MIR. GOMPERS
MAKES REPLY
Wants to Know What Caused
the President to Suddenly
Change His Attitude
ATTACKSINJUNCTIONACTION

WASHINGTON, OCT. 2s-In response
to a letter from p. II. Grace. of Bing-
harnton, n. Y, a member of the
brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, in
quiring about Mr.. Tafts record in re-
spect to injunctions and labor matters
in general, President Roosevelt has
written to Mr.. Grace, reviewing Mr..
Taft's attitude toward labor. The let
ter, made public, says in part.
Il do not believe the wage workers Of
this country have ever had better
friend in ~the White House than Mr..
Taft will prove to be. He has already
shown his faith by his deeds. In the
matter of the injunctions he issued he
was absolutely right, and the princi-
piles he laid down in those injunctions
have since then been accepted by every
Eorthy leader Of labor, and they are en-
bodied in the principles and practices
of all the railroad brotherhoods at the
present day. The abuses of injunction
have been fearlessly exposed and at
hacked by Mr. Taft. He recognizes. as
an my judgment all fair-minded men
must recognize, that again and again
in the past the process has been used
70 the detriment Of wage workers by
certain judges. He is doing and will
continue to do everything that can be
done to do away with these abuses. He
will not make vague promises impossi-
BILE of fulfilment. He viii actually and
in good faith try to secure action. Let
me give you an example Of what he
has just done
Case of Iron Moulders' Union.
"A year or so ago the editor Of the
paper specially devoted to the Iron
1doulders' Union called upon me to say
khat a decree had been entered in the
United States Circuit Court at Mil
waulee ia the summer Of 1906 which
he regarded as grossly unjust and inn
proper and as practically fatal TO trades
Onionism. The case was that of the
iron Moulders' Union against the Allis-
Chalmers Company. of Milwaukee. The
members Of the union. having made
certain demands for the betterment Of
their conditions Of service. which were
refused. went on strike, and an in
junction suit followed in the United
States Circuit Court
so sweeping were the terms Of this
injunction that It practically forbadethe
union from making any effort, no mat
ter how peaceful and proper 70 main
tain its position in this trade dispute
The editor OF the Iron Moulders' Jour
nal, Mr.. ]. P. Fry, brought the case
before me, stating that the union did
aot know what to do; that its funds
were limited; that he felt that they
were suffering from a gross injustice
which they were powerless TO remedy
] called in Mr. Taft and asked Mr.. Fry
20 lay the case before him, as Of course
Mr.. Taft was far more competent thar
was to express his judgment as &c
the legality and propriety of the actor
taken.
"N1r. Taft satisfied himself OF the
racts and at once became exceedingly
Indignant at such an injunction having
ISSUED. He stated that in his opin.
fon the position taken by the court II
Issuing the Injunction was clearly un.
tenable. and that what was needed wa!
THAT the union should get some first.
