WILL NOT ALLOW
ANY HARM TO COME TO CANNON

When Mr. Boutelle had finished his
interview with the president, he ex-
pressed the conviction that Speaker
Cannon would prove his loyalty to the
present administration at this session
He said that he was convinced the
speaker would do all within his power
to secure the passage of legislation rec
commended by President Taft.
Boutelle added that in his opinion
Uncle Joe" was distinctly an Abra-
ham Lincoln type of statesman.
Taking the hint from the president
the standpatters are declaring that all
who attempt to seat a new speaker or
Interfere with the present rules are to
be regarded as obstructionists. AS
matter of fact. however. there is no
more likelihood that Cannon and Aid
rich intend to aid in the enactment OF
progressive legislation than there was
probability that they would frame and
pass an honest tariff bill The coun-
try is familiar with what the Cannon
Aldrich crowd did with the Taft tariff
promises. What grounds are there TO
base the hope they WIN do any better
by the recommendation in the presi-
dents message?

LABOR LEADERS FEAR A
Big STRIKE INEVITABLE

ST. Paul. Mimi. Dec. Labor lead
ers concerned with the switchmen's
strike late yesterday had given up
hope of averting a general strike nf
those organizations OF railway en-
ployes affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, and said they pc
lieved such a strike was imminent.
This fact was made known privately
from an authoritative source at the
strike headquarters of the switchmen'5
union. The announcement of such a
strike, it is stated on authority Of a
high official of the switchmen's union.
will be made soon.
Unions to He Involved.
The unions whose membership in
cludes railway employees that are af-

prevent a revision of the rules. The
president assigned Postmaster General
Hitchcock and others of his best steam
roller fighters to help Uncle joe with
the result that the acknowledgements
sive combination was In vain.
Feared Delay, He Said.
The presidents explanation was that
it was far from his purpose to stand in
the way of better rules, but that it was
his opinion that if Speaker Cannon
Shoe unseated and the rules
changed just at that time, 1T might
have a tendency to delay or otherwise
interfere with the making of a tariff
bill that would conform to his promise
to the people.
The president now takes a very SIM
liar position as regards fight against
Cannon and the rules at this session.
He talked the situation over with Rep
resentative Boutelle of Chicago at con-
siderable length Boutelle is one of
the most jealous defenders of Cannon
ism, willing worker In the house or
ganization, and stalwart advocate of
special privileges, especially to the
beef trust and kindred organizations in
Chicago.

BY TAV.

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, Dec. 5.-President Taft
has served notice that he will not allow
any harm to come to Uncle Joe" Can
nor or the house rules.
The president is telling visitors that
he is not in any way concerned with
the fight to be made upon the speaker
and rules, but that If that fight threat
ems to interfere with the enactment of
his legislative program, then he will
take a hand-not to save the speaker,
but to secure legislation outlined in
his message.
The insurgents are recalling that this
is practically the same position the
president took during the previous fight
on Cannonism and the old rules, which
occurred soon after the opening of the
special session March 4.
At that time the speaker was on the
verge of being dethroned, and the
house rules in serious danger of being
mproved-through coalition of dem
ocrats and rogressives-when the
president interviewed. The president
utilized every source of power at his
command to perpetuate Cannonism and
