President Upholds
Public, Not Classes
"
EontlnuM From Pase Oite
eorv arbitration. The President goes
-on to say "in the matter of intcrua
Ylomil disputes which have led to war,
statesmen hnve sought to set up ns a
kerned v arbitration for war. Does not
this point the war for the settlement
pf industrial disputes by the establish
ment of a tribunal, fair and just to all,
Which will settle industrial disputes
which in the past led to war and dis
aster?" , ,
The narnllel is not perfectly clear,
for the President himself, when hesct
to work to organize the world against
future wirs, rejected the plan of ar
bitration nnd cuused to be incorpor
ated into the treaty of Versailles a cov
enant of .n league of nntlons. Tne
President has not himself- been a strong
hollpvpr In International tribunals, such
as he turns to now ns a parallel for his
organization of industrial society. '
rntA.nfoA If nt wf.ll. nerhflris. 1(1
Insist too strongly Upon the letter of
this parallel lint in gencroi, uieuinu:.-
man Y,n fipirivl nthltrntlnn lirfffMl it not
on the ground that It would prevent all
wars, but on uie ground maj u wumu
deter the resort to war. Given n cer
tain period In which to think over their
grievances nnd forced to talk them over
In the open before impartial third par
ties, it was felt that there would be few
wars. Arbitration yould give tlmo for
cooling off.
And it is some such arbitration as
tlila In Industrial disputes that close
advisers of the President hnve had In
intmi. It una nronosed bv some mem
bers of the public group in the unhappy
industrial oonierenrc cnueu ratniu
I.At tUn (fr1if fn atrlbft nlinuld be nosi-

It was proposed also that there should
be n sort of industrial twilight 7one,
where, though the Industry waR In pri
vate hands, the national interest should
be paramount, sucn ns hip nuiiumm.
coal mines, etc.; where the right in
strike should not be denied, but where
it should be mniic conuiiionui.
In Mich industries arbitration should
be compulsory to this extent, that no
strike should be colled until n certain
period, say ninety dnvs. had been given
to investigation of claims by on impar-ii-i
..i.n f,i.min1 wlilen Hiinuld re
port recommendations. Iloth labor and
enpitair however, It was proposed,
should be free at the end of the period
to reject the recommendations nnd re

should be no limltntion upon i !
to strike. Hut even with this restriction
it was not suggested that the right
of collective bargaining through labor
unions should be officially recognized.
Wilson Tnhes Middle Ground
The language which the President
uses In his message l consistent with
liis plan for regulating industrial dis
putes, which Is chscntinllv a compro
mise between the extreme labor view
thot the right to strike should not be
limited in nny respect, nnd the op
posite view enunciated by henntor
Cummins, that it should bo denied in
a great mnnv important industries.
Some such compromise Is likely to
come out of the present Industrial con
ference which is sitting behind closed
doors here in "Washington. And some
such compromise mny stand n chnnce
of acceptance by Congress, even in this
.presidential campaign year. An indus
trial tribunal Is almost sure to be set
up, the onlv question being exactly what
arc to be its powers.
The iceent vote in the House of Rep
resentatives indicates that Congress is
iu no mood, even in so nearly public
an employment ns that of the railway
workers, to deny flatlj the right to
strike
Hut it is not improbable that Con
gress would put the railroads, the coal
mines and one or two other industries
iu a twilight zone where the right to
strike would be conditional upon first
accepting investigation mid arbitration
by n public tribunal. , .
Tho sense thnt what wo have in this
country is the beginning of n class war
is growing strougcr. It is this which
drove tho administration in the cpnl
btrike to violnte pledges made in its
name, when tho Lever uct was pabscd
and resort to measures of dubious
utility to protect the public interest.
nass war came upon us with no ma
chinery for asserting tho paramotmtcy
of the interests of the whole people
which tho Picsidcnt stoutly mnlntains
In the words of his messaee already
quoted,
hat the President Is feeling his way
toward is machinery which will guard
tho country against repenting the fol
lies nnu ineptitude.!- or tho administra
tion's cniifco In attempting to meet the
coal strike.
It Is toward this end thnt the present
lndiistri.il conference is directed. And
it Is- this end which the President has
in mind in his message, which is full of
the sense that at last something new
nnd threatening lias nrisen In this coun
try, the beginning of n definite class
strupglc.
A blip lint llPHttnttnir In nan tltn nm 1
"class." the mind of the Whlto Hmisn
turns with fondness to tho idcnls of
other dais.
"We are," the President smiles, "a
partnership or nothing that is worth
while."
Hut somehow out of his administra
tion hns emerged something else to
which he feels impelled to address in
one of liis last sentences solemn words
of warning:
"Let those beware who would take
the shorter road of disorder autl revolution."
The Picsident hardly hands this in
dustrial problem over to Congress, His
words upon it are nil essay of a preach
ment addressed to the country rather
than a recommendation This prob
lem will bp the big bequest of Wilson
to ills successors, nnd it is one of
tho tragedies of politics thnt It should
lie so.

