The letter was addressed to J. K. Van Tjykc, Kast Orange, N. J., who wrote to Redfleld asking support of tho La Kollette peace resolution, now In the Senate.

There Is, for example, no reference to the rape of Belgium, nor docs It srpw by direct word or by Internal evidence that you hae read the clear and lucid statement by the Presi dent on the causes of the war. 'There Is no word In your communication that speaks an American Bplrlt. You seem Interested to assert evil Intentions on the 'part of tho nation associated with us In the war, and an equally earnest wish to slur over the spirit and act on the part of Ger many, which brought this war Into being. Subtlely and by Indirection you take such course as would stab your country In the back, as would tie the hards of the Presi dent and make Ineffective for rlgnteousness the sacrifices of our men and our treasure. "You deal with superficialities and neglect the substance. You chase shadows and Ig nore realities. You seem not to know that there are two great opposing Ideals In the Rorld, one of which must go down before the other. These Ideals are autocracy and democracy. "Autocracy has put Us heel on Belgium, on Serbia, on Montenegro, on Poland, on Bumanla, on a fair part of France. "It Is Mskllled and highly trained autoc racy. It knows well how to disguise its purposes and how to conduct through weak and willing hands a secret campaign In many lands. Including our own, hiding Itself tinder the guise of fairness, pleading In the fair name of peace, for the purpose of dotog Us foul deeds. A DESPERADO AMONG NATIONS "Against this militant autocracy whose lust for power led It to begin this murder ous war by deliberate attack on nations who sought only quiet, against this des perado among the nations stand the democ racies of the world ; the free peoples against the peoples that are bound; the peoples whoso Ideal Is right against the peoples whose Ideal Is might. "In the fearful combat autocracy tr em pties on the edge of the disaster, and this is the time you cunningly lift your, voice In ' Its behalf.

"For the American people abhor not only autocracy, but that which autocracy has done In this war. They look with horror on what autocracy has done In Belglnm. They shrink from what autocracy has done with the daughters of France. They shudder at the continued slaughter of women and children In defenseless towns In the name ef autocracy. They deeply resent that men and women are sent to a pitiless death that autocracy may work Us will upon the seas. Ajalnst these and all things like them, wrought by autocracy for Its own end, the American people stand embattled. "No humane note rings In your letter. No pity for slaughtered nations shows In It.

SMITH WANTS WORK RUSHED ' Mayor Smith has Issued a demand that th subway contracts be rushed. He called Senators Vare and McNlchol Into confer tnce and Informed them that he wanted action and that they would have to accept or'reject the bids Immediately. The firms of which McNlchol and Vare -are controlling factors hold contracts to taling J15.000.000 for the construction of the main lines of the new subway system, i The contracts were awarded, some weeks o. As yet they have not been signed. , Because of prevailing high prices the con tractors sought certain concessions from tha city. It Is understood that some of these will not be granted. Senator McNlchol this afternoon said that the contractors who bid on the construction ork on the subways and elevated lines re- ) eantly awarded will wait until tomorrow ' morning for the city to make up Us mind i wore they take any further action them- ("Ives. He and Senator Vare yesterday ,manded concessions on the contracts from nth Mayor. "It Is all over so far as the contractors concerned," said McNlchol. "We will Jake no action until tomorrow morning, 'however," 1 It has been admitted In political circles (that the Organization Councllmen were Jrtven their orders some time ago to vote i w the proposed agreement when It came More Councils for ratification. Today, (however, because they do not wish to be ;tn to task by their constituents or be I teuse they have adopted a policy of making ret their attitude, they declared that r i TOO TATE TOR CLASSIFICATION' there was no hurry. They could form their op.nlons later on, they paid. Members of both Select and Common I?,. . Mla tnat they had ntll the first public hearing, September 7, In which to make up their minds. They also said that the lease was so Involved that while they could easily understand tho so-called "Tay lor lease submitted to the city last De cember they could not understand the Smlth-Mltten lease, VIEWS OF COUNCILMEN Following are the expressions of peveral Councllmen: Ira D. Garman, Select Councilman, Forty, sixth Ward: "I have gone over the lease pretty thoroughly, but have not been able to digest It or to understand what It means, It Is quite a feat to figure It out, and after that Is done I will have to And nut wliMfca the people want to accept It or not. I Intend to vote the way