PACKER MERGER STILLS HOPES OF VETERAN EMPLOYES

WILSON PREDICTS - TRIUMPH FOR HIS i PEACE PRINCIPLES Ex-President, Weak and Frail, f Flays 'Fools' Who Resist Providence, L * By RAYMOND CLAPPER, United Xetca Staff Corretpandent V- WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—Burning -with the zeal of a martyr. Woodrow Wilson made an Armistice day propheey that “utter destruction and coni'] tempt” will oome upon the "fools" •'who have resisted Providence and opposed the principles for which he ” stood. “I have seen fools resist Providence % before, and I have seen their destrucy'tion, as will come upon these again n —utter destruction and contempt,” the former President told the thou•■•sands of admirers who made an Ar--,mistice day pilgrimage to his home S St. *■ Those loyal followers —perhaps 1,- '- 000 of them —were moved with pity as they beheld their aged, broken leader, C.coming haltingly out of his doorway. Whelped along patiently by a white- • haired old darky body servant. Acknowledged Cheers The ex-President stood there on the stoop, bundled in his overcoat. leaning on his stout stick, lifting his hat • In acknowledgment of the cheers that greeted him. He gazed down while Senator Glass of Virginia made the introductory speech, breaking into a laugh at a facetious reference to the j Senate irreconcilables. He seemed occupied with his own ' thoughts and hie Ups moved as if in ■ response to great inward emotions. There was a great cheer as he ’stepped forward. But his words came faintly and haltingly. Once he paused -because of his emotion —and apologized to his listeners. His words came so weakly they could scarcely be heard ten feet away. The old fires within .him seemed to have burned almost • out. Homage to Soldiers < “I wish you would transfer your ’homage from me to the men who made the Armistice possible,” he said, j • •‘lt was possible because our boys had j beaten the enemy to a standstill. It was the boys who made them • stand still.” And his eyes lighted up .and he smiled. The crowd, hitherto moved to silence by the tragic sight, j broke into laughter and applause. | Instantly Mr. Wilson’s face became serious again atfd he continued, slow'ly, pausing between phrases, strug- • gling to give voice to the tumult of • feeling within. "I am proud to remember that I had the honor of being the com-mander-in-chief ” “ The best one on earth.” some shouted. “ Os the most ideal army that ' was ever thrown together—” Here ' words failed to come. His chin quiv- , ered, revealing the internal struggle. "The poor man,” a woman a few feet away gasped. Tribute to Pershing • “Pardon my emotion.” he resumed, after a pause. Then he paid a tribute ■ to General Pershing, “whom I gladly •> hand the laurels of victory.” ] The war President seemed unable to say more and turned back toward the /. door. The band began the opening .bars of “How Firm a Foundation." Wilson paused. It may have been . some association stirred by the strains ■of this t ami liar hymn. Whatever it . was, it lighted the Area in his cold 'eyes. Years and feebleness seemed to - drop away for a moment. He turned back toward the great breathless • throng and raised his band. The l music stopped. ; “Just one word more,” he said, his voice rising with new strength and J vigor. “I cannot refrain from saying it—” . and for a fleeting moment he was the • Wilson of old. His tongue burned the same forceful eloquence that ‘humbled the mighty Hohenzolleins.

Has No Anxiety r> “I am not one of those that hare the least anxiety about the triumph of the principles I have 7 stood for. I have seen fools resist Providence before and I have seen their destruction, as will come upon these again—utter destruction and contempt. That we shall prevail is as sure as that good reigns. Thank you.” He became the frail old man once .more, and fumbling with his cane, turned around and made his way back into the house, while the crowd stood in silence. After he went inside the great throng remained awed by the moving tragedy it had just witnessed. Many aged woman were there. One - collapsed and had to be carried Into -a neighbor ng house. Another one—v her ha r snow white—crowded her -way to the front of the roped inclo--'.sure, clouting a pennant bearing the words. "League of Nat ons.” A boy scout carried a mounted placard read- .< ing. “America’s unident.fied soldier _ shall awaken civ.l.zat.on to reformation.” Band Plays “Over There.” ■* ? The pilgr mage was headed by a - band which marched up playing the war-t me stra.ns of "Over There.” A ' silk American flag waved over the • Wilson door stoop. Many came to get another glimpse ‘ —perhaps the last for many of them —of the war Pres.dent whom they admired. Some of the familiar faces f ‘were seen. Joseph Tumulty, secretary to Wilson dur nv; the e ght years in the £ White House, stood alone in tne : crowd, far back beyond the reach of ’-his former chief's voice. Former San-H-tchcock of Nebraska, who con<4 ducted the League of Nat.ons fight in 2the Senate, and Samuel Gompers were —in the front rank. Senator Swanson -of Virginia, an old friend, was in Van upstairs room wrth 'members of the family. Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, the Wilson phys.ci&n, was e*i hand. Houston Thompson of the Federal Trade Commission, assisted * \

