resented at the Trade Unions Con
gress at Glasgow in September to

accept the miners' demands tor na
tionalization of the industry in
they are employed.
An initial attempt to win govern
mental approval of the project, the
sending of a trades union deputation
to consult with the premier, lias

whole matter is merely being held
in abeyance until the return of the

Up to Republicans
to End Extravagance,
Says Columbia Head
Philadelphia, Nov. 24. Nicholas
'Murray Butlor, president of Colum
bia University, in an address here
last night before the Union League,
declared that "upon the Republican
party rests the responsibility of
bringing to an end the veritable
orgy of waste, extravagance and ad
ministrative incompetence that has
marked the course of the present
administration."
Enumerating the various crises
through which the American Nation
has passed, Dr. Butler suid the peo
pe would face another crisis in 1920
brought about those who have
ost faith in America and who no
longer believe in or who do not un
derstand tho principles of the Dec
laration of Independence and of the
Constitution of the United States."
Such men, he said, proclaimed their
preference for the politicisl phil
osophy of a Lenine and a Trotzky
to that of a Washington, a Hamil
ton, a Webster or a Lincoln but the
American people, he declared, "will
meet and surmount this crisis as
they have those that have gone be
fore."
The speaker analyzing the history
of the Republican party, said that in
its making there had gone four sets
of influences, viz: "The strong and
constructive nationalism of the
American Government's founders:,
the passionate American zeal of
Henry Clay, the moral idealism of
Abraham Lincoln and the broad,
human sympathy of Theodore Roose
velt." If the party remained true
to its principles and ideals, he said,
and exerted'ltself "to meet face to
face the people of the United States
who may be troubled or in doubt, the
future of this country will be secure
and the great problems that are
awaiting solution will be solved in
the general interest and in a way
to promote the progress of our
Nation and of the race."

paign of education was contem
plated. This drive to convert the

wean women from old prejudices
against the laundry, and to acquaint
them with the notable progress that
has been made by the industry within

TO END STRIKE
Accepts Mandate of the Inter

gents Undecided

issued by the executive council of I
the International Typographical j
Unon, ordering the striking members I
of Typographical Union No. 6 back !
to work, wqs accepted by a vote of
three to one at a meeting of "Fig

surgent element are undecided
whether to defy the international or
return to work.

loyal to the international union," |
Leon H. Rouse,, president of "Big i
Six," announced after the meeting.
The strike is nearing the end of
the second month und has paralyzed
the printing industry in this city.
A fine or revocation of the union's
charter was the ultimatum contained
in tho mandate in which the council
expressed the conviction that con
tinued refusal of the "vacationist
members," to return to work would
result in an openshop and nonunion
conditions.
The mandate also ordered' the
union to instruct its officers to arbi
trate the question of when the 44-
hour week should be inaugurated.
.Lively scenes attended the read
ing of the mandate. Hisses and cat
calls threatened to prevent the de
tails being heard and oratory con
tinued for almost three hours before
the vote was taken.
Conservative leaders informed the
strikers that they had no alternative
but to accept. Representative of the
insurgent faction pointed out that
foreign laborers had obtained a 44-
hour week while they were obliged
to work 4 8 hours. Some counseled on
remaining on "vacation" until the
shorter hours were granted regard
loss of consequences.
Assurances have been given by
the employing printers that all will
be taken back without discrimina
tion.
John W. Hays, secretary-treasurer
of the international, said that the
council would remain here to speed
arbitration of the issues.
