The Outlook JUNE 9, 1920 their inalienable right to quit their work for their own advantage. Governor Allen agreed with much of this encomium, but said that he spoke not as a representative of either labor or capital, but for the general public. He outlined the conditions in Kansas that led to the institution of the Industrial Relations Court-the antagonism between coal miners and operators and the resultant coal famine, leaving schools, hospitals, and homes without fuel in the dead of winter. The Government, he said, has a right to protect its citizens against such a calamity. "We have not," said Governor Allen, "taken away from any man his divine right to quit work. We have merely taken away from Mr. Gompers his divine right to order a man to quit work." This hit at the essence of autocratic unionism was scarcely met by Mr. Gompers's reply that in his fifty years of activity in organized labor he had himself never ordered a strike. me up with their brawl," he said, "I will call the police and send them to jail, not because of the damage they are doing to each other, but because they woke me up." Not less interesting than the speeches in this intensely serious debate were the audience and their comments. Half of the tickets were issued to Governor Allen and half to Mr. Gompers for distribution. Mr. Gompers's sympathizers apparently responded in much greater force, but a fair hearing was given by them to Governor Allen. In a house that was packed GOVERNOR HENRY J. ALLEN, OF KANSAS court should be permitted to destroy An autocracy to abridge labor's rights 1st not be instituted in America, when have fought for and won democracy d liberty in the World War." This, in essence, was Mr. Gompers's tention. The issue was fairly joined in the ate and the contestants were fairly tched. Both men were in dead earnest, h were talking from deep-seated contion, both were able speakers. Mr. mpers gave the impression of being more aggressive, Governor Allen (a inger man) of being conciliatory in attitude and possibly more adroit in presentation of his case. Mr. Gompers's encomium on labor ons was an eloquent one. They had, said, broken up the sweat-shops, aboled child labor, and given shorter hours, ter living conditions, and hope and ure to the working classes. This work st not now be undone, he said, by makcriminals of them when they asserted AN UNANSWERED QUESTION THE most debates was perhaps when Governor Allen asked Mr. Gompers to answer this question: HE most dramatic moment of this sig. "When a dispute between capital and labor brings on a strike affecting the production or distribution of the necessities of life, thus threatening the public peace and impairing the public health, has the public any rights in such a controversy, or is it a private war between capital and labor? If you answer this question in the affirmative, Mr. Gompers, how would you protect the rights of the public?" This question was dodged by the advocate of unionism. His reply, in effect, was that the importance of strikes was greatly exaggerated; that if the country was really confronted with great disaster or revolution, there might be some significance in the proposed remedy supported by Governor Allen; that there was something worse than strikes a degraded manhood compelled to labor compulsorily; that the employer always had the ad Press Illustrating Service SAMUEL GOMPERS, LABOR LEADER from floor to ceiling hardly a single indihours' session-not even while Mr. Gomvidual left during the three and a half pers was reading a poem on labor as his peroration! The impression left by the debate was that organized labor is indifferent to the public in demanding unrestricted freedom to strike; and that men who take a wider view of the problems of American life are coming to the conviction that the right of organized bodies of men to leave their work must be subordinated to the general welfare by process of law. THE NATIONAL CONVENTIONS vantage in a court controversy, for he BEFORE this issue of The Outlook against could appeal if the him, while the employees must go back to work as slaves if the decision was against them. Governor Allen's position was effectively summarized by him in an amusing interlude. "If two men get to fighting at interlude. "If two men get to fighting at midnight in front of my house and wake Republicans will have convened in Chicago-June 8 is the opening day of the Convention-to select their Presidential nominee. We give a brief résumé of the situation in which the Convention will begin its deliberations. In the Republican Convention there will be 984 members, the membership being somewhat smaller than in the Democratic Convention, because in the latter each State is allowed two delegates for every electoral vote, the electoral vote corresponding with the State's representatives in Congress. Thus each State has four delegates, called delegates-at-large, for the two Senators, while for every Representative in Congress it has two more delegates. Delegates to the Republican Convention are elected in the same way, but with this restriction-by allowing only one delegate to a Congressional district in which less than 7,500 votes were cast for a Republican candidate at the preceding Congressional or Presidential election. Another striking difference in the two Conventions is found in the voting. The Democrats hold to the unit rule-that