President Takes This Stand in Speech to Business Men Today ; By Robert J. Bender, ( Tinted Press Staff Corespondent.) Shadow Lawn, Long Beach, N. J., Sept. 23. Addressing several thousand persons who made a pilgrimngo to his ' summer home, President Wilson this afternoon spoko for tho first time on the campaign issues raised by Repub lican Nominee Charles Evans Hughes. He dwelt chiefly on the business is sues. Prior to speaking, the president had a long conference with Attorney General Gregory. When the president appeared on the porch of his home at 3:15 o'clock he was enthusiastically applauded. On the porch with him wcro Postmaster General Burleson, Attorney General Gregory, former Ambassador to Tur key Henry Mo'genthnu, Jacob Schiff, Judge John N. Wcscott, W. Pnrkhuist Runyon and scores of other prominent democrats. "America," said the president, "has devoted itself to the energies and achievements of peace. Business has taken a leading part in this. 'A vision now has come to business, there never was a time when tho pulse of success beat so strongly in the veins of business us it does today. America has not played a proportionate part in the trade of the world and in time to come chiefly because' America is about to release her energies, American busi-J ness is to enter a Dew and greater field than ever before. "The chief cloud on the horizon in the unsatisfactory relations between capital and labor. There ia only one way in which relations can be mado satisfactory. That is to make a gen ernl partnership of business to make for business success. So long as labor and capital are not together American business is held back. We are too much under the guidance of the lawyer. lie has regarded the relations between1 capital and labor" s merely contrac tual. But there is a lieart beneath the workers' coat. Labor is not a com modity . It is a form of cooperation. If I ran make a man believe in me I can get ten times as much, as if he knew I were antagonistic. ''The laboring man should be a partner of his employer. If tlio heart is not in work, nothing is in it. '! have just passed through a most distressing experience. I tried to ad just differences between railroads and employes. I found suspicion or dis trust on the part of each for the other and while arbitration was being dis cussed between us had this thought: "Arbitration is an alternate of war an implement for use between hostile j forfpg Therefore, jt came upon me that the real problem of capital and labor was to bring both sides to be lieve in each other. "This thing had to be done when it was done,' the president went on in discusning Ins entire course in the con troversy including laying before con gress the legislation he recommended. 'T held for the eight hour dtiv, not becnuse the men demanded it, but be cause the eight hour day is right," the president said. ''These men were dealing-with one another as if there was no one else to be considered besides themselves. The great point iB what rights have the hundred million people of the tinted Stnt Tlie business of government is 1 to see that its organization becomes as strong as itself, as strong as the 1 authority of society. The question now fnoinir the American people is: How- are we going to organize to settle ns a partner tho disputes between capital and labor?

WILL ATTACK JUAREZ Is Now Camped Near Chihua hua: Openly Defying Carranzistas By Carl D. Oroat. (Cnited Tress staff correspondent.) New London, Sept. 23. Currnnza 's apparent failure to direct an effective pursuit of the Villista forces that at- tacked Chihuahua City may radically nf- tect the tentative plans of the Mexican-American pence conference for n border patrol. The commissioners had practically completed their work on a plan for border patrol when the Villistas struck. It called for co-operation by Mexicnn troops with General Pershing's forces in patrolling the border aud was about ready for submission to Washington and Mexico City. The Villaj-aid itself did not alter the plans of the conference since the Vil listas were beaten off with heavy losses, according to Carranzistas reports. But the American commissioners did not be lieve that General Trevino, the Car ranza commander at Chihuahua would immediately start in vigorous pursuit o'f Villa forces and disperse the bandits. There has been no indication that this has been done. Trevino 's failure to take the aggres sive against V" -bandits has again raised the question 'as to whether Car ranza is able to orgnn'me an effective patrol to suppress banditry, despite his promises. The whole matter will be threshed out when General Bliss returns from Wash ington next week. Rushes Troops to Juarez. Juarez, Mex., Sept. 3. (Via Kl Paso.)

Love, a convict, was shot and killed this morning while a gang was being taken to the Russell place on Howell Prairie, where the last of the state's crop of flax is being pulled. As the public generally understands, the prisoners engaged in pulling the state's flax are conveyed each morning from the penitentiary to the flax fields in au auto truck, followed by gunrds iu an automobile. The gnng to which Love belonged left the prison this morning at 0:30 o'clock in charge of Guard Bradford. About five miles out on the Silver tou road, whero the Swartz sawmill once Btood, Pudding river is crossed by a covered bridge. Brush grows well up to the ends of this bridge, and -it waB evidently Love's plan to jump from the truck and get under cover of the brush before the guards emerged from the bridge. At nny rate he made a break as tho truck emerged from the bridge. But he was unable to hide himself before the guards appeared, and two of them fired at him. Both shots took effect, one in tin neck, and the other iu the shoulder. Love was brought back to the prison, and died in Iho hospital a short tlma later. . The guards who fired the shots were Leland T. Murphy and P. O. Heath. Coroner Clough was notified by the prison authorities, and after a review of the situation decided that no inquest was necessary. The body will be held until Monday pending the possible re ceipt of instructions from the dead man 's relatives. Should no relatives ot other interested parties be heard from by that date the body will be cremated according to law. Love was received at the prison May 8, lt 10, from Malheur county, to serve a sentence of from three to 20 years for rape committed on the person of a young girl. He had also been, indicted at Baker for, passing a forged check. He was a native of Tennessee, 24 years old, and by profession a conk. The killing of Love recalls the fact that it was he who planned the break ot about a mouth ago, which plan was discovered before it was put into execu tion. The gang was at that time pull ing flax near Turner, and the plan was to knock the driver of the truck on the head while the long hill at the reform school was being climbed. Then it was thought the heavy truck would run back 1 St. Louis 1 (! rilst 8'e Chicago "rooklyn 1 Vaughn nud Wilson; I Miller. 11. J 3 1 Coombs, Dell I II.

