WILSON DEFENDS
THE ADAMSON LAW
President, in Opening Porch
Campaign, Says Eight-Hour
Principle Not Arbitrable., :
new spmrr in business
Long- Beach, N. J., Sept. 23. Pres
ident Wilson opened his "porch cam
paign" here today with a speech to a
delegation of New Jersey business
ljien gathered at Shadow Lawn. Out
side of his speech of acreptance, it
was the first address he had delivered
since his nomination.
' President Wilson declared in his
speech that the chief cloud upon the
American horizon is the relations be
tween capital and labor. oS long as
capital and labor are antagonistic, he
said, there well be danger.
In addition to the business men,
several hundred residents of . New
Jersey Coast towns were present, and
all the chairs on the lawn were oc
cupied when the president began
speaking.
, "I do not regard the principle of
the eight-hour day as arbitrable,"
siad the president. "I made that
plain at the beginning of the railroad
conferences."
The president declared that Amer
ica had devoted itself "time out of
mind" to peaceful pursuits, and that
business is the expression of this ob
ject A new spirit has come over
American business recently, he said.
' "There never was a -time when the
pulse of energy and success beat so
high in the blood of America," he
said. "But improvements are to
come, America is about to release
its energy. The problems that are
before American business are world
problems. Some look backward."
President Wilson replied to the at
tacks of Charles E. Hughes, the re
publican nominee, on the administra
tion's action in respect to the eight
hour law for railroads.
"When I was discussing the rail
way situation," he said, ''I realized
that the most important thing was
to bring employes and employers to
understand each other better.
"It would be ' intolerable for the
commerce of the country to be held
up," said Mr. Wilson. "The danger
in the situation was that the people
of the nation were not represented."
The president pointed to support
given by republicans in congress to
hit plan. He said: "This had to be
done at the time it was done."
The president declared that "tabor
is not a commodity, but a form of
co-operation. He urged the necessity
of a better understanding between
capital and labor. 1 - f-
Mr. Wilson said he believed in n
eight-hour day because under it men
do better work. He cited court de
cisions to show that an investigation
was the. only way to tell whether the
railroads could afford an eight-hour
day. . .'t
He went Into the details of his
negotiations with1 -the mtt and Ithe
railways, i He declared that from the
beginning he did: not ask either side
whether the solution he suggested
was acceptable to them..
X way ipmt be found. President
Wilson said, for preventing a repeti
tion of situation like the threatened
railroad strike.
"I invite all citizens to suggest a
plan," he added.
"America is never going to say to
an individual 'you must work,' but it
is going to tell organizations of men
that they shall not interrupt the life
of the nation. The entire program
for thej solution of the railroad prob
- lem proposed by me to congress is
going to be passed."

That means there is over $300,000,000

"In the retrospect, we observe the

splendid cities with institutions of

world cross our borders at every

so that the former wilderness and
solitary places are made glad and
the desert blossoms as the rose.
"These things, with a multitude of
others, call upon us to observe the
fiftieth anniversary of the birth of

city, invites all the people to aid in
her endeavor to make the event glo
