Before Joint Session OF CONGRESS-

WASHINGTON, May % - Up -
Here is the text of President Tru-

sion Of Congress:
Mr.. President, Mr.. Speaker,
members of the Congress of the
United States:
l desire to thank you for this
privilege of appearing before you
in order to urge legislation which
l deem essential to the welfare of
our country.
For the past two days the nation
has been in the grip of a railroad
strike which threatens to paralyze
all u industrial, agriculture. com
merclal and social life.
Last night l tried to point out to
the American people the bleak pic
ture which we faced at home and
abroad if the strike is permitted
to continue.
The disaster will spare no one II

Asia will die who could be saved if
the railroads were not now tied up.
AS I stated last night, unless the
railroads are manned by returning
strikers I shall Immediately under
take to run them by the Army of
the United States.
No Alternative
| assure you that I do not take
this action lightly, but there is no
alternative. There is no longer a
dispute between labor and man
agement. 1t has now become a
strike against the government it.
self. That kind of strike can never
be tolerated. If allowed to contin-
ue, government will break down.
Strikes against the government
must stop. I appear before o tc
request immediate legislation de.

think that l should have taken this
action earlier and that 1 should
have made this appearance here
before today. The reason that I Gid
not do so, was that I was deter
mined to make every possible hu-
man effort to avoid this strike
against the government and to
make unnecessary the kind Of
legislation which 1 am about to re-
quest.
For months, publicly and private
ly, l have been supervising and
directing negotiations between the
railroad operations and the 20 diff
ferent railroad unions I have been
doing the same with respect tc the
pending labor dispute in the coal
mines. Time and again 1 have seen
the leaders OF the unions and the
representatives Of the operators.
Many hours have been spent by me
personally and many days have
been spent by my representatives
IN attempting to NEGOTIATE settle
ments of these disputes.
assure you that il was not easy
10 be patient. But until the very
last moment 1 made every effort
to avert this crisis. In fact my re-
representatives. were in conference
with the two striking railroad
unions up to two hours before I
took my place at the microphone
last night.
Time for Action
However, when the strike actual
ly broke against the United States
government which was trying to
run the railroads, the time for
negotiation definitely had passed
and the time TOR action mac arriv-
ed. In that action you. the Congress
of the United States, and I. the
President of the United States,
must work together - and we must
work fast.
The action which I have already
taken, and the action which l shall
ask you to take are necessary for
the preservation of our govern
ment. That action is also necessary
to save the great and mighty mas
ses of working men and women
from the dangerous effects of the
lll-advised and misguided acts of
some of their own leaders.
This particular crisis has been
brought about by the obstinate
arrogance of two men. They are
Mr.. Alvanley Johnston, president
of the Brotherhood of Lomotive
Engineers, and Mr., A F. Whitney,
president of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen. Eighteen other
unions and all of the railroad COM
panies of the nation are ready to
run the railroads. These two men
have tried to stop them.
I can we'll appreciated the atti-
tude of those members of the con-
gress and those citizens of the
United States outside of the con-
gress who would seek to take ven
geance for the unpatriotic acts of
these two men. However, I am sure
that none of is wishes to take my
action which will injure labor.

Defiance Scores Twice I'm Last Three
Minutes To Win Over BlufftOn, 1876

Had Bluffton colleges Homecoming
game ended three minutes sooner at
Harmon field last Saturday, the
Beavers would have gone home with
a 60 upset victory over Defiance
college.
AS it was, however, the favored
Yellow Jackets surged from behind
in those three minutes to score two
touchdowns and capture a IL to 6
victory.
After battling thru a scoreless
first quarter, Bluffton came up with
touchdown in the second period that
began to offer considerable assur-
ance of victory as the game progress

showed no signs of cracking.

Bluffton battled desperately to
maintain that slender lead over the
favored opposition but Defiance final

ill-fated last three minutes, as Vern-

touchdowns that meant victory for
his team.
In the two touchdown marches of
the Yellow Jackets Bluffton made

when the Beavers passed on their
