TAKE FIGHT
To OLYMPIA
UNION MEN WILL SEND A
DELEGATION TO TAKE UP
THEIR CAUSES BEFORE THE
STATE LEGISLATURE.

"Pass law providing that all
work of municipalities shall be
done by citizens" Is i'll substance
a resolution submitted by Thomas
Maloney. and unanimously adopted
at meeting Of the delegation to
the convention Of the State Fedora
ton of Labor, which was held in
the Central Labor halls Sunday aft
ernoon.
That numbers OF citizens of diff
ferent places are constantly being
displaced by contractors having
such work in charge because they
can get foreigners to do the work
cheaper, is the contention upon
which Mr.. Maloney has drafted the
above resolution.
such discrimination Is detrimen-
tai not only to the municipalities,
but to the welfare of the citizen
aud the home builders" Maloney
states.
To fight for law OF this kind,

hour day for women and minors

yestigate some violation of the fed
eral statutes, in no matter what
branch of the public service"
The secret service men obtain
ed hundreds of convictions of con-
spirators who sold fraudulent ma
turalization papers. They located
in Canada Greene and Gaynor, who
were implicated in big govern
ment contract frauds, and arrested
them. They secured many convic-
tons in peonage cases and in silk
and opium customs frauds. They
assisted In the beef trust investiga-
ton and located the cotton leak in
the agricultural department. Their
destruction of a lottery company
netted the government 100000 in
fines. In revealing the ink con-
tract fraud in the bureau of en-
craving and printing they saved
the government 100000 a year.
The total expense of the secret
service last year was $4,000.
I, s''Such a body as the secret serv-
Ice" continues the message, '"usch
a body of trained investigating
agents, occupying permanent po-
sition in the government service,
and separate from all local in
vestigating forces in different de-
partment, is an absolute necessity
II the best work is to be done
against criminals. To provide for
this is not only the right of con-
gress but emphatically its duty. To
use the secret service In the inves-
tigation Of purely private or po-
litiical matters would be a gross
abuse. But there has been no
single instance Of such abuse dur
ing my term as president.
II most earnestly ask, in the
name of good government and de-
cent administration, In the name OF
honesty and for the purpose of
bringing to justice violators Of the
federal laws wherever they may be
found. whether in public or private
life, that the action taken by the
house last year be reversed.
Il also urge that the secret serv-
ice be placed where it properly be-
longs, and made a bureau in the
department of justice, as the chief
of the secret service has repeatedly
requested; but whether that is
done or not, 1t should be explicitly
provided that the secret service can
be used to detect and punish crime
wherever it is found"
Attached to the message is a let
ter from Secretary Cortelyou of
the treasury department to the
house committee on appropriations,
the Busbey article and letters from
the president to Speaker Cannon
aud the late Senator Allison, all
bearing on this subject.