of the larger cities to be sold to the public at
prices around 75c per 12-pound package, and $1.50

H. D. IRWIN, Second Vice President
-, v 272 Bourse, Philadelphia, Pa.
from n position in life really humble
reads almost like n fnlry story. Horn
on a farm lu West Overton, Allegheny
county. December 10, 1840, seventy
yenrs nco, of parents in moderate cir
cumstances, he was virtually adopted nt
nn early ace by his moternnl grand
father, Abraham Ovcrholt. who was a
rich landowner.
Ills schooling wns meascr. After a
few jears in common sehool, Chester
Mllltnry Academy nnd Ottcrbcln Uni
versity, he became nt the bro of six
teen, n clerk, and n little later n book
keeper In his grandfather's distillery.
Just come of age lie appeared in
Pittsburgh one day as t'le ngent of n
fiim of (oke dealers and liis activity and
liitnlllffpnce unshed him to the fore very
rapidly. A year or two later he joined
n company tn build the Mount Plcnsnni
and Ilrond Ford Hnilrond, a coke line
It was opened In 1871 and Inld the basis
of the Frick fortune.
Saw Millions in Coke
That same sear Mr. Frick organized
tho corporation of Frick & Co., coke
dealers, which bought !?00 acres of soft
coal lands and fifty-one coke ovens in
the Coiinellsvlllo region and a year later
added IfiO ovens to its equipment.
In the panic of 1873 coke fell to
ninety cents n ton. Ilvcrjbody wanted
to sell out. Hut Frick s.nw the possl
bllitles of the Industry, He persuaded
Judge Thomas Mellon, the Pittsburgh
banker, to lend lum $iu,uuu, and with
tins ho bought out bis partners. This
wns the beginning of his alliance with
the Mellons. It is (.aid Mr. Mellon sent
J. 12. Corey to Investigate Frick and the
latter was found in a cabin consisting
of two tiny roomb
Coke rose after the panic to $5 a ton.
Mr. Frick wns nearly a millionaire be
fore he was thirty years old.
The business grew until it was or
ganised in 1R82 as the II. C. Frick Conl
Co. with $2,000,000 capital, holding
3000 acres of coal beds and 1020 ovens.
His Alliance With Carneglo
Now came the alliance with Andrew
Carnegie, the ironmaster. Mr. Frick ex
changed a half Interest in the coke com
iny for nn interest in the Carnegie
steel business. Iloth businesses mndc
rapid progress. In 18S!) Mr. Carnegie
made Frick chairmnn of Cnrnegle
Hids. & Co., Ltd., a reorganisation
of Carnegie Uros. He did this in order
thnt lr. J'rlcK inlKit eni Uiiruegic s
fight wltii his emplojcs, some of whom I tj,j lemn:knble growth of the Carnegie
were mnking w.iges ns high as $IR a i steel Co The compnnv built the I'nion
nay, uuu iu tiiuiiKti m bu.-ciuiuiub Kniiwav to connect its plants, con
conditions.
The result wns the great Homestead
strike, lint before this Mr. Frick had
strengthened the Carnegie rouipanv by
completing the monopolv of the Pitts
buigh Rtcel industry. He also unified
the company further under tho new
Cnrnegle Steel Co., Liih Then Mr.
Carnegie went to tho seclusion of Scot
land and the big fight was on.
The workers bdzed nnd fortified the
Homestead steel plant. They deported
tho sheriff nnd his deputies. Mr. Frick
imported 300 mined private dctccthes,
who were defeated and dlsnnned by the
strikers in a pitched battle, with a cas
ualty list of ten killed and sixty wound
ed. Stnto tioops then quieted the dis
trict. On July 23, 1S02. Alexander Berk
man, nn anarchist, shot Mr Frick sev
eral times in his private olficc and also
vtnbbed him. Iu thirteen dnjs Mr
Frick was actively ut work, nnd
throughout these thirteen days fioin his
sick bed lie had diiected the campaign
against the stilkcrs eveiy dav
Mr l licit noiv took a large part in
trncted for enormous amounts of oro tn
the Mesnbi field of Lake Superior, and
built a railroad to Lake Kn and a line
of steamships for lake traffic.
Poncr in Wnll Street
Mr. Frick becamo a decided power
in Wall street. He is said to havo mado
$8,000,000 in one speculative deal In
Rending Hallway stocks. Ho became
n power In the Cambria Steel Co., tho
Norfolk nnd Western Itailrond, the
Ualtimorc and Ohio and tho Pennsyl
vania. Mr. Frick now became an ally of the
genius Edward II. Harrlman. He was
one of the powers in the Republican
party in Pennsylvania, and is credited
with having n large share in choice of
Philander C. Knox for the United States
Senate.
In 1881 Mr. Frick married Adelaide
