BOLSHEVISM IS
SOUNDLY SCORED
BY G. E. HUGHES
Former Presidential Candi
date Urges Measures to
Forestall Class Rule
Pittsburgh, Jan. 1. The bolshe
vik, the denatured citizen and th
"apostle of minority distatorship" all
came in for a round scoring at the
nauas 01 inarirs p.. Hughes in an
aaaress at the third worlds Chris
tian citizenship conference here
Class rule, gripping some elements
of American labor and threatening
to overthrow economic, social, re-
"eiui ijuimtai ana industrial insti
tutions of the United States. Mr.
Hughes said, is destined to fall in
ruins by reason of the inherent de
lects in its own structure.
"Even though the triumph of such
a movement will insure its final fail
lire, the speaker continued, "for our
own sake and for the sake of our
children we do not propose to en
dure it even for a quarter of an
hour."
Presents an Antidote.
Mr. Hughes presented an antidote
for the inculcation of the disease
that has overcome Russia. He urged
these measures:
Sane, intelligent management.
Adequate provision for fair and
peaceful settlement of industrial dis
putes through agencies fairly repre
senting all concerned in such contro
versies.
Education. .
Deportation of the aliens respon
sible for radicalism.
Strict obedience to law and order.
' Religion.
Adequate rewards for labor and
immediate concentration of federal
efforts toward such ends.
'Self-preservation is the first law
of democracy," Mr. Hughes stated.
"The processes of reason and justice
are of no avail unless we maintain
the conditions which make possible
a resort to these processes. .It is of
no use to discuss liberty with those
who plot to destroy the essential in
stitutions of liberty.
Stamp Out Reds.
"With respect to those who incite
to disorder and violence, who plot
revolution, who COHiisel the destruc
tion of government, who seek to at
tain their end by resort to force or
by the intimidation of those entrust
ed with the enforcement of the law,
there is but one course. Their ac
tivities must be stamped out reso
lutely and swiftly."
"There should be no room in this
country for alien emissaries seeking
cither to establish bolshevism or to
engulf us in anarchy. Broadly tol
erant as we should be, we cannot
tolerate those who conspire to over
throw the republic."
Mr. Hughes thought that a strike
of railroad men is impossible. The
paralysis of our system of transpor
tation would mean starvation and
death to multitudes, he said. The
discontinuance or crippling of this
service even for a short time would
be disastrous. ,
. "The community is therefore en
titled to insist upon uninterrupted
service. The interest of all is su
perior to the interest of any group,
and the interest of all absolutely re
ouires hat the grievances of those
who work on railroads should be ad
justed without destroying or maim
ing this essential facility."
Big Increase Is Shown in
License Money Collected
W. H. Hunter, city clerk, reports
that the total receipts of his office
last year .amounted to $97,500, as
compared with $21,503.10 for 1918.
One large item of increase was
yielded by the new wheel tax which
was started in 1919, when $35,563
was collected, and another new item
was tobacco tax, 'bringing in $25,000.
The dog license, tax showed an in
crease of $2,500.
The miscellaneous license collec
tions, in charge of Samuel Fried,
city license inspector, were increased
from $16,276.40 in 1918 to $25,556.80
in 1919.
"All of this additional work was
done in our office without any in
crease in the office staff," Mr. Hunt
er stated. s
"Y" Open House Meet Is
Declared "Success" by
Committee in Charge
A junior athletic meet, swimming,
wrestling exhibition! and a num
ber of other events, as well -as' a
musical program marked the an
nual open-house program at the
Young Men's Christian association
yesterday and last night.
This year's program was the best
in the history of the organization,
and was attended by a large crowd.
In the morning the junior athletic
meet was held and was a ereat suc
cess from every standpoint. How
ever, the results of the meet will
not be obtainable until late todav.
since the committee in charge were
unable to get them tabulated.
The junior meet consisted of the
following events: Running high
jump, 75-yard dash, sprini? board
high jump, pole vault and standing
nroad jump. i ne. evening program,
which also met with great success,
included gymnastic exhibitions by
the boys' division, exhibition of
parallel and horizontal bars by
senior leaders, juti iitsu bv iunior
leaders, squad work by senior lead
ers and a wrestling exhibition by
Dave and George Nordstrom was
put on, and swimming exhibitions.
consisting of fancy diving, life sav
ing in pool, and various stunts.
One of the features of the eveninar
program was the boys' relay race on
Igo "Kitty" cars.
The program closed shortlv he-
fore midnight with selections by the

