HUGHES DENOUNCES
LATEST FORCE BILL
Wilson's Demand on Congress
to Yield to Force Called
Humiliating Spectacle.
FAIR INQUIRY IS DEMANDED
Burden Utlimately Falls on Public,
Says Nominee, and It Is Entitled
to Know Details of Delicate
' Questions Involved.
Continued From First Page.)
of immediate political expediency at
the expense of public welfare."
Mr. Hughes spoke before a crowded
house that frequently interrupted him
to applaud. His speech tonight was
his second in Springfield. The. first,
at the State Fair Grounds this after
noon, dealt chiefly with his ideas on
the protection of American industries,
American rights and preparedness. He
also touched tonight on the protection
of "American rights.
"The America of which T have a vi
Bion the America of the future is an
America maintaining American rights
on land and sea. without fear or favor
throughout the world," he said.
The audience cheered and applauded
loudly. Mr. Hughes left Springfield
at 11 P. M. for Milwaukee. He will
reach there tomorrow night and will
deliver six speeches en route.
Humiliating; Spectacle Presented.
Mr. Hughes, after declaring that "the
Just Interests of labor are the concern
of all" and asserting that he desired to
see safe and wholesome conditions of
work, adequate opportunities for edu
cation and recreation, reasonable hours
of labor and fair wages, said in part:
. "The Adamson bill is a force bill. It
was legislation without inquiry, with
out knowledge. The demand by the
Administration for such legislation as
the price of peace was a humiliating
spectacle. It was not only a serious
misuse of official power, but a deplor
able abdication of moral authority. .
"The excuses presented are futile.
The Adamson bill is not a bill provid
ing for an eight-hour workday. It
does not fix hours at all. It regulates
wages. Its provisions do not require
any employer to employ any set of men
for only eight hours a day. Eight
hour day laws are to avoid fatigue and
over-strain- by prohibiting employment
in excess f the requirement. There is
nothing 01 that sort in this bill.
Klght-Hour Day Not Created.
"What it does is to provide by law
for an increase in wages for certain
men. They may work just as long as
before. They may work 10 hours or
more. They are simply to get more
pay. The act provides that in contracts
tor labor and service 'eight hours shall
be deemed a day's work and the meas
ure or standard of a day s work for the
purpose of reckoning the compensation
for services to all employes of the sort
described."
Mr. Hughes quoted the Adamson law,
showing, he said, "in plain English,"
that the men affected are not required
to work eight hours, but are to hav&.lu
hours' .-pay for eight hours' work. wVth
additional pay for additional hours.
"We have words which may seem to
mean one thing and in fact mean an
other,", the candidate continued. "The
phrase 'eight-hour day' is apparently
used to tickle the public ear in order
to establish something quite different.
If it were proposed to give an eight
hour work day, why were not work for
longer hoars, and all contracts for
longer service, prohibited under pen
alty save where emergencies exist?"
Bill Judged by lta Provisions.
"It is said thte bill will have a ten
dency to- procure an eight-hour day.
This is extremely doubtful, but we are
dealing with what the bill actually
enacts, not with inconclusive sugges
tions of tendencies, toward something
else which is not enacted.
"This' bill must be judged by what
it provides, not by what it does not
provide. It is nothing more than a
measure to fix wages and as a measure
to fix wages it must be judged. If as
such a measure its passage was justi
fied, it needs no further excuse. If
not, its passage is not to be condoned
by reference to another eight-hour
work day which it does not establish.
Such reference can only be regarded as
a subterfuge.
"We are therefore not concerned with
anything that is said of the Judgment
of society ' with respect to an eight
hour work day. There is plainly no
judgment of society upon the increase
of wages this bill requires.
"If the asserted judgment of society
inspired it, why does the act apply
only to a limited number of . railroad
men, relatively few? The obvious fact
is that there was a demand by certain
men for an Increase in their own wfcges
and the' Administration in advance of
investigation surrendered to this de
mand."
