W BRYAN TAKES ISSUE WITH WILSON President Wants the Decision of the People and Bryan ' a Compromise ON THE PEACE TREATY Washington, Jan. 9. A split be tween President Wilson and William Jennings Bryan over whether the League of Nations should be made an issue at the coming election top ped off the Jackson Day celebrations of the Democratic party chiefs. It came at the Jackson Dinner as the climax of a day in which San Francisco had been chosen as the meeting place of the Democratic Na tional Convention on June 28, and it charged the air with political elec tricity. President Wilson, In his message read to the diners, assembled in two separate halls, declared that tjie "clear and single way out" was to submit the question to the voters as "a great and solemn referendum." Mr. Bryan showing all the old time vigor with which he lead the fight for the President's nomination at Baltimore in 1912, declared that the Democratic party could not go before the country on the issue, be cause it involved a delay of fourteen months, and meant success only if the Democrats captured a. two-thirds majority of the Senate. The party, Mr. Bryan declared, "must secure such compromises as may be possible." . . The disagreement between the President and his former Secretary of state, the" first in public view since Mr. Bryan left the Cabinet because he did not agree with the Presi dent's course in the diplomatic ne gotiations with Germany, was thus disclosed as a fact, although it has been rumored and reported in the underground currents of national pol itics. In the opinion of the political leaders it crystalized an issue. President Wilson in his message, said nothing whatever about a third term for himself and neither did he make any formal announcement of his intended retirement to private life, as some had forecast he would. Mr.: Bryan, in his prepared address said nothing bearing on any ambition toward a fourth presidential nomina tion, but before reading his manu script he said he hanothing to ask, and that, therefore the diners would not listen to him with the thought that they were listening to a candi date. There were a dozen or more other speakers at the dinners and their views on whether the league should be made a campaign issue were eith er divided in favor of the President's stand or r. Bryan's or else they did not touch on the subject at all. The gist of their speeches might easily be epitomized in this fashion: Senator Pomerene": Ratify the treaty with or without reservations Former Secretary McAdoo: An ar raignment of Republican administra, tion but no expression about the league. Secretary Daniels: Mr. Bryan is entitled to credit for the League o Nations treaty because his peace in vestigation conventions were th ground work for it. Senator Hitcheok: Honorable compromise on the league questio or a finish fight. Senator Owenr Immediate ratifi cation and proceeded with reconstruc tion legislation. Chairman Cummins: "Inevitably impulses" are carrying the Democrat ic party "each day nearer to victory. Governor Cornwell, of West Vir ginia: American institutions are In danger of being overthrown by the unchecked growth of a "labor au tocracy." Vice-chairman Kreme: We accept the gauge of battle. Governor Cox of Ohio: ' The (Old Guard Is in control of the party (Re publican) which is well nigh wreck ed by its greed. Attorney Genera Palmer: The war will not be ovei in faet until the is sues raised are passed upon by the (Continued on page 6.) THE STEEL STRIKE &0ABS MAS J. .X!

"The Steel corporation," the tele gram said, "with the active assist ance of the press, the courts, the Federal troops. State police and many public officials, have denied steel workers their rights of free I speech, free assemblage and the right to organize and by this arbi trary and ruthless missuse of power, have brought about a condition which has compelled the national committee for organizing iron and steel workers to vote that the active strike phase of the steel campaign now at an end.
