SAYS LIABILITY Of

tion,'

HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. 3.-Con-
siderable comment has been occa-
stoned here by the statements made
by Herbert Knox Smith, commission
er of corporations, in a lecture deliv-
cred here, in which he used the
Cherry, ILL.,, mine disaster to illus
trate the deficiency of the laws to
protect workingmen and urge their
reform.
He said employers as a rule thought
it cheaper to fight claims for acci-
dents than to adopt preventives, and
he doubted whether any of the Cherry
miners would recover from the en-
ployers.
Germany and England have infin-
1tely better laws than has this coun-
try for the protection of workmen,
said Commissioner Smith. He added
that the federal government had es-
tablished a fund for civil service en-
ployes engaged in hazardous occu-
b patlons, such as working on the PAM
anna canal, and contrasted with this
federal action the failures of state
governments. In conclusion, he said
employers liability is going to
come; if not under the federal con-
stitution, then under the state con-
stitution." ....

LABOR LEADERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank

to go to Jail right away.
The court Of appeals of the District
of Columbia has granted their pet1-

for year, eight months and six
months respectively.
BY the granting of the petition the

The granting of the petition was un-
expected as it had been freely pre-

refuse the labor leaders plea.

to suggest that a conference held
last week between President Taft and

WASHINGTON, Dec, ,3.-In his
Thanksgiving, Day sermon Rev.
William D. Moss, pastor of the
Washington Heights PRESBYTERIAN
church, said:
I'VE have had a special session
of congress to revise the tariff
downward on the necessities Of
life, but do, not know. that we
need be particularly thankful for
it. It is true that the duty was
reduced on paraffine and SER ap
iron, and suppose the people
who live on those necessities are
thankful today. The rest of us
doubt whether the session was
worth it's great expense ., *.
II hope I am not guilty of high
treason, but we all know that
President Taft is not our real
president. He is the social presi-
dent OF the country, but the nj
tion is ruled from Wall street."
