REPRESENTATIVE OF LEADING
LABOR ORGANIZATIONS AT
THE WHITE HOUSE.
DISCUSSION IS LIVELY
PLEA FOR BILL OF RIGHTS TO IN.
CLUDE ALL LEGISLATION ON
LABOR MATTERS.

Washington.-Subje all his
many of the leading labor organiza-
lions of this country, to a rapid fire
of questions, President Roosevelt
Tuesday night, at a dinner given by
him at the White House, endeavored
to find out what labor wants from
Congress, and in what way he could be
of assistance to the toilers of the coun-
try. Although the dinner began at 8
o'clock, it was almost midnight before
the gathering broke up.
The President was not alone in his
questioning. He was ably seconded
by his lieutenants, Justice Moody, Sec
rotary Straus and Secretary Garfield
frequently asking questions of some of
the captains of labor.
The general impression prevailed
among the labor leaders after the din
ner that the Presidents message to
Congress will show some of the flavor
Of the conference.
Occasionally the labor leaders would
become involved in a debate which
would terminate in some tangible sug-
gestion being offered. President Roose-
welt, in his machine-gun questioning,
covered, it is said, every possible phase
of the labor question.
The labor leaders talked without re-
serve and were free to reiterate their
pronounced attitude on some issues
to which Congress has in the past
turned an unwilling ear.
But what seemed most significant of
all, both to the President and other
government officials present, was the
suggestion that Congress should pass
bill of rights into which all labor
legislation should be incorporated;
should create publicity board, whose
purpose would be to investigate and
make public the details of controver-
sizes between capital and labor.
The plea for a bill of rights was
made by P. H. Morrissey, grand mas
ter Of the Railway Trainmen, while
the publicity board idea was advanced
by T. ]. Dolan, general secretary
treasurer of the International Brother
hood of Steamshovel and Dredgemen.
The Presidents interest in these two
propositions was keenly and obviously
awakened, but as to his attitude upon
them he was noncommittal.
