President Makes Reply.

In response, President Roosevelt assured the delegation that it was not his pur- pose or the purpose of those who favored railroad rate regulation to do anything that might injure the railroads of the country or incidentally the employees of the railroads. He said that 1t was his purpose that classes-railroads, shippers and employes-should have perfectly fair treatment. He was of the opinion that the proposed legislation would not mean reduction necessarily in railroad rates and suggested that the members of the delegation therefore were proceeding on a wrong understanding of the situation.

 Welcomes the Delegation.

Welcomes the Delegation.
 President Roosevelt in his address, said: %
 "Gentlemen--In the first place, trust need hardly say that no delegation VIII ever be more welcome at the White House than such a delegation as this. As said the other day to the representa- tives of organized labor at Atlanta, l shall do everything in my power Tor the laboring men, except to do anything wrong; for the man who will do anything wrong in the legal interest of another man, will also do wrong against this same other man if ever it becomes to his own interest to do so.
 "Remember always that every man of you must in some shape or other, have his passions and appetites governed, and the less of that government there is from within the more there will have to be from without. With most of the general statements that you make I agree, but 1 am not sure that l agree with your appl- cation of them. There has been compara- lively little complaint to me of the rail- road rates being as a whole too high. The most serious complaint that has been made to me has been of improper discrim- nation in railroad rates For instance in two recent cases affecting great corpor- ationS, the complaints that have been made to me have been that they are too low as regards certain big shippers the complaint in both these cases is about the differential. the difference of treat ment of two sets of users of the railways, the difference in favor of one set of ship pers as against another set of shippers. Whether this is just or not, l am not prepared to say.
 Will Not Tolerate Injustice.
 If you will look at my Raleigh speech and my other recent utterances you will see my principles clearly set forth. I have said again and again that l would not tolerate for one moment any injus- tice to a railroad any more than I would tolerate any injustice by railroad. I have said again and again that I would remove a public official who improperly yielded to any public clamor against a railroad, no matter how popular that clamor might be just as quickly as I would remove a public official who rem dered an improper service to the railroad at the expense of the public. But l am convinced that there must be an increas ed regulatory and supervisory power ex- ercised by the government over the rail- roads Indeed. I would like to exercise 1t to a much greater extent than I have any idea of pressing at the moment. For instance, I would greatly like to have it exercised in the matter of over-capital- ization. I am convinced that the wage fund would be larger If there was no fictitious capital on which dividends had to be paid. I need hardly say that this does not mean hostility to wealth. II you gentlemen here in whom I believe so strongly were all unit in demanding that some improper action should be taken against certain men of wealth, then no matter whether I did or did not like those same men Of wealth, l would defend them against you, no matter how much I cared for you and in so doing I would really be acting in your own inter
