He exptarned his tbe position in the controversy an a friend of both parties. A repre sentatite of one hundred million men. women and children who would pay the Incalculable price." He advocated the eight hour day and said : --The eight hour day is judged by the thought and ex perience of recent years as the thing upon which society is jus tified in insisting on in the inter ests of health, efficiency, content ment and the general IniTeuHe of economic vigor. The whole pre sumption of modern experience favors It." He declared the trainmen rep resentatives had aixvpted his plan but the railway reprcsen tati ren had rejected it. RAILROADS CRITICIZED. Reg an ting the railroads Wtm said: -They feel the hostile In fluence of -hipiMMs, who would oppose the increased freight rates caused by readjustment. They apparently feel no confidence In tne interstate commerce commis sion. They don't care to rely on the friendly aswirunces of con smvs or the president. They have thought it MM that they should be forced to yield If they must yield not by counsel, hut by the suffering of ghe country." He severely criticized the railroads saying: "The railway managers rejected my counsel feeling they must, at any cost, stand for the arbitration which the men re jected. To stand firm for arbi tration and yet not get arbitra tion, seemed to me futile, and something- more than futile, it In volves Incalculable distress upon the country and (consequences In some respects worse than war war in the midst of peace."
