Governors in various states reported that their operators and miners had no dispute and were eager to resume production. District leaders informed me that thelr workmen were anxious to return to their jobs, but that they were not permitted to do so. Hun- dreds of wives of workmen have ad- dresseit the White House, beseeching a settlement, alleging that they knew no grievance, and there {s an unend- ing story of appeals for relief where necessity or suffering were impelling, Jwhere a mere expression of need ought to find ready compliance. PART FIVE. | At every stage, the government has! been just and neutral regarding wage) scales and working contracts. here are fundamental evils in our present aystem of production and distribution which make the wage problem diffi-| cult.

By continuous employ-! ment, mean approximately 280 work- ing days in the year. In many in-| stances last year men were employed} lost sight of in subsequent develop- ments. In any event, it was always possible to appeal for rehearing and the submission of new evidence, and it is always a safe assumption that a government agency of adjustment de- ciding unjustly will be quick to make right any wrong. The railroad labor board wae cre- ated by congress for the express pur- | pose of hearing and deo!ding disputes between the carriers and their em- ployes, so that no controversy need lead to an interruption in interstate transportation. It was inevitable that many wage disputes should arise. Wages had | mounted upward, necessarily and just- lly, during the war upheaval likewise the cost of transportation, so that the higher wage might be paid. It was inevitable that some readjust- ment should follow. Naturally these readjustments were resisted. The ad- ministrative government neither advo- cated nor opposed. It only ‘held that the labor board was the lawful agency of the government to hear and decide disputes and its authority must be sustained, as the law contemplates. This must be so, whether the carriers or the employers ignore its decisions. PART NINE. Unhappily a number of decisions of this board had been ignored by the carriers.

