Sir Thomas Unions Shon Row

Sir Thomas Upton has committed
many generous acts during his life,
about which he can never be induced to
talk. He is fond, however, of telling of
al incident which happened in his early
days, concerning an astute mother who
forced him to raise her sons wages be-
cause Sill Thomas had presented him
with Il brand new suit of clothes. Sir
Thomas started business with one as
sistant, Il boy of Il, who was willing
and honest. One day the lad was over
heard complaining that his clothes were
SO shabby that he was unable to 80 to
chapel. Mr.. Upton, as he then was,
was making every sacrifice to enlarge
his little shop, but he took Il sovereign
from his carefully boarded savings and
bought the boy Il suit of blue cloth The
next day the boy didn't come to work,
and Mr.. Upton, meeting his mother on
the street, asked her the reason. why,
Mr.. Upton" she said, curtseying, Jim

sir, that l thought | would send him

RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE PRESIDENT.

ASSOCIATION or combination within the
restriction of the federal law.
Immediate action 10 currency laws is
necessary. A greater elasticity in our
currency is needed. Provision should be
made for an emergency currency. The
emergency issue should be made with
an effective guaranty, and upon condi-
lions carefully prescribed by the gov
eminent. Such emergency issue must
be based on adequate securities approved
by the government, and must be issued
under heavy tax. This would permit
currency being issued when the demand
Tor 1t was urgent, while securing its re-
urement as the demand fell off. 1t is
worth investigating to determine whether
officers and directors of national banks
should ever be allowed to loan to them
selves. Trust companies should be sub
Ject to the same supervision as banks.
Nothing should be done with the tariff
this session in view of the coming presi-
Dental election. After the election Ger
tain schedules should be reduced.
Wnen the national tax system is re-
vlsed, provision should be made for an
income and Inheritance tax.
Abuse in issuing injunctions in labor
disputes must cease
National inspection of railroads, along
the lines Of steamboat inspection, should
be provided SO as to prevent numerous
wrecks.
Model employers liability act which
should apply to all employees of the gov
eminent, shoull be enacted. Law should
be such that payment of damages 10
injured workmen should be automatic
instead of being a matter of lawsuits.
Advocates extension of eight-hour leg
islation.
Recommends compulsory investigation
by the government of all industrial dis
putes.
Legislation regulating the employment
of women and children is needed.
Development Of our natural water
ways
Public land laws should be strength
ened to prevent fraud and to punish
| "gra bberS."
Natural resources must be protected.
Tariff on forest products should be re
moved, especially on wood pulp.
Recommends postal savings bank sys-
| tenn
Parcel post system should be extended.
Bureau of mines should be created.
! Advocates appropriation for each of

All donations from individuals should be
| limited and publicity should be given the

| Wants national art gallery.
! Effort should be made to build up our

TWENTY-FIVE DEAD
TAKEN FROM MINE.
Struggle with Renewed Energy Hoping
to Explore Balance of Entries
at FaYette City.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 3.-Twenty five
of the miners caught by an explosion of
fire damp Sunday night in the Naomi
mine of the United Coal company, located
near Fayette City, had been reached by
the rescuers this morning. Al, were dead
and charred almost beyond recognition.
The rescuers are now nearing the end
Of the workings and they have found no
sign of lie anywhere. In the opinion of
the owners of the mine few if any moIe
victims will be found, but among miners
and others in the village there is a firm
belief that the total number of victims
is between forty and fifty.
After finding eleven bodies near the
twenty-ninth entry shortly before mid
night, the rescuers went to work with re
newed energy to explore the remaining
seven entries. There are thirty-siX entries
in all, and until the last of these has
been searched, the full extent Of Che dis
aster will not be known. Because Of
the accumulation of gas, the work Of
rescue in the remote sections of the
mine is greatly impeded.
a second explosion is constant men
ace and every precaution is being taken
to avert such catastrophe.
Scores of frenZied women constantly
surround the pit mouth and the special
detail Of officers have much trouble III
keeping them from interfering with the
work of the rescuers.
The cause of the explosion has not yet
been ascertained. One theory is that it
resulted from the explosion of black
damp in an unused entry when miner
carrying an open lamp crossed the dead
line" Another is that a spark from the
trolly line over which cars are hauled
from the workings to the mouth of the
shaft ignited Il pocket of gas in the mine

