THE FRIEND OF LABOR

In the current number of the Am
erican magazine is striking por-
trait of Taft, from the pen of Will
lam Allen White, a non-partisan
writer, whose sketches of men anG
affairs are distinguished for their
truth and fine sense of perception.
Mr.. White takes up Taft's official
record upon labor questions and
shows that Taft has been one of the
most pronounced factors in the Am
erican judiciary toward protecting
the rights Of the working man against
the aggressions of the unjust en-
ployer. He says, in part:
Labor has advanced In a dozen
years so that the Taft decisions.
made in the fear of God and in
righteous wrath against the injustices
OF a by-gone day, now are the bull
warks OF labor in its fight for better
wages and more equitable treatment.
For the Taft decisions set in the law
of the land the right to strike, the
right to have union officials heard
IN the settlement of differences, and
the right to compel members OF
unions to obey any reasonable orders
from the head OF the union. Fred
'erick N. Judson of st. Louis, attor-
ney for the railroad brotherhood in
the famous Wabash case. has written:
There Is no foundation for the sug-

gestion that the decision of Judge
Taft were in any sense unfriendly to
labor"
1t was Judge Taft's opinion in the
Adyston Pipe and Steel company case
that sustained and revived the Sher-
man antitrust law, which, since its
passage in the eighties, had been al
most a dead letter upon the statutes.
In affirming Judge Taft's decision up
holding the Sherman law, the United
States supreme court paid him the
compliment of transcribing his de-
cision in the higher courts own opin-
ion, thus making the Taft decision
the adjudged law of the land. 1t
was upon this opinion that the SUI
preme court rested in deciding the
famous Northern Securities merger
| case for the people, and upon that
decision much of recent litigation
brought by the government for the
people against so-called trusts and
com binations in restraint OF trade
has been started
These are matters of record and
not OF opinion and will no doubt
serve to dispel the impression the
enemies OF Roosevelt and Taft are
trying to create, that II the war Sec
rotary is elected the working people
will not have friend in the White
House.
