Attacks oa Democratic Tariff. 1
Twelve thousand persons pa4kod
Khrin auditorium to the doors and
thronged in the streets outside unable
to gain admittance when Hughes
spoke at Los Angeles last night.
Democratic tariff Ideas were attacked
vigorously by him and he asserted
that only the European war prevented
then from wrecking many Industries.
"I believe that regulation and su
pervision by the government," he said
at one point, "l a mockery unless it
Is Just and aquare with the facta. I
put that flag up In New York and I
never pulled It down and never pro
Pose to. It Is a question of studying
the facts, of analyzing the actual con
ditions and coming to conclusions that
are fair.
War Saved the Situation.
"We have passed the day when we
had to restrict what was legitimate
in order to crush out what was Illegit
imate and unfair. We can protect
ourselves against every kind of mono
polistic practice without meddling.
"The Democratic tariff would have
rulnod us if It had not been for the
European war. If we are going to
have, when this war ceases, a cun
dltlon which will permit the extension
Of American Industries and keep our
factories going, give room lor our sur-
, plus and extend our trade, we have
Jot to make reasonable and wise tariff

throughout this country, where there
Is a legitimate Interest needing pro
tection, it shall have it and not be
denied."
Does Little Walking.
Hughes has averaged close to 75 or
100 miles a day in automobile trips
.since he left New York. He has prob
,, ablynot walked more than twp miles
; in the whole 23 days of his Journeying.
Everywhere ha goes. If It is only a few
hundred feet, the candidate rides In an
automobile.
Notwithstanding this almost utter
lack of exercise, Governor Hughes Is
in perfect physical condition, accord

