Theodore Roosevelt, who is inclined

wrote the charge that he was when
he denied that Hartman campaign

ago that Uncle Sam paid that $4O,-
100000 of canal money directly to the
French government.
1t is quite clear, however, to any
man who kept III touch with the re-
cent American Federation of Labor
campaign that it left its impress upon
the powers that be. President Roose-
welt himself in the message under dis
cussion has said some pretty harsh
things about the courts, and he has
also pointed out few-not the great
est-evils of the injunction as now
used. But ne seems to wilfully mis-
understand organized labor's position

labor is not demanding the abolition

to the truth.
Incidentally it might be remarked
that that portion of the message deal
ing with labor problems is longer than
any single one of Abraham Lincoln's
annual messages to congress. This
is an indication that organized labor
has compelled more than the usual
amount of attention.

ROOSEVELT AND THE INJUNCTION

ROOSEVELT AND THE INJUNCTION
In his last message-his last annual
message-President Roosevelt devotes
considerable space to the discussion
CT labor topics. We call especial at
tention to this fact. Those who pro-
fess to believe that the campaign of
the American Federation of Labor
was a ''fiasco" are invited to take
note of the very especial interest
manifested in labor by all parties now.
The editor of The Wageworker has,
by reason of his newspaper connec-
tons, been compelled to read closely
every presidential message for the
past twenty years, and within his
recollection not one of them has de-
voted as much space to the considera-
ton of questions relating particularly
to labor as this latest-and last-one
of Theodore Roosevelt's.
The president recommends some
form of industrial insurance, but not
Icing conversant with details only
alludes to it in general way. In
dustrial insurance is really press
ing question that must soon be de.
| cided, and the presidential recon.
mendation is worthy of consideration
by congress.
In discussing those labor questions
that entered into the last campaign
President Roosevelt is neither honest
with himself nor frank with the pub
lie. He says:
"At the last election certain leaders
OF organized labor made a violent and
sweeping attack upon the entire
judiciary of the country, an attack
couched in such terms as to include
the most upright, honest ana broad.
minded judges, no less than those OF
narrower mind and more restricted
outlook"

tation The Wageworker has as a
household necessity and exemplar OF

resorting to Rooseveltian language in
denouncing the untruthfulness of the

respect, and pay the deepest homage
to the Office of president of the United

it is strain upon us to feel a very
high respect for the gentleman who
occupies the position. When he Sc
