PRESIDENT IN HIS OPENING
SPEECHES OF TOUR VOICES
HIGH HOPES.
“WORLD WAITS FOR US”
Future Sure To Be Free From War
, If America Carries Out Her
Pledges, Says Chief
Executive.
By Mount Clemens News Bureau.
St. Louis. — Displaying a high
confidence that his follow-citi
zens in the great majority agree with
-tiro In his desire to end war forever,
1 nd that they will see to it that the
peace treaty with its League of Na
tions, inclusion is ratified b» the Sen
ate, President Wilson Is making i
ruccossful way across the country on
the long Journey he has undertaken
for the purpose of laying before the
plain people a report of his work in
Paris and explaining to them Just
what the League means.
Thus far In his travels he has ev
erywhere met with warm greetings,
both in the great halls where he has
spoken formally and In the little
cross-road hamlets where his train
has halted at times and he has ex
changed words with the villagers who
pressed forward to greet him. Ha
feels, and does not hesitate to say so
when chatting with his traveling com
panions, that the| American people
want no more of war and want to be
come part of the League so that there
may be no more war. He struck his
keynote whe,n he said in his first ad
dress, in Columbus, O.:
"This treaty was not intended
merely to end this single war. It Is
meant as a notice to every' govern
ment who In the future will attempt
ihls thing (what Germany attempted)
that mankind will unite to Inflict tno
same punishment. There is no na
tional triumph to be recorded in this
treaty. There is no glory sought fog
any parUcular nation The thought of
the statesmen collected around that
table was of their people, of the suf
ferings they had gone through, of the
losses they had Incurred, of that great
thrcbbfhg heart, which was so forlorn.
to rad In every memory It had of the
fve tragical years that have gone by.
Let us never forget those years, my
fellow-countrymen; let us never for
get the purpose, high and dlsUnten
ested. with whloh America lent Its
strength, not for Its own glory By
the defense of mankind.
“As I said, this treaty was not In
tended merely to end this war. It
was Intended to prevent any similar
war. I woMer If some of the opp>
nents of the >»aguo of Nations have
forgotten the promises we made our
people before we went to that peace
table. We had taken by process of
law the flower of our youth from ev
ery countryside, from every house
hold, and we told those mothers and
fathers and sisters and wives an!
sweethearts that we were taking
those rmkn to fight a war which would
‘nd business of that sort, and If we
do not end it, if we do not do the
best that human concert of action can
do to end it, we are of all men the
most unfaithful—the most unfaithful
to the loving hearts who suffere# in
this war, the most unfaithful to those
households bowed In grief and yet
lifted with the feeling that the lad
ir.id down his life for a great thing,
■nd, among other things, in order
that other lads might never have to
do the same thing.
“That Is what the League of Na
tion Is for—to end this war Justly
and then not merely to serve notice
on governments which could contem
plate the same things Germany con
templated that they will do so at
their peril. But also concerning the
combination of power which will
prove to them that they will do it at
their peril. It Is Idle to say the
world's will combine against you: but
it ip pe?suasive to say the world’s is
combined against you. The League
of Nations is the only thing that can
prevent the recurrence of this dread
ful catastrophe and redeem our prom
ises.”
A League of Nations would have
prevented the late conflict, the Presi
dent asserted, explaining:
"I did not meet a single public
man who did not admit three things:
That Germany would not have gone
into this war if she thought Great
Britain was going Into it, and that
she most certainly would never have
gone into it had she dreamed America
was going Into it, and they all admit
that a -tuition beforehand knowing
that the greatest powers of the world
would combine to prevent this sort of
ihlng would prevent it absolutely.”
Applause and cheers greeted each
declaration of the President that wars
might be avoided in future vv the ope
rations of the League.
He pointed out other important
features of the peace treaty—how it
was the redemption of weak nations,
giving them freedom which otherwise
they never could have won. flow it
says: "These people have a right to
live their own lives under govern
ments which they themselves choose”,
find how ‘‘That is the American prin
ciple and 1 was glad to fight for It."