forward, however, to a lot of mountaln

UNITED STATES MUST
GET READY TO MEET
CONDITIONS AFTER WAR
Los Angeles, Aug. 22. Judge
Charles E. Hughes spoke before a
large audience at the Shriners' audi
torium last night. Stoddard Jess,
hanker, introduced the speaker, after
he had been presented by Rujss Avery,
a former Progressive. The candidate
addressed an overflow crowd befonp
the auditorium. Judge Hughes said in
part:
"This is not an ordinary campaign.
We are to determine In a crucial pe
riod whether we shall halt or advance;
whether we shall have fostering, en
nobling-, encouraging policies, or
whether we shall enter, wavering
half-hearted and uncertainly upon the
experience which we are sure to meet
when the European war la over.
"I shrink from the contemplation of
the horrors of that war. I am devoted
to the ideals of peace, and I look with
the deepest sense Of dismay at the
conflict abroad, that a continent
should be plunged Into war. But at
worst we know that the nations at
GATHERED AT THE CALL OF
war have not gone mad; that they are
prosecuting their policies, and that
each nation thinks It has had to take
the position it has taken."
The speaker said the United States
must prepare for conditions that will
succeed the war. He continued:
"Let us lay the foundations broad
and deep. This is not the question of
a day. This is not tne question oi
few years. We musi piaa tor a iu
period ahead.
"Our national conditions, or, rather,
our conditions of national greatness,
must be looked at in connection with
th betterment of human life, for
without that, under free government,
with discontent and the failure to
maintain proper standards for human
living, there Is no possibility of per
manent national greatness. We shall
succeed as a great fellowship or we
shall not succeed at all.
"The vision that some may have of
little citadels acquired for Individual
success for which the rest of the com
munity may be held up and be com
pelled to pay tribute, is a vision of
America, of a man without vision, and
for whom there is no hope in Amer
ica. The path of American success is
the path of cooperation, of conscious
cooperation.
"I should protect human life, human
safety, human comfort, and I regard
human rights as paramount to every
thing else, because this is a country
of human beings, dedicated to the
Ideal of human betterment and hu
man prosperity.
"I should protect women, I should
protect children. If we take a look
ahead, we cannot afford to trifle with
the future of the race. Anyone who
would exploit women or children in
industry by unreasonable hours, in the
last analysts Is the enemy of the pro
ductive capacity of this country. The
country cannot stand that sort of
thing.
"We are seriously threatened by the
tariff bill passed by our opponents. I
read the other night something that
was said by an eminent member of
PRESIDENT WILSON TO CONFER ON STRIKE SITUATION
the great opposing party, and he put
at the head of the list of so-called
achievements the Democratip tariff.
Why, the Democratic tariff would have
ruined ue If it had not been for the
European war.'
EIGHT-HOUR DAY
QUESTION GOES
BEFORE BOARDS
(Continued From Pe One.)
politan club last night a small number
of the "big barons" of the railroad
world, representing 100,000 miles of
track and $2,000,000,000 of capital, de
termined on a course of action, ft if
Kot Inclined'to Yield.
The roads will not yield, it was de
clared today, unless they can trade
with the president and gain some off
setting advantages, some "adequate
compensation" for accepting what they
regard as "a revolutionary change" in
the eight-hour day. But the very fact
that many of the small road chiefs, as
well as a number of the foremost rail
road executives have reached the stage
where they are willing to talk "trades"
Indicates the president has stirred up
what he termed "the immobile opinion"
of the railroad powers.
"It Is now known that the Baltlmoro
& Ohio and the Southern railway
executives are ready to make conces
sions and President Hale Holden of
the Burlington, in whose hands Louis
W. Hill has placed power for negotiat
ing for the Hill lines, is opposed to
unequivocally rejecting the presi
dent's proposal.
Early this morning the New York
Central and the Pennsylvania were
holding out strong against yielding
the point of arbitration. A majority
of the great systems appeared to be
with them.
Merchants Bend Telegrams.
Throughout the night telegrams
kept pouring into the headquarters of
1
the executives and managers appeals
from merchants and manufacturing
organizations In all the big cities of
the country urging the chiefs to
stand pat for arbitration.
Out of today's 1 situation belief
grows that the roads will yield in the
end.
It developed today that the Inside
committee of the big railroad heads
who met most of last night, were get
ting in direct touch as fast as pos
sible today with their "Important di
rectors. They expected to be able to
report tonight or early tomorrow
morning to the president on their con
clusions regarding this plan.
President Wilson held himself in
readiness to meet them as soon as they
were ready, and it was said he had in
dicated he has no plan to present
other than that on which he has stead
ily insisted.
Committee Zs Appointed.
President Holden announced the I
committee of so-called "big barons"
included himself, W. W. Atterbury,
Pennsylvania; Fairfax Harrison, South
ern railway; R. S. Lovett, Union Pa
cific; E. P. Ripley, Santa Fe; A. H.
Smith, New -. York Central; Frank
Trumbull, C. and O.; and Uaniel Wil
lard, B. and O. He Issued the follow
ing statement:
"The committee Is in continuous
session, considering the situation, ut
no concluson has yet been reached.
"There will be no strike," said one
railroader today. Officially, he said
the executives would "stick to the last
ditch" If public opinion "continues
favorable to the railroads."
Privately, however, his admission
was that "They'll talk "last ditch'
business, but it is a practical cer
tainty that no strike Is coming."
The Informant frankly said if there
Is any veering In public sentiment as
the railroads interpret it or if Pres
ident Wilson feels the public is with
him, the executves must and will
yield.
Would Avoid Future Trouble.
There is no doubt, however, that the
roads will stand out to the end for
some concessions. They want the
president to define strongly and prac
tically some means for avoldinig fu
ture trouble. To this end there have
been many suggestions, one of the
foremost of which provides for the
creation of an investigation commis
sion similar to that under the Cana
dian disputes act.
In the discussion of "adequate com
pensation" for yielding the eight-hour
day the railroad executives are ex
pected to urge the president to recom
mend some congressional action to
unify control of railroad operation.
They want the roads placed entirely
under federal regulation, eliminating
state control.
The executives are now said to Te
convinced that they can ret rat in.
creases from the Interstate Commerce
commission and with this one of their
prinlclpal objections has been re
moved. Hill Agrees With "Everybody."
Talk of violent opposition to any
general acquiescence to President
Wilson's proposal was quieted by
Louis W. Hill of the Hill lines, who
denied he had insurged against the
others.
"I'm In agreement with everybody,"
he said today.
Incidentally he and other pro
fessed not to be particularly moved
by President Wilson's plea for peace
in view of the need for moving crops
and general supplies both for this
country and foreign nations.
"The crop In our country l verv

-They're not even cutting it, much
less moving it A strike wouldn't af
