D0DGE8-HOUR-LAW
Jerry Howard's Bill Imposing
Rule and Thirty Cents an
Hour Considered.
AFFECTS OMAHA, LINCOLN
From k Staff Oorrtujponrt-nt.)
..incoln, Jn. 21. (Special.) It
i i. 3 the town members against the
i'ou:Ury fellows in the house today
and the "rubes" put it Over on the
,lMf!e" in good shape.
i he trouble all came over the con
. .."ration of H. R. 4. by Jerry How
of Douglas in committee of the
iole. If the hill becomes a law it
u-i ! force Omaha and Lincoln to pay
.10 cents per hour for all municipal
uo-k and eight hours will constitute
it otiy'a work.
Peterson, floor leader for the re
lu 'jean minority sought several time
,lo have incorporated in the hill
amendments to make the law general
in scope to include all cities, villages
and counties and to put public serv
ile corporations which are in com
petition with public owned plants on
the "same basis.
Howard Take Shot.
Howard insinuated thai Peterson
was representing the corporations.
I'eterson sprang to his feet and shak
ing his fist in the direction of Howard
shouted that any man who said that
he was representing; the corporations
in this legislature was uttering a
falsehood.. "I am not representing
any corporation?" he said. "I am
here to represent the people of my
district and the people of the state of
Nebraska and no man has any right
to speak otherwise."
" Others who took part in the dis
cussion were Olsen of Harlan, who
said that the small cities could not
afford to have it apply to them; Ollis
of Valley, who facetiously inquired if
the Peterson amendment would in
clude members of the legislature;
White of Rock, who thought, the
members ought to be fair and not try
to force upon the cities a condition
they did not want themselves and
Trumble of Sherman, who, although
for the bill, thought it should include
everybody. ;
Omaha Not Alone.
Fulta sent an amendment to have
the bill apply only to Omaha, but that
too went down to defeat. -
The bill then went to a vote and
with the Douglas county members
voting for it with the farmer mem
bers, the bill was sent to third, read
ing by vote of 47 to 27, the roll call
oeing as ioiiows.

Peterson Explains,
Mr,' Peterson explained his vote by
saying that inasmuch as the commit

the hill cover oublic service cornor-

Lincoln, thereby putting the city at
a disadvantage, he could not sup-

the railroad strike by forcing the en

they thought that was the way to up

WOMAN CALLED TO GIVE
TESTIMONY OF "LEAK."
Mrs. Ruth Thomason Visconti, the
mysterious Washington woman de
tective who has relatives in Omaha,
has been summoned to appear before
the Jules committee of the house and
testify as to her knowledge of an al

Mrs. Visconti is the woman who

the stock deals in which Joseph Tu

is alleged to have been involved.
Whipple Prepares
For Leak Hearing at
New York Tuesday
New York, Jan. 2. Sherman L.
Whipple, counsel for the house rules
committee in its inquiry to determine
whether anybody profited by a "leak"
when President Wilson's peace note
was sent to the entente allies, was
busy in the financial district today
getting ready for the opening of
hearings here tomorrow. The mem
bers of the committee will not arrive
until tonight or tomorrow morning.
The understanding in financial cir
cles Is .that the inquiry probably will
not be extended to an investigation
of the New York stock exchange.
The present plan is to call officers of
the stock exchange among the first
witnesses and question them about the
exact procedure in the selling and
buying of stocks. This information, it
is understood, will be used by the
committee to guide their examinations
which will be made into all stock sales
on the three days preceding the pub
lication ot the note.. J he purpose in
transferring the hearing to this city
waa to enable the committee to get
the testimony of brokers and stock
exchange officials without delay if oc
casion arose to question them.
It is expected that expert account
ants will be engaged to examine the
books which the committee hopes to
get hold of. This phase ol the in
vestigation will take several days.
TIME FOR D. S. TO
SPEAK ON PEACE,
SAYS PRESIDENT

and justice throughout the world."

said: "No covenant of co-operative
peace that does not include the peo
ples of the new world can suffice to
keep the future safe against war."
Must Have Force Behind It
At that point the president went
on to say: Jf the peace presently
to be made is to endure, it must be
a peace made secure by the organized
major force ot mankind.
Later he said: "The equality of na-.
tlons upon which peace must be
founded, if it is to last, must be an
equality of rights."
In holding out the expectation that
the i United States would join other
nations in a "league for peace" the
president declared it must be clear
"to every man who can think that
there is in this promise no breach in
either our traditions or our policy as
a nation but a fulfillment rather of
all that we have professed or striven
tor."
No other president has addressed
either branch of congress separately

