Ada, Ohio, June 3-President Taft
in an address to the graduating class
Of the Ohio Northern university here
today gave a word of advice to the
young men and women. and discussed
at some length the opportunities and
limits of the various professions and
business pursuits.
The law, ministry, medicine, teach
ing, journalism, farming and modern
Industrial conditions all came in for
share Of the treatment in his re-
marks.
In discussing journalism the presi-
dent took occasion tb denounce muck
raking" and expressed the belief that
that unjust phase of newspaper ac-
tivity soon would be thing of the
past. He praised Theodore Rooseyelt's
crusade against the muckrakers in
this connection.
Socialism was denounced by the
president but was referred to as one
Of the problems thu. vill4have7 to be
considered by the next. generation.
"The conduct of the defense Of
criminals in this country and ex-
tremes to which counsel deem them
selves justified in going to saving
their clients from the just judgment
of law have much to do with the dis
graceful condition in which we find
its administration said the presi-
dent. Continuing he said:
"The awakened moral conscience
Of the country can find no better OBJ
ject for its influence than in making
the lawyers understand that their OBJ
legation to their clients is only to see
that their clients legal rights are
protected and that they need not and
ought not to lose their own identity
as officers of the law in the cause of
their clients and recklessly resort to
every expedient to win cause. be-
lieve that there is no escape from the
evil tendencies to which I have re-
ferred except Of inducing the bar to
cleanse itself of those who in the in
terest of their clients forget their OBJ
legation as attorneys to the court and
their duties as citizens.

Ready for Action.

Washington, June 3.-The city Of
Nanking, China, has been posted with
placards, inciting the people to the
destruction of foreign life and prop
erty. The feeling in several of the
provinces of China is still giving the
authorities much concern. United
States Minister Calhoun at Peking in
cablegram to the state department
transmits a message from the United
States consul at Nanking that the
United States ship New Orleans is
there and is prepared with the Ger
man, British and Japanese warships
to land considerable force II found
necessary to protect the foreign con-
Sulates.

Platform Of Accomplishment.
President Taft believes that the Re-
publican party, by the end Of the
pre1ent session, will be able to go be-
fope tho people on Q platform of ac-
complement and that 1t will have no
reason to fear the tariff issue.
Copies Of speeches made by Presi.
dent Taft. Vice President Sherman,
Chairman Payne, Of the ways and
means committee; Representatives
Fordney. Mccall, and Longworth are
being sent all over the country by the
Republican managers. Voters are be-
Ing asked to read these, 80 that they
may know exactly what the tariff bill
accomplished. They are being asked,
moreover. simply to investigate the
matter for themselves, to study the
tariff law, to make inquiries as to its
effect. not taking the truth of the at
tacks against the bill for granted.
All the congressman who are fight
ing for reelection are making q care
ful study Of the tariff act, These in
clude Democrats and insurgents, as
we'll as the regular Republicans. It
is by common consent, apparently,
tnat the tariff has been accepted as
the main issue Of the campaign.
The insurgents will appeal to the
voters in their district to return them
to congress on the ground that in op-
posing the tariff act they were work.

Democratic Course Plain.
The Democratic course will be less
complicated. All the congressman on
the Democratic side have been advised
by the Democratic managers to make
the tariff the principal issue. Here,
the Democrats say, is an issue that
appeals directly to the pockets of the
people. The Republicans will seize
the economy issue and will be able
to back it up with accomplishments,
while the Democrats will assert what
they would try to do If they obtained
control. So the tariff issue will be
deemed by the Democratic managers
to be the finest argument at their
command.
Realizing that congress may not ad-
journ until the middle of July, all
factions are already at work direct
Ing their fight from Washington. Dem
ocrats, Republicans. and insurgents
are sending out tons of mail matter
to the voters of their districts.
President Taft is expected to make

all the Republicans. Statistics show.

WILL INVESTIGATE
judiciary Committee of House VIII
Probe Employers Liability.

Washington, June 3.-Action was
taken today by the judiciary commit
tee Of the house looking to the ap-
pointment Of commission "for the
purpose of making a thorough investi-
cation Of the subject of employers
liability and workmen's compensa-
tion." A resolution for the creation
Of such commission was reported by
Representative Moon of Pennsylvania
for the judiciary committee and is
based upon a bill introduced by Rep
resentative SABBATH of Illinois, which
the committee had under consideration
for several weeks.
The proposed commission will be
required to report to the president not
later than Nov. /, 1911. a basis for
legislation to carry out q scheme of
or death of workmen. This plan
mutually was favored by employers
and employees who appeared before the
committee in connection with hearings
upon the SABBATH bill. The personnel
of the commission would be two mem-
bers Of the senate. two members Of the
house and two other persons to be
selected by the president.
If report should be made by the
proposed commission in conformity
with statements which were made to
the judiciary committee. 1t is expected
that legislation of radical character
might result.
The SABBATH bill was designed to
revolutionize the present laws on this
subject and to make the compensation
for injuries to workmen a definite and
fixed charge against the business of
the employer. as is. now the case in
ENGLAND and other FOREIGN countries,

HISTORY OFLOCAL
LABOR UNIONS
THE WATERS UNION

discharge any employe who should
, dare to join the union, but since
they all joined, he was unable to
carry out his threat. Fred Carda-
none, the present business agent of
the union. was working for Wilson
then. Joe Sheldon, now retired from
the trade, was one of the leading
spirits in the organization.
The greatest difficulty encoun-
tered by the union was with it's
business agents. During the early
years as many as three of the
agents at different times proved
traitors to the cause Of unionism
and took French leave with the
funds of the union in their pos
session.
At the outset the wages were
$1,000 and $11.50 for second class
and first class houses, respectively.
The shift was 10 hours. The first
raise achieved was that of 81 a
shift. This was secured without
difficulty with the employers. Then
the walters secured the present
scale of SIS for first and S14 for
second class houses, for shifts of
10 hours, and $3.50 for the short
shifts of six hours. This was an in
crease of $3.50 week all around
The union began it's present era
of prosperity about 1907. The mem
bership has greatly increased, there
being $50 in good standing at the
present time. Its new hall and
club rooms at 722 First avenue are
now self supporting and the organ,
ization has money in the bank.
