WHAT THE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY
LID TO AVERT STRIKE DISASTER
Before I consulted with them (the railway execu
lives and the representatives of the employes) I made
myself acquainted with the points at controversy
The first thing I told both sides was that I stood
for the eight-hour day. We believe in the eight-hour
d. because a man does better work within eight hours
•h he does in a more extended day. I said to the rail
road executives: "You are asking that the result of
the eight-hour day be predicted and the prediction be
arbitrated. The reasonable thing to do is to grant the
eight-hour day not because the men demand it, but
because it is right and let me get authority from Con
erer-s to appoint a commission to observe the results
and report in order that justice may be done the rail
roads in respect of the cost of the experiment "
That was the proposal which they rejected and
w-hic. Congress put into law, a proposal which I made
to them before I conferred with it, which I urged upon
them at every conference, and which when the one
side rejected and the other accepted I went to Congress
and asked Congress to enact. I did not ask either side
whether it suited them, and I requested my friends in
Congress not to ask either side whether it suited them
I learned before the controversy began that the whole
temper of the legislative body was in favor of the
eight-hour day.
In the House of Representatives the plan was
passed, was sanctioned, by a vote which included sev
enty Republicans as against fifty-four Republicans In
the Senate the Republican members held a conference
in which they determined to put no obstacle in the way
of the passage of the bill. Now, this was because the
proposal was reasonable and was based upon right_

> yon know that your post office

our uf the now things Uncle Sum
started «hiring the present Ad
lltratiqn. Secretary Wilson of tile
ptiriinerit of Lahor has tackled ilie
' of hringing the jobless man and
manies« job together, and now
ry post office is an agency of the
•ted States employment service,
r postum si or is equipped with
nks for listing applications for la
'orfor employment and Is instruct
to help get the worker and the job
contact.
"hile this might appear to be prin
®l ,v in tlie* interest of the worker,
is really one of the numerous far
'Aing things started for the bene
of the farmer by the Administra
of President Wilson. The iucreas
, scarcity of farm labor has become
proliliMu to the farmer, especially
the wheat-growing and frult-grow
seettons. Tills labor, which is of a
Jonal character, necessarily must
performed largely by Itinerant
«er«. Some agency which will
this demand and relieve the la
of the graft of employment
c Bt , is necessary. Uncle Sum has

million dollars annually in interest

GDt >D KOADS: Seventy-five mil
lion dollars made available for the !
development of roads from the farm
to fhe market, under conditions which
will prevent wasteful use of the money.
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION :
The passage of the Smith-Lever Act
brings to every American farm,
through the joint co-operation of the
Federal Government and rhp State»,
the help of these agencies in solving
tile htiMiiess proklems of the farmer.
COTTON FUTURES ACT: Deals
a death blow to gambling in tills gre»t
staple.
UNITED STATES WAREHOUSE
A «T ; Enables owners of stored prod
ucts to obtain loans on warehouse
receipts more nearly approximating the
full value of the product.
GRAIN STANDARDS: A law eu
acted last August authorizes the Sec
retary of Agriculture to establish offi
cial grain standards. This law is
working. The farmer who has been
robbed through juggled grain grades
for years will appreciate its value.
I'Hop MOVING: The aurplu» fund»
of the Treasury Department have been
placed directly In the banks of the
South mid West to aid in moving crops
during the customary season of money j
shortage. j
INTEREST ON GOVERNMENT DE
POSITS: Banks holding government
deposits are now required to pay two
per cent interest. This cuts off a big
graft which formerly came from the
free us»- of huge sum» of the people » (
money. More than one million dollar»
revenue 'annually is now derived from
this source alone.
IMPROVED MARKETING SYS
TKM : The farmer has for years felt
the power of the market combine,
with Its waste, inefficiency and dis- ,
honesty. The office of Markets and
the Rural Organization Service, e
tublished in the Department of Agri
culture during this Administration, arc
working on scientific lines to promote j
better marketing and co-operative buRi
ness organization among farmers.
These bénéficient measures, with 1
many others, show why the farmer
I» pn-tty well satisfied with Ui« WU
sou Administration.
Shingle Roof a Menace.
The ordinary shingle roof Is a tre
mendous fire hazard which !» Dot ful
ly appreciated by most persons. After
a shingle has been exposed to th*
weather for a time it becomes so In
flammable that it will burn as quick
ly as paper, and they are so light that
an ordinary wind will carry these burn
ing brands from one building to an
other some distance away. This was
Clearly demonstrated at the conflagra
tion which took place a short time ago
at Paris. Ky. Of the total number of
1,440 buildings destroyed, over 1.000
had shingle roofs. Perhaps no more
convincing example of the danger in
the use of untreated wooden shingles
in a closely built up community could
be found than that furnished by this
latest conflagration. Practically the
tUliv resilience in the path of the flames
which was but little damaged was
roofed with incombustible material. In
the reconstruction of the city fhe uae
of wooden shingles without fire-retard
ant 'rreat nient should be absolutely
prohibited.

