MOVEMENT BEGUN
TO ASSIST CLERKS
Business Mems Committee
Selects June Is Date for
Mass Meeting.

A mass meeting Of Government clerks
and business men viii be held the even
ing of Monday, June Is, in the Masonic
Temple for the purpose Of discussing
ways and means for taking care Of
dismissed superannuated Government
clerks who find themselves without ade-
quate means Of support
The mass meeting was decided on at
a meeting this afternoon Of the execu-
tive committee OF the new Business
Mems Association Of the District, form
ed for the purpose Of looking after the
interests of the old clerks. The COM
mittee met in the rooms of the Chamber
of Commerce and was in session for an
hour. Although many phases Of the
proposed movement were talked over in
an informal manner, the only official
announcement was that the mass meet
ing would be held.
The United States Marine Band will be
on hand to furnish the music. There
will be several set speeches and after
these a general discussion OF the sub
ject under consideration.
Officials Of the Government took the
view today that there is little need for
the agitation on the mart of the business
men IN behalf Of the clerks Members
OF the Cabinet said they intended &c
LOOK after the, aged clerks BY keeping
them employed until the legislation for
a retirement plan has been passed by
Congress.
Unnecessary, Say Officials.
Members of the new organization,
however. say that there will certainly
be from time to time cases Of clerks
needing assistance, and they believe that
provision should be made as soon as pos
sible for such cases.
A most important feature of the dis
cussion of conditions in the executive
departments is the official denial Of
President Taft that he has considered in
any way the proposition to leugthen the
working hours Of the employees Of the
classified service He stated emphaIi-
cally that no such proposition has been
put up to him and that he has not con-
teEplated the change.

The chief feature of the beneficient
Canadian act called the industrial dis

quirement that, in the event of a dis

public utility, 1t should be illegal to.
resort to a strike or lockout until the
matters in dispute had been made the
subject Of an investigation before q
board of conciliation and investigation
to be established under specified rules
by the Canadian minister of labor.
During the two years from March
~, 1907, to the end Of March, 1909, IS.
applications were received for the ap-
pointment of boards. under which 40
boards were set up.
On the 55. applications received
strikes were avoided or ended in 25'
coal mines and four metalliferous
mines, tn15 railroads and three street
railways. In two bodies of longshore.,

Edward H. R. Green, the noted

recently, apropos to the Wright aero

Some people laughed at the first
autos. They laughed at the first
aeroplanes. Such people retard the
wheels of progress, and sometimes
they are crushed under those wheels
Such people remind me of an
empty-headed duke who said to Thorn.

/ viii Keep up Fight.
We can at least go ON fighting FIJI
IN adjustment of duties that wi.
serve Us from the impositiona o
these domestic combinations. Th,
truth is, as have said before. tha
brt for the pretext which this new
tariff afforded this increase all alons
the lines would have been avoided
Let ne illustrate. 4
a lady in Washington told me O,
going to crockery store and prIcine
a set of dishes. 1t was $50; and the
tariff bill hadn't been reported yet
Later. when it had become gener, LII
known that the revision was beina
tt-made upward rather than downward
sne went back and asked about those
same dishes, Theyprice had, gone up
to $79.
But. she protested, 1T was only
$50 few weeks ago when came in.
i understand; but don't you under.
stand about the tariff? They're re-.
ysing it and things like this are go.
ing to be higher
81 looked up that descrirtion o
goods. 1t wasn't increased in the tar.
iH measure. But the understandable
was out that manufacturers were in.
creasing prices because of the change
In the duties; everybody knew that
cottons and woolens were going III
on that account; and so the tendency
was to push up the prices Of other
things. The tariff gave the excuse
for that movement. If the bill had
seen beaten, as some of us tried to
beat it. the whole country would have
known there was no excuse for that
line of increases. and they wouldn't
have taken place.
The next fight will be for tariff
commission; not self-propellng, adj
visory commission. We must have a
commission, somewhat like the inter.
state commerce commission. with rea
powers. Congress must prescribe a
rule; the commission must have pow
sr to administer it by fixing rates in
accordance with it. after full inyesti-
cation and examination of all inter:
ests involved. Probably we have
small chance to get that at present;
but the country is for 1t, and we will
keep on fighting for it till we do
get it."