Need of Investigation Conceded.
Pointing out that the Adamson bill
Itself conceded ttfat the subject was
one requiring investigation, Mr.
ugnes said tnat lr there was any
thing requiring a careful inquiry it
was "a proposition affecting readjust
ment either of rates or of expenses of
carriers, upon whose efficiency "the
community depends." He continued
"What is fair and right must be done.
but what is fair and right must first
be ascertained. When railroads are re
quired to spend additional millions this
burden must ultimately fall on the
public. If expenses are necessarily in
creased beyond what existing rates
will stand, the rates must be increased.
"It was proposed in substance by the
Administration that increased rates
should be charged to shippers so far as
required to pay this increase of wages.
Assurance was given that 'no obstacle
of law' would be suffered to stand in
the way of railroads in Increasing their
. revenue to meet resulting increased ex
penses so far as development of their
business and of their administrative
efficiency did not prove adequate to
meet them.
What Are "Obstacles of lwl"
"We may pause to ask what is the
significance of this reference to od
stacle of law.' The law provides for
'reasonable rates- and an appropriate
percentage for fixing of reasonable
rates by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Were these proceedings and
the provisions of law the 'obstacles of
law' to which reference was made?
Were they to be overcome, if neces
sary to accomplish the desired in
crease? It must be understood that the
burden of increased rates is passed on
to the public. It necessarily affects
a host of activities, agricultural and in
dustrial. "Increases of wages for selected
classes of men on railroads might re
sult in restrictions on a great number
of other working men, not only those
employed by railroads, but upon those
employed in Industries throughout the
country, if the latter be required to op
erate under increased transportation
. charges.
"Again, what becomes of present ad
justments and business agreements re
lating to the men whose services are
involved in this bill if wages are fixed
by law in this manner?
"Manifestly we have here an ex
tremely intricate question of rates and
outlays. What was the manifest duty
of the executive? Plainly to insist that
investigation should precede action and
that nothing should be yielded to force.
It was stated by the executive in his
address to Congress that 'the matter'
had been agitated for more than a year.
Why. then, was it not investigated?
Could the Administration command
all necessary machinery for fair and
thorough inquiry? Not only did the
Administration fail to take proper ac
tion on its own initiative, but the busi
ness men of the country appealed in
vain to the Administration for investi
gation. Their request won no favor
able action.
"Time was allowed to run. and then
came the surrender that shocked the
people throughout the land. Was the
'crisis' unforeseen? Why was it per
mitted to arise, when the Administra
tion was forewarned?
"I stand for the principle of arbitra
tion in industrial disputes. Labor least
of all can afford to have that principle
surrendered. It is a civilized method
as opposed to the injurious contests of
force, which impoverish labor and im
peril the social order. The essence of
the matter is a fair and reasonable
hearing of all parties concerned and a
just determination according to the
facts.
Method Mnst Not Be Subverted.
"It is no answer to say that the
awards of arbitration are not always
just. The effort should be to Improve
reasonable methods, not to subvert
them. Railroad companies refusing ar
bitration have been condemned at the
bar of public opinion and great prog
ress has been made in the direction of
peaceful and reasonable settlement of
labor disputes.
"To say that fair and prompt arbitra
tion could not have been had in this
case is to indict both the Administra
tion and the American people."
Mr. Hughes held that there was "no
justification of the yielding of prin
ciple." Of those who sought to excuse
the Administration on the ground of
exigency he would ask, he said, "how
far do you propose to yield to force?"
Asserting that force "can reject courts
as well as arbitration, that it can dis
pose with any part of the orderly pro
cedure of Government which it may
oppose," Mr. Hughes continued":
"When force is proposed and arbitra
tion is refused, there is but one stand
to take and that is to appeal to the
judgment of the country , to vindicate
the processes of reason. Had the ex
ecutive, when arbitration was declined,
at once directed the entire force of
public opinion, as he easily could, to
the demand for tho recognition of the
principle of arbitration, I have no
doubt he would have won and the Na
tion would have been his debtor.
