and weakened the foundations of our governmental institutions." "One weakness about this charge is that it is false. Nobody threatened the president or congress nobody demanded anything of them. The controversy was purely industrial. "The trouble had reached a point so acute that these hundreds of thousands of men were on the, verge of a strike, with its consequent paralysis of railroad transportation."
The statement points out that while the crisis existed, senators and representatives and members of the administration were receiving communications from all sections of the country indicating that "the public sentiment almost universally favored any reasonable means of averting this catastrophe." "The fact is," he continued, "the very threat of this nation-wide lockup caused a big jump in the prices of all the necessaries of life and industry, and it is worthy of note that when the danger .passed prices went back to normal. "Mr. Hughes, hard driven,' is appealing to powerful special interests. I am sure the president has other things of vastly greater importance to talk about but he can meet this issue without a shadow of apprehension. "I would turn from Morgan, Perkins, Roosevelt, Root, Lodge, Penrose and all such as these who preach these strange doctrines and ask the' great masses of the people whether the president was right. Moreover, when powerful, opulent, sinister, ispecial interests assail the president, because of his fine act ask the. wo.rkingman, who with, the president, must bear tlie .brunt of these attacks—for they are aimed at the great labor interests of the country— what answer they will make."