Iii fact, no president addressed con
gress in joint session since that time
until President Wilson revived the
custom in 1UU.
Presidents Washington. Madison
and Adams frequently addressed the
senate and House alternately,, but
when Jefferson was inaugurated he
began the custcm of sending written
messages.
Address of the President.
Washington, Jan. 22. The presi
dent spoke as follows:
"Gentlemen of the senate:
"On December 18 last I addressed
an identic note to the governments
now at war, requesting them to state
more definitely than had yet been
stated by either group of belligerents
the terms upon which they would
deem it possible to make peace. 1
spoke on behalf of humanity and of
the rights of all neutral nations like
our own, many of whose most vital
interests the war puts in constant
jeopardy.
'The central powers united in a
reply which stated merely that they
were ready to meet their antagonists
in conference to disenss terms of
peace.
"The entente powers have replied
much more definitely and have stated
in general terms indeed, but with suf
ficient definiteness to imply details,
the arrangements, guarantees and acts
of reparation which (hey deem to be
the
indispensable conditions of a
satisfactory settlement.
"We are that much nearer a definite
discussion of the peace which shall
end the present war. We are that
much nearer the discussion of the in
ternational concert which must here
after hold the world at peace. In
every discussion of the peace that
must end this' war it ia taken for
granted that that peace most be given
by some definite concert of power
which will make it virtually impossi
ble that any such catastrophe should
THE BEE:
ever overwhelm us again. Every
lover of mankind, every sane and
thoughtful man, must take that for
granted.
"1 have sought this opportunity to
address you because I thought that I
owed it to the gounsel associated
with me in the final determination
of our international obligations, to
disclose to you, without reserve, the
thought and purpose that have been
taking form in my mind in regard to
the duty of our government in these
days to come when it will be neces
sary to lay afresh and upon a new
plan the foundations of I race among
the nations.
"It is inconceivable that the people
of the United States should play no
part in that great enterprise. To
take part in such a service will be
(he opportunity for which they have
sought to prepare themselves by the
very principle and purposes of their
polity and the approved practices of
their government ever since the days
when they set up a new nation in the
high and honorable hope that it might
in all that it was and did, show man
kind the wav to liberty. The cannot,
in honor, withhold the service to
which they are now about to be chal
lenged. They do not wish to with
hold it. But they owe it to them
selves and to the other nations of
the world' to state the conditions
under which they will feel free to
render it.
Attitude Should Be Known,
' "That service is nothing less than
this: To add their authority and
their power to the authority and
force of other nations to guarantee
peace and justice throughout the
world. Such u settlement cannot now
be long postponed.. It is right that
before it comes this government
should frankly formulate the condi
tions upon which it would feel justi
fied in asking our people to approve
its formal and solemn adherence to
a league for peace. 1 am here to
attempt to state those conditions."
"The present war must first be
ended: but we owe it to candor and
to a just regard for the opinion of
mankind to say that so far as our
participation in guarantees of future
peace is concerned, it makes a great
deal of difference in what way and
upon what terms it is ended. The
treaties and agreements which bring
it to an -nd must embody terms
which will create a peace that is
worth guaranteeing and preserving, a
peace that, will win the approval of
mankind; not merely a peace that will
serve the several interests and im
mediate aims of the nations engaged.
We shall have no voice in determin
ing what those terms shall be, but
we shall, I feel sure, have a voice in
determining whether they shall be
made lasting or not by the guaran
tees of a universal covenant, and our
judgment upon what is fundamental
and essential as a condition precedent
to permanency should be spoken now,
not afterwards, when it may be too
late.
Peace Worth Guaranteeing.
"No covenant of co-operative peac;
that does not include the peoples of
the new world can suffice to keep the
future safe against war, and yet there
is only one sort of peace that the
peoples of America could join in
guaranteeing.
"The elements of that peace must
be elements that engage the con
fidence and satisfy the peace of the
American government, elements con
sistent with their political faith and
the practical convictions which the
peoples of America have once for all
embraced and undertaken , to de
fend." .
"I do not mean to say that any
American government would throw
any obstacle in the way of any terms
of peace the governments now at war
might agree upon or seek to upset
them when made, whatever they
might be. I only take it for granted
that mere terms of peace between the
belligerents will not satisfy even the
belligerents themselves. Mere agree
ments may not make peace sure. It
will be absolutely necessary that a
force be created as a guarantor of
the permanency of the settlement so
much greater than the force of any
nation now engaged or any alliance
hitherto formed or projected, that no
nation, no probable combination of
nations could tace or withstand it
If the peace presently to be made
is to endure it must be a peace made
secure by the organized major torce
of mankind. The terms of the im
mediate peace agreed upon will de
termine whether there is a peace
where such guarantee can be se
cured. Real Question at Issue.
"The question upon which the
whole future peace and policy of the
world depends is this:
"Is the present war a struggle for
a just and secure peace, or only for
a new balance of power? If it be
only a struggle for a new balance of
power, who will guarantee, who can
guarantee, the .stable equilibrium of
tne new arrangement; Only a tran
quil Europe can be a stable Europe.
There must be, not a balance of pow
er, but a community of power; not
organized rivalries, but an organized
common peace. '
"Fortunately, we have received
very explicit assurances on this point.
The statesmen of both of th. groups
of nations now arrayed against one
another have said, in terms that could
not be misinterpreted, that it was no
part of the purpose they had in mind
iu mud incir antagonists, nui tne
implications of these assurances may
not be equally clear to all may not
be the same on bot'i aides of he
water. I think it will be serviceable
if I attempt to set forth what we un
derstand them to be. s
Imply Peace Without Victory.
"They imply first of all that it
must be a peace without victory. It
is not pleasant to say this. I beg
that I may be permitted to put my
own interpretatio upon it and that
it may be understood that no other
interpretation was in my thought. I
am seeking only to face realities and
to face them without soft conceal
ments. Victory would mean peace
forced upon the loser, a victor's
terms imposed upon the vanquished.
It would be adopted in humiliation,
under duress at an intolerable sacri
fice and would leavt a sting in resent
r ent, a bitter memory upon which
terms of peace would rest not per
manently, but only as upon quick
sand. Only a peace between equals
can last. Only a peace the very prin
ciple of which is equality acd a com
mon participation in a common bene
fit The right state of mind, the
right feeling between nations, is as
necessary for a lasting peace as is the
just settlement of vexed questions of
territory or of racial and national
allegiance.
"The equality of nations upon
which peace must be founded, if it

