TAFT KEYNOTE" TALK
AROUSES INTEREST

CHICAGO, Sept T7.-Orslle-ra l4au
was crowded with Chicago tsepubIican~
at a meeting planned by li.- Chicaco
Republican organization, the Hamilton
Club all waiting eagerly for what had
been announced as President Taffis
keynote speech on his swing around
the circle"
The President talked most Of last
evening about labor Frore that sub
Ject he passed 10 q discussion of the
laws delays and OF the rsmedies he
viii propose. At the end of his sDeeca
he recognized the expectancy and the
disappointment Of his audience, and
said.
we are entering now upon an era Of
prosperity, which 1 hope viii be long
continued. We have Just bassed a tarin
bill which has ended for the cime ~.
disturbance q business that always
arises from the consideration and agita-
ton over such oil, and there is moth
ing now 70 prevent the application OF
all the capital and ali the Forces which
have been suspended for me last year
and half or two years by a lack of
confidence and a waiting for such set
uement. to the expansion Of business
and the further development OF the re-
sources OF this country.
Reforms Needed.
But this prospect Of prosperity mus.
not blind US to the necessity for carry
ing out certain great reforms advocated
by Mr.. Roosevelt and recommended ir
the Republican party platform. which.
l believe, are needed 10 prevent a return
OF the abuses which all men recognize
the evil Of II our previous business
methods and the management Of our
great corporations I expect TO consider
IL frrrmI-
other stage in my journey. as ] dc also
the character Of the tariff bill. which
has been adopted and which has beer
subjected TO much criticism"
The President in opening his speech
referred TO the fact that the last time
he spoke in the hall was during the
campaign, when he had 10 defend the
decisions that he had rendered against
union labor as a Federal Judge He
recalled the promises Of legislation
that he had made. and assured mis-
hearers that he would recommend the
measures TO Congress at the next ses-
siOin.
Comments On Union Labor.
On the subject of union labor the
President said;
Il think IL is a wise course for labor
ers 10 unite 70 defend their interests.
II IS a wise course Tor them 70 provide
a fund by which, should occasion artist
and strikes and lockOutS 70 low, those
who lose their places may be supported
pending an adjustment OF the Difficult
ties. I think the employer who declines
20 deal with organized labor and 20 rec
ogniZe IL as a proper element IN tie
settlement OF wage controversies is be-
hind the times. There is not the slight
est doubt that II labor had remained
unorganized wages would be very much
lower.
1t is true that in the end they would
probably be hXed by the law Of supply
and demand, but generally. before this
law manifests itself, there is a Period in
which labor. IL organized and acting
together can compel the EMPLOYER
promptly 70 recognize the change Of
conditions and advance wages to meet
a rising market and an Increase In
profits, and on the other hand can de-
lay the too quick impulse OF the en-,
plovEr facing a less prosperous futurs'

Much surprise was felt here when it

companions accide I'll discharged his
gun. the bullet passt-z through a par

Peary today is quoted as saying that

that II is now a question OF veracity

RELY ON WHITNEY
TO SUSTAIN COOK

NEW YORK. Sept. i7.-Coincident
with the arrival OF a wireless dispatch
from Dr. Cook. on board the oscar II.
which said Harry Whitney and the
Cook belongings were on board the
Jeanie, and that Whitney knew Of
Cooks success, came a dispatch from
81. Johns. Newfoundland. stating that
there was a strong possibility that
Harry Whitney had arrived at Battle
Harbor, Labrador. on the Jeanie.
The ST. Johns dispatch told Of the re-
ceipt Of information from Indian Har-
Dor. Labrador, OF the wreck OF the
whaling ship Snowdrop, OF Dundee, IN
FI-obisher strait, on September Is, 1905.
the crew being saved. The dispatch
continued:
This message is presumed here 10
mean that the Canadian government
cruiser Arctic, Captain Bernier. or the
steamer Jeanie, Capt. Samuel Bartlett
has arrived at Battle Harbor. as other
wise there Is no reasonable way TO a.-
count for the receipt Of this informa-
ton on the Labrador coast"
Would Substantiate Claim.
Captain Bernier is the Canadian
Arctic explorer who has been so long
pressed that he had perished. II.
however. the news of the wreck Of
the Snowdrop was brought in by the
Jeanie. the claims of DR.. Cook with
regard to his discovery Of the Pole
should be substantiated by Whitney
at once.
The Snowdrop left Dundee in the
summer OF 1905. In December a
bottle containing statement that
she was sinking, with all hands, was
picked up, and the owners proposed
to send another ship 20 search the
Baffn Land coast. Today's dispatch
from Indian Harbor seems like a mes
sage from the dead Il Is signed
"Ritchie," and a man OF that name
was among the crew.
