HUGHES DODGES ISSUE
ON EIGHT HOUB LAW

Attacks Wilson's Plan but Won't
Tell Public What He Would
Have Done, ij;
ONLY WAY TO AVERT STRIKE

Republican Nominee It Asked to De
clare If He Would Have Vetoed the
Bill With Certain Assurance of v
Industrial Oleaster J
80 busy has been Charles E.
Hughes criticising the deeds of the
Wilson Administration that he hns
bad Uttle time, or has purposely
evaded, telling the public what he
would hnve done had be been I 'resi
dent under similar circumstance*.
Uitely Mr. Hughes has turned his
attacks upon President Wilson's suc
cessful settlement of the crisis lu the
railroad world by ? causing to be (
pnss.-d by Congress the Adutnson |
eight-hour bill. Mr. Hughes bus ehar- |
acterized this action us a Surren
der to force" ; he |s "opposed to being ,
dictated to by any power on earth
before the facts are' known"; and he
would not act until he had had a "fair
Invextlgaiion und candid treatment."
Taking issue with the Republican
candidate's attitude the New York
Time*. In an editorial, asks:
"WI1AT WOULD MR. HUGHES
SAVE DONB1
"Well, what way would Mr. Hughes
hnv?* taken?" continues the Times.
"What would ho have done? 0 Hei'e
wns 'Mr. Wilson's position: .The
brotherhood refused arbitration.' the,
railroad presidents would uot accept
the set t lenient Mr. Wilson proposed,
granting the eigbt-hour standard day
with provision for an Impartial Iftqniry
into its working. There was no law
on the statute books to enforce arbi
tration.
"The President knew, knew^'wlth
certainty and heyond question, thnt
he could not get such a law from the
(Vngr^ss , now In session. The aure
and inevitable alternative to hi* ac
ceptance of the eight-hour standard
dry meacure was a strike, the sus
pension of railway service, freight and 1
; pa-crnger, all over the country, be
gi nlng on the morning of Sept. 4th. |
WOULD HUGHES HAVE DONE IT? j
| "Mr. Hughes 'would not surrender
to anybody in the country.' Then he j
wuitl have surrendered the country
to the disturbance, immeasurable loss, ]
and peril of a strike. Would He. In j
fat. hnve done that? Had he been '
President, confronted by that sltun- |
ti? n would "Mr. [Indie* hnve brought
on a strike by fefu-dng to sign the
bill granting a wnge increase? There
u.'s the strike In plain sight, t few
h'-i:rs nwny. nnr?? to uutM. Would Mr. ,
IT r.rhcs hnv?? vetoed the hill? On the
contrary, would he not have done Just
wliut Mr. Wilson did. sign It? ' . . '
| "The Republican mndidate 'stands
for two things: 'Flr^t,* for thd prln
| cl'ilv of fnlr.Jinpartl.il. thorough, can
did. arbitration; nnd second, for
legislation on facts according to the
necessities of the case.' Mr. Wilton
! ct jnds for those two things and, much
| more, has pledged himself to use all
his influence to secure them, -i
"What more could Mr. Hughes do?

The value of the natural gas pro

West Virginia led' all* other states
In output with 244, 004. 159.0(H) cub

much lower rate of 9.7 cents per cu
bic foot, or a total or $39,147,688
for the remaining 65 per cent of the
I total output.
President Wilson recommended that
arbitration judgment? be made rec
ords of a court of law. In order that
their Interpretation und enforcement
may not lie with the parties to the,
'dispute, but 'with an Impartial and
authoritative tribunal.' It was his
purpose in this recommendation to
provide against future emergencies,
to prevent the recurrence of such
dangers as then confronted bim and
the country.
ADVICE TO RAILROADS.
"The people of the United States
are not going to be put off with the
misinformation as to What the Presi
dent did to avert a strike and to pre
vent the threat of future strikes. We'
have mason to believe that the full
revelation of what be did. what he
tried to do. and what he nearly suc
ceeded In doing In the White House
conferences would put such a face
upon the matter that Republican ef
forts t? mako an Issue of It would
fnll entirely flat.
"But the people do know, for It was
before them In the President's address
to Congress, that he proposed, not a
siugle emergency act. but n broad
program of legislation to meet a Ipub
llc need and permanently remove a
public dnnger. It was u program
which we nro convinced the railroads
would be very wise to accept In lt?
entirety.
"Certainly "it seems to us thnMhey
are 111 advised to .pray for the elec
tion of Mr. Hughes, who. ff we take
him at his word, would have brought
on the strike, \\1th all Its Irreparable
Injuries to the country's business and
peril for tbi country's poacu.7
