PEASANT CONGRESS
MEETS IN SOFIA

SOFIA, Bulgaria, July 15.-The
keynote Of the congress of peas
ants, held in Sofia this month, was
it's hostility to the bourgeois, to the
profiteers and to the commercial
class generally, and it's most striking
single incident doubtless was the
remarkable speech Of Premier SIAM
boulisky to Boris, the young king.
The premier was clear, forceful and
convincing and spoke with an amaz-
ing frankness.
"You shall reign, but you shall
not govern" he said to his sovereign.
1.-THE people will never become a
party of the palace. We will not
tolerate king following the danger
Gus paths Of former sovereigns. Sire,
you shall reign so long as you have
the confidence and support of the
majority Of the people, who could
elect you as president Of old Bull
garia, but as the monarch Of new
Bulgaria, which knows only the ma
ticnal sovereignty. From this day
there begins the government of the
farmers, who have been obliged
down to the present to wage war
to the death against enemies from
,, within and without. Sofia is our
worst enemy. 1t is the center of
the merchants and the headquarters
of the parties which have for us i'm
placable hatred"
On another occasion Stamboulisky,
the vigorous Observation-Disclosures, re-
former, told the congress that Bull
garia would establish a republic
with King Boris as it's president if
the intellectual classes attempted to
seize the reins Of government. His
words were received with volleys OF
applause.
The fact is that Bulgaria today is
in a transitional stage from a mon
archy to sort Of socialized republic
The country is ruled entirely by
farmers. With one or two exceptions
the entire cabinet is composed OF
peasants and schoolmasters. The
king is a negligible quantity. Siam
boullsky exercises the powers Of a
dictator. His attitude toward the
king is like that of a stern father
toward a jealous son. But he is
very fond Of the young monarch
and many Bulgarians believe that
if he is able to retain office he will
carry out his idea Of making Boris
the first president of the Bulgarian
| republic.

AUSTRIA IS AWAKE

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 15.-Austria

President D. M. Hainisch Of that
country, stated in a letter to Virgil
G. Hinshaw, president of the prohi-

the latter today. Mr.. Hinshaw Wis

the letter continued. "And the ma

there is nothing bogus about these
bargain sales. The value Of the
German mark has dropped SO ire
mendously that the prices Of tex

doubled and trebled in a week. The
store owners became panicky and
called a meeting to decide upon
measures to meet the emergency
which had arisen so suddenly. The
government sent a representative to
this meeting and he limited to the
big business men that a sudden in
crease in prices would aggravate the
critical situation and that therefore
the government advice was to go
ahead with the annual midsummer
bargain sales without raising the
prices even if the owners suffered
as result Of the drop in the value
of the mark.
"You must support the republic, -
the government official told the
store owners, because the people
who patronize your stores belong to
those parties that are backing the
republic"

WOMEN WILL HOLD
BUSINESS SHOW

NEW YORK, July 15.-The New
York League Of Business and Pro-
fessional Women has decided to
hold an exposition Of women's &C
tivities here next September to
prove that women have won an en-.
viable position in the business, pro-
fessional and industrial world.
Mrs. Elizabeth Sears, president of
the league, which already has
opened offices to prepare for the ex'
hibit, in announcing plans for the
exposition, said: ..~..

in the business world. We are here
to stay and it is up to us to show
that we are to be an asset and not
liability in the business world.
''Our exposition plan is a coura'
geous one, it is true; but it takes
business women to show courage.
We will present not only the varied
vocational opportunities now open
to women-over Go such vacations

we had the thought that we would

| were forced to widen our plan OF
campaign from the start. We found

GOMPERS GIVES LABOR'S
SIDE IN RAILROAD STRIKE

put labor unreservedly however in
the hands of the United States labor
board or any other government
agency.
"This is not a legal question:" he
said, NOR is it political. 1t is solely
economic"
Carrying out this viewpoint fur
Their, Mr.. Gompers insisted that eV
cry man has a right in free America
to quit work if he is dissatisfied
and no law could ever compel him
to work against his will. Involun-
, tary servitude he said otherwise
would be the result with eloquent
remarks to the effect that If men
were forced to work against their
will the emancipation proclamation

tenth amendment would be an

regulate Industrial relations by law
would fail because of this same in
alienable right.
White House Comment
Somewhat different were the COM
ments issuing from the White
House, however, in answer to hypo-
,thetical inquiries as to whether the
government would have the power
to draft citizens to work on the rail-
roads in an extreme emergency.
The president holds that his powers
are limitless in an emergency, es'
specially if his action is intended to
preserve the health and safety OF
the American people, though Off

full to point out that they expected
no such contingency to arise.
Mr.. Gompers and his assistants,
OF course, do not like to see federal
troops used. They say it makes the
government strikebreaker. They
argue that the several states can
maintain order and Uphold the law
and that union labor will not bring
about disturbances. Mr.. Gondpers
cleared Mr.. Jewell of any intent
wilfully to interrupt interstate com
merce. He pointed out neverthe.
less that the railroads would be
sending out poor equipment and in
competent employees to run trains
and that accidents under such cir.
cumstances were inevitable.
The issue in this strike, It be.
arguments, as we'll as the attitude
of the White, House, is whether the
United States railroad labor board
can enforce its decisions. Mr..
Gompers wants to see the board

DiscIoses Its Case Against
Carriers and United States
Labor Board - Suggests
Means of Settlement
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal.)
fCnnvripht 1921

WASHINGTON, July Is. - There
are two sides to every question-and
organized labor, through it's spokes-
man, Samuel Gompers, discloses it's
case against the railroads, it's case
against the United States labor
board, it's case against the use Of
federal troops as strike breakers and
suggestions as to how the present
strike can be brought to an end.
Sitting at the head Of a long oak
table in the board room of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor building,
Mr.. Gompers in his characteristical-
Iy dramatic fashion explained labor's
viewpoint to a group of assembled
correspondents and time submitted
to cross examination.
In brief, Mr.. Gompers thinks the
United States railroad labor board a
meddlesome institution. He was
against it's creation when the trans
portation act was under discussion
in congress and he has not abated
his opposition since. Here are the
main points in Mr.. Gompers' dis.
cussion of the present strike:
First, the president was wrong in
saying that the railway employees are
striking against their government or
are disobeying a law when they ig'
more the decisions of the United
States railroad labor board. Ninety
two railroads, said Mr.. Gompers,
have violated 104 decisions Of the
railroad labor board and nobody at
the White House has seen fit to is
sue proclamation calling the rail
road executives law-breakers and the
United States railroad labor board
has not passed any resolution refus'
ing to recognize the present manage
ment of the railroads and calling the
stockholders to choose new eXecu'
tives who could be recognized by the
United States railroad labor board
It will be recalled that the board re-
Gently passed q resolution declaring
that the unions which had refused
to obey the boards decisions would
not be recognized and suggesting
that the workren form new organi
cations.
Economic Question
Second, in response to question
as to whether the railroads were
violating the transportation act, Mr.
Gompers insisted that they were dis
regarding the intent and purposes OF
the law by the method of contracting
for outside labor. He declared that
workmen, however, did not have the
same opportunity. Asked point blank
whether the railway employees would
in his judgment, obey the decisions
of the railroad labor board if the
railroad executives did likewise, the
veteran chief of Americas labor
forces said pointedly that such q
state of affairs would contribute tc
| the confidence which American work
men would then have in the good
faith of the railroads and the labor
board itself. He did not promise tt