the people want and will be for a fair and Just transit agreement. But I have, not been able as yet to make up my mind whether the new lease Is a fair agree ment or not." Robert E. Lamberton, Common Council man, Twenty-tecond Ward; "I was def- inueiy opposed to the so-called Taylor lease and unless this new lease Is a big Im provement oer the other one, I will be strongly opposed to It. But I am having a difficult time trying to find out what the new lease means. I have gone oxer It care fully once and I can't even understand any of It I expect to go over It once or twlco more before I express my opinion." William F. Nickel. Jr.. Select Council man. Eleventh Ward: "I have not been able to go over tho lease very carefully, at least not carefully enough to express any opin ion on any features of It, There Is lots of time yet before It will come up for action In Councils," Harry II Anderson, Common Councilman, Twenty-first Ward: "I haven't given the new lease a thought. I have not read It and I do not know when I will I am too busy attending to my business to read the lease." Krancis F. Burch, Common Councilman, Forty-sixth Ward: "I am not hurrying through the lease and have not had time to form an opinion. It will not come up until September 7. when tho first hearing Is held. I have read It over, but have not gone through It very carefully. It appears to be so Involved as to require the most careful study before any opinion of It could be formed. It Is the kind of a lease that I would not act hastily on." GERMANTOWN CRITICIZES William H. Emhardt. president of the Germantown and Chestnut Kiil Improve ment Association; Addison H, Savery, chairman, and Walter S. Dolman, a mem ber of the Transportation Committee of the Germantown and Chestnut Hill Improve ment Association, made the following Joint statement: When the people voted the money for the city's high-speed lines thev did so with the understanding that they were to be built under the direction of the Department of City Transit, on routes and between the points designated in tho loan bill. The people also then clearly understood that during the early years of operation of the city's high-speed svstem In con Junction with the P. R T. system the earnings on tho combined system, after paying a reasonable return on the cash actually Invested in P. R. T , would, with the eight-cent exchange tickets eliminated and with five-Cent fares with free trans fers, be Insufficient to meet the full in terest and sinking fund payments on tha city bonds Issued for transit develop ment, and that the annual deficits would be made up by the city out of other current revenue, Including the one mill tax on personal property surrendered by the State to the city as a subsidy In aid of transit development, and the abnor mal Increase In tax returns to the city treasury, which will inevitably result from the vast Increase In taxable values In the districts served by the city's high-speed lines. These are the rights which we have voted for; they are, ours We shall not surrender them or surrender to any board the power to curtail or amend hem. The terms of the lease which Mayor Smith and Mr. Mitten have negotiated and proposed as an arrangement to be made between the city and the P. R. T. Company are grossly unfair to the citi zens and to the city and for hls reason would In the end prove burdensome rather than advantageous to the P. P., T. Com pany. Any suCh arrangement as Is proposed to surrender control of Philadelphia s transit development to a board of three members would throw the P. R. T. Com pany into a political whirlpool for the term of the contract. AROUSED BY TATLOR Ex-Director A. Merrltt Taylor has torn from the Smith ordinance the mask of ob scure terms and cross-references which concealed Its true meaning from, and Its effect upon, the citizens and car-rldcrs. The members of our association are thoroughly aroused by Mr. Taylor's able and clear analysis of the Smith lease and by his expose of the unjust, If not ln- bv nil. ,, e hope that Mr. Taylor's guess that X'i. c.ha,CmRn of the executive committee ana the board of directors of the P. II. T, Company will promptly repudiate the Smith lease when the terms and effect tnercof have been "frankly presented to or analyzed by them" Is correct. Nevertheless, wo shall promptly pre pare to fight for our rights. SU.' .PV'1,0 ,1,as. ?0UBb.! for th8 citizens pf Philadelphia falthtully and unrelent ingly for four years. As we believe that Mr. Taylor has no ax to grind and Is simply making good his promise to us made somo three years ago that, If we would back him tip. he would fight for us to the finish, we are now prepared to back him tip to the limit of our ability. BANKERS AGAINST GRAB ...""stairs & Co1, bankers and brokers, of 1119 Walnut street, issued tho following statement: .Our firm and a number of our clients who nre largely Interested In Philadel phia Rapid Transit Company stock can not, from any point, npprovo of the Smith lease ., Although the Smith lease would give