Japan Is building a far eastern empire which will become "a peril to America and threaten the safety of the world. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the republican leader, declared today in tempt, they never have met it profes sionally by an unequivocal statement to the . country explaining the exact nature of Mr. Wilson'a illness. They have allowed rumor to discredit their bulletins and the worst interpreta tions to be put on every phase of his illness. We are aware that this policy is strictly in accordance with the ethics of their profession, but it hap pens that the president of the United States is no ordinary patient and these are no ordinary circumstances. "No other man is so much needed in the world today as Woodrow Wilson. Kvery country in the world has some thing at -stake in his capacity for continued service. His continued dis ability would not only be a national calamity, but an international calam ity, and the facts as to his condition should not be veiled in professional reticence that leaves them at the mercy of the gossip-mongers of two continents."

The climax of the day's tense ses ions, one of which waa recessed in ; the midst of confusion, came late in the day when Samuel Gompers made an impassioned plea for intervention in the steel strike and reviewed the negotiations leading up to the calling of the strike on September ZZ. Bolshevik Actios Charged. Looking directly at Judge Gary, chairman of the I'nlted States Steel corporation, seated less than 13 feet - away, the labor leader declared that - the steel corporation had "acted like 7 the bolshevik!" in refusing to meet representatives of the other party in the dispute. Judge Gary kept his " eyes fixed on the labor leader's face Lut made no reply Outside the conference hall labor delegates declared that the confer . ence would be a flat failure unless It took action on the steel strike. tiev eral Intimated that the labor delega tion might withdraw from the con ference if the arbitration resolution were defeated, although more conser vative representatives did not believe the group as a whole contemplated any such drastic action. That the employer group does not favor Intervention In existing dis - putes, either under the labor or sub- - aitute arbitration proposals, was in . dicated by the remarks in the confer ence of L. F.

The latter expressed the belief that the majority of the delegates were "averse to turning themselves into a general arbitration board." while Mr. ' Loree said that if action were to be taken In the steel strike. It also would be necessary to intervene in the coal ' strike called for November and nu merous other labor disturbances. Given permission to speak on the arbitration resolution. Mr. Gompers described the labor proposal as the "most generous and comprehensive proposition ever submitted in the en tire course of the struggle of labor to emerge from slavery.

While asserting that he did not de . aire to criticise anyone in connection , with the steel strike, but looking straight at Judge Elbert H. Gary, ex- ecutive head of the United States Steel corporation. Mr. Gompers re viewed the efforts of the representa tives of steel unions to obtain con ' ferences with corporation officials and charged the steel company's of ficers with having refused to answer . his letters In June. 11. Referring to the "executive bead of the United States Steel corporation. Mr. Gompers made the charge that ' after the corporation finally con sented to allow the workers to sub mit their demands and grievances In . writing, false issues were deliberately Injected Into the situation by the company's officials. "Are we. In this year of grace. 1)19, . when we have driven political au tocracy off the face of the earth." thundered the leader, "to sabmit servilely to an industrial autocrat? ' The time has gone by when any man can say he is monarch of all he sur veye. Some degree of consideration must be given to labor. Because men are workers Is no reason they are not the equala of the highest officers of any corporation in this land." Steel Chief Cnasovea. Sitting In the public group lrss than IS feet from Mr. Gompers. Judge Gary listened to the labor leader's speech, much of which seemed to be addressed directly to him. without a change of expression, keeping his eyes constantly on the speaker. Reviewing his attempts to have the strike postponed, he said the men refused to tolerate longer the terrible conditions In which they lived. "The organisers of the I. W. W. and the bolshevlki." he continued, "were on the ground and would have taken charge had not our men gone ahead and led the strike in accord with American principles." "1 repeat that we have offered a means of settling this great strike." said Mr. Gompers In conclusion. "That we are confident of the Justice of our cause is demonstrated by the fact that we present this resolu tion in a conference where labor is outvoted four to two. We shall feel now. and in the future, that we have done our full duty." Before 25 Cents Is Paid. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 14. Albert, king of the Belgians, "got away" with a 2a-cent thrift stamp here today without paying for it, according to Richard SiDrelle. an 11-vear-old scnoolboy, who leaped on the king's lutomobile and thrust the stamp Into his majesty's hands and asked him to buy it.

