COAST TO COAST U. S. FOR LEAGUE

MILLIONS ACCLAIM WILSON Al HE SPEEDS ACROSS THE LAND. FEW ASK FOB CHANBES Majority Fool That President** Quid- , anoe Should Be Held—He Regards Pact As Sure to Come Roon. (By Mt Clemens News Bureau) Aboard President Wilson’s Special Train —From the Capital at Washington to the far Pacific coast the President of the United States has Journeyed on the most unusual expedition erer undertaken by a chief executive of the nation.

To discuss national questions, many presidents have toured the land; but Mr. Wilson is laying before America a question which affects the whole world —the question of whether or not we are to join in the League of Na tions; whether we are to forget our former isolation and share with the other peoples of the earth the responsibilities of maintaining civilization «pd preventing, as he says we can do, future warfare. Between the capital and the coast the president made fifteen speeches and half a dozen brief talks. All oi 100,000 fellow citizens listened to him. Several millions had the chance to see him, and apparently everyone wanted to see Him, from those who thronged the streets of the cities and towns where he stopped, to those who came to the railside or stood at little flag stations in remote places, knowing their only reward could be a fleeting glimpse and a wave of the hand. He has met and talked to all types i»! citizens —to men big in the business* financial and professional worlds, to farmers and mechanical workers, to Indians and cowboys and foreignborn herders and rangers, to soldiers and to mothers who lost soldier-sons in the late war. What do ttiey all tell him? unanimously they say they want peace definitely they want no more wars, they want the League of Nations, and most of the American people, it may tfb fairly said, tell the President they want the League Just as it is, without the reservations ox amendments which certain senators have insisted upon. The majority ol citizens say to those who interview them on this tour: ’•Woodrow Wilson guided us rightly before and.during the war with GerXnany. We entered that war, everyone agrees, to end all wars. He says the league can do that We want to •do that, so let us keep on trusting him and get the league into operation as soon as possible. Forget politics.” Most Americans encountered on the tour have forgotten politics. Republican Governors and Mayors have introduced the President 'to his audience; the Major part of the local committees which have met him have 4>een Republicans. They have all said: nothing but Azpericans, Mr. President.” Jdr. WUsog’s arguments for the league, briefly summarized, are those: There can be no peace, either now er in the future, without it. There can only be a regrouping of nations and a new "Balance of Power,” which Is certain to lead to war. There can be no war In the future, with the league in existence, because no single nation would defy the united rest of mankind, and if it dM, it could be brought to terms by an economic boycott, and without the use of arms. There can be no reduction in the cost of living until the league is es tabllshed, for nations will not go ahead with peace time production un. til they know that peace is definitely assured and that production of war material is no longer necessary.

There can be wonderful prosperity, wdth the league in existence, for relations of labor and capital all ove.’ the world will be made closer and more friendly, and the worker will receive a fairer share of what he produces. These declaration of the president, logically and eloquently put, have left his hearers th; c .ng and thinking deeply. And then Mrs Wilson has pointed out, the people themselves, as differentiated from senators and politicians, seem to want just what the president wants, which is America for leadership. • Quite as unusual. as the purpose oi the cross country tour is the manner in which it is being carried out and the completeness of the arrangements on the nine car train which is bearing the party. At the rear is the private car Mayflower, occupied by the President and Mrs. Wilson. Next is a compartment car for the secretary Tumulty, Admiral Grayson, Mr. Wilson’s Physician, four stenographers, the chief executive clerk and seven secret service men. Byond are three compartment cars which house twenty-one correspondents, five movie men, and a telegraphic and a railroad expert. Then there is a dinner, a club car, and two baggage cars, one of them oon. verted into a business office. The train was exactly on time at every stop between Washington and the Coast

GREATEST LABOR FIGHT IS ON

Steel Strike Beginning of Battle to Socialize Industries. Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 19A-“We are going to socialize the basic Industries of the United States. This is the beginning of the fight.” Chairman Fitzpatrick of the organizing committee of the steel industry made these statements in an interview here after the adjournment of the union heads at which definite decision for the steel strike beginning September 22 was taken. “We are going to have representatives on the board of directors of the Steel corporation,” he added. "President Wilson has promised that, inef-. feet, in his program for the placing of Industry on a better basis. Under the direction of the men who now control the Industry, the workers have been reduced to such conditions that they cannot live wholesome, clean Uvea.”

Paris, Sept ID.—The chamber oi deputies is expected to ratify the treaty with Germany today, or Saturday at the very latest .

Longuet assert ed that when Bullitt left Paris he wax the bearer of peace terms offered by the peace conference to Russia —terms which had been edited by Preralei Lloyd George and approved by President Wilson. Premier Clemeceau arose at this juncture to protest. "Mr. Lloyd George or Mr. Wilson never mentioned the matter to me," he said. M. Longuet then read what he said were the clauses in the peace terms taken to Russia by Bullitt as follows: 1. The Immediate cessation of hostilities. 2. The bolshevik government to control the territories it occupied at the time. 3. Freedom of seaports and railroads. 4. Free passage for the allies across Russia. 5. General amnesty for political prisoners. 6. Resumption of commercial relations between Russia and the allies 7. Immediate Russian demobilization. Premier Clemenceau reiterated.

