Utterance Aids Their Fight.

power to make these Investigations
and decisions in regard to these
combinations. The president scoli-
ed congress sharply for their fail
ure to attack the subject of the
regulation Of interstate matters in
effective fashion, designating legis'
lation on this subject as occasion
al" and inadequate.
He declared the issuance of Sc
curities of any combination doing
interstate business should be UNI
der government supervision.
BOSTON, April 2S-In making
reference to scandal in collision in
bidding by certain contractors on
supplies in Boston the president
stirred up. a hornets nest. Con-
tractors declare that he has done
them injustice. President Smith, of
the Smjth-Lowell Co., denied that
his company has been made to act
as a scapegoat for the higher ups
Other contractors also ienounce
the president for using their
names.
The president in supporting his
argument for trust regulation sub
mitted extracts from the report of
Nathan Mathews to the Boston
council showing that the American
Bridge Co. and others had entered
into an agreement that practically
eliminated bidding on steel work in
New England and made all such
transactions fraudulent.
The house could not consider the
message on account of the red tape
now governing that body, and the
senate postponed consideration OF
the matter until today. 1t is UNI
likely that any change will be eff
fected, as congress has mapped out
the program of just what it does
not intend to do and will in all
probability follow it to the adjourn
ment.
The president states that the en-
ployers' liability bin recently pass
ed falls short of what it should be,
but regards 1t as a step forward.
He hopes it will be the stepping
stone for legislation guaranteeing
reimbursement for injuries of all
classes Of employees in public
service.
The president rehearses his
previous requests for legislation
he has championed, among them
being the postals saving banks and
financial relief He renews and
emphasizes his recommendations
for measures on behalf of labor,
and warns congress against closing
it's ears to the demand of public
opinion for restrictions on the
power of injunction. The same at
titude is taken on government con-
troll of COrpOratiOns.

Cars on this line are the fastest

that a bridge is traversed is not

parted from the car and dropped
into the river, else the weight

clothes had secured against him tor

Reports had been received at

WASHINGTON. D. C., April 2S--
Organized labor is trying to locate
itself this morning. After read
ing the presidents latest message,
and in particular those portions OF
the message which dealt with the
labor unions and the antitrust and
injunction laws, they are, figura-
lively speaking, wandering about
with their eyes shut and wondering
where they are.
The president defined their posi-
ton, however, quite sharply as he
saw It, Now it's up to Gompers,
Mitchell and other labor leaders
to elucidate their positions.
The presidents attitude in re-
gard to boycott is directly opposed
to that Of many labor leaders. He
declares in the message:
But when labor undertakes in
unlawful manner to prevent the dis
tribution and sale of products of
labor, it has left the fold of pro-
lection and by it's action may be
plainly in restraint of trade"
The plan of collectively refusing
to patroniZe an institution an
tagonistic to organized labor has
been declared unlawful by the
courts, while the blacklist. used by
employers in discrimination against
union men, has been practically
sustained in case affecting the
right of an employer to discharge
a man simply because he belonged
to q union.
Under the circumstances, Roose-
velt's declaration on the eve of a
presidential campaign and NOM
mating convention in which the
presidents favorite candidate is al
ready severely attacked as a foe
to labor. This morning enemies of
Taft declare that despite the
strong stand the president takes
against law breaking corporations,
and his evident desire to restrict
the power of injunction, labor will
view the message as less favorable
fSoem than they had hoped for
The president advocated a ma
tional incorporation law. He de-
clared that there should be n limit
placed upon the indiscriminate
power of the injunction but that as
legal instrument 1t should be pre-.
served as an arm of the courts.
Amendments to the antitrust law
were sorely needed in regard to
great corporations and wealthy
combinations, the burden of proof
should rest upon them when their
right to exist was questioned by
the government.

Or body of some sort should be
created by congress with the

SPOKANE TO BOOST
FOR BIGGER NAVY

Congressman HQbson last night
converted his audience to the ne
cessity of greater navy as an in
surance of peace, and a resolution
favoring the Roosevelt plan was
passed requesting the mayor to
join in the appeal to the state rep
resentation in congress for naval
engagements.
HObson's argument was along
the lines of his previous writing on
the subject, in which he regards
Japan as the danger that menaces
the United States in the Pacific
He stated that there Is not a fort
on either coast line that could not
be taken by a small attacking
force. He also said the yellow race
must be kept in it's own country
and that could be accomplished
only by navy large enough to
command the seas.

JAPAN CR0WLS

TOXIC, April 2S.-Ugly charges
of treachery against the mikados
occidental ally are heard every
where in Japan because of the at

a japanese protectorate in Korea
and their subsequent mOnopoliza-
ton of trade in that country and
Manchuria. Threats that Japan
will also attempt to absorb much Of
England's India and Australian
trade are heard here.
English commercial interests are
behind the investigation that Eng
land is now carrying on as to trade
conditions in the Far East. 1t is
well known in Japan that English
merchants openly sympathize with
the Chinese in their boycott on
Japanese trade. The English open
ly charge Japanese dishonesty in
trade relations in Korea and Man

DEMOCRATS TEACH

If the young republican club real

they'll get the fight of their life.
Some time ago the republicans is
sued a newspaper challenge NAM
ing their own subject. The demo
Gratis rejoin that the proper way to
pull on trouble of that sort is to
name a committee to meet with
their committee and arrange sub
ject, dates and all necessary pre-
liminaries of the encounter. Let
the republicans get at it in that
way and the young democrats say
they will come a-running to the
fray. It's just what they have been
painting for.

The morning paper in today's is
sue accused the chief of police with
apathy toward the so-called so
cial' clubs with card games as
sideline. In reply Chief Rice this
morning stated that he would close
the places II sufficient evidence
that they are gambling dens could
be secured. ell desired to proceed
against them soon after he first
took the oath of Office, and to that
end asked the advise OF County
Prosecutor Barnhart. The latter's
reply was that the state law, which
is similar in detail to the city or
dinance, was worded either inten-
tionally or otherwise so that it is
almost impossible to secure con-
viction under it, and that only in
the event that an accused party
confesses.
Regarding the statements of
Mrs. Rem McCammon, wife OF the
daylight burglar who has confessed
to more than a score OF crimes, the
chief was informed yesterday that
Mrs. McCammOn went to the Pas
time and Athletic club, of which
Ed Shelton is the head and de-
manded money under the threat
that unless 1t was forthcoming sne
would go to the chief of police.
This, it turned out, she did, with
the result that the chief told her
that he was powerless to act with
out evidence. Mrs. McCammon, the
chief says, then told him that she
would go to every minister in town
and protest against him for not
closing up the Pastime club. She
claimed that her husband had
gambled there. She stated at first
that this was what led to his down
fall. She was informed that Nc

YOUNG LADIES TELL
STAIR WAR STORY

Twenty-Five charming young la

court this morning as witnesses in
the case OF their professor, H. C.
Blair, against B. c. Wiltse, proprie-
tor OF the Madison hotel. upon the
top floor Of which the college is To-
Gated. According to current re.
ports of the trouble recently, the
elevator of the hotel broke. and
Wiltse, who has always insisted
that the students use the elevator
so they will not lounge around the
halls, refused to allow them to
come down the stairs. To prevent
this, he barricaded the stairs. with