Knowing that some of the carriers had offended by {gnor- ing the decisions of the board ‘and employes had struck when they had & remedy without the strike, I felt it Was best to start all over again, ro- sume work with all agreeing to avide faithfully wy the board's decisicns, thus to make {t a real tribunal of Peace in transportation. The barrier to be surmounted was the question of seniority. By, the workmen these rights are held to be sacred, and unsurrendered by a strike By the carriers the preservniton of seniority is the weapon of diseioline on the one hand, and the reward of faithful employes on the other. It bas been an almost invariable rule that when strikes have been lost seniority and ite advantages have been surren- dered, when strikes have been seitied seniority has been restored PART ELEVEN. In the tentative proposals which I sponsored, it was provided that every: body should go to work, with seniority right unimpaired, that there should be no discrimination by either workmen or carriers against workmen who did not strike. I realized that the pro- posal must carry a disappointment to employes who had inherited promotion by staying loyally on the job, and to such new men as had sought jobs looking to permanent employment; but I wanted the fresh start and maintain. ed transportation service, and I ap- praised the disappointment of the few to be less tmportant than the impend ing misfortune to the nation. It was not what I would ask ordinartly to be considered or conceded, but at that moment of deep anxiety, with the coal shortage gravely menacing, I was thinking of the pressing demands of the welfare of the whole people. I be- Heved the sacrifice brought to the men involved could be amply compensated for by the carriers in practical ways. I believed the matter of transcend | ant importance was the acceptance of the proposal te respect the labor board's decisions on the gestions which proposing to reemploy all strikers except those suilty of violence against workmen formed the issue at the time of the strike. The public compensation would be complete in guarding against recurrence. The proposal was rejected by the carriers. Though the rejection not end all negotiation, it left government only one course—to call the striking workmen to return to work, to call the carriers to assign them to work and lenve the dispute about seniority to the labor board for decision. When negotiation or medi ation fails, this is the course contem plated by the law and the government can have no chart for its course ex. capt the law To this call a majori riers by law sid the y of the car. responded favorat Property, to'restore the striking men to thelr old positions where nt, or to like positions where va. canctes were filled; questions of sen lority which cannot be settled between the employer and the employes to go to the labor board for decision. The minority of the carriers proposed to assign jobs to workmen on strike only where the positions were vacant. Neither proposal has been accepted. ‘Thus the narrative brings us to the present moment, but it has not includ. ed the developments which Have heightened the government's concern. Sympathetic strikes have developed here and there, serlously impairing: interstate commerce. Deserted trans- continental trains in the desert re- gions of the southwest have revealed the cruelty and contempt for law on the part of some railway employes who have conspired to paralyze transporta- tion; and lawlessness and violence in a hundred places have revealed the failure of the striking unions to hold their forces to law observance. Men who refused to strike and who have braved insult and assault and risked wor vac: Stella La Mar’s Diving Venuses, with the Lachman Exposition show at ‘The opening day or night, rather, of the Spanish War Veterans’ fes- tival has been changed from next Monday to tomorrow, Saturday night. ‘This change has been made as the Lachman Exposition Shows decided that it was a safe move to come to Casper earlier than at first sched- uled on account of the unsettled ‘rail conditions. ‘The shows and rides will be sot up back of the courthouse on the vacant lots and a part of the street. A large tract of ground hed to te leveled off to provide room for the extensive equipment carried by the Exposition Show. ‘There are a number of novelties with the Lachman Shows, Many of them new to Casper and all of a nature worthy of the patronage of all classes. Four of the best riding devices ever seen in this city. fur- their lives to serve a public need have been cruelly attacked and wound- ed or killed. Men seeking work and Suards attempting to protect lives and property, even officers of the fed- eral government have been assaulted, humiliated and hindered in their duties. Strikers have armed them- selves and gathered in mobs about railroad shops to offer armed violence to any man attempting to go to work. There is a state of lawlessness shock- ing to every conception of American law and order and violating the cher- ished guarantees of American freedom. At no time has the federal government been unready or unwilling to give its support to maintain law and order and restrain violence, but in no case hus state authority confessed its in- ability to cope with rhe situation, and asked for federal assistance. PART THIRTEEN. Under these conditions of hindrance and intimidation there has been such @ lack of care of motive power that the deterioration of locomotives and the non-compliance with the safety re- quirements of the law, are threaten- ing the breakdown of transportation. This very serious menace is. magni- fled by the millions of losses to fruit growers and other producers of per- ishable foodstuffs, and comparable losses to’ farmers who depend on trans- portation to market their grains at harvest time. Even worse it is hi dering the transportation of available coal when industry is on the verge of paralysis -because of a coal shortage, and life and heat are: menaced by al coal famine in “the great centers of population. Surely the threatening} conditions must impress the congress and the country that no body of men, whether, limited in numbers und re- sponsible for railway management, or powerful in numbers and constituting the necessary forces in railroad oper- ation, shall he permitted to choose a course which imperils public welfare. Neither organizations of employers nor working men’s unjon may escape responsibility.. When related to a pub- lice service the mere fact or organiza-| tion magnifies that responsibility and public interest transcends that of either grouped capital or organized labor. PART FOURTEEN. | Another development is so signifi- cant that the hardships of the mo-| ment may well be endured to rivet popular attention to the necessary settlement.

PART SIXTEEN. President Harrison asked for ths same bestowal of jurtadiction, having encountered “deep ~ embarrassment which grew out of the lynching of 11 aliens jn New Orleans in 1891. Presi- Gent McKinley, dealing with a like problem in 1899, asked the converring upon “federal courts jurisdiction’ in that class of international cases where the ultimate responsibility of the federal government may be' in- volved. President Roosevelt uttered a like request to congress in 1906, and President Taft pointed out the defeat in the present federal jurisdiction when he made his inaugural address 1909. He declared that “it puts our government in the pusillanimous position to make definite engagements to protect aliens and then to excuse the failure to perform the engage- ments by an explanation’ that the @uty to keep them js in states or cities. not within our control. If we would promise, we must put ourselves in a position to perform our promise. We cannot permit the possible failure of justice due, to local prejudice in any state or municipal government, to exposo us to the risk of war which might be avoided if federal juriadtc- tion were assured by suitable legis- lation by congress. | My renewal of this oftmade recom-| is impelled by a pitiable sense of federal impotence to deal with the shocking crine at Herrin, Ill., which so recently shamed and horrl- fied the country. In that butchery of }human beings, wrought in madness, it js alleged that two allens were! murdered. This act adds to the out- raged sense of American justice the) Humiliation which Mes in the federal work and‘to live and chuose their own lawful ways to happiness.