is to last, must be an equality of
rights; the guarantees exchanged
must neither recognize nor imply a
difference between big nations and
small, between those that are power
ful and those that are weak. Right
must be based upon the common
strength, not upon the individual
strength, of the nations upon whoie
concert peace will depend. Equality
of territory or of resources, of course
cannot be; nor any other sort of
equality not gained in the o.dinary
peaceful and legitimate development
of the peoples themselves. But no
one asks or expects anything m .re
than an equality of rights. Mankind
is looking now for freedom of life,
not for equipoises of power.
Sovereignty Should Be Free.
"And there is a deeper thing in
volved than even equality of right
among organized nations. No peace
can 'ast, or ought to last, which does
not recognize and accept the principle
that governments derive all their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned, an 1 that no right anywhere
exists to hand peoples about from
sovereignty to sovereignty as if they
were property. I take it for granted,
for instance, if I may venture upon a
single example, that statesmen every
where are agreed that there should
be a united, independent and autono
mous Poland and that henceforth an
inviolable security of life, of worship
and ot industrial and social develop
ment should be g aranteed to all
peoples who have lived hitherto un
der the power of governments de
voted to a taitn ana purpos. nostue
to their own.
"I speak of this, not because of any
desire to exalt an abstract political
principle which has always been held
very dear by those who have sought
to build up liberty in America, but
for the same reason that I have
spoken of the other conditions of
peace which seem to me clearly in
dispensable because I wish frankly to
uncover realities.
No Peace Without Stability.
"Any peace which does not rec
ognize and accept this principle wilt
inevitably be upset. It will not rest
upon the affections or the convictions
of mankind. The spirit of whole pop
ulations will fight subtly and con
stantly against it and all the world
will sympathize. The world can be
at peace only if its life is stable and
there can be no stability where the
will is in rebellion, where there is not
tranquility of spirit and a sense of
justice and freedom and .right.
"So far as practicable, moreover,
every great people now struggling to
wards a full development of its re
sources and of its powers should be
assured a direct outlet to the great
highways of the seas.' Where this
cannot be done by the cession of
territory it can no doubt be done by
the neutralization of direct rights of
way under the general guarantee
which will assure the peace itself.
With a right comity of arrangements
no nation need be shut away from
free access to the open paths of the
world's commerce.
Seas Must Be Free.
"And the paths of the sea must
alike in law and in fact be free. The
freedom of the seas is the sine qua
non of peace, equality and co-opera
tion. No doubt a somewhat radical
reconsideration of many of the rules
of international practice hitherto
sought to be established may be nec
essary in order to make the seas in
deed free and common in practically
all circumstances for the use of man
kind, but the motive for such changes
is convincii.g and compelling. There
can be no trust or intimacy between
the peoples of the world without
them. The free, constant, unthreat-
ened intercourse of nations is an es
sential part of the process of peace

