f4-- f Iiittlness of the niorntnir hour. Tlio statemant wan read into i:iu record at tlio request at Henntor Ii Kollctte (Wis,), while Senator Myers (Mont.) announced tliat ho would rather freeze t4 death than yield from tho position as. sutned by tlio Government with regard to the complete Illegality of tho strike. \I bellcv tho United States 1b con- fronted with the grnwst tltuutlon since Ml,\ said Senator Myers. Turning to- ward his Democratic colleagues, he con- tinued : \The jiasnago of the Adamson law nt tho tlmo of tho threatened rail- way strike In 1916 I bellovo to be the primal cause of most of our troubloB I sincerely trust such a tnlatoko will not bo repeated.\ Senator Myers urged that tho present crisis should not product! heedless or pre- cipitate action looking to a compromise. \Delay will but postpone tho evil day,\ said the Montana Senator, \and thero Is nothing In the statement of the cxecu-tlv- o council of the Federation of Labor which would In any way Justify any body of citizens defying the laws and tho courts.\ Then the statement of tho exocutlvo council was rend In full, following Sena- tor La Folletto'a request. A, V, at L. Points Questioned. The Assertion by the executlvo com-in'U- of tho American Federation of that tho Department of Justlco W'ij the President himself had given la- bor leaders nssuranco at tho time tho Lf ver act was pissed that antl-strlk- e In- junctions would not be used under the hill's power waB sharply questioned In the Senate to-d- by Senator Thomas (Col.). The Senator declared that ho did not bellevo this assertion could bo sustained. SJr. Thomas thereupon Introduced a reso lut'wi which would require the Depart inert of Justlco to send Ita tiles to tho fje.VUe to clear up Its attitude at the tlmfc the act was passed. Sfnator Thomas began by reading ex ccrpti from a statement Issued by tho executive council of the American Fed- eration of Labor this morning regarding tho Injunction in tho coal strike. lie called attention particularly to that part ot tho statement in which it 'was said that at the time tho Lever bill was pas!cd President Gompers was assured by 'be Attorney-Cicnera- J, at ' that time Jlr. Gregory, and by \the highest au- thority,\ obviously referring to tho I'res-Ide- nnd tho Congressional committees, thai tho legislation would not interfere with \peaceful strikes.\ deflator Thomas expressed much In teres In the statement that such aesur-r.noc- had been given, Intimating that if tboy were received officially they might glvo tho Federation of Labor's caso at this time a better standing than it would otherwise enjoy. Tho Senator be lleved, that so far as Attorney-Gener- al Gregory and the Senate committee were concerned, Mr. Gompers was tn error, tie did not believe It wua possible that such assurances were given, To reenforco this belief Mr. Thomas read from the record of the Congress proceedings at the time tho L,cver Din Was passed. It showed that an amend ment was Introduced providing that this act, the Lever bill, should not amount t,o n repeal of the Clayton law exemp- tion ot labor and farmers' organizations from tho anti-tru- law. Senator HolllB riald It would be so construed and that tjndor It Injunctions might bo Issued In strikes nnd he was active In efforts to have this amendment Included In the legislation. As Mr, Thomas remembered the amendment was dropped out by tho Conference committee. At any rate, It was not Included In the law. Clearlni; Vp Vaggy Claims. That there might be no misunder standing whatever about tho Senate's jbonceptlon of' tho meaning of tho legis- lation, Mr. Thomas read from remarks jnade by Senator Hollls and Senator Chamberlain on the floor of tho Senate jat that time. They agreed that there jwas nothing In the act that would pre- - ent the Issuance of onHrStrlke Injunc- - ons under It. Senator Hollls went so far as to say that he was Informed by the committee that tho Intention was that Injunction.? might bo Issued under tho law jigainst trlkea durlnsr tho nerlod of the war. It hraa tho conviction ot tho people backing tthe legislation that tho , Government xtight to havo power to prevent strikes. In view of this record, Senator Thomas said, he found it difficult to that the Foderator of Labor ls could have received assurances 'that labor Injunctions could not be Is- sued under tho Lever act. He therefore (introduced a resolution calling on the iAttorney-Gener- al to submit to the Se- nate the (Ilea of his ofllce at that period hiearing on the matter. I Senator Hoke Smith objected to consideration and the resolu- tion went over until u BY FRAYNE DEFENDS GOMPERS DEFIANCE Tells Republican Club Injunc- tion Halted Conl Slriko Settlement. MERJUTT SCORES A. P. OF L. Prof. Sender Declares Middlo Oourso Should Bo Steered Through Crisis. \I didn't expect to come hero and con- vert you,\ said Hugh Frayne, organizer for the American Federation of Labor, to tho on Industrial Rela- tions of the Republican Club in the lat- ter organization's headquarters, 64 West Fortieth street, last night. \What Mr. Oompers has said publicly others have done secretly. Had that In- junction been held back ; had It not been Issued, tho coal strike would have been settled long ago. You can't settle prob- lems by avoiding them, nor by force. If you want to prevent strikes, remove the ( cause. \Vou can't remove Bolnhovlsm by shnntlne It. rlubblnir It nor even by de porting It, except In Isolated cases. I j make no apologies for Mr. Qompers nor for tho mistakes labor unions nave made, but for the good they have done the country ought to be appreciative. Wo are flehtlnir the battles of Ameri canism as It Is y. The employers, brought this objectlonal clement tho nolshevlk element here. When wo I wanted legislation that would bar that; element from tho country we were torn It was Impossible.