DECIDES a WAGE ISSUE
Matter Of the Price to Be Paid for Work
In the Government Armory at
Springfield, Mass.


Washington, June 2a-Secretary
Taft has issued an order for the res
tOration of the scale of wages at the
government armory at Springfield.
Mass, that prevailed before the man.
ufacture Of the new model of the
army rifle was commenced. The presi-
dent of the International Association
of Allied Metal Mechanics protested to
the president against the scale OF
wages for piece work on the new army
rifle at the Springfield armory as re-
vised by Colonel Phipps, the comman-
dant.
General Crozier, chief of ordnance,
investigated the matter and explained
that the rule was to pay the same
wages as obtained in the vicinity for
work of like character, and that this
rule had not been violated. The
president directed that no permanent
scale of piece work prices be adopted
until after further experience shall be
wages paid should be based upon ex-
.5erience in the East.

to order the Republican national con-

BLACK NAMES THE LEADER

Says the Battle is Won BEFORE the Con-
tending Armies Engage.
The applause was continued for
some time as Black stood at the
front of the platform, and when quiet
was restored he said in part:
MIR. President and Gentlemen of the
Conventions: We are here to inaugur-
ate a campaign which seems already
TO be nearly closed. So wisely have
the people sowed and watched and
tended there seems little DOW to do
but to measure up the grain. They
are ranging themselves not for battle
but for harvest. In one column reach
ing from the Maine woods to the Puget
sound are those people and those
states which have stood SO long to-
gether that when great emergencies
arise the nation turns instinctively to
them. In this column, vast and solid,
is majority so overwhelming that the
scattered squads in opposition eau
hardly raise another army. The enemy
has neither guns nor ammunition, and
If they had they would use them on
each other.
The speaker then said that Demo-
cratic zeal was. chiefly centered in
what Jefferson would do if living, and
then proceeded:
1T is a sad day for any party when
its only means Of solving living issues
Is by guessing at the possible attitude
of statesman who is dead. This con-
dition leaves that party always a be-
ginner and makes every question new
The Democratic party has seldom tried
a problem on its own account, and
when 1t has its blunders have been
its only monuments, its courage is re-
membered only in regret. As long as
these things are recalled that party
may serve as ballast, but it will never
steer the ship. There is one funda-
mental plank, however, on which the
two great parties are in full agree
ment. Both believe in the equality of
men. The difference Is that the Dem
ocratic party would make every man
as low as the poorest, while the Repub-
lican party would make every man as
high as the best.
"Rut not alone upon the principles Of
the Republican. party are its members
In accord. With the same devotion
which has marked their adherence to
those principles magnificent and en-
during as they are, they have already
singled out the man to bear their
standard and lead the way. He Is no
stranger waiting in the shade to be
called suddenly into public light. The
American people have seen him for
many years and always where the
fight was thickest and the greatest
need was felt He has been alike con-
spicuous in the pursuits of peace ana
In the ardu0us stress Of war. His
qualities do not need to be retoId, for
no man in that exalted place since Lin
coin has been better known in every
household In the land. He is not con-
sentative. II conservatism means wait.

CLOSING SCENES AT THE COLISEUM
Twenty Minutes of Enth usiasm Historic
Flag Is Waved.


Flag Is Waved.
Chicago, June 24-There was TWEEN
ty minutes of enthusiasm yesterday in
the national Republican convention
when the vote for Roosevelt for presi-
dent was announced. 1t was proposed
when roll call was ordered that the
secretary cast the whole vote Of the
convention for Roosevelt. But this was
strenuously objected to, as each state
desired to record its vote, and the roll
call proceeded. Sometimes the an
nouncement of the state chairman
was simply the vote; at other times q
pithy statement would be added that
brought applause.
When Cannon announced the total
vote-994 for Roosevelt-was when
pandemonium broke loose, and con-
tinued for twenty minutes The band
stationed high among the Orders OF
the hall was drowned by the tumultu,
Gus demonstration. Hats were tossed
in the air, state emblems were waved
and fiags-beautiful tri-colored shim-
mering silken flags fiuttered from
every hand as though stirred by a
gale. While the demonstration was
at its height Chairman Cannon stepped
to the front of the stage. He held in
his hand the banner which was waved
in 1866 when Lincoln was nominated,
and which has been used in every con-
vention since. The flag showed the
wear and tear of many similar con-
tests. Uncle Joe" waved it vigorous
~ and kept time with bis body.
Soon the whole convention was
swaying in exact measure. The chair
man tired, and his place was taken
by a young man who gras2ed the
nag stan firmly in one hand and with
a megaphone led the yelling. He start
ed the call Roosevelt, Roosevelt,
Roosevelt repeated over ard over
again with the system of college
yell. 1t was taken up by the throng
and the cry of Roosevelt rolled over
the hall in volume so great and so
terrific that the screening of hun
dreE steam whistles would have been
dwarfed in comparison. "A little col
ored boy from Georgia and later
pretty little girl. dressed in a dainty
frock of white were lifted to the plat