the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company vast concessions beyond those which the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company agreed to accept under tha terms of the Taylor lease, which resulted from six weeks of negotiation between the Phlla (Iclphla Rapid Transit Company and A. Merrltt Taylor, and which was tendered by the company to the city on December 20 last, with the unqualified and publla approval of Mr. n. T. Stotesbury, wo are Of the Olllnlnu flint lh Tnvlnr (Ann. which has become generally regarded In tho financial community as a fair and square settlement between tho city and tho company, should bo accepted and en tered Into by the city nnd tho companv. Although It appears that the Philadel phia Rapid Transit Company would, under tho Smith lease, gain enormous additional advantages beyond the terms which It agreed to accept as equitable, the advantages so gained are not real, but fictitious: for It must be remembered that any partnership built upon an unfair agreement cannot accomplish any good purpose or be permanent. Chester Ship Plant Closed; Men Quit A Continued from Tncr (me to Chester from this city today to take charge of the situation there That Government officials consider the shipyard situation to be ono of extreme gravity was Indicated today when It was announced by Secretary of the Navy Daniels that Increases In pay to be given employes at the Philadelphia Navy Yard would be come effective two months earlier than usual. The announcement camo while the secretary was discussing the strike. A committee of Philadelphia Navy Yard employes today presented to Secretary Daniels a petition signed by 7000 men. plodglng their loyalty to the Government and announcing opposition to labor troubles which would embarras Govern ment work. Before leaving, Oavan took occasion to make emphatic denial of the charge that the shipyard strike Is tho result of German propaganda, declaring that nil members of tho union were loyal Americans and that the union would welcome Investigation by any Government official He also denied that tho I. W. W. had any part In the strike. According to Cavan's official statement, the number of men on strike In Philadel phia Is between 3f0 and 400 The plants affected are as follows: John Balzley Iron Works, 510 South Delaware avenue : Philadelphia Ship Re pairing Company, Mifflin street; tho General Engineering Works, 717 South Front street, Connery & Co., Second and Luzerne streets; Keystone Boiler Works, 1610 Umbrla street; Henry Goldner Boiler and Tank Works. Water and Mifflin streets; the IZ A. Hlbbs Boiler Works, Quarry and Bread streets, and the Philadelphia Boiler Works. 1737 Filbert street. Union officials, however, assert that at the Hlbbs, Keystone and Connery plants no strike was called, but the men were locked out. Organizer Cavan was particularly em phatic In his denial that German Influences had brought about the strike In the hope of hampering war preparation In America He asserted that to the best of his knowl edge no Government w-ork was In progress at any of the plants where the men had gone out "We welcome Investigation by the De partment of Justice or by United States District Attorney Kane. If Mr. Kane will call on me, I will furnish him with Informa tion explaining why the' men struck All of the union's books will be freely shown to Government agents and these agents will also be permitted to attend our meetings" A statement, credited to R. A. Ruther ford, manager of the Balzley plant, where the strike started, to the effect that the union had been bankrupt until recently and had suddenly acquired funds from mysteri ous sources, was characterized by Cavan as absurd "We have ample funds In the treasury and can carry on the strike for the rest of tho year," he said. "We do not wish to embarrass the Government. Wo are fighting for an eight-hour day and Increasea wages. All the firms affected by the strike were notified of our demands on July 5." The formal demands made by the union are as follows! Fifty cents an hour, or II an eight-hour day for bollermakers ! thirty seven and a half cents an hour, or $3 a day, for helpers; fifty-five cents an hour, or $4.40 a day, for flange turners, and $4.50 n, day for field workers, with U a day bonus for men employed thlrty-fhe feet above the ground. "FLYING SQUADRON" FORMED A mass-meeting of the strikers was held today In the headquarters of the Clgarmak ers' Union. 