and esY development It need not be
difficult to desine or to secure the free
dom o.' the seas if the governments of
the wo.r.'d sincerely desire to come to
an agreement concerning it.
Limitation of Armaments.
"It is a problem closely connected
with the limitation of naval arma
ments ami the co-operation of the na
vies of th t world in keeping the seas
at once fr te and safe. And the ques
tion of limiting naval armaments
opens the ividcr and perhaps more
difficult question of the limitation of
armies and . 1 all programs of military
preparation.
"Difficult a.frd delicate as these ques
tions are they must be faced with the
utmost cando.r and decided in a spirit
of real accommodation if peace is to
come with he.il'ng in its wings and
comfc to stay. Peace cannot be had
wuhout concession and sacrifice.
There can be no sense of safety and
equality among lhe nations if great
preponderating armaments are hence
forth to continue here and there to
be built up and maintained. The
statesmen of the world must plan for
peace and nations must adjust and
accommodate their policy to it as they
have planned for war and made readv
for pitiless contest and rivalry. The
question of artnam.&its, whether on
land or sea, is the most immediately
and intensely practical question con
nected with the future fortunes of na
tions and of mankind..
Speaks for Humanity.
"I have spoken upon these great
matters without reservit and with the
utmost explicitness because it has
seemed to me to be necessary if the
world's yearning desire for peace was
anywhere to find free voice and utter
ance. Perhaps I am the only person
in high authority amongst nil the peo
ples of the world, who is at liberty
to speak and hold nothing back. I
am speaking as an individual and yet
I am speaking also, of courie, as the
responsible head of a great govern
ment, and I feel confident that I have
said what the people of the United
States would wish me to say.. May I
not add that I hope and believe that
I am in effect speaking for liberals
and friends of humanity in evetry na
tion and of every program of lit'erty?
I would fain believe that I. am speak
ing for the silent mass of mankind
everywhere who have as yet hd no
place or opportunity to speak their
real hearts out concerning the death
and ruin they see to have comes al
ready upon the persons and the
homes they hold most dear.
"And in holding out the expectation
that the people and government of
the United State will join the other
civilized nations of the world in guar
anteeing the permanence of peace
upon such,terms as I have named, 1
speak with the greater boldness and
confidence, because it is clear to every
man who can think that there is in
this promise no breach in either our
traditions or our policy as a nation,
but a fulfillment, rather, of all that we
have professed or striven for.
World-Wide Monroe Doctrine.
"I am proposing, as it were, that the
nations should with one accord adopt
the doctrine of President Monroe as
the doctrine of the world: That no
nation should seek to extend its policy
over any other nation or people, but
that every people should be left free
to determine its own policy, its own
way of development, unhindered, un
threatened, unafraid, the little along
with the great and powerful.
"I am proposing- that all nations
henceforth avoid entangling alliances
which would draw them into compe
titions of power, catch them in a net
of intrigue and selfish rivalry and dis
turb their own affairs with influences
intruded from without. There is no
entangling alliance in a concert of
power. When all unite to act in the
same sense and with the same pur
pose, all act in the common interest
and are free. to live their own lives
under a common protection. .
"I am proposing government by
the consent of the governed, that free
dom of the seas, which in interna
tional conference after conference rep
resentatives of the United States have
urged with the eloquence of those
who are the convinced disciples of
liberty; and that moderation of arma
ments which makes of armies and
navies a power for order merely, not
an instrument of aggression or of
selfish violence.
"These are American principles,
American policies. We can stand for
no others. And they are also the
principles and policies of forward
looking men and women everywhere,
of every modern nation, of every en
lightened community. They are the
principles of mankind and must prevail."