That was the very heart of the treaty,
he said. J
He drew attention to the section
I i " "' 11 1
of tho treaty which I? a "Magna
C.harta of labor” which shall dispose
of the hours, conditions and remune
rations of labor. "It forecasts tho
day”, he said, "which ought to have
come long ago, when statesmen will
realize that no nation is fortunate
which is not happy, whose people ar*»
vr ntpd, contented in thetr
lives and fortunate In the clrcum
bianco. • (heir llvep.”
PLAN TO REPEAT
ATTACK OF 1916
Railway Employees’ Chiefs Ap
pear at Washington With New
Threat to Congress.
ASK $1,000,000,000 MORE PAY.
Also Demand Nationalization of Other
Industries, Following Example of
Russian Soviets.
Washington.—It is Just three years
since the four leaders of the railway
brotherhoods, having refused arbitra
tion of their demands, sat In the gul
lery of the United States Senate and
held their watches on the Senators
while the memorable vote was being
taken on the Adamson Law that gave
them $00,000,000 additional wages a
year. When the vote was counted and
announced the four labor chiefs rushed
out to the telegraph office and with
drew the order for a nation-wide
strike.
That such a scene may be again en
acted on a much greater scale Is Indi
cated by the startling developments
at the nation’s capital In the past few
days. Now the 350,000 men in the
brotherhoods have been joined by
nmre than a million other railroad
workers--shopmen, trackmen, tele
graphers, clerks, station agents—and
the demands are many times what
they were three years ago.
A Thousand Million Dollars.
On top of n thousand million dollars
l of added wages granted by the Gov
ernment In the past year and a half,
the allied workers are asking for an
other increase of a thousand million
dollars.
But more than this, this groat body
of railroad employees has served an
ultimatum on the Government that all
the railroads of the country must be
taken away from their owners and
turned over to the employees to be op
erated by them on a communistic
profit-sharing plan.
The plan Is as daring as any con
ceived l>y tho Russian Bolshevists, and
behind it Is the threat of a nation-wide
strike, with the leaders of the men sit
ting in the Senate gallery, watches In
hand, counting the vote.
To Tie Up All Transportation.
"We will tie up the railroads so that
they will never run again if we do not
get what we want,” announced one of
the labor spokesmen, standing within
a stone’s throw of the Capitol, and
this amazing announcement, like an
ultimatum from a leader of the Rus
sian Soviet, was Instantly flashed over
the telegraph wires to every part of
the country.
Since the first Brotherhood bomb
shell exploded in Washington at the
end of July, the fact has leaked out
that the brotherhoods are gathering
a propaganda fund of $10,000,000 for
an intensive drive on Congress. Three
million dollars, it is announced, has
already been collected from the mem
bers of the unions. This will he used In
campaign work In the Congressional
districts, with the purpose of enlist
ing the votes of the members of
Congress, or of defeating them for
re-election If they do not vote as tho
brotherhoods dictate. Money will also
lie lavishly spent. It is stated, in send
ing speakers throughout the country
to stir np the enthusiasm of organized
lntmr for the brotherhood plan of
communistic railroad operation.
“Nationalizing” All Industry
“If we don't get what we want out
of this Congress we will put tills
Congress out and put another one in
Hint will give us what we want," is
the matter-of-fact announcement of
the central propaganda office of the
brotherhoods In Washington.
Hack gf the immediate purpose to
gain control of the railroads Is an
even deeper scheme to gain control of
all jareat industries, taking them from
their owners and putting them under
the direct management of the organiz
ed workers, as has been done in Rus
sia, and ns they nre attempting to do
in Germany and Austria.
The reports of the United States
Railroad administration show that the
Government, since it took over the
roads in December, 1017, has increased
railroad wages by considerably more
than a thousand million dollars, and
about $500,000,000 a year is being tak
en out of the National Treasury to
meet the deficit caused by the great
increase in labor cost.
Big Wage Increases.
i he principal advances In wages
have been : To shopmen, $360,000,000;
to unskilled labor, $225,000,000; to the
train brotherhoods, $200,000,000; to
clerks, $125,000,000; to telegraph and
station agents, $100.000,000; to mis
cellaneous classes, $110,000,000.
All of these groups are now demand
ing additional increases of from 30 to
50 per cent. When the Government
took control of the roads the average
earnings of all railroad workers, in
cluding several hundred thousand un
skilled workers, was $1,000 a year. The
average is now more than $1,500 and
•he new demands would raise it to
•2,000.