\ Mr. Frayne thus spoke In rebuttal after ho had held forth on the sldo or tho American Federation of Labor In a discussion on \Collective Bargaining.\ Opposed to him woro Prof. Henry Rogers Scagor of Columbia University, Paul W. Litchfield, of tho Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company; Frank A. Vanderllp and. Walter Gordon Mcrrltt, a lawyer. It wa3 to Mr. VMcrrltt's arraignment ot Samuel Gompers and the American Federation of Labor as nn economic unit that Mr. Frayno made the abovo reply. Prof. Seager had sought to find a middle course to a solution of the present eco- nomic situation. He declared himself for a haoDV medium wherein tho open shop and tho closed shop would both be permitted to flourish In an atmospnero of fair play between all employers and all labor.

Since my speech a month ago It has been apparent that the first opportunity would be sought to Im- pute Improper motives to me, to lessen my Influence In this body and In other ways to let It be known that I was com- mitting a grievous offence by differing from my party associates. It did not need words to convince me how my ut- terances wero received. Tho attitude of some members on this floor very few has demonstrated that sooner or later I would receive their denunciations; and so the Senator from Mississippi sat at a desk In front of mo to-d- watching for tho words to drop from my Hps that might glvo him a chance to say what was In his mind toward me. \I stand here aa a descendant of sub- ject races. If it pleases you better I will speak more plainly. I stand here aa the son of an Irish Immigrant mother and father. Is that nn American?

THIS day we celebrate one of tlic two most wonderful achievements in the Amer- ican arms. However glorious as have been our martial victories at Yorktown, and in France, and as much as they have done for us and the entire human race, our real work for mankind lies before us. It is not to be done in destructive war. It is equally hard, but it is constructive work. Our duty calls us into the fields of education and industry. Traditions are born and grow great among families and nations because they will not try to get at basic facts, but lazily and thoughtlessly choose the easy way. The pioneers in the new world were given a marvellous oppor- tunity to break from old traditions. They did it, and gave the world many courageous, bold, thoughtful, industrious men, who raised tre- mendously the average number of planners and doers in the world. We. in America, with no more pioneer days to live, must not forget the lessons they taught. With general education, with the press and tiie telegraph, and now with a practical understand- ing of the value of the development of person- alities through psychology, we can, when we turn our wills to the subject again, casting aside tra- dition, raise the average number of these thought- ful, courageous, bold, industrious men, possess- ing unusual ability to plan and execute. The price that must be paid for the benefits of civilization is that we must enter into the or- ganization of civilized society and bear our part of the burden. Work is what it takes. The dispo- sition of generations now gone was to produce more than they consumed. This made capital- - -- that surplus of labor over and above what neces- sity requires. Civilization is always using up capital, and it can only be maintained if the sup- ply of capital is kept up. The higher and more effective the organiza- tion, the more imperative is When men quarrel with each other, they fall back under the dominion of that part of nature which cannot think and plan and work in excess of its neces- sities. In the wisdom of God, men were given power over the rest of nature, but to enjoy their power men must work. A desire for wealth is a thirst for independence from the ills of life. Inde- pendence plans for civilization. The develop- ment and control of wealth is concerned with human welfare. Denunciations of the desire for wealth arc childish. Has the world forgotten that the only way to get the best from men is to give them first a just , wage, and, after that, the leadership and .sy- mpathy that not only wins the hand hut the heart and the head on the job? This has not been forgotten, and these three powers behind pro- duction, behind civilization LAB OH, MAN- AGEMENT and CAPITAL are getting the habit of thought, and each realizes the import- ance of judging its own group first, so that each one can be fair to the other two. Labor, Management and Capital should and will become partners, not only in physical values, but partners also in mental and spiritual values. But America is preparing to win, and will win, this great battle in the fields of education and industry to our own lasting glory and to the glory of mankind.
