PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ON
THE LABOR UNION
QUESTION.
Tonight the President Authorized
the Publication of a Letter
Which Was Sent to
Each Member of
His Cabinet on
July 22nd.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 0.-President
all departments of the government
service the principle he enunciated
at the time he re-instated William
A. Miller to the position in the gov
eminent printing Office from which
Miller had been dismissed because of
a disagreement with the bookbind-
ers' union. The President has plain
ly stated to the members of his Cab
met that that principle is to "indi-
cate the policy of the President" in
similar cases.
Tonight the President authorized
the publication of letter which was
sent to each member of his Cabinet
on the 22nd of July. The letter was
signed by Mr.. Barnes, acting secre-
tary to the President, and is as fol-
lows:
.'NIy Dear Sir:-s'The President
directs me to send you herewith, for
your information, copies of two let
tiers sent to Secretary Cortelyou with
reference to the government print
ing office, which define the attitude
of the administration in connection
with the subject discussed. They are
sent to you for your information and
guidance, as they indicate the policy
of the President in this matter"
The letters to Secretary Cortelyou
were written on July 13 and IA. The
salient sentence of the first letter
was:
"There is no objection to the en-
ployes of the government printing
office continuing themselves into a
union if they SO desire, but no rules
or resolution of that union can be
permitted to override the laws of the
United States, which it is my sworn
duty to enforce"
In the letter of the 18th, the Pres
ident quoted the finding of the an
thracite strike commission regarding
the employment of labor as follows:
cit is adjudged and awarded that
no person shall be refused employ
ment or in any way Disseminated
against on account of membership or
non-membership in any labor organ
ization and that there shall be no
discrimination against or interfer-
ference with any employe who is not
member of any labor organization
by members of such organization. -
Concerning this principle the Pres
ident wrote:
ssIt is of course, mere elementary
decency TO require that all the gov.
ernment department. shall be han
died in accordance with the princi
pie TINS clearly and fearlessly enun
ciated.'

against Marion druggists.
With the avowed purpose of forcing

ed a curtain raiser by ordering all the

here. He did not hand in all his petit

KANSAS WHEAT is GOOD.
Prospects for a Big Crop Were Never
Better.

Better.
Topeka, Kan, March 25.-Reports
from the Kansas wheat belt indicate
that when the farmers harvest this
years winter wheat crop that the state
will have one of the largest crops on
record Reports from twenty-five of
the thirty million bushel'' counties
in the great wheat belt show that the
crop came thru u most favorable winter
in excellent condition: that the ground
is in good condition and there is plenty
of moisture; that the fly has done no
damage and that the prospects are
favorable for a large yield.
The reports from the twenty five
counties can be taken as indicative of
the general conditions which prevail
over the state. There are counties
which did not get in the million bush
ell" class in the record breaking l1ar-
vest of 1901 when the thirty counties
in the Kansas wheat belt produced II,
4O6,076 bushels, or 70 per cent of the
total wheat yield of the state, which
are likely to score a yield of seven fl
cures this year which will place them
In the million bushel list. To the re-
cord of the years yield will be added
the spring wheat. In 1902 but 1928
acres were sown.
In most of the counties of the wheat
belt the acreage in 1908 will be greater
than the acreage sown in 1902 and as
the hard winter caused about million
acres of the 6,254,747 to be plowed

The Burlington and Santa Fe
Engaged In Struggle For
Government Patronage
SPEED AGREEMENT is BROKEN
The Santa Fe Officials Admit connec
tions at Kansas City Were Broken
With Express Purpose of Securing
Contract to Carry the Mail
in View.

| Kansas City, March 25.-The Chi
cage. Burlington & Quincy and the
| Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fee railroads
| are engaged in bitter struggle for the
government contract to carry the mails
between Chicago and Kansas City. The
struggle has come to IN open warfare,
(which has disturbed the passenger
service and involved three railroads in
a bad snarl.
The trouble became public here yes
terday, when notice was given by the
Santa Fe management hat beginning
next Sunday the California limited
instead of S35. and leave at $40 in
stead of 8 o'clock. This change will
cause both the Burlington and the AL
ton trains into Kansas City from the
east to miss Santa Fe connections for
the west. 1t will also necessitate the
lying over for more than two hours of
all mail brought in here by the Bur-
lington and Alton. 1. is understood
that the Santa FEES train for the south
west, known as the Oklahoma train,
will hereafter leave Kansas City at
S: 10 instead of $3.50, thereby missing all
eastern connections.
Santa Fe officials who passed thru
here yesterday admitted that these con-
nections We're broken with the express
view OF securing the mail contracts
which the Burlington now has, and the
officials of the latter road were charged
with sharp practice in the attempt to
retain the contract. Darlington men,
on the other hand, assert That the Santa
Fe will in the months to come regret
that it Inconvenience the public to Sc
cure the mails. If threats are carried
out both the Burlington and the Alton
will hereafter work in the interest of
the Rock Island connection for Cali
fornia and the southwest instead of for
the Santa Fee. In the meantime the
minimum time schedule agreed upon
between the roads last November,
which prevents less than fourteen
hours and forty-five minutes between
Chicago and Kansas City, is broken and
4 speed war may result.
Under present conditions the govern
n,ent will undoubtedly send it's mail
over the Santa Fe to prevent a lay-over
Of two hours here. 1t is not expected
that the Burlington will suffer the loss
OF the contract and not make reprisal
against the Santa Fe in some manner.

MILE A MINUTE ON WATER.
inventor Emerson Hopes to Gross
Ocean IN Two DAYS


Cincinnati, March 25.-The trial of
the Emerson launch that was built for
Commodore Edwards of the Royal Yacht
club in Canada, was failure here yes
terday. owing to the breaking of one
of the propellers. 1t was decided then
to take the launch to Detroit to make
mile minute ut some future day.
ITO cross the ocean in two days" Is
result the inventor expects to achieve
with the new method of propulsion.
The launch which is thirty feet long
is built much along the lines of all
launches of its size of today, but pos
sesses Ii newly developed motor that
has thirty horse propelling power and
weighs less than 600 pounds. a new
arrangement of valve action Is sup
Piled enabling the engine to make
1000 revolutions minute. Mr.. Elmer
son says he Will soon begin the con-
struction of a vessel which will be built
solely for speed and with which he ex-
poets to make Il mile minute. Such
he claims Is the construction of his en-
CINE that this can be maintained for
AN indefinite period. and Will permit
a vessel to cross the Atlantic In two
days. The engine, he says. can be fitted
upon steamers of any size, and. while
producing the height of speed, Will not
jar the vessel Gas generated from
easolene will be the motor power, and
the expense of operating a yacht cruis-
or when flied out with this new motor
will be one third that required today.
Several years ago Mr.. Emerson con-
structed q launch with which he made
forty-five miles an hour, and easily
ran away from all the English torpedo
boats that raced him. His new en-
CINE, however. he claims, is vastly su-
perior to that one, and will create
much greater rate of speed.
