Tuesday night between President Roose-
velt and hve members Of the executive
council Of the American Federation OF
Labor, including President Gompers and
Mr.. Mitchell, head of the miners union,
during which the case o. Foreman ~. A.
Miller, Of. the government printing Of
flee, was dismissed because he had
been expelled from the local bookbind-
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 o.
President Roosevelt is as follows:
Cannot Disciminate.
81 thank you and your committee for
your courtesy, and appreciate the OPP
portunity to meet with you. It will al
ways be a pleasure to see you or any rep
resentatiyes of your organization Or o.
your federation as a whole. AS regards
the Miller case have little to add to
what have already said. In dealing
with it l ask you to remember that am
dealing purely with the relation OF the
government to It's employees. / must
govern my action by the laws Of the land
which I am sworn to administer. and
which differentiate any case in which
the government Of the United States Is
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-
inatton 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 amongthem all. In
the employment and dismissal Of men in
the government service I can no more
recognize the fact that a man does or
does not belong to a union as being
for or against him than can recognize
the fact that he is Protestant or q
Catholic, a Jew OF a. Gentle, as being
for or against him.
Decision IL Final.
In the communications sent me by
various labor organizations, protest.
ing against the retention Of Miller in
the government printing Office, the
grounds alleged are twofold: IL. That
he is q nonunion man; 2. That he Ii
not personally At. The question Of his
personal fitness is one to be settled in
the routine Of administration detail, and
cannot be allowed to conflict with orsto
complicate the larger question Of gov
ernmental discrimination for or against
him or any other man because he is or
ia not a member Of a union This Is the
only question now before me for: deci-
sion; and as to this my decision is
final" VI; J.
Other Matters Discussed.
The committee also brought to the at
tention Ct the president several matters
Of legislation in which it is interested.
Among these were the enforcement Of
the eight-hour and the antiinjunction
bills which passed the house Of repre-
sentatives at the last session Of con-
gress. The president. Mr.. Gompers
said, expressed himself as favorable to
the principles Of the short-hour work
day and his deep concern for the inter-
est of the wage earners of the country.

A SIMPLE QUESTION.
Montpelier People Are Requested TO
Honestly Answer This.

Is not the word of a representative
citizen of Montpelier more convincing
than the doubtful utterances of people
living everywhere else in the Union?
Read this
Frank Nelson, machinist, Worcester
Branch, four miles from Montpelier,
says; my occupation necessitates
considerable heavy lifting causing
more or less of strain on the muscles
of the back. ror three or four years
1 knew from the aching across the
loins that my kidneys were affected
and it did not require the dead heavy
aching feeling at the close of a days
work to tell me that they were either
weakened or overeXcited Sometimes
the pain was so acute at night that it
prevented sound refreshing sleep and l
arose in the morning poorly prepared
to tackle the next days work. Added
to this, always sure sign of some
disturbed action of the kidneys, there
was an annoying weakness of the kid
ney secretions. A friend advised me
to go to w. E. Poole's drug store for
Doan's Kidney Pills and take a course
of the treatment. l did so and used
two boxes. The last tackJpositively
ceased.
