Washington, Sept. 30.-An important
conference took place at the white house
Tuesday night between President Roose-
welt and five members of the executive
council Of the American Federation o.
Labor, including President Gompers and
Mr.. Mitchell, head of the miners union
during which the case Of Foreman VISA !.
Miller Of the government printing Of
fee, was dismissed because he had
been expelled from fhe local bookblnd-
ers' union and afterwards was reinstated
by direction of the president, was the
principal topic of discussion. The con-
ference was granted at the request OF
the labor leaders. The statement OF
President Roosevelt is as follows:
Cannot Discriminate.
81 thank you and your committee for
your courtesy, and I appreciate the op-
portunity to meet with you. 1t Will al
ways be a pleasure to see you or any rep
resentatives of your organization OF OF
your federation as a whole. AS regards
the Miller case I have little to add to
what l have already said. In dealing
with it l ask you to remember n l am
dealing purely with the relation OF the
government to it's employees. | must
govern my action by the laws Of the land
which l I'M sworn to administer, n
which d~ifferentiate any case in which
the government of the United States is
a party from all other cases whatsoever.
These laws are enacted for the benefit
of the whole people, and cannot and must
not be construed as permitting discrim-
ination against some of the people.
Must BE Just to All.
81 am president of all the people of
the United States, without regard to
creed, color, birthplace, occupation or
social conditions. My aim is to do equal
and exact justice as among them all. In
the employment and dismissal of men in
the government service can nc more
recognize the fact that a man does or
does not belong to a union as being
for or against him than l can recognize
the fact that he is a Protestant or a
Catholic, a Jew OF a Gentle, as being
for or against him.
Decision Is Final.
"In the communications sent me by
labor organizations, protest
ing against the retention Of Miller in
the government printing Office, the
grounds alleged are twofold: 1. That
is a nonunion man; 2. That he is
not personally fit. The question of his
personal fitness is one to be settled in
the routine Of administration detail, and
cannot be allowed to conflict with or to
complicate the larger question of gov
discrimination for or against
him or any. other nan because he is or
is not a member of a union. This is the
only question now before me for deci-
sion; and as to this my decision is

it is believed, has been engaged in
desecrating the graves in Greenlawn
Cemetery and robbing the newly-inter-

and clothing. From discoveries made
it is evident that this practice has been
carried on, but to what extent is not
at this time known. Two bodies that
were exhumed for the purpose of re-

be in a completely nude condition, not
withstanding the fact that both bodies
had been buried in handsome and cost