Estates probated in the Douglas

County Judge Crawford. There

in 1919 numbered 82, and in 1918
there were 80.
Washington, Jan. 1. Consump
tion of newsprint paper in the
United States during the last three
months reached a record-breaking
point, along with prices, the federa
trade commission reports. The av
erage cost of newsprint at mills at
the beginning of December was $3.90
a hundred, the commission renorted
as against $3.75 a year ago. In i915
the price was $1.88, the lowest in
several years.
High prices failed to cut down
consumption, however, and the com
mission estimated that in 1919, 14
per cent mere newsprint was used
than in 1918. During the fourth
quarter of 1919, particularly, news
print consumption was running up
and the commission said that the
increase then over the similar period
n iyj.8 would be between Z5 and oO
per cent. December figures have,
not yet been tabulated.

"I know it," said Judge Gary, "be

It follows, then, that the strike.

Agitate for Return of
Death Penalty In Oregon
Salem, Ore., Jan. 1 Agitation
for, the return of the death penalty
is gaining in volume in this state
and legislators who meet here have
presented resolutions for its consid

throughout the state in favor of cap

wave of crime that is sweeping the
northwest. The murder of two
prominent citizens of Oregon re
cently, one of whom it is believed
was to be a candidate for governor
next election, and the inroads of the

the spark to the movement.

"While I have a good deal of au

Judge Gary the Mainspring,
No one who touches the steel in-

But to a remarkable degree thes

men they are. echoed Tudee Garv'
views. They would give facts, but
wouia express no opinions whatever
of their own. It is a wonderfully
lusLipimcu organization that Judge
Gary has created. It speaks as one
man.
As to the attitude of the cornor
ation toward labor and I am trying
" iu cAiiiuu ine inaustry lainy
as it looks from above one of the
foremen at. Gary seemed to me to
strike a kind of keynote:
. 'Judge Gary," he said, "knows far
better what is good for these work
ingmen, mostly ignorant foreigners
man mey know themselves.
Let me develoD this a little fur
ther from Judge Gary's own testi
mony Detore the senate committee
As I said, he knows his power.
I recognize," he testified, "that
the power of concentrated capital
necessarily involves the power to
do more or less harm. I recognize
the fact personally that concentra
te capital nas the advantage over
a single individual, if the concentra
ted capital is in the hands of dis
honest ar.d unfair men.
Ihis point of view lcad3 directly
to the very heart of Judge Giry's
attitude toward labor. Recognizing
ine power ot concentrated capital
for good or evil, he desir;s to do
good, as he sees the fforvrl Absn,
lute power is to remain in the hands
of the employer but the employer
must use it wisely and generously.
All his utterances and like any man
who believes honestly and earnestly
in wnai ne says, ne has been a free
talker all his utterances, and his
testimony before the sena'e commit
tee, resound with this rlrtrini.
"The only way of combattine and
overcoming that" the "wave of un
rest m certain locations hf said to
the presidents of the subsidiary
companies of the United States
steej corporation on January 21,
1919. "is for the employers, the
capitalists, those having the highest
cuucauon, tne greatest power and
influence, to so manage their own
affairs that there will be left no just
siuuiiu ior criticism.
His Policy Stated.
A little later in the sarrc tf!4rcc
he discloses vividly his whole policy
iuwhu me woricers. 'ihis should be
read carefully;
"Make the Steel corporation a
good place for them (the workers)
to work and live. Don't let th? fami
lies go hungry or cold; give them
playgrounds and parks and schools
and churches, pure water to drink,
every opportunity to keen clean,
places of enjoyment, rest and recre
ation; treating the whole thing as
a business proposition; drawing the
line so that you are just and gener
ous and yet at the same time keep
ing your position and nirmittm
others to keep theirs, retaining the
control and management of your af
.airs; keeping the whole thing in
your own hands, but nevertheless,
with due consideration tn fh i.Vhto
and interests of all others, who may
tu' y your management."
this IS the verv hnnv ctr -.-, f
his philosophy; and Judge Gary, is
one or the rare men who has tried to
practice all he prtaches. The Steel
corporation has spent millions of
dollars in various forms of welfare
work forms so interesting and so
significant in many ways the pre
vention of accidents, the pension
system and the encouragement of
stock ownership for the workers

