railroads will always receive
their just reward for the labor which
they expend. Never before has a
government undertaken to protect a
body Of wage workers In this way,
and firmly believe that the law
ushers in new era of civilization,
Public Has Rights.
Having done this for labor. may I
turn to the rights Of the public in
transportation In the progress OF
time. our national life has become 30
adjusted, our communities so deyel-
oped. our compaerce has been so es-
tablished. that transportatin must be
continuous and regular. The sus-
pension of transportation for a single

week disorders everything and in
flicts untold hardships upon millions
OF people. A suspension for two
food supplies and health. A suspen-
sion for four weeks means starvation
in a country filled to overflowing
with the products of the soil. 1t
means death and indesepbable cal
amity. The millions Of People who
suffer this cruel punishment are
without fault. What then. Is the
duty OF the government toward these
multitudes of helpless men and
women? Plainly. it must do what
ever 1t can to secure continuity and
regularity in the movement Of COM
modities from place to place and
from state to state. Its first specific
duty is to provide tribunal for the
adjudication Df the disputes which
may arise between the railroad wage
workers and their employers; II can
not in justice interfere with the wage
workers until It is ready to do justice
to the wage workers and obviously
1t can not interfere with the right OF
any man to leave his employment II
he desires to do SO, for in a free
country that right must be respected.
Having, however. created a tribunal
which will render to the railroad
wage worker Q surer and higher JUS
tice than they can ever hope to Sc
cure thru the strike, it can and 1t
ought to say to these workers, emf
gagged as they are In public en-
ployment. you must resort to this
tribunal and 1t shall hereafter be un-
lawful for you to enter into con-
spiracy the object Of which is to
coerce your employers by inflicting
upon an Innocent public the infinite
cruelties which spring from a gen.
eral cessation of transportation" It
10 impossible for me to believe that
the civilization OF this day can not
devise some plan which will at once
protect the wage workers upon rail-
roads and the public an well. / be-
lteve the age OF the strike in public
utilities has PASSED. The railroad
bill as II came from the senate made
the conspiracy Of which have spok-
en- unlawful: and while I suppose I
need not say so desire to say that I
am mistaken in the conviction that
the senate PROV sion should have re-
manned in the law.

TIMES REPUBL1CAN. MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA.

Why every swale and side hill had
its quota of coveys. There were ac-
tually millions of them. A good shot
with good dog might kill hundred
in n day. Some of them did. No, don't
blame them particularly. Everyone
believed then that the prairie
chickens were inexhaustible and in
destructible. And two or three years
ago one old time hunter saw lone
old bachelor spring up from the
corn Aeid In easy range and watched
him sail out Of sight refusing to
shoot. at the first chicken he had
seen In nve years. And he hasn't
seen one since.

At Detroit It is said that few

workers to pay.
Eventually the strike will either be
beaten or It will be arbitrated. The
idea which has gained q majority In
congress and which was fathered by
Senator Cummips was that the in
svitable arbitration should come be-
fore the business of the country had
suffered hundreds OF millions OF
damage and before the vast majority
OF wage workers not in the railroad
service had lost their Jobs or had

government eventually anyway. even

experience had been.
About fifty farmers signed up
