The Secretary chose his words with an
evident realization OF the responsibilities
Of his position and OF the weight that
would be attached TO his every thought
on the tremendously important questions
Of the hour. The result was altogether
reassuring, his deliverance conservative IN
tone. and II il shall prove-as II can
hardly be doubted IS the case-that he
spoke for the President. as well as for
himself, and that the policy which he
expounded and outlined is that which

vigorous and temperate, and regarded as
a restatement Of Mr. RoOsevelt's views.

Mr. Taft's aim is that Of the rational
statesman-to improve without violence
and 10 readiust without destroying This
aim he exhibits. too. in what he has to
say about tariff revision. He believes in
the efficacy Of the protection principle.
But he declares. as the Tribune has re-
peatedly declared. that the Dingley tariff
act has outiived the conditions which
gave It birth and that common sense re-
quires a revision which viii bring the
schedules into better accord with new
conditions in commerce and industry.

have said. frank and uneQUivOCal. II is

THE GRAFT
SERVICE
Of the Joy Detective Agency Ex-
posed by Circular Issued
By Them.

Encouraged doubtless by the
success of the Manufacturers In
formation Bureau and the COrpOr-
ations' Auxiliary in grating on
the business element of the country,
the Joy Detective Service, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, has been sending out
confidential circular letters III
which a strong bid is made for
patronage.
The frank, blooded manner
in which this JOY bunch ofgrafters
talk about furnishing thugs, spies
and scabs to smash strikes and dis
gust organizations is somewhat as
tonishing. There is probably no
country in the world-not even
Russia-in which such brazenness
would be tolerated by public opin-
ion as is revealed by the greedy
vultures who operate these spying
agencies and rat incubators.
When reading such appeals for
dirty business as follows one Is
comp lied to marvel and wonder
how much lower human beings can
sink. The world has always cursed
a Judas, but it appears that the
thug agencies and their patrons are
preparing to sanctify the treason OF
Judas and place halo of glory
upon the head of every degenerate

Arrangement are being COM

Grafton of Labor and the national
trade unions of England, Scotland,
Germany, Denmark, Austria, Bel
GUM, Norway, Netherlands, and
other foreign countries, to inter

of kindred crafts and callings. In
addition to this world wide move
ment between the organized wage
workers of the world, the Ameri-
can Federation Of esLabor and the
American Society of Equity (the
farmers unions of the United
States) have formed an alliance.

he walked down to the Jail portion
of the building, shaking hands as
he went with gaurds, employees
and friends who had arrived on
the scene. He bade farewell to
Meyer and Pettibone, and walked
to st. Luke's Hospital and unan-
nounced rushed into his mothers
room, so great was the effect upon
the elder lady that tonight she was
up and about and happy. Next
Haywood went to the little cottage
where his wife and little daughters
have been stopping. He had part
ed with Attorney Nugcnt at the
hospital gate, and left alone in
Boise, got all but lost and had to
inquire his way.
Once home, Haywood said:
'E1 want to thank the people Of
Boise for their kindness to my
wife, mother, my family and my
friends"
He was flooded with kilograms
of congratulation from all over the
country, from all classes of in
dividuals and organizations.
Haywood and his family will
leave Boise today for their home
in Denver.

walked into a convention of Wyom-

were Pinkerton detective and were
making reports to that agency for
more than year. The two

and admitted their perfdy. There

THE GLAD TIDINGS
CAUSE REJOICING
In the Capital City Among the Trades
Unionists and Citizens in
General.

There was great rejoicing among
the union men of Charleston and
vicinity Sunday when the news of
Haywood's acquittal was learned,
and everyone you met wore broad
smile. 1t not only pleased the
working classes but the citizens in
general who expressed themselves
as thoroughly satisfied with the
verdict.
Praise is heard on all sides for
Clarence Darrow who SO ably de-
Tended Haywood and it is pre-
dicted by many that he will be
labor's choice for President should
they ever place a national labor
ticket in the field. Mr. Darrow
has always been a staunch union
man and has made many eloquent
speeches for the cause and CON
trlbuted an unlimited number of
articles to trade and other papers
and magazines on the labor ques-
ton.

of handling labor troubles, either
existing or contemplated.
We break strikes in all parts of
the United States and Canada, and
are prepared to submit list of
references from manufacturers and
others who have employed us dur

We have in our employ cX-
perienced guards for the protection
of life and property during strikes
and lockouts. These men are all
over six feet in height, and selected
for their ability to handle this class
of work. All have seen strike
service, many hold state and city
police commissions, and should
not be confounded with guards
furnished by our imitators and re-
cruitcd from slums of the cities.
We furnish secret operatives of
all trades, UNION or NON -UN-

tory, store, etc, for the purpose
of securing inside information.

In handling strikes we take en-

Men employed by us will be
taken to affected plant by our
guards and safely delivered and
strikers not permitted to modest

We have found from experience
that strikes are broken quickest
where new men are boarded inside

we are prepared to fit up and main