Sltion." He told the stnH.n.
Trinity college last June, "It pays
big, in dollars and cents, for the
employer to maintain working con
ditions which are beneficial to the
health and disposition of the employe.
He has also adherer! witti vtr.
ordinary singleness of purpose to
the principle he lays down for his
subsidiary presidents of "keeping
the whole thinp in their own hands."
This principle forms, indeed th
oasis of his attitude toward union

terms with representatives of organ-

once it is admitted that unionized

ing their conditions, the whole fahrir

judge uary is not a weak man. and
not muddle-headed: he saw the is.
sue from the very beginning, and
has never swerve! in his course. He
has the immense advantage, as a
eader, of a perfectly clear and
logical position, ar.d one concernintr
which he i3 absolutely sure of him-
seit. He believes it as one believes
religious doirma. He hplievca that
f you let unionism begin anywhere,
t will mean more and more power
to the workers and finallv the
closed shop." It is nothihor tr him
hat the strike leaders and Mr.
Gompers declare that the strike is
not for a "closed shon" he will nnt
have evan the camel's head in the
tent. To him such a change in the
tried system which he knows, such
a division of control even in one
department of the industry, not only
threatens the cower of the ranitalUt-
employer, but makes for confusion
nd lowered production. He rite
the English situation as an example
of this and bids us beware of it.
His View of Unionism.
The carollary of his rincinles. of
course, is exactly what his fore man
at Gary told me, that he knows bet-
ter what is good for the workman ;
than the workman himol! Lnntu. 1
He tells the senate committee that
unionism "is not a good thing for
cither the employer or the employe."
"We know what the rights of out
employes are," he said in an ad
dress, "and we feel obligated and
take pleasure in knowine that we
are at all times doing all we can
ior the people in our employ.
"How did VOU know." sskeH Scna-
tofo Walsh in the enate inauiry.
repeatedly tells the senate commit
tee. Similarly, when the subject of the
12-hour day, the seven-day week, the
"long turn" and the like, comes up
for discussion before the senate
committee he is forced by the logic
of his own position for he has said
that he knows at all times the frame
of mind of his employes to declare
that his workmen really want the
long day and Sunday work al
though practically every workman
who testified before the senate com
mittee, and there were many of
them, complained of the long hours
and the Sunday work.
"The question of hours," Judge
Gary tells the committee, "has been
largely a question of wishes, of de
sire, on the part of the employes
themselves," They want them be
cause they "want more compensa
tion." So much for the industry, as it
looks in its broader aspects from
above to the only spokesman among
the employers. Taking up, specifical
ly, the 12-hour day complaint, the
employers argue against change
from a two-shift to a three-shift
basis on. account of the immense
cost entailed. It would require at
once a large increase in the num
ber of workmen employed, when
the labor supply in America is
already dangerously short, and in
most steel towns the housing is far
from sufficient for such added pop
ulation There is great difficulty also
in making wage readjustments; for
if the workers go to an eight-hour
cay and expect 12-hour pay for it,
and they cannot live on much less,
it means an enormous addition to
the labor cost of steel. The eight-
hour day has already been intro
duced in a number of American
steel mills, though in none of those
owned by the United States Steel
corporation, and it is universal in
England, and has been for many
years.
Radicalism In Labor.
Another thing that disturbs the
employers profoundly and I am
trying to show how the situation
really looks and feels to them in
what seems the utterly wild demand
of the more radical groups of labor
