J., Sept. 23.—~Pres- ident Wilson opened his “porch cam- it paign” here today with a speech to a delegation of New Jersey business men gathered at Shadow Lawn. Oug- side of his speech of acceptance, it was the first address he had delivered since his nominction. LAl President Wilson declared in his speech that the chief cloud upon the American horizon is the relations be- tween capital and labor. oS long as capital and labor are antagonistic, he said, there well be danger.

The president declared that Amer- ica had devoted itseli “time out of mind” to peaceful pursuits, and that business is the expression of this ob- ject. A new spirit has come over American business recently, he said. “There never was a time when the ulse of energy and success beat so gigh in the fiood of "America,” he said. “But improvements are to come. America is about to release its energy. The problems that are before American business are world problems. Some look backward.” President Wilson replied to the at- tacks of Charles E. Hughes, the re- publican nominee, on the administra- tion’s action in respect to the eight- hour law for railroads. “When 1 was discussing the rail- way situation,” he said, "I realized that the most important thing was to bring employes and employers to understand each other betfer. “It would be intolerable for the commerce of the country to be held up,” said Mr, Wilson. “The danger in the situation was that the people of the nation were not represented.” The president pointed to support by republicans in congress to is plan. He said: “This had to be done at the time it was done.” The president declared that “labor is not a commodity, but a form of co-operation. He urged the necessity of a better understanding between capital and labor, Mr. Wilson said he believed in an eight-hour day because under it men do better work. He cited court de- cigions to show that an investigation the only way to tell whether the oads could afford an ‘eight-hour ANTHRAX EPIDEMIC .
