HOPES FOR SETTLEMENT.
But DepIores What He Calls Dilatory
Tactics on Part of Manufacturers,

In the Granite Cutters Journal pub
lished today, Secretary Duncan Of the
Granite Cutters international Union,
and editor Of the paper, too, gives this
version Of the conference for settlement
OF labor conditions In Various centerss
1T is true that employers committee
have more promptly met our commit
tees, to discuss the questions Of new
settlement this season than ever before
This il principally due to the recommen-
daticu in tine Making for Peace" reso-
buttons, that joint conferences should be.
gin within few days after the official
notice of change from either party has
been given. We appreciate the merit
OF the change This does not mean,
however, that much more Roadway has
been made in some Of the most import
ant plans. for while conferences have
been neld earlier than usual in quite a
number OF instances employers commit
tees, evidently By tacit understanding,
have little to say on the subject proper,
and satisfy themselves BY wasting time
unless when a chance Is given them to
vote they cast negative vote to the
propositions our committees make. This
IL not as ii should be. When men meet
ia conference each side should concede
that the other side has important in
terests at stake, that each side is imbued
with honesty Of purpose and that all
the virtues does not exist on any one
side. we are in hopes that III our March
Journal secretaries will be able to re,
port rational settlements along lines
mutually arranged, at suitable time
prior to the date Of change, consistent
with fair settlements. There il no rea-
son why this cannot be done. for when
employers do not anticipate or foresee
suspension they will neitaer cause
stagnation in our tradt nor by the means
of diverting work from its natural or
customary trend Peace al any price Is
not advisable nor il II peace at all in
the fullst and best sense Of That word;
bus peace with honor to both parties,
and set forth ii an honest, mutually ar
ranged trade agreement, viii make for
tae betterment Of any trade, more es-
pecially this work Of ours"

CLAIM THAT TAFT
HAS ROUTED EN-
His Enemies in The National Committee
Long Conference Held By Roose-
welt and Hitchcock

Washington, d. O.. Feb. President
Roosevelt and f. II Hitchcock conferred
al length yesterday over the efforts Of
the opponents Of Secretary Taft to con-
troll the national committee. AZ the re-
suit OF this conference ami OF careful
canvass Of the committee made lately
hy friends Of the secretary, IL can be
said that the control of the committee
is believed now to rest in the hands Of
Iaft's friends Despite the strenuous
efforts Of the opposition to hold the
committee, It appears to have got away
from them, and II Is understood that
the President is convinced this is the
case
the importance OF such control il Oh.
yiously matter Of great moment. The
anti-Iaft forces have been playing
desperate game for weeks with the OBJ
iect Of getting q long list OF contcsting
delegations from the south and seating
them in the convention by sneer force
Of having control OF majority Of the
national committee. Senator Foraker Is
even talking Of sending contesting
delegation from Ohio, hoping to get the
committee TO seat Il.
Were the committee hostile to Taft
and willing to adopt high-handed meas
ures. it could, Of course, keep Taft from
being named but with committee ac-
tualiy for Taft, or even one that will
treat all contests fairly. his friends con-
slider his nomination is a certainty.
As Things stand now, the plans Of the
allies" cannot be eonsummated without
being able 20 handle the committee. II
may be anticipated that if ii should
soon develop that the allies have been
defeated in their efforts to control this
body, some Of the proposed contests
III different states win be abandoned.
