TAFT FRIENDLY TO LABOR
Secretary straus Tells of His Attitude
fn Cabinet.


CINCINNATI. o.. Sept. 12.-The position
of the present administrstion and Judge
Taft, on the labor question is to be made
the special subject of consideration in the
campaign by Oscar S. Straus. secretary of
the Department of Commerce and Labor
who with T. V. Powderly of the infor-
nation bureau of that department, called
on the candidate today.
II am going to make as many speeches
and do much work in the campaign as
my official duties will permit" said Secre-
tary Straus. after his conference with Mr..
Taft. "I will speak in New York and Chi
cago at least, and undoubtedly in other
places.
LAS the head of the Department of Com.
merce and Labor, I am decidedly interested
in the welfare OF labor. and l regard the
Bryan fallacies more dangerous to labor
than to any other element in the campaign
His government ownership Of railroads and
his bank deposit scheme would so cripple
industry as to reduce the wage paying fund
even more than his previous fallacy to 16
to 1.
II do not think that even Bryan himself
would claim that President Roosevelt was
inimical to labor and l know from my own
connection as members OF his cabinet,
and l say this without disclosing any of the
privacies of the cabinet room, that when
ever the labor question came up. either
in or out of that room, Mr.. Taft's position
has universally been for the best interests
OF the laboring man"
! Mr.. Powdery said he was here to estab-
lsh a receiving bureau for the inquiries
/ hts bureau had sent out to the farmers
| particularly Of the south. asking their
! needs with respect to farm labor. The
| rural carriers he said, had already carried
! 10 the farmers of the country 10000 OF
! postal cards, making the inquiry as to the
! character and quantity Of farm help needed
to be used in giving advice to arriving
! foreigners. Cincinnati has been selected
| he said as the receiving point OF the
answers because of its geographical 10.
cation.
Judge Taft was today invited to address
while in Chicago the Douglass Neighbor-
hood Improvement club, made up Of men
representing different churches, political
parties and business interests. The invita-
tion was extended by Bishop J. c. Hartzei
OF the Methodist Episcopal church. who
came here from Chicago for that purpose
It is the bishops desire 10 have Mr.. Taft
speak on civic reform in a number of the
larger cities and the candidate expressed
his willingness so to do II the ARRANGEMENTS
can be made to fit in with the speaking en-,
gagements the national committee is max
ing for him.

Taft was the subject of long conference
today between Chairman Frank H. Hitcl-
cock of the republican national commit
tee and Arthur 1. Vorys, Mr.. Tafts per-
sonal manager in Ohio. No definite ar
rangements were made except as the plans

natl on September %. At that time the re-

vention. 1t is expected that a special train
from New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsyl-
vania, and that the western states VIII be
Well represented. The address to be made
by Mr.. Taft will be his first big political
speech since the opening of the cam
paign.
Mr.. Vorys submitted to Mr. Hitchcock
desired to speak during the first week OF
his political trip. In view of the fact that
it has been decided that the candidate shall
first visit middle west states, no schedule
could be arranged until Mr.. Hitchcock had
consulted Senator Dixon, director of the
speakers bureau in the west. on Monday
in Chicago and then Senator Dixon will
make up an itinerary which he will take
to Cincinnati to submit to Mr.. Taft for his
approval. 1t is possible also that Chair
man Hitchcock will go to Cincinnati at the
same time.

for middle west states will meet Mr.. Hitch
cock when he arrives in Chicago Monday.
All of them have made requests that Mr..
Taft deliver political addresses in their