If free men cannot toll ac- government's confessed lack of su- thority to punish that unalterable crime, PART SEVENTH. Had it happened in any other land han our own, and the wrath of right- eous justice were not effectively ex- pressed, we should have pitied the civ- ilization that would tolerate and sor- rowed for the government, unwilling or unable to mete out just punish- ment. I have felt the deep current of pop- cording to their own lawful choosing, all our constitutional guarantees born of democracy are surrendered to mo-| bocracy, and the freedom of a hun-! dred millions is surrendered to the! small minority which would have no} law. | It fs not my thought to ask con-| Gress to deal with these fundamental | problems at this time.

There| are laws to assure the highest poss!-| ble safety In raflway service. It is my purpose to invokesthese laws, {1 and criminal, against all offend- ers alike. PART FIFTEEN. The legal safeguarding against like menaces in the future must be worked out when no passjon sway! when no prejudice influences, when the whole problem may be appraised, and the public welfare may be assert- ed against any and every interest which assumes authority beyond that of the government itself. One specific thing I must ask at your hands at the earliest possible moment.

It is a regrettable truth that the fed- eral government cannot act under the law. But tho bestowal of the juris- diction necessary to enable federal courts to act appropriately will open the way to punish babarity and butch- ery at Herrin or elsewhere, no mat- ter In whose name or for what pur- pose the insufferable outrage is com- mitted. It is deplorable that there are or can be American “communities where [conflict with public iffterest, precise \ly as we have been progressively lez- islating to prevent capitalistic, cor- orate, or managerial domination ‘#hich {» contrary to public vrelfare. We also recognize the right of em- ployers and employes allke, within the law, to establish their methods of conducting business, to choose their employment and to determine their relations with each other. We must reassert the doctrine that in this re- public the first obligation and the first allegiance of every citizen, high [or low is to his government, and to }hold that government to be the just and unchallenged sponsor for public welfare, and the liberty, security and rights of all its citizens. No matter what clouds may gather, no matter [what storms may ensue, no fatter lprhat hardships may attend or what |sacriiice may be jcessary, govern- |men by iaw must and will be sus- tained. Wherefore I am resolved to use all | the power of the government to main- jtain transportation and sustain the right of men to work. GREAT SUB-SEA BUSHER FOUND {Continued from page one.) where the San Jacinto picked up the floating field of oil three years befors reported a mile wide oll stain “which could be seen. bubbling on the sur- face in three jets.” Through the years that followed, report of ofl on the sea’s surface have come at frequent intervals.

One observation was made about 20 miles off Galveston tn 16 fathoms, and others from that point out to the spot 200 miles from shore where the bulk of oil float has been noted through the years in an area measuring about 200 miles each way. The navy department experts har- ard no guess as to the explanation of these yellow smears on the sea’ face. Some of the ship masters have assumed. that the ofl came from sunk- en wrecks and that seems probable in many isolated cases. But there is no explanation of t repeated appear- ance of ofl in the one gulf region un- less it comes from a sub-sea gusher spouting a mile beneath the surface, WYOMING COAL even there are citizens, not to speak ‘of public officials, who belleve mob avelfare 1s admissible to cure any sit- uation, It is terrorizing to know that such madness may be directed against men merely fcr choosing to httempts at adjustment, I refer to the federal government to be able to put an end to such crimes against civil- ization and punish those who sanction | them.

A small payment will secure any garment until delivery is desired. Beautiful window displays bweve been noticed by shoppers in passing the store and these are but @ small representation of what the Leader holds for its patrons. Says Mr. Hirsch, “This is a sale of great opportunities. We have posi- tively never received anything like the beautiful clothes that we now have in stock, nor would we have thought for & moment that we could dispose of such fine garments at such modest prices. But wholesale conditions, and the fact that we bought a tremendous amount of fall merchandise early, have made it possible for us to offer to the people of Casper some of the finest and most unusual bargains that can be secured anywhere.” Classified ads in the Tribune are winners and possibly the keys we give with every 50c paid at office will win you a big prize. 8-12-+4f ——$_.—___—_ Meet Moe at the Smokehouse.