232 North Ninth street. About 120 attended, They were cautioned to ab stain from all violence, but to picket as much as possible. A "flying squardon" wan formed, consisting of about fifty men, to do picket duty throughout tho city. The Boiler Manufacturer nnd Plate Metal Association, which Is the employers' organization, will hold a meeting tomor row night in tho Manufacturers' Club to discuss the demands of the strikers. W. M. connery, president of the employers' body and head of one of the plants affected, was In New York today, but attuches of his office denied that his trip Had anything to do with the strike. Robert A. Rutherford, manager of the Balzley plant, who made the charge that German propaganda was responsible for tho walkout, has not made any formal com plaint to Government officials When asked If he would seek an audience with Special Agent Carbarlno or Dlstilct Attorney Kane, he said no. When asked If he had any evidence uf n German plot, he admitted he had not. in heply to a question as to what he based his charge of conspiracy on, he said: "Only a short time ago, the brotherhood was bankrupt. Its members were deserting Suddenly tho organization was rosurrccted. duo to money coming from unknown sources. The latest wo hear Is that the leaders of tllA YirntlAfV,nnrl ftftm nil -.... , I. "" " V...VV..., ..win i,i 1'.I119 HI IIIQ country havo flocked to this city and are quartered in lino style at various hotels here. It might be well for them to explain where they obtained their recent contribu tions, which. I am told, run Into the thou sands. I have also heard that tho I. W. W. Is co-operating with the local here In this trouble." KANE MAKES NO MOVE United States District Attorney Kane said that he had received no adUces from Washington Instructing him to make an In vestlgatlon of the strike. He added, how cor, that If he should receive Information that tho I. W W. was inohed, he would take steps to proceed against them. Officials of the Chester Shipbuilding plant were In conference all day at the plant at Third and Kerlln streets, and would not discuss the situation. It was learned, however, that fully 1200 men had quit work, more than h.tlf the total number employed. About halt of the strikers are ilveters. Their chief grieanco Is about wages. They say they do not Insist on shorter hours, A mass-meeting was held late this afternoon In Clipler's Hall. Third nnd Kerlln streets. No picketing was done by tho strikers, and thero was no violence of any kind. A number of pipefitters who struck with the riveters went back to work today after re ceiving n concession in the wage schedule. In discussing tho walkouts throughout the Kast, Secretary Daniels today said: "Realizing that wages have Increased greatly slnco tho w-Hgo scalo for this year was fixed by tho Navy Department, steps wcro taken several weeks go to head off a widespread tie-up of navy yards through strikes. "Representatives of three departments War. Navy and Labor hao been inves tigating for seeral weeks tho wages paid by private employment near navy yards and arsenals. Under the law wo must pay the scale of wages prevailing in the lo calities In which the Government plant are located INCREASES JUSTIFIED "I expect that the tlual report of the commission will be finished by August 24, and that eaily In September th. increases will become effective. " There fa no doubt that Increases aie Jutlllod in certain claasea. Ordinarily th question' of -wages Is not taken up until October of each year and the new scale does not become effec tive until (December, so this means the higher pay will become effective about two months earlier than usual." ' All the walkouts In Philadelphia occurred approximately at the samo hour. The Balzley firm was one of the largest affected by the walkout. The strikers were employed chiefly In building transatlantic freighters. "There Is no question that German money Is back of the strike," Mr. Rutherford satd. "The whole thing Is a deliberate con spiracy which I shall bring to the atten tion of the United States authorities. Our men did not even state a grievance befoie they went out. They were simply Intimi dated by the threats of unlop agents, who have been swarming about the "streets here for days. Theso agents told the men that they would be attacked and beaten If they did not go out at tho call of the union. "Now there are obvious reasons why it Is of advantage to certain elements to tie up our work. We are engaged upon some operations which are of vital Importance to '"rtfn 1 , 7Vr :-?a i the Interest' of the aownwftL Tii '; tton of the 'union In calllnr a general strike of the men employer In the bollarmaking and shipbuilding trades at this time Is clearly 'designed to hinder our operations and to hold up the work of the Govern ment" NAVY TARD NOT AFFECTED When the brotherhood omclal was asked If thero would be an attempt to call out thi men working In the Philadelphia Navy Yard at a lower wage than thoso employed In open shops, he replied that the organiza tion did not consider the navy yard as a competitor of the shops affected by the strike. ' . Pickets were scattered along the South Delaware avenue machine shops early In the morning. They had previously enlisted the sympathy of union men employed on some of tho transportation barges, who on Monday refused to convey to a freighter a section 'of smokestack built In the Balzley shop. While only one section of the shops laid down their tools as the day's work began, the heads of the firms declared that mm gi hh th;v4a! , One of the largest yarsVt i ware, that of thstBunBhlpball pany, at Chester, has apparently all labor trouble.