is to say, a State casts a solid vote for some one candidate, the vote being according to the majority in the State. Not so the Republicans. Delegates may vote individually. This fairer rule has already caused some commotion among the Democrats; Mayor Lunn, of Schenectady, and Samuel Seabury, ex-Judge of the Court of Appeals, led the fight for adopting the rule in the recent Democratic conference of New York State delegates to the National Convention. They unsuc cessfully endeavored to get a resolution passed to the effect that delegates shall not be subject to any unit rule by which the majority may deprive the minority of the opportunity of voting in accord with the will of the constituents. The application of the unit rule in New York State means that Mr. Murphy, the Tammany Boss, may dictate the action of the State delegation. " Another difference between the two Conventions is found in the requirement for a Presidential nomination. Only a majority of votes is required by the Republican Convention, but in the Democratic the candidate must secure twothirds. THE END OF THE PRIMARIES HE end of this season's primaries Virginia. On the Republican side the contestants for the Presidential nomination were Leonard Wood and Howard Sutherland, the latter United States Senator from West Virginia. Senator Sutherland won by about 10,000 votes over General Wood. In Vermont the State Convention was held following the preceding week's primary. The delegates to the National Convention, though uninstructed, are all openly for Wood. In Texas the Republican State Convention instructed twenty-one of its twenty-three delegates to the National Convention to (C) Keystone View Co. JOHN W. DAVIS, WITH MRS. ROBERT LANSING (LEFT) AND MRS. DAVIS (RIGHT) vote for Johnson. In all three States the Democratic delegates are uninstructed. A summary of the results in the various States shows the number of uninstructed delegates to the Republican Convention to be 529; that to the Democratic Convention exceeds this number. In instructed delegates Leonard Wood continues in the lead, followed by Senator Johnson, Governor Lowden, and Senator Harding. On the Democratic side, Attorney-General Palmer and Governor Cox, of Ohio, are apparently tied. The popular Democratic vote, however, as reported each week in the "Literary Digest's" poll, indicates that ex-Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo is emphatically in the lead. A preliminary act of the Republican National Committee occurred on May 31, at Chicago, when the Republican National Committee began its consideration of over one hundred and thirty contests for seats by delegates. These were almost entirely from the Southern States. The most important feature about the hearing was the fact that it was entirely open. The representatives of the press remained. throughout and heard the Committee's discussions. This is the first time, so far as we know, that this has happened. Such publicity will lessen any charge that a steam roller has been operated for any candidate. MR. DAVIS AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE Mr. Davis by saying that he has all the President's good qualities and no of the qualities that have brought M.: Wilson to grief. Mr. Davis has almo as much capacity for vision as Mr. W son, almost as much capacity for disti guished and graceful public utteran But Mr. Davis's mind has the advanta of Mr. Wilson's in the fact that his p career, unlike Mr. Wilson's acaden one, has compelled him to match mind against the minds of other lawy and subjected his arguments to t scrutiny of judges. Mr. Davis's mind better disciplined, more athletica" trained. He can deal in abstractions, t keep his feet firm on a concrete base. Mr. Davis is a young man; he is forty-seven years old. He was bor West Virginia and took his B.A. at Washington and Lee University of ginia, where later he became Assis Professor of Law. He lives at Clarkst West Virginia, where he was born where he has practiced law. He has a member of the West Virginia Hou Delegates and was elected to the S second and Sixty-third Congresses (1 15). He resigned from Congress t come United States Solicitor-Gener The suggestion of Mr. Davis Presidential candidate, now being po with great force by the New Times," continues to attract favo attention, particularly among "oldDemocrats. THE PRESIDENT VETOES THE KNOX RESOLUTION foresaw an VER a year and a half ago The As almost everybody futlook of Outlook reported a Republican as saying of John William Davis, who had just been appointed American Ambassador at London: "He has force of character and great common sense, charm of manner and speech." .... the These few words succinctly sum up impression Mr. Davis makes even upon those who meet him only casually. The New York "Evening Post" contains a despatch from Mark Sullivan, from which we clip the following: One might paint a partial picture of week, the President has vetoed the t resolution which declared a sep peace with Germany. In sending in veto to the House of Representative President says: I cannot bring myself to become par to an action which would place ineffa able stain upon the gallantry, and hoty of the United States. pes The resolution seeks to establish with the German Empire without exa ing from the German Government a action by way of setting right thei finite wrongs which it did to the peopl |