Ot Stale when the Venezuelan message

Ue should know whether Pré», dent
tvilsons action in averting tlie rail
road strike wus a'-surrender to force";
whether tlie Wilson foreign policy has
beeu "timid and vuclllatiug '.
Mr. Oiney seeks ic. (»oliticul prefar
meut; hts Interest Is that of a retired
statesman, of a wise, experienced; dis
passionate patriot, who is concerned
only with tiie welfare of Mr country.
Mr. Oiney has written for the New
lork World a signed article in which
he warns the Ameri.au people against
the du tiger sure to result from turning
over their affairs to Mr. Hughe» and
the interests which would dictate hi»
policies, foreign and domestic.
Where Was Hughe«' Nerve?
Discussing the passage ot tlie Adatn
*° u eight-hour law, Mr. oiuey point«
"Ut Uimi the Republicans of the Senate,
If they had really wished more time
for considération of the bill, could
have obtained it by means of a filibus
ter, as a recognized Senatorial wea
pon. and adds:
"Why did not the Republican Sena
tors resort to it and get all the time
for deliberation they wanted? What
was Candidate Hughes doing that hs
did not make the wires hot with
messages to Washington—warning
against the law the seventy-four Re
publican Representatives who voted
for it and urging the twenty-eight Re-»
publican Senators to filibuster to th*
last ditch?
"But neither he nor the Republican
leaders generally had the nerve to face
the situation. With ample means in
their hands to prévaut legislation until
after its due consideration, they de
liberately elected Unit it should appear
to be enacted under coercion in order
that, after the great national deliver
ance hud beeu effected, they might
object to the mode of it» accomplish
ment.
"A pettier and more ignoble game of
politics never was conceived. lu com
parison, and in view of the sudden and
extraordinary exigency sprung upon
the country, President Wilson's course
was characterized by both courage and ,
common sense."
Of Candidate Hughe» conduct In the
campaign. Mr. Oiney remarks:
"No sooner was the nomination as
sured than the robes and ermine of
the Judge fell from the candidate as
if by magic, and there appeared in
their place the motley wear of the or
dinary office seeker — a transforma
tion as sudden as t liât made by the
wand of Harlequin in the pnutomiiue.
and a transformation showing how
thin 1» the judicial veneer, and for
e\er discrediting the Unit,«! .«'hK-»
Supreme Court as a training camp
for high political office."
Has Kept Rudder True
In It* conduct of foreign relations
the Wilson Administration Mr Ulney
says, "has kept Its milder true and
has won and desert ed tlie respect and
gratitude of the country."
The principle» and object« nf the
Wilson foreign policy as stated by
Mr (Huey have I>**en :
First—To keep the country out
of the great European wiir
Second To lusist ui»>n file ex
istence mid vitality of Int.-rn»
