What's the Matter

office.
He was the select member CT
his family. No money and no et-
fort were too great to be given by
the Taft brothers when Bill was
to be benefited and pushed for
ward.
He has advanced, not by the
rough impact of powerful convic-
lions impressed upon an eager
people, but easily and serenely by
virtue of the charm of his person
atty and his loyal friendships
with those high in public life.
His policies are not his, but
|Roosevelt's; his politics are not
ibis, but Hitchcock's; his views on
conservation (Which are Pin
chot's) are correct enough, but
he allows Ballinger to override
him, at least temporarily.
In this upward pressure of Taft
|by his friends, one powerful ele-

the time, she approved this state

"She will make of her position
and the white house what 1t
should be made, the central force

and thoroughly gentle democratic
lines"
/, Mr.. Taft saw the country slowly
but inexorably turning against
him, and Mrs. Taft, broken In
health, has had TO give over her
darling dream of q new kind of
American social life.
The situation possesses many of
the tokens of high tragedy.
Mr.. Taft's temperament Is OF
the kind that requires settled
authority. It does not tsand
straight of itself for it has no stiff
backbone on inner convictions. All

ia crisis. When Taft entered the
white house the strong guiding
personality of Roosevelt was gone
from behind him. Where should
he turn but to his personal
,friends?--his brothers, Charles P.
of Cincinnati, and Henry w. of
New York, both very wealthy men,
both interested in the great cor
porate interests of the country.
He turned to the lawyers and
judges he had known for so long.
What he did not see was that
the thing he had entered upon was
war. He turned his back upon
his friends who seemed to have a
real public view of the great ques-
lions of the day. Under Roose-
welt, men would work their heads
off. How quiet they are now!
CLAWS, fighting to save the peo-
Pies lands, is discharged; Pin
chot, one Of the greatest public
servants, Is forced out of office;
versed; Shaw and Price pay the
penalty of enthusiasm, and New
lei1 and Davis, of the reclamation
service, are saved, II at all, only
by the greatest pressure.
The eternal mo" seems now TO
reign in Washington. Instead of
trying to find out why a good
thing should be done for all the
people 1t seems to be the policy of
Mr.. Wickersham. Mr. Ballinger
and Mr.. Hitchcock to find out all
the reasone why 1t should not be
done. Mr.. Taft decides not upon
what is right, but upon what ne
thinks win satisfy all OF them.
Thereby he satisfies no one.

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
FOR LABOR LEGISLATION
CONFERENCE - CANADIAN
CANCELLATION AND AIsBI-
TRATION LAW.
by Peter Power.


One of the most important
gatherings of the year will occtS
in Chicago, June 10, when the
general administrative council of
the American Federation of La
Dor Legislation will assemble and
the third national conference OH
industrial accidents and work.
mems compensation will be held.
The association is largely COM
posed of business and professional
people who are more or less in
sympathy with labor, as well as
prominent union officials. The
keynote OF the conference will be
to push the national fight for uni
form labor and social legislation.
For years Massachusetts, has
been regarded as the state lead
ing in progressive legislation for
the working people, but now
many believe that Ohio is Justly
entitled to claim that distinction
Besides having the best child To-
Dor law SO far enacted, the Chica-
go conference will undoubtedly
take the employers liability law
just passed by the Ohio Legislature
as the model to be forced to the
frart W nfhnp otafau

old wornout judicial fiction OF
assumed risk and contributors

bility, with which compensation
for deaths and injuries sustained
by the workers were denied. The
new law will not only cause EN-
Iployers of the Buckeye state tc

tainable, but to become as per.
sistent for a compensation act Csc
that they may know exactly what
is required of them) as the work.
ling people.
The point has been raised that
the Ohio law may be declared un.
constitutional by the courts. That
lis hardly probable. For many
months special commission Ia
bored to codify the laws of Ohio
among them the statutes relating
to the working people, and the en-
ployers liability act has been sc
thoroughly intertwined with other
labor laws that have stood all tests
that, should the courts attempt to
destroy the liability act, they
would pull down pretty nearly
the whole structure.
/ Furthermore. when the Ohio SUI
preme court considers the state OF
mind In which the public Is in at
present, and which the court
knows something about. it is un-
likely that that judicial body will
take chances of raising additional
storms about its ears. Court de-
cisions usually follow election ~
turns.

Cured. involving over $4,000 en-
ployes. In 46 cases the boards ar

were only 10 strikes, 8 legal and
8 illegal, or called pending inves-
tigation.
Over and above the large ma
jority of strikes and lockouts pre-
vented by the boards, the friends
of the new law claim that a con-
siderable number of disputes
which might have resulted in
strikes were settled without call
