PLATFORM DRAFT

Anti Injunction Plank May
Cause Trouble
HARD TO PLEASE LABOR MEN
For This Reason New York Delegation
Members Oppose Making Fur.
Their Concessions.
HARD TO PLEASE LABOR MEN

Chicago, June 15.-There has been
no change In the draft of the plat.
form which has been approved by the
president and secretary OF war and
there will be no change before II is
submitted to the committee on reso-
lutions Of the convention, despite the
numerous reports TO the contrary
which are printed.
Wade Ellis spent the afternoon In
conference with Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor and with James Van Cleaye,
who leads the manufacturers organi.
cation, successfully. To Mr.. Com
pers he said that the 'anti.injunction
plank of the platform was as strong a
declaration as Secretary Taft and
other sound lawyers could indorse,
and that IL the labor leaders persisted
In their demands for the adoption OF
a more radical plank, they would
only effect the entire elimination OF
any plank OF that character To Mr.
Van Cleave he said that there was
nothing in the anti.injunction plank
which any fair minded man could OBJ
ject to. and that 1t would be the part
of wisdom II the conservatives would
desist from their opposition.
Notwithstanding these arguments
there Is reason TO fear that there will
be vigorous fight on the plank when
the resolutions committee meets
There are some members OF the New
York delegation. who are strongly op
posed to the anti-injunction plank ant
their opposition is shared by certain
Others who will be represented on the
committee by Senator Crane.
These men say now that 1t is i'm
possible to please the labor leaders
without departing absolutely from the
principles of the Republican party
That they are unwilling to do and
Secretary Taft is equally so. There
fore they ask why NEEDLE with the
question at all. There is nothing tC
be gained and nothing to lose by do
| ing so.

MANAGER CORBETT
GIVES RELEASE
TO HAZEL
Change in Makeup Of Local
Ball Team
CREATES HOT DISCUSSION
lyndonvllIe Slab Artist Was Popular
With the Public Played In
Four Games.

Pitcher Edward Hazel OF Lyndon
vile who has been with the Benning.
ton baseball team since the opening
OF the season, was released Saturday
evening. No pitcher who has played
for Bennington in recent years has
been such favorite with the atten-
dants at the game, whose good work
has created so much enthusiasm and
whose shortcomings were dealt with
so leniently as In the case OF Hazel.
He is modest. gentlemanly young
fellow, characteristics that added to
his popularity with the people who
were universally anxious that he
should make good and play out the
season. There is no questioning the
fact that he had every announcement
from the public. not any more than he
deserved, perhaps, but more than
would have been meted out in q ma
jority OF cases OF similar nature.
In releasing Hazel Manager Cor
belts position is that he is acting for
the interests OF baseball in Benning.
ton. Conceding that Hazel has not
played In lost game and that the
opposing teams have made but few
safe hit. Everyone who has been I'm
attendance at Morgan Park Saturday
afternoons realizes that the young pit
cher has on every occasion had a per.
iod when 1t was apparently impossible
for him to throw ball over the plate.
He has forced In runs In two out OF
three games. once filling the bases
with his own pitching errors. He had
his weak inning Saturday and all but
lost the game after II had been won
by the strongest team that Bennington
will be able to put In the field this
season.
No one regrets the necessity of max.
ing change more than Manager Cor.
bett. for he had taken a strong liking
10 the young fellow. but to the mana.
gers mind there was no other way out
The release of Hazel has been the
chief topic of conversation among the
baseball people today and Manager
Corbett has been getting his" from
all quarters and in assorted sizes. He
has insisted, nevertheless, that the
running Of baseball team is not a
question of sentiment, that the base
ball public OF Bennington is paying It's
money and is entitled to the best base
ball that the money will buy and that
In making change of pitchers he is
looking to that end.

from payment TO the state.
The failure of the Rutland railroad
to pay all of It's taxes is based upon a
different reason. That line accepts
the commissioners estimate Of It's
mileage and has paid tax of two
and one.half per cent on gross in
come OF $4,000 per mile. In doing this
It claims the right 10 pay two and one
half per cent on $4,000 per mile for q
period of six months with tax for
the other six months In a year based
upon the graduated increase OF one
fourth OF one per cent for each $500
per mile Of gross earnings above
$4,000. The difference then between
the commissioners view and the Rut-
land railroads view Is that the rail-
road insists upon basing its gross
earnings on half yearly periods while
the law provides for yearly periods.
The difference between the commits
|sioners' estimate OF taxes due from
the Rutland railroad and what that
railroad paid Is that between $63,S94.-
l6 and s54 ,40149 or s9.49267 which
the railroad refuses to pay. The to-
tai taxes due from both these railroads
as assessed by the tax commissioner,
who Is the sole authority for the pur-
pose, is $50. 1861.
As regards the suits that have been
brought by the state against these rail
roads. Mr. Cushman declares that they
were not primarily brought to secure
n construction of law by the courts
but to compel the payment OF taxes
due the state computed on the basis
accepted by all the other railroads In
the state.
II the withholding by these railroads
OF over $780, In legitimately assess
ed taxes does not constitute refusal
to pay taxes as stated originally by
the Prouty Bureau OF Publicity, then
what is It? II this somewhat extend
ed and possibly complicated explana-
ton of the railroad tax matter does
not amply justify any and all state
ments made by the above named bur
eaus on this subject, then nothing is
justified.
The second assertion named by the
Herald is considered by II as proven
untrue by its own assertion that a
railroad official helped to frame the
law. That any railroad official or any
railroad attorney had any part in
framing the railroad tax law is EN-
lphatically denied by Mr.. Cushman
who has personally informed the Prou-
lty Publicity Bureau that the work of
drafting that law was his own and that
In that work no man connected in any
way with railroad had any part
This refutes the Herald's second as
Isertion.-adv.
