Tv ■ m | Hughes Gets Great Reception on Arrival Presidential HARRISBURG (hRhITELEGRAPH LXXXV — No. 181 HUGHES OPENS CAMPAIGN AMID GREAT OVATION In Impromptu Speech at De troit Scores Strife Retween Capital and Labor NATIONAL WELFARE CLUR ? Favored by Republican Nomi nee; Two Addresses and Many Conferences By Associated Press Detroit, Aug. 7.—Charles E. Hughes, speaking to-day to forty manufactu rers of Detroit and vicinity, employ ing nearly 100,000 men, congratulated them upon what they had done for the welfore of their employes, told them that the democracy of the United States would not stand for a continua tion of "this alleged strife between capital and labor," and declared that the American workman' should not be regarded as a mere economic unit, but as "a fellow worker, a human being." Mr. Hughes' address was impromptu and followed a brief speech by J. M. Eaton, spokesman for the manufactu rers, who outlined the welfare meas urers for employes taken by indus trial concerns here and suggested that the nominee endorse a movement looking to the formation of a natiohal welfare association of manufacturers. Mr. Hughes said he regarded the sug gestion very favorably. Speaks to Su:Yra£ists A few minuter, later Mr. Hughes spoke to a group of suffragists. The day was hot and the air of the little room where he received the manufac turers and the suffragists was almost stifling. The nominee spoke r with his wife standing beside him. Mr. Hughes reiterated in his address to the suflragists his declaration in New York that the suffrage question phould be settled speedily by giving the vote to women all over the coun try. He added that he had formed thi3 opinion long a?.i, before he though that the time would ever come when he would have to announce his position publicly. Not Mere Economic Units In his address to the manufacturers Mr. Hughes said in part: "It is an awful mistake to think of the men through whose activity pro duction is possible as mere economic units. They aro human beings. We are all working men in this country. We are in different spheres of activity, but we ought to have a sense of co operation so that every man takes pride in what he is doing and in doing it to the best of his ability because he is working alongside of every other man for the good of the country. "The human factor is after all the important factor. You may develop your physical plants, your physical in strumentalities, distribution and every thing that goes to make up the ma terial side of prosperity, but you are absolutely hopeless without the human factor, and in America, the land of free men, the man who is at work for J a living must feel that the country is I doing the right thing by him. He is I entitled to be safe in liis work, to have every precaution taken against every sort of accident that can be prevented. Must Piotect Workmen "A man is put at work. How can he refuse the job which stands between ! him and starvation? It is perfectly idle to say in our industrial conditions that he can take or refuse the work, according to his idea of the safety ap pliances which may be provided to protect him. You have got to protect him. No man can \tfork In any position where his life, his limb or his health are subject to any unnecessary risk, some job in a first-class way. That is good business. "We are not materialists in this country; we are all idealists; but the one thing that appeals to the work ingman is the idea that .he is equal to some job in a first-calss way. That is what makes him proild; that is what | makes him satisfied; and when you consider our great industrial manu facture and the enormous extension of our industrial markets, the hope that in all this there will be right through it the spirit of human brotherhood, of fellowship and of co-operation, so that managers and workingmen will feel that they are engaged in a com mon cause. "And we will get through with this old strife between labor and capital. Democracy cannot stand it. We are not laborers and capitalists in this country. We are fellow-citizens. "That is what I stand for, and ! therefore, becaus-j you enrich our citi- I zenship, because you build permanent l the foundations of our society, I greet' you and I wish you the best success in your work." Has Busy Afternoon The afternoon was devoted to con ferences with political leaders in Mich igan, the visit to the baseball park, the tour of local automobile plants and the ' luncheon with newspapermen at the Detroit Athletic Club. Mr. Hughes' first speech of the even ing was to be made shortly before 8 o'clock in the Arcadia Auditorium, John Magnum, chairman of the Re publican State Committee, was ex pected to Introduce the candidate. At the Light Guard Armory, where the second speech was to be made, Mayor Marx, of Detroit, was to make the in troductory speech. WILSOX BACK FROM CRUISE By Associated Press Washington. Aug 7.