Public Opinion Still Rules.
Had the executive gone at once to
Congress for immediate authority to
secure prompt and thorough investiga-
lon of the stated grievances in advance
of action and had he thus made instant
provision for an inquiry so entirely
ompetent as to command the respect
of the country, I am satisfied there
could have been no strike. We are still
uled by public opinion and no admin
istration need fear results if it stands
firmly for essential principle."
Mr. Hughes explained that he was
not speaking of "the propensity or ad
visability of fixing wages by law," but
of a more fundamental question "leg
islation according to the facts, as op
posed to "legislation under pressure in
the absence of inquiry. He continued:
We have undoubtedly too much leg
islation without adequate consideration
but tlere are usually the forms and
presumptions of legislative consider
ation on the merits of proposals. Here
even those were absent.
Within a few hours on demand of
the Administration. Congress provided
a mandatory increase of wages, in
volving millions of dollars, without any
idea whether the increase was or wa
not justified. And this action was
taken in connection with the essen
tial instrumentality of commerce, the
arteries of our commercial Ufa.
Mr. Adamson said of his bill: 'It is
hasty legislation, I admit, to meet an
emergency.' What emergency? The
emergency of force to which the Ad'
ministration had capitulated.
'Mr. Underwood said: 'We have no
information on which to legislate and
to fix rates of wages, which we are
going to do- and are attempting to do.
Contrast the action of this Admin
istration with that of Grover Cleveland
in 1886. who said with respect to labor
legislation: All legislation on the sub
ject should be calmly and deliberately
undertaken, with no purpose of satis
fying unreasonable demands or gaining
partisan advantage.
It is idle to excuse the action taken
by the Adamson bill by a request for
additional legislation with respect to
the future. That legislation was not
obtained. We are dealing with what
was demanded and actually enacted.
One of the foremost friends of la
bor in this country states the plain
truth in writing to me as follows:
Those of us who know the labor
struggle and have helped In the fight
for standarizing in our industrial life
well know that in the end laborers
gain nothing by violence. unjust or
arbitrary action of any kind, or the
exercise of anti-social power of any
description. However, some groups
may be advanced in economic power
by illegitimate means, the common in
terests of the great group or toners
can never be. Such gains are always
at the cost of nublic opinion and sup
pbrt, are temporary and evanescent in
character and operate to lessen the co
operation of that just public sentiment
for the well-being' of the woraers o:
the world so essential to their improve
ment of the conditions of labor.
Issue Is Fundamental.
TVe have seen an unjustifiable at-
tembt to use the public sentiment with
respect to another eight-hour work
day in order to Justify, a bill which
does not provide another eight-hour
work day but relates solely to an in
crease in wages. we nave seen tne
choice of what seemed to be the easi
est way, which escaped the necessity
of a determined stand for principles.
We have seen what has appeared to
be the consideration of immediate po
litical expediency at the expense of
public welfare.
The i6sue thus presented is iunaa-
mental. The multiplying activities of
the Government would be intolerable
if we did not proceed in , accordance
with Judgment based on an examina
tion of the facts. These processes of
reason are the only alternative to tyr
anny. We are an alert and Intelligent
people with every opportunity for as
certaining the facts of any situation.
Our problems in the future are likely
to be in the main economic problems
and they will severely test our capac
ity, but we shall find solutions if we
are open-minded and thorough in our
investigations.
"We can stand mistakes in policies
if we are sound in method, but we can
not yield reason to the rule of force.
That is the path of sure disaster. I
should not take the first step in that
path."

Water Rushes In 12-Foot Wave, Car

ing Through Towns and Car
rying Ruin In Path.
LONDON, Sept. 19. Many lives have
been lost and enormous damage has
been caused near Gablonz, Bohemia, by
the bursting of a dam in the valley at
Weissendesse. according to a dispatch
to Reuter's from Amsterdam, quoting
a telegram received from Gablonz.