Beauty Represents Shop Girls of World

She will travel to New York in a special train, with a regal trousseau and an entourage befitting an empress. Senator Glass, who introduced the former President. Wife Stands Aside Mrs. Wilson, w*earing a bright red picture hat, stood just behind her husband while he spoke. The crowd remained after Wilson went inside. Soon someone called for William G. McAdoo, Wilson's son-in-law. who has been in Washington for several days, but who had left town a few hours before. The crowd took up the call. McAdoo's tiny daughter, little Faith, was lifted up in the window of Wilson's second floor study while the spectators cheered. Then the Wilsons came out in their automobile, for their afternoon ride. They drove up S St., through a line three blocks long. Receiving a contiguous ovation as they passed. PURDUE TO HOLD EIGHT WEEKS SHORT COURSE Studies in Marketing Will Be One of the New Features.

PASTOIfPOINTS WAY TO END WARS AND BRINGREALPEACE Dr Kistler, in Armistice Day Sermon, Shows Need for Righteous Ideals, “Much of this day agitation for a world court by which to settle disputes among the nations Is valueless, because It, too, is a mere palliative for wrongs already done rather than a cure for the temper which does the wrong,” said Dr. Edward Haines Kistler. Sunday, in his Armistice day sermon in the Fourth Presbyterian Church. "What Is sought in asking peace?” Dr. Kistler asked. "Tacitus pointed out long ago how ‘Some make a desert and call it peace!’ It is not enforced rigor In obedience to others' demands. It lies in a most harmonious concord of all forces, according to an underlying principle of unity. “A soul Is at peace when its powers aie actively working together through out all relations of its life! A nation has peace when its activities are most completely at work In the harmony of 1 prosperity. A world likewise can have peace only as Its parts hold concord or.t Ideals and aims. Shows What World Court Depends lli>on “How can this be done? Your world court Itself must depend, lacking the force to eexcute its decisions, on a harmonious spirit In all its clients Otherwise its decisions, under real or i assumed provocation, will again become but ‘scraps of paper.’ “World peace then depends on the building up of righteously similar ideals In all nations. First of all in this process wiil lie a rewriting of the educational material given in the na tional schools, dethroning national heroes in favor of national purists In ideals. ‘‘For this principle no better basis has yet been found than the old Ten Commandments as deepened into laws of spiritual attitudes by the love rule of Jesus. Business relations among all men must be revolutionized, un til no strong nation or corporation takes advantage of the week and ig , norant in all the world So men must j remake their world in all it* parts to ; bring a true world peace. The Church Must Insist Upon Character in People "Since this involves a deeper need, j the church insists that character- ! forming In individuals, though slow, is the only safe foundation-building. Hence, true missions world-wide must ' herald the power of Jesus Christ, the Son of God to accomplish all these ideal*. And these must be accompanied by an evangelism which truly j makes way for the Prince of Peace and His overlordship in each individual soul. Until this becomes world wide wars will continue, even aggressive war* This the Master foresaw when He foretold their continuance until ‘ He actually comes and rules the . whole world. “The call to peace, therefore. Is far | more an insistent call to a truer work for the souls of men everywhere than It is a demand for another piece of machinery which lacks the full power needed to make men and nations love each other. “Yet It is such a piece of machinery and truly Christian nations, and ours among them, should set it up. abide by its decisions, refrain from needles* wars, while becoming so much the more active in bringing to the souls of men the Divine Recreator who alone can bring true peace to | the soul and the world,” Dr. Kistler j sa! and.

EDUCATION MAY BE WORTHLESS Tastor Declare* That People Must Think of God Continually. “A college education is a good thing, but it amounts to nothing unless the heart has been drilled to think of God,” the Rev. Charles H. Ounsolus said Sunday a> the Brightwood Congregational Church. "What the world needs today Is not hraln development but heart development and culture.” he said. "Our greatest security for the future re quires a larger degree of attention to moral and spiritual development of our youth.” •CONGRESS’ IS ORGANIZED Public Speaking Classes at Technical Have Senate, House of Their Own.

