 "I am very glad to have at your hands this expression of confidence ir my efforts to do justice while l am in office, to the work upon which many of your members and I were engaged in one capacity or another, endeavoring to facilitate the greatest constructive work of modern times. 1 am especially gratified because you evince a liberal and impartial view in thus rendering ministration of the work in the istl,- mus I did not always decide in favor of your contentious. But wh en I de- cided contrary to the claim which w,is made by you I tried to give reasons which, I think by your action today, were convincing of my desire to reach . just conclusion.
 President Mckinley had the honor to be an honorary member of the Brick layers union. President Roosevelt has the honor of being an honorary mem Der of the Firemens union. With such examples that with the precedents in my own life In becoming an honorary member of number of useful organiZa- tions, l cannot see the slightest objection to my accepting this compliment at your hands, which l appreciate highly, and which I shall always cherish as one of the evidences that there are some men, who I have convinced through my off cial work of my desire to do the square thing for everybody
