models. First Of all, the shaping of the
sleeve is new aud the narrow tucks
that are stitched fiat add not n little to
the design. Then, too, the front Is
slightly double breasted, which at once
stamps the design with 'newness," as
these double breasted blouses are just
beginning to be worn. Still another
point in its favor is the unique yoke,
which may or may not be used, as one
prefers, as the front Is tucked and af-
fords a pretty blouse without the addi-
ton of the yoke. The design is ex-
tremely modish and may be as salts

ROOSEVELT DEFINES HIS POSITION.
President Declares He Will Not Tolerate
Injustice to Any Interest.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Late yes.
terday afternoon, after discussing with
q committee of representatives from
railway employees unions proposed
plans for the federal supervision of
rates, President Roosevelt issued q
formal statement of his stand in the
matter. The delegates came to protest
the proposed legislation, which they
said would have a tendency to cause,
ulttm ately, a reduction in wages.
Their interview with the president was
carried in these dispatches yesterday
afternoon. Later the president Issued
his statement, as follows:
~ trust I need hardly say that no
delegation will ever be more welcome
at the White House than such a dele.
cation as this. The interest of the
wage workers and the interests OF the
tiller of the soil must be peculiarly
close to all American public men,
among other reasons for the reason
that If they prosper all other classes
will prosper likewise, as a matter Of
course. AZ I said the other day to
the representatives of;organized labor
at Atlanta, l shall do everything in
my power for the laboring men, ex.
cept to do anything wrong: for the
man who will do anything wrong in
the nominal interest Of another man
will also do wrong against this same
other man, IL aver it becomes to his
own interests to do so.
II have said again and again that I
would not tolerate any injustice to q
railroad any nor than I would tole-
rate any injustice by "a railroad.
have said again and again that
would remove a public official who
improperly ~yielded.to a public clamor
against a railroad, no matter how
popular that clamor might be, just as
quickly as I would remove a public
official who had rendered an improper
service to the railroad at the expense
Of the public.
"But l am convinced that there mus
be an increased regulatory and super
visory power exercised by the govern
ment over the railroads. Indeed
would like it exercised to q much
greater extent than l have any idea o,
pressing At the moment. For instance,
I would gladly like to have it ex
ercised in the matter OF over.capitaliz
alton.
II am convinced that the 'wag,
fund would be larger If there was nj
fictitious capital upon which dividend
had to be paid. l need hardly 50,
