President Elect Taft Wants
Very Much to Go
.TANGLES TO STRAIGHTEN
The President-elect Is Likely to Go
With Mrs. Taft, in January
Many Distinguished
Callers. e

Washington, Dec. 14.--William II
Taft, president-elect, contemplates q
visit to Panama before his inaugura
tion.
This visit Is approved by President
Roosevelt and Secretary Root
While it has not been finally deter
mined upon, Mr.. Taft announced Sat
urday night that it was his intention
to 60. Should this be his final decision
he viii leave the port of Charleston, s.
g., probably the last week in January
for a trip which win occupy approx
mately 20 days.
There are many reasons, in Mr..
Taft's view. why trip TO the isthmus
would be Of decided advantage TO the
advancement of the canal project and
consequently 10 the Unuited States.
President Rooseyelt's visit proved a
decided stimulus TO the work and the
three visits which Mr.. Taft has made
as secretary Of war all were of adyan-
tage.
Mr.. Taft feels that this is practi.
cally his only opportunity 10 visit the
isthmus during bis Forthcoming term
as president. He has not only keen
interest in the work, but an intimate
knowledge of the details OF the atu-
alton and with the personnel OF those
conducting the operations there.
The visit, which he is decidedly in.
inclined to make, would put him in d.
rect personal contact with the situa-
ton and would give him clear and
rp-to-date idea OF the methods being
employed in the prosecution of the
work.
The journey, if made, would un-
doubtedly be on one of the navy's best
ships, and Mrs. Taft, who made the
first visit to Panama with Mr.. Taft
four years ago, would without doubt
accompany him this time.
The only objection to the expedition.
which has been pointed out by careful
students of the law and constitution.
is that, pending the official declaration
of Mr.. Taft as President-eIect by the
action of the electoral college and his
Inauguration as President, there is no
constitutional or legal provision for the
substitution of anyone else in the
event of anything happening to him in
Panama.

some skill in writing as well as some

not dare attempt to write even what

For Determining When Injunct-
ions Should Issue in
Labor Disputes.
SHOULD GIVE DEFENDANTTIME
Secretary Believes .ex Parte Issuance Of
Injunctions Should be Corrected --
Laborers Are Entirely Lawful in Unit
ing to Protect Their Interests.

MARTINS FERRY. Ohio, Jan. 9.-The
views OF Secretary Taft, in regard to
the abuse of the injunction, are set forth
in letter replying to questions pro-
pounded by Secretary Lewis. OF the
Ohio Federation OF Labor. Secre-
tary Taft prefaces his statement with
the declaration that he believes it will
be Highly beneficial and entirely law
iul for Iaborers to unite in their common
interests"
In brief Taft says he sees no objec-
tion to the enactment OF a statute
which will define the rights of laborers
in controversies with their former EN-
ployers. This would necessarily furnish
a definite rule for determining when
iniunctions should issue, as well as their
character and scope.
Second-.Whether the Secretary be-
ieves no injunction should issue, until
after notice has been given the defend
ant and hearing had. Taft says he
has stated many times in public that
the power to issue injunctions ex parte
has given rise to certain abuses and in
Justice to laborers engaged in peaceful
strike, in that without hearing their
strike is weakened. although their pur'
pose may have been entirely lawful, by
an order in which they never had al
opportunity to question, and which i;
calculated to discourage their action
Taft says he favors federal statute re
quiring notice and hearing before the
injunction issue.
Third-,Should the courts retain thu
power OF issuing ex'parte injunctions
Taft thinks it is eminently proper thai
the statute require the court issuing thu
injunction to give the defendant shor'
period, says three or fours days, IL
which to have hearing thereon, befor'
the injunction issue.
Fourth--Taft says regarding the pun
ishment of persons in contempt OF court
| for violating injunctions, that the belle
that the Judge whose order is violated
moLas a nersonal matter of it, Is il
most cases unfounded. He does believe
however, where it can be done without
injuring the authority OF the court, tina
it would be well, in order to avoid ever
an appearance OF injustice, to have tn
question of contempt decided by anothei
Judge than the one issuing the injunc
tion.
