claring that strife and bloodshed in
the nations industrial life have reached
the proportions of disgrace to our
whole civilization" Secretary Of Labor
Davis called upon labor leaders in an
address near here to-day 10 help restore
industrial relations to an orderly basis.
The ultra red radica, was blamed
by the secretary for much of the vio-
lence which attends clashes between la
Dor and. capital. For its own preserva-
tion, he said, organized labor must put
stop to the activities OF these "agitat-
ors' and their campaign Of riot, arson
and murder"

annual convention from the Interna-
tional Printing Pressmen and Assist
ants union of North America, at the
Pressmen's home, included recital Of
his own experiences as a union man.
which he said had given him an intl-
mate insight into conditions which
prompt violence in labor disputes. He
knew, he declared, that often "the un-
scrupulous employer, facing trouble
with his working men, has resorted TO
the company guard, the so-called pri-
vste detective, the hired pug ugly,
whose sole purpose in life is the stir
ring up Of hatred and violence
Il know that whenever men clash in
industrial strife" he continued. "there
is always present the agitator. The ul-
tra-red radical whose purpose in life
is the destruction OF all organized soci-
ETY. and whose whole philosophy is vio-
lence and bloodshed.
"Their men are always on the scene
when the employer and worker clash,
ready to incite to lawlessness and riot,
arson and murder. They menace the
whole system of our labor organization,
and trade unionism for its own preser-
vation must take steps TO eliminate
them"

'We cannot accept the allied terms

to the correspondent. Neither can we
accept literally the condition that our

conference is progressing.
"This would so circumscribe our
movements that the enemy would have
ample opportunity to prepare forces for
fresh attack and would give the al
lies chance to complete their land
and naval reinforcements in the event
the conference failed.
Regarding the straits, we have al
ready admitted freedom for the passage
of all vessels through the Dardenelles
but we are not prepared to define in.
what authority or body the control
shall be vested That question must be
settled at conference between the
Turks and the allies.
we also insist that all nations having
military or other interest
in the Dardanelles, including Russia
and Bulgaria, shall participate in the
conferences.

Britain suspend all naval and military