Untllnching perseverance in war against
successful dishonesty.
There must be no halt in the course re-
garding interstate commerce which the
nation has elected to pursue. There
should be either a national incorporation
act or a law licensing interstate railway
companies. The interstate commerce
commission should be given power to
pass upon the future issues of railway
securities. Ample means should be pro-
vIded to enable the commission to make
physical valuation of railroads. Roads
should be allowed to enter into agree
ments.
There should be additional legislation
looking to the proper control of the great
business concerns engaged in interstate
business, this control to be exercised for
their own benefit and prosperity no less
than for the protection of investors and
of the general public. Business combina
tons are necessary and it is as idle to
desire to put an end to all corporations,
to all big combinations of capital, as
to desire to put an end to combinations
Of labor. 1t is profoundly immoral to
put or keep on the statute books a law,
nominally in the interest of public mo-
rallty, that really puts Il premium upon
public immortality, by undertaking to for
bid honest men from doing what must
be done under modern business cOndi-
tons, so that the law itself provides that
its own infraction must be the condition
precedent upon business success.
The antitrust law should be made more
efficient and more in harmony with act
ual conditions. 1t should be so amended
as to forbid only the kind of combination
which does harm to the general public,
such amendment TO be accompanied by,
or to be an incident Of, grant Of sup
ervisOry power to the government over
these big concerns engaged in interstate
| business. This should be accompanied
| by provision for the compulsory publica-
! ton of accounts and the subsection of
| books and papers to the inspection of the
government officials.
| The antitrust law should not prohibit
| combinations that do no injustice to the
public still less those the existence of
! which is on the whole of benefit to the
| public A combination should not be
| tolerated if it abuse the power acquired
! by combination to the public detrlment.
| No corporation or association of any
| kind should be permitted to engage in
| foreign or interstate commerce that is
formed for the purpose of, or whose
| operations create, q monopoly or general
| control of the production, sale, or dis
tributiOn of any one or more of the prime
necessities of life or articles of general
use and necessity.
Congress has the power to charter cor
porations to engage III interstate and for
eign commerce, and a general law can
be enacted under the provisions of which
existing corporations could take out fed
eral charters and new federal corpora

Government to Pay

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 3.-[Spe-

regarding campaign expenses for
presidential elections. He says:
Under our form of government voting
I is not merely a right but a duty, and,
moreover, fundamental and necessary
I duty IL a man is to be a good citizen.
1t Is well to provide that corporations
} shall not contribute to presidential or
national campaigns, and furthermore to
) provide for the publication of both con
( trlbutions and expenditures. There is,
) however, always danger of laws of this
} kind, which from their very nature are
difficult of enforcement; the danger be-
} ing lest they be obeyed only by the
{ honest, and disobeyed by the I'M
) scrupuIous, so as TO act only as a pen
atty upon honest men Moreover, no
such law would hamper an INSCRIPTIONS
man of unlimited means from buying
his own way into office. There is a very
} radca! measure which would, | believe,
work a substantial improvement in our
system Of conducting a campaign, al
( though | am well aware that it will take
some time for people so to familiarize
I themselves with such a proposal as to
be willing to consider its adoption. The
need for collecting large campaign funds
would vanish If Congress provided an
} appropriation for the proper and legiti-
( mate expenses of each of the great ma
) tional parties, an appropriation arple
I enough to meet the necessity for
{ thorough organization and machinery,
I which requires large expenditure of
money. Then the stipulation should be
made that no party receiving campaign
funds from the treasury should accept
) more than a fixed amount from any in
I dividual subscriber or donor; and the
necessary publicity for receipts and ex-
penditures could without difficulty be
