OCTOBER 13, 1911
haa over confronted capital. A
movement among the masses, more
revolutionary than anything seen in
the closing years of the eighteenth
century, is manifesting itself now
and will come to a crisis within five
years.
Either employers must support
trade unions under conservative
leadership, or face an industrial
form of organization under the
leadership of radical socialists.
Strikes will no longer he confined
to single crafts, hut will be general
affecting an entire industry.
Such were the predictions made
by Professors Graham Taylor at a
luncheon at the City club recently in
speaking on "The British Railway
Strike and Its Revolutionary Bear
ings." Dr. Taylor returned a few days ago
from an extended tour through
Great Britain and the continent of
Europe, during which he made a
special study of social conditions and
the recent uprisings of the workers
in Great Britain, France and Spain.
According to Dr. Taylor, the econo
mic pressure on the masses is not so
acute here as in Europe, because
wages have more nearly kept pace
with the increased cost of living and
with the universal demand of labor
for a larger share of the wealth it
creates, but the pressure here, and
the tendency of labor to unite on in
dustrial instead of on craft lines is
seen in the present strike of rail
road shop employes. The franchise
enjoyed by the workers in this coun
try also forms a safety valve, in the
opinion of Dr. Taylor, which the
European workers do not possess in
such full degree.
"The peaceful situation on the
British railroads is nothing but an
aTmed truce," said Dr. Taylor. "It
is liable to burst forth at any time.
The recent strike opened the eyes of
the workers themselves, as well as
the eyes of the statesmen. No one
expected that the workers at a mo
ment's notice could paralyze the na
tion, but that is what they did.
' "Within twenty-tour hours the
whole kingdom virtually was on its
knees before the strikers. In a few
days England actually would have
begun to starve and the extremists
were incensed that the strike was
settled so soon."
warships lie a short distance from

bodies of Turks have been found
among the ruins of the forts, and
apparently no great numbor of Turks
were killed by the bombardment.
mittee of both parties and who an
nounced their intontion of partici
pating actively in tho coming campaign.
A Salt Lake City dispatch, carried
by tho Associated Press, says: Presi
dent Taft today politely but firmly
reproved the president of the young
men's republican league of Utah,
Fred W. Bryce, when tho latter, in
introducing him to an immense
crowd at the state fair, made a bit
terly partisan speech. It was as the
prospective republican candidate for
the nresldencv in 1912 that Mr.
Bryce presented Mr. Taft, and aftor
predicting that he would bo "trium
phantly elected," and that Novem
ber next year would find "tho de
mocracy of "Utah in its customary
place, deep down in the slough of
despond," he introduced tno cniei
executive of the nation as "William
Howard Taft of Ohio."
"I am here," said the president',
emphasizing each word significantly,
"as president of the United States."
There was a lusty cheer from tho
crowd, which was followed by a
laugh when Mr. Taft humorously
cleared the incident by saying:
"My friend, tho president of the
young men's republican league, is
probably a better republican than
he is a prophet."
The president then launched Into
a discussion of his tariff vetoes, re
peating the arguments and explana
tions he has made at other points on
tho trip.
A dispatch from Philadelphia says:

political topics, died suddenly in his

of censure on the cabinet he ex
pressed his feeling that it was a hor

hcoerce the house of lords in order
to put through the veto bill curtail

it did not occur to him that the
