LABORER NOT FOR BRYAN
NORFOLK TRAIN ENGINEER DIS
cUssEs SITUATION.
TAFT LAsoRlNe MANS FRIEND

Man Poor and the Poor Man Rich.
While Attracting a Certain Number,
Does Not Get Labor Vote.
The railroad trainmen of the United
States will not vote solidly for any
one presidential candidate. Their
votes will be divided between Taft
and Bryan. Most of them are repub-
Leans, all of them believe in the re-
publican doctrine of protection be-
cause Of its influence upon American
labor, and while some of them will
vote for Bryan, many will not be af.
fected by his promises to make the
rich man poor and the poor man rich.
This is the opinion of a Northwest
ern locomotive engineer who owns his
home in Norfolk and is prominent
among the railroad trainmen.
"Organized labor will not be found
voting soldly for either candidate y
he said While there was some furore
aroused by attacks on Mr.. Taft be
cause of his injunction decision. most
of the thoughtful trainmen, studying
the matter, have come to realize that
Mr.. Taft as judge would have had &c
go outside the law to have rendered
any other decision than the one he
did give. Railroad trainmen are ar
intelligent body of men. They realize
for the most part that you might as
well throw away the constitution OF
the United States as to throw away
the courts right to enjoin. And most
of them realize that no man on earth
be he Bryan or any other man. could
possibly do away with the injunction
no matter how long he were presi
dent"
Stand Up For American Labor.
Yes, trainmen are protectionists,
he continued. why shouldn't they
be? They don't want the standards o
the American laborer lowered. The,
don't want to make American labo
compete with Hungarians ant
Chinese, whose standards Of livint
are far below ours. We want to SCI
American labor earn enough to liv'
comfortably, educate the children ant
put little money aside for a rain,
day. And that's what protection
means"