WHEN STR KERS GO OUT WILL STAY Gompers Says Organized Labor Recognizes New York Strike As Vital Tuning Point In History of Americanism ft Will Back Strikers to Last Limit of Its Moral and Financial Power "Capital Is Highly Organized But Would Deny Labor This Right - Washington, Sept. 23. The New York street car strikers and the 800,000 who will go out in sympathy next Wednesday will stay out all winter if that is found neces sary to win their fight for right to organize, according to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federa tion of Labor. Gompers was in Washington today after several days conference in New York. The labor president declared today that organized labor throughout the nation has recognized in the New York situation one of the most vital turning points in the history of unionism. He said organized labor has there fore accepted the challenge and will back the New York workers to the last limits of its moral, physical and financial power. . "The New York street car fight is a fight for union recognition and the right of workers to organize," said Gompers today, . "I am with those men body and soul. Every union man in the United States is with them. We will all stand behind them in their fight for personal freedom in anything they do inside the law. ' "It is the same old principle. Capital is highly organ ized. Labor wants to organize but capital will not let the men do it. This is a great opoprtunity to prove that labor has equal rights with capital and is powerful enough to assert them." , , -. "A City of Dead Industries." New York, Sept. 23. New ., York awaited with apprehension today for the next turn in the labor war which threatens on next Wednesday, when the order for general "suspension of work" becomes effective to make the largest city of the world u city of dead indus tries. Developments of the last 24 hours have injected much bitterness into the labor situation developing from the strike ot surface, subway and elevated car men. The general strike order, as interpret ed by union leaders today is merely no tice to the employers that union men will not ride to work on cars run by non union men and guarded by the po lice; but, they assert, its effect will be a complet tie up of industry in the greater city, through refusal to work of nearly HUI,0()0 union members.. President Shouts of the luterborough, storm center in the labor fight, an nounced today that the policy of the company to deal with individual em ployes and not with unions or union lenders had not been altered. , Shouts Tampers With Jury. "We are fully- prepared for any cm- erirencv," lie sum. "uur policy win not be changed. The only question at issue is whether the individual is to be protected iu his constitutional right to work under conditions satisfactory to himself individually." Many unions will have to vote author ization ot the strike, leaders admitted today as not all the leaders were dele gated power to order a walkout. This balloting will begiu today. Shouts wub under fire today for recommendations which he made in a circular addressed to the district at torney and to individual members of the grand jury, urging that the grand jury, which is understood to have returned five or six secret indictments for viol ence iu the strike, indict labor leaders for conspiracy. District Attorney Wwann announced that Shouts' actiou invali- dated anv uctiou the present grand E.I jury might take and that he would have Jjlto cull another if probe into the strike is continued. i "If B"v law ,iaH ,J('011 v'"la,e,," As' sistant District Attorney Dooling said, "the district attorney will proceed against the offender just as vigorously bh he would auaiust the humblest stone thrower wno nas oneuu ii uur...g iuC strike." Legislature May Meet. While the general walkout is 4 days off and many believe the investigation of the transit strike to be opened Tues day by the state board of conciliation and arbitration will prevent it, New York uns 'facing more serious trans portation difficulties today in threat ened spread of the present strike. Po lice were dispatched to Brooklyn to day when a tip was received that uuion organizers were to start work organiz ing a walkout in the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company lines. Car men of Richmond Borough meanwhile threaten ed a walkout before night if demands they have presented to the company which operates lines there are uot grant ed. The police were rushed to Brooklyn teriniuuls found that such attempt was to be made had been current for sever al days. Police Commissioner Woods today Is sued orders to captains to enroll men in each preciuct who were willing to do ALL WINTER strike duty. This would add 900 men to the police force. A call was Issued' today by Assembly man Vincent Gilroy, to-Ilia sixty three assemblvmen and twehty three senators of New York City to meet Monday nlgnt to formulate a request on the governor for a special session of the state legis lature to end the Btrike. No Election Will Be Held In Germany Berlin, Sept. 23.

The Vossich Zeitung said that the Bunbesrat has voted to prolong the present reichstng for at least a year, on the ground that an election during the war is out of the question. Chancellor Von BethmannHollweg presided at a special meeting of the Prussian ministry nnd party lenders yesterday ond within the next fow dnvs will have conferences - with Foreign Secretary Von Jagow and other government heads.