The villages of Dezzendorr, uieren
bach, Tannewald, Schumberg, Schwarow,
Grosshammer and Haratz are inunaai'
ed. Ten bodies of victims have been
recovered and identified.
BERLIN. Sept. 19. (By wireless to
Sayville, N. Y.) The dam near Gablonz,
Bohemia, which today was reported to
have burst, was in the mountains of
Bohemia, near the German frontier.
Water to the depth of two meters (six
feet) swept through the neighboring
villages, carrying away trees, wooden
houses, parts of bridges and corpses.
The number of the dead has not been
ascertained. The dam was 62 meters
wide at the base and 13 meters high.
The basin had a capacity of 400. 0U0
pnbln meters of water and was con
nected with another basin holding
7,000,000 cubic meters.
Dam Complied Only Year Ago.
The dam. which was situated above
Tannewald. was completed only a year
ago. As the great mass of water was
released, it rushed in a lz-toot wave
down the Weissendesse Valley, carrying
thousands of feet of lumper on its
crest and hurling it with great de
struction and violence against buildings
and bridges in the villages in the cen
ter of the Bohemian glass industry.
Ninety minutes after the break the
flood had reached Tannewald and
mounted to six feet above the bridges
tearing through the town and carrying
away virtually everything in its path.
Similar scenes were repeated in the vil
lages below Tannewald, where the
waters destroyed glass-cutting works.
mills and houses.
250 Dead Reported.
Thus far only 10 bodies have been re
covered. That the loss of life was not
greater was due partly to the hour of
the catastrophe, which was late in the
afternoon, when most of the factories
were empty, and to warnings that were
telephoned down the valley ahead oi
the flood.
A dispatch from Hlrschburg, Silesia,
says tnat, according to aispaicnes re
ceived there, 250 bodies had been re
covered up to noon Tuesday. These in
clude many children. The disaster came
so suddenly that it was impossible to
give timely warning to ail localities.
Messages speak of waves 20 feet high
destroying everything in their path
over a stretch of 12 or more miles.

' LONG BRANCH, N. J., Sept. 19.
President Wilson announced tonight
that he has no Intention of making any

plans already tentatively made for
several speeches on public questions
before non-partisan organizations. This
announcement followed a conference
between Mr. Wilson and Vance McCor
mlck, chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Committee.
The President and Mr. McCormick ex
pressed indignation over stories printed
today to the effect that as a result of
uneasiness over the Republican cam
paign Mr. Wilson had changed his plana!
and would stump the country.
Other Speeches Dlaemiwed.
Chairman McCormick discussed with
the President many invitations received
from different parts of the country
urging Mr. Wilson to make speeches,
but afterward it was said officially
that the daces and dates had not been
decided on. It was understood that
some of these speeches will be in Illi
nois. Indiana, Missouri and New York.
When asked whether the President
would go as far West as the Pacific
Coast, Mr. McCormick replied: "Hardly
that far."
Secretary Tumulty authorized the
following statement:
"The President has no intention-of
making any campaign tour. He does
not intend to change the programme
already agreed upon by those in charge
of his campaign to accept invitations
from non-partisan organizations . to
discuss political questions."
Flrat Speech Set tor Saturday.
The President plans to make ad
dresses on the porch of Shadow Lawn
to delegations from various states who
will call on him. The first of these
will be made Saturday to a delegation
of business men. Mr. Wileon will dis
cuss the record of the Administration's
business legislation. '
Chairman McCormick had a portfolio
filled with letters from Democratic lead
ers and invitations Jrom political and
non-political organizations. He urged
that as many as possible be accepted.
He also told the President of his re
cent trip to Indianapolis and the Mid
dle West.
Preparation of the speech the Presi
dent will deliver next Monday at Balti
more before the convention of the Na
tional Grain Dealers' Association has
been begun. In it Mr. Wilson will re
fer particularly to the rural credits

Mr. McCormick denied emphatically
reports that Democratic leaders arj