COULD HARDLY DRESS HIMSELF Tanlac End* Ten Year*’ Rheumatism for Farmer Clark—Gains 18 Pound*. “There; that’s the stuff that set my stomach and kidneys right and drove the rheumatism out of my arms and legs after I had suffered torture for over ten years,” said L. H. Clark, a well known farmer of Brimfield,. 111., as he pointed to the Tanlac display in the Sutllff & Case store at Peoria, recently. “My neighbors will tell you," he continued, "just any time you ask them, that they never saw a man come out like I have. Why, I have gained 18 pounds in weight and can do more work than at any time in 10 years. Before I started on Tanlac my stomach just seemed to be almost Completely played-out. Every bite I would eat would get as sour as vinegar and pretty soon gas -would form and cause such awful cramping pains that I could hardly stand it. Then I* would get so dizzy that everything seemed to be whirling around. The minute I would He down at night and close my eyes everything seemed to start turning over. I finally got so I couldn’t eat much of anything and I was so run down and weak that I couldn’t work regular. I always managed to drag around and"do the little work abou| ? the bam until my kidneys got out of order and I got the rheumatlsifi, and then I was laid up for weeks at a time. I’ve seen the time when I couldn’t have walked from the house to the barn to save the best horse I’ve got, I -was so crippled up with rheumatism. My legs were swollen up to twice their natural size Z and I couldn’t take a step without just suffering like ‘blue blazes.’

“My back was in such a bad shape with rheumatism that If I stooped over -to pick up anything I would just see stars, and there were weeks at a time when I had to be perfectly quiet. I could hardly dress myself and went down so fast that no one thought I would be well again. Well, I was just about ready to * give up the fight when I at last ran across'this Tanlac. After I commenced taking this medicine I soon started gaining ground and it wasn’t long until I was well on the road to recovery. I found that it was Just what I needed and I never allowed myself to miss a dose. Well, the results are that I am now perfectly sound and well and • know what good health is -for the first time In 10 years. I can eat just anything and my stomach feels just like a new one. My kidneys don’t bother me any more and -I never feel a sign of rheumatism, and I sleep so sound that the horses might kick the barn down and I don’t believe I would hear them. Yes, sir, it’s Tanlac and nothing else that put me on my feet and I appreciate it enough to tell the world what I think about it.” Tanlac is sold in Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck. —Advt.

STEEL STRIKE IS SET FOR MONDAY

Unions Say Only Gary Can Prevent Walkout by Granting • Conference. STATEMENT BY.LABOR HEADS National Committee Declares Head of Corporation Errs When He Doubts Labor Agents Speak for Workers. Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 19.—The steel workers’ natlonal committee made public a letter to President Wilson. It gives 11 reasons for not complying with his request to postpone the strike. With this final letter turning down the president’s request for delay, the great strike now appears inevitable. Leaders of the unions are leaving for. their homes to make final preparations for the struggle. Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept 19.—Before resuming their discussion on inalters In connection with the steel workers’ strike, called for next Monday, the national committee for organizing Iron and steel workers issued a statement saying that, having failed to obtain a conference with (he United States Steel corporation, the last and only hope is to strike until stich time as the corporation will meet the represenitdtives of the men. The statement follows: “In his letter of September 16 to the presidents of the subsidiary companies of the United States Steel corporation, Judg? Gary avers that he had two reasons in mind when be refused to meet

with the Almfrlcun Federation or unbor committee. which called upou him ru><-ntly requesting a conference fibf the purpose of presenting grievance* of hl* employee*. Fears Closed Shop’s End. “Flrft. he did not believe that the "oinmlttcd was authorised to speak fur large numbers of. tlft employee*. "Second, a conference with the committee would buve been treated by them as a recognition of the ‘closed xhop‘ method of employment. “If these are the real reasons nctu atlng Judge Gary, surely they nre not sufficient to plunge the Industry Into a great labor conflict. Judge Gary presents a false premise and then declares that he will stand or full upon this false ground. “The committee thut waited m>on Judge Gary were the selected representatives of the employees. And they requested a conference for the purpose Of establishing the principle of collective bargaining and some practical method of redressing grievances. Decide to Use Other Methods.

“Judge Gary denied their authority to represent the employees and refused to meet them in conference. The only way left for the employees to convince Judge Gary that the committee does represent the great body of the employees of the United States Steel corporation Is to cease work until the corporation agrees to meet their representatives in conference. This, the employees have decided to do on Monday morning, September 22. “It Is unfortunate that the employees are compelled to resßrt to a strike In order to prove the authority of their selected representatives to present their grievances. But as there Is no other way, the proof, In the form of a strike, will effectually rtmove all doubt In Judge Gary’s mind. ««Tn the qecond place. Judge Gary sets the question of the closed shop, which has absolutely no basis whatsoever In the present controversy. It is simply dragged In here by Judge Gary as a bugaboo to becloud the real Issue. “There Is one and only one question at issue, and that Is the question of a conference. The employees have exhausted every avenue of approach to the corporation for the purpose of securing a conference, and every avenue has been closed to them. “Their Last and Only Hope.” “Their last and only hope Is to strike, and now the employees declare that they will work on next Monday morning until such time as the corporation will meet their representatives In conference for the purpose of establishing humane and reasonable methods of dealing with the very vital problems which affect their lives, thelhomes and the future. —John Fitzpatrick, D. J. Davis, William Hammon, W. Z. Foster.”
