A SQUARE STATEMENT.

Buffalo, ~ Y, Nov. Judge Taft
caused this statement to be issued here
tonight as coming from him:
1T was brought to Mr.. Taft'S at
tention today that number of labor
leaders who have no sympathy with
Mr.. Gompers in his attempt to commit
the entire vote of Labor to the Demo-
cratic party were nevertheless in great
and Mr.. Gompors. which now seems
certain, would lead to reprisals on the
part of the new administration under
Mr.. Taft and to a refusal on his part
to continue the good work for Labor
which had been done by MIR. Roosevelt
and at his instance by Republican
Congress. In a statement tonight Mr..
Taft said:
II have been honored by Mr.. Roose-
Welt in the last four years by being
called in to assist as an advisor in
respect to all the executive and legis-
lative measures in his administrati ton
in the interest of labor, and I have
had very deep sympathy with all
that has been done. There are other
measures in the interest of labor that
ought to be adopted. The 16-hour bill
ought probably to be amended The
compensation for government en-
ployes act ought to be enlarged and
liberalized with a view to making the
government liable in the same way as
a private employer for the injury of
its workmen suffered while in it's en-
ploy.
1T is the legitimate and approved
practice OF labor organizations to pro-
pose legislation of this kind to the
Executive for Recommendation and to
Congress for action and it will be a
pleasant duty on my part, if I am
elected, as 1 expect to be, to consider
all such labor proposals. and to urge
uron Congress those measures approx
ed in the Republican platform as well
as such others as commend themselves
to my judgment and my desire to aid
Labor. The functions of the commits
soner of labor may very well be en-
larged to make the bureau more useful
to the cause of labor and all proposals
in that direction will meet my hearty