Five Hundred Aged Pensioner s Face Spectre of Suit Filed to Have $300,000 Set Aside as Trust FundBv United Prete CHICAGO, Nov. 12.—Shattered hopes and broken dreams that conjure up the terrifying spectre of poverty in old age against which they thought they were safely guarded, today confront 500 or more veteran pensioners of what was until recently Morris & Cos. The packer merger by which Armour & Cos. purchased Morris & Cos. leaves them stranded high and dry unless they win in a court suit filed to have $300,000 a year set aside to continue pension payments. "Otherwise, the old Morris & Cos. pension system will die when the funds run out next July.

Peter Budoff, now 70 years old, is one of the 500, and his case is indicar tlve of many of the others. Counted on Pension For thirty-eight yekrs Peter Budoff worked in the damp, health-sapping cellars of the Morris & Cos. packing plant. Age crept upon him as the years rolled on, but he never worried; little by little he was paying a part of hie wages each week into the pension fund and he counted on his pension taking care of him when he grew too old to toil. Four years ago Peter Budoff was pensioned at $77.30 a month and he settled back to enjoy a comfortable old age on his pension—or deferred wages, for you may call it either. Suddenly, there came the ArmourMorris merger, followed by a curt note Informing him his monthly pension payments mtist be stopped next July when the funds run out. Is Changed Man Peter Budoff Is a changed man. He never smiles any more: his white head Is bowed, his shoulders stooped. “We worked hard down there in the cellar, but we were happy." said Budcff. "because we had Eddie Morris' word when we got too old to work we would be taken care of. Eddie, you know, was the son of old ‘Uncle Nels’ Morris who founded the company, and father of the two hoys who sold out Morris & Cos., to Armour the other day. “God knows.” old Peter Budoff went on, “That old ‘Uncle Nels’ and Eddie would have rather walked up. to us butchers and said: “Here’s my right arm; cut it off" than to have cast us out at this point in life when we are too old to get another Job.” (Tippled in Accident And then there's Alfred Carlson, local employe for twenty-eight years in the beef curing cellar, and never once “called on the carpet” during that time. He got crippled in an accident one day. eo they retired him cn a pension. Today he is facing—well, maybe he has some kinsfolk who can take him in and maybe he hasn’t. “Eddie Morris.” the old men went on as he drew a damp handkerchief over his eyes, “used to say to me: ‘Now, Alfred, don’t you worry one lit because our pension fund will take care of you when you retire.’ I believed Eddie Morris and I still believe he meant, every word he said If Eddie Morris were e live he would own Morris £ Cos. tods Each Has Own Story Old Peter Budoff and old Carlson are only two of the bits of human wreckage left by the termination of the Morris & Cos. pension fund. Run your eye down the list and look at some of the others —old men. veterans in the twilight of life, no chance to start over now—and their loyal, dependent wives. Here's how tt happened: Morris & Cos., sold out to Armour £ Cos. recently. The purchaser claims that It didn't accept any liabilities — such as the pensions of old men who are no longer fit for work, anyhow. The Morris Pension Fund was liquidated. Employes still paying were refunded their money, plus Interest. Those Morris & Cos. employes who were taken on by Armour & Cos. were transferred to the Armour & Cos. pension system. But the old Morris & Cos. pensioners were cut out cold. They were told their pension payments would cease when the remaining cash on hand was exhausted. Attorneys who have filed suit to have a trust fund set aside for the payment of these pensions estimate such will require about $300,000 a year. They say it is a just obligation and that the pensions due these old men must come either from the Morris Interests, who received $30,000,000 for their holdings, or from Armour & Cos., which boasts that it Is a $500,000,000 going concern today. They are joint defendants. DIDN’T~PAY~ FOR BOOZE f Four Found Fighting Over Money Are Arrested by Police. Lewis Botto, 1036 S. East St.; Joe Carson. 2316% E. Washington St.; Hillard Morris, colored, 610 W. Walnut St., and William Cohen, colored, 341 E.

The men were found in Cohen's automobile fighting over t ’e payment, police say. Botto and Carson arc charged with vagrancy and operat ng a blind tirer, and the two colored men are held on vagrancy charges. Botto was also slated on a charge of failure to have a certificate of title. His automobile was parked near by.
