IPLEAsES TEDDY
EDITOR OF LABOR WORLD HAS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
Says He Has Been Trying to Drive
Wedge Between Good and Law
Abiding Citizens n Anarchist
and Also Between Good and Bad
capltalist-Pringte on Haywood.

Pittsburg. Pa, May 1O.-John D.
Pringe, editor OF the Labor World Of
Pittsburg, has received the following
letter from President Roosevelt in &C.
acknowledgement of an editorial recently
published in his paper in connection
with the Moyer-Haywood controversy:
Presidents Letter.
The White House, Washington, May
Il. 19O7.-My Dear Pringle: Nothing
that has been spoken or written that l
have seen of the Moyer-Haywood con-
troversy has pleased me so much as
your letter and editorial. In my let
ter l wished to drive a wedge in be-
tween the honest, law-abiding man
with whom 1 feel such hearty sympa-
thy, and those worst foes Of the move
ment who preach anarchy and lawless
violence, just as l wish to see a wedge
driven between the capitalist who Is
an oppressor or swindler and the cap
italist who strives to do right by all
his fellows-the man who is an Ameri.
can citizen first and a capitalist second.
Above all 1 want to express my abso-
lutte agreement with your final para
graph, running as follows:
Quotation from PringIe's Letter.
THE Labor World has not a word
to utter regarding the guilt or inno-
cense of Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone in their present terrible position.
We hope they-are innocent and will be
proved to be 50, but what we want to
point out is that their innocence OF
the preferred charge against them will
not In our estimation e~xonerate them
from the charge of preaching an in
dustrial and social policy that is dam
ming to the best interests of the wage
workers of the country"
With all good wishes, believe me sin
ceerly yours. (Signed)
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

HOURS OF TRAIN CREWS.
Criticism of the La Toilette Bill in
the Senate.

Criticism was made in the Senate yester-
day afternoon of the La Toilette bill linn
iting the hours Of continuous employment
of railway train crews, and several letters
from railway employees in opposition to the
measure were put in the record
The discussion was opened by Senator
Gallinger, who first resented a published
criticism that he was endeavoring to weak
en- the measure by amendment He said
Senator La Toilette came to him and ask
ed if he was to speak on the bill. His reply
was that he expected to offer amendments
to it. His amendments permitted the SIX
teen hours of continuous service to be ex-
ceeded in certain cases of short runs or
round trips. Mir. Warren followed with
amendments to the same effect, and stated
there was opposition to the bill in his state.
Mr. McCumber saw little necessity for the
measure, especially in his state.
Mr.. Patterson made the point that as
drawn the bill did not accomplish what was
intended by it. He maintained that under
it's language a train crew might work any
number of hours short of sixteen. rest an
hour and again go into service Mr.. Hey
burn offered an amendment to the provision
directing state courts to take cognzance of
violations of the proposed law saying Con-
greSS had no right to impose duties on
state courts.
Mr.. Bacon questioned Mr.. La Toilette
as to whether the measure was Ito apply
to railways doing interstate commerce or
only to trains doing interstate commerce.
The reply was that it applied to common
carriers engaged in interstate commerce.
This Mr. Bacon asserted was a tremendous
stride in the direction of usurpaton of fed
eral control the business affairs of the
country.
The bill was then laid aside for future
consideration.

AIRING ASYLUM HORRORS
Sudden Deaths and Murder in Penn
sylvania Institution.

DANNlLLE, Pa, January 9.-Beneath the
shroud of mystery that habitually hoyers
over the bleak, gloomy walls of the State
Asylum for the Insane at Danville, the leg
1slative lunacy commission has uncovered
the tact that within the past year two pa
dents came to sudden deaths while in the
keeping of the guards
The news Of the two deaths had been yir-
tually suppressed. In each case a quiet in
quest was held by the coroner of the county
A verdict of accidental death was given
each Tune. The guards, in whose keeping
the patients had been entrusted, were not
tried IN court. Two of them We're dis
charged Two still remain in the institu-
ton.
Moreover, the desolate and forbiddins hos
ptal was made to give forth another story
the facts in which have heretofore heen
kept quiet.
In the dark, shadowing corridor OF the
institution, where there seems to have been
a lack or discipline and precaution, one of
the resident doctors was done to death nv
one OF the patients. The Supe, intendent of
the hospital DR.. Hugh B. Meredith swore
before the commission that he and his as
slstants exercised close watch over all tho
inmates, and yet this one found an oppor
tunlty to fashion knife from an Gazing
utensil and stabbed the resident doctor to
the heart.
Arrests may be made by the leeis1ativ.
commission at any moment The scandals
that came out OF the institution were of
such character that every member of
the commission, including the chairman ay
Speaker Henry F.. Walton were Of tho
opinion that action should be taken without
delay.