not only to a voice in settling labor
questions (which is all that the con
servative labor movement has asked
in the past) but in the management
of the industry itself. They assert
that the whole labor movement is
being permeated with these danger
ous ideas; several of them told me
that they had formerlv held Gomp
ers in high esteem as a conservative
labor leader, but that he now seem
ed to have yielded to the radical ele
ment. They have made a great
point Judge Gary did in his senate
testimony ot the leadership of such
men as William Z. roster, who was
tormerly a radical syndicalist and a
member of the I. W. W. They have
had reprinted and distributed wide
ly Foster's small red book. I had
it offered to me four different times
in as many days to show what la
bor is after.
They see clearly the enormous
complexity and delicacy of the in
dustrial mechanism they have built
up. They see the complicated tech
nical processes in their industry I
visited at Gary the huge establish
ment vhere the bv-products A the
coking ovens are reduced into vari
ous valuable oils and chemicals
they see the immense intricacy of
their organization for digging and
shippng the ore and the coal, and
for manufacturing and selling their
products from China to Peru. They
know how little it takes to throw
this delicate mechanism out of gear.
The idea, then, of crowds of igno
rant workers, who have no knowl
edge of the problems involved, no
training to deal with them, breaking
with extreme demands for a
share, or for a control, of the man
agement seems wildly destructive
and disastrous. They fear it des
perately and exhibit as a proof of
the reasonableness of their fear
what has happened in Russia. They
regard it not only as meaning the
destruction of their own power, and
of the organization which they have
built up so painfully through so
many years, but as a complete over
throw of our institutions. The solid
earth of traditions, economic prac
tices, legal regulations their very
earth seems crumbling under their
feet. It is this feeling that has
brought so large a number of em
ployers, many of whom do not agree
with his policies, to the support of
Judge Gary.
One of the more moderate em
ployers said to me- "We probably
made a mistake in not sooner es
tablishing a basis of real co-operation
with our men: but that is past,
and now that the issue has come in
the form it has, we've got to stand
by Judge Gary."
The unfortunate effect of the pres
ent crisis is to drive both sides to
extremes. The employers' group is
undoubtedly moving at present to
ward the extreme position of Judge
Uary and the labor group is un
doubtedly moving away from Mr.
Gompers toward ihe more radical
leadership. There are tremendous
counter influences at work, and
many quiet reconstructive experi
mentswhich I shall describe later
but at present they do not appear
to be enough known or well enough
organized to stop this drift.

Police Emergency Car
Loses in Exciting Race
After Being Rammed
The police emergency car and an
other automobile engaged in an ex
citing race through the north end of
town early yesterday morning after
the emergency car was rammed at
Sixteenth and Burdette streets by
the other machine.
Bob Moore. Fortv-sixth and Bur
dette streets, suffered badly bruised
and cut limbs in the collision.
Chauffeur Frank Haley with Chief
of Detectives John Dunn was driv
ing the emergency car north on Six
teenth street when the automobile
in which Moore was riding crashed
into the rear of the police machine.
Moore told the police a man
named "Pat" was driving the car
He refused to obey Dunn's order to
stop even after Dunn had drawn his
revolver.
Haley chased "Pat's" car north al
most to Ames avenue and then south
to Seventeenth and Chicago streets,
where the pursued car stopped.
Moore was the only passenger in
"Pat's" car unable to flee. The rest
escaped.
Moore was attended by a police
surgeon and removed to his home.
The police are looking for the re
mainder of the automobile party.