Patrick Gilday, chief of the bureau of mediation of the State department of Labor and Industry, was expected here this afternoon to represent the Commonwealth in accordance with Governor Brumbaugh's recent prom ise to the strike leaders to arrange a common meeting ground between company officials and the strikers, but not much is expected of this effort. Mayor E. S. Meals and City Solici tor D. S. Seitz tried to arrange a sim ilar conference with President Frank B. Musser of the railways corpora tion with a view to urging Mr. Musser to meet the men. Mr. Gilday's Conference The directors of the trolley com pany met just before noon with President Frank B. Musser to con sfder the letter from John Price Jackson, Commissioner of the Depart ment of Labor and industry, relative to arrangements for a meeting with Mr. Gilday. Following this meeting President Musser notified Commissioner Jack son that there are '-no difficulties be tween the company and its employes at the present time to adjust" and that "the oply question now presented is that of permitting an outside or ganization, having no interest in the affairs of'the company, representing a small portion of the former em ployes. to assume the right to act for all of our employes in discussing' matters which have already been ad justed.

Planning Four-day Trip on Wm. Penn Highway J. W. Donahey, William Penn road governor for Allegheny county, is map ping out what is to be called the "Key stone tour," a four-day trip covering 650 miles in Pennsylvania, and the William Penn Highway will be in cluded in this tour in its entirety. "No road in the eastern part of the United States has a prettier scenia investiture than the William Penn Highway, and indications are that this thoroughfare will break touring records this week, las it has been breaking marketing | records all summer.

That occurs near Huntingdon, where the | contractor is placing the rock foun dation for four miles of new hihway, necessitating a detour. In Westmore land and Indiana counties the road was never in better shape. From Cam bria county east to Harrisburg the highway is a continual surprise to travelers. In this section there are 130 straightaway miles of permanent road, passing through a country rich in scenic beauty. Travelers from the eastern or western sections of Penn sylvania who have never passed through the Lewistown Narrows or the beautiful Juniata Valley should avail themselves of the opportunity j this week.

Surf&W, Rtate Wtrtitlrrrtc zoologist, is very much on the Job at the State Capitol. Ho started on the last week of his connection with the State government payroll to-day by making some plans for orchard inspec tion and other work which would in dicate that he is not disturbed over the future. The Pennsylvania bugmaster gen eral, as he was called by some of his friends at the time of his engage ment with the powers, declined to make any comments to-day but there were intimations that he had a can or two of explosive sticking around. Dr. Surface did not get to see the Governor during the executive's brief visit to Harrisburg. He had planned to call on him the afternoon of the day that Secretary Patton secured Dr. Brumbaugh's approval to the invita tion to Prof. J. ,G. Sanders, Wisconsin State entomologist, but the Governor left town in such a hurry that he did not have the pleasure of a call from the scrappy scientist. Prof. Sanders is understood to have accepted the invitation in a formal way. He accepted in an informal way over two weeks ago and at the time of his visit informed Dr. Surface, when the zoologist told him he would be after the place again two years hence, that he could come after him and the place all he chose. . , It is pretty broadly intimated that in the movement of a change of ad ministration occurring in 1919 that a cyclone will hit the Department of Agriculture very early in the year and Dr. Surface is suspected of planning to be pretty close in its wake.

The amendment would lower the exemp tion for persons with families from SI,OOO to $3,000 and for single persons from $3,000 to $2,000. The decision, it is said, will not be ratified by the Damocratic caucus with out a vigorous fight. The subcommittee, of which Senator Gore is chairman, but in his atffcence. led by Senator James, of Kentucky, de cided not to lower the exemption from its present status of $3,000 for single men and $4,000 for married men. Thoy favored taxing the larger incomes and decided to add a surtax of 13 per cent, to incomes in excess of $1,000,000, mak ing the tax on these incomes 15 per cent. The opposing Democratic Sena tors are more inclined to political ex pediency than to recognition of such a dire need of revenue as to require low ering the exemption of $2,000 for single and $3,000 for married men.