Senator Lodge said, and he predicted that she would use China's vast man power to endanger the safety of both America and Kurope. It is Impossible to see," said Sen ator Lodge, "how any conscientious American can consent to act o treaty that will exte d the power of such a nation as Japan over a coun try like China, especially when the United States deliberately drew China Into the war with at least an im plied promise to give protection at the peace conference. Japanese Promises Decried. "The principal argument made by those who sustained the delivery of control of Shantu-g to Japan Ii that Japan has promised at different times to return it to China. What ever promises she has made were all marked by one vital omission. In no instance do I find "hat Japan ever fixed a time when she would actually return the province to its rightful owners." Japan was charged by Senator Lodge with breaking innumerable pledges regarding her course In China and 'Tea. Her fundamental policy, he said, "had been steady relentless aiming to get ultimate control of the vast population and great territory of China." As it has been in the past, so It will be In the future In regard to Shantung," he cont'nued. "Japan means to exploit China and build herself up until she becomes a power formidable to all the world. She is already advancing In Siberia and with her control there and China developed as she means to develop it she will threaten Europe. Another War Viaiened. "But the country that she would menace most would be our own, and unless we carefully maintain a very superior navy In the Pacific the day will come when the United States will take the place if Fra in an otter great war to pr irve civilisa tion." Tew realixj the significance of the Shantung award. Senator Lodge de clared, picturing as a parallel to Japan's economic rights the situation if Great Britain had similar priv ileges in this country. "The compari son that most naturally springs to one's mind," he said, "is the assump tion that Great Britain, with her con trol of Canada, were to hold under her control the port of New York, ; 11 the wharves, all railway terminals, also the managemer.: of our central customs house, postoffice, cable ter minals, telegraph and telephone ad ministrations, the absolute ownership and control of the Pennsylvania rail way through to Chicago, with the right to extend it at least as far west s Kansas City; the prior right to finance or build and furnish supplies to all railroads; of impor. ..t mines, present and future, in that territory, and any other improve ints that our people i. ight contemplate making in any of that territory north of Washington and east of Chicago. All Nations Concerned. "The senate should carefully note what such a grip of Great Britain would mean, not only to the United States, but to all other nations of the world wishing to do business with the United States."

Goodrich of Indiana, in speaking before the Grain Dealers' National association at a banquet to night, said that it is apparent now that the pendulum has again swung too far in the direction of control, and that the influence of the radicals In this country has been materially widened by the encouragement that has come in numerous ways from the administration at Washington. "Just as we fought the domination of the slave oligarchy in the middle of the 19th century and tbe capitalistic class In the latter part of the 19th century, so must we fight the domi nation of this class in the early part of the 20th century," said Governor Goodrich. "There is no more dangerous force operating among us today than the class-minded man, whether he is laborer, a capitalist or farmer, the one who demands a privilege for his class at the expense of the American people. Right to Unionize Conceded. "Led by unreasoning Dromisora of Utopia, millions of honest Americans are being drawn into a debauch of in dustrial revolution. i ne time nas come when every citizen or this nation should halt in his daily doings, and searching his soul, ask himself the question: 'Am 1 American 7 Upon the answer depends the future of the republic. I concede the right of the workers to organize, bargain collectively and in every legitimate and patriotic way to advance the interest of their class, just as I concede to every worker the right not to belong to an organization if he so elects. But it is clearly ap parent for the time being that the organized workers in many lines of industry in America have fallen un der the control of radicals like Foster and Fitzpatrick,, while Gompers and some others of the conservative type are no longer able to control policies. The influx of these radicals in Ameri ca has been materially widened by the encouragement that has come in numerous ways from the administra tion at Washington, by conspicuously turning loose upon us the intemperate ideas and philosophy of foreign agitators. Direct Actionists Censored. "Foster, Fitzpatrick and their group are openly and frankly direct action ists and if they win their fight tne American Federation of Labor, with 11 its vast power, will pass under their absolute control. 'So it is that within a brief span of years we have swung from in tolerant domination by southern slave owners to the tyranny of capitalists and finally to the despotism of labor. The cloud first appeared ominous In the passage of the Adamson law. have no doubt that the responsibility for this Diece of class legislation at taches directly to the president of the United States. "If labor is big enough and intel ligent enough, as I believe it to be, it can gain its just ends, particularly if it will at all times keep in mind the welfare of the whole country and understand that in the long run we are all going up or down together.

Consider the Quality of the Piano First Then the Price When buying, there are many people who think more of the price of an article than of the qual ity. Really. QUALITY SHOULD BE THE-FIRST CONSIDERATION, espe cially when buying a Piano. A good Piano cannot be made to sell at the very low prices offered by some dealers. Such an instrument will not "stand up" before long the keys stick, the woodwork warps and it sounds tinny. The purchase proves a waste of money.
