against the amendment, which was other

Many good speeches were made during

Reply From President.

In reply to this telegram the President
Immediately set down and dictated the
following dispatch, which was made pub
lie at the White House last evening:
wv. s. Carter, President Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Firemen and Engineers,
st. Paul, Mimi:
Your dispatch of June % received, in
which you say that reports today indi-
cate that / favor using the people S
money to prosecute labor in their efforts
to better conditions and you protest
against such a policy. 1. presume you
refer to the proposition now before Con-
gress that money appropriated for fiscal
year 1911 for enforcement Of antitrust
laws and acts to regulate commerce shall
no part of it be expended in the prose-
cution of conspiracies in the nature of
bOycOttS to increase wages, shorten hours
or better the condition Of labor. The
Supreme Court decided that such a boy
colt is violation of the Sherman anti
trust law and this proposal is an attempt
to withhold the means Of prosecuting that
law when 1t is violated by q particular
class to be made privileged.
Il am entirely opposed to such class leg
islation. If 1t was proposed to amend the
language Of the Sherman antitrust law
itself so as somewhat to narrow its scope
that would present a proper question for
consideration, but so long as the present
antitrust law remains upon the statute
books an attempt to modify its enforce
ment so as to render immune any particu-
lar class of citizens, rich or poor, en-
ployers or employees, Is improper leGis-
latiOn and in my judgment ought to be
opposed by your brotherhood. The labor
ing man and the trade uniOnist, If un-
derstand him, asks only equality before
the law. Glass legislation and unequal
privilege, though expressly in his favor,
will in the end work no benefit to him or
to society. w. II. TAFT

President Taft came cut frankly and
lation and for the equality of all men
under the law of the land In answering
a telegram from w. s. Carter president
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
mend and Engineers, which is in session
at st. Paul, the President made plain his
unalterable opposition to the amendment
to the sundry civil bill, adopted in the
House on motion of Representative
Hughes, a New Jersey democrat, forbid
ding the Department Of Justice to use
any OF the money appropriated for prose-
cutions under the antitrust law in the
prosecution of boycotts or other similar
movements conducted by organized labor.
AS result of the Presidents firm stand
and the active work Of Chairman Taw
ney of the appropriations committee. the
House yesterday reversed itself and by
a vote of 13S to 100 agreed to the Senate
amendment striking this obnoxious pro-
vision from the bill.
When the sundry civil bill was first
considered in the House Mr. Hughes sue
ceeded in having this amendment adopt

President Gets Busy.

For a time it looked as if this labor eX-
emption proposition would result in pro-
longing the session Of Congress for some
time. But President Taft got busy,
Chairman Tawney-who used to be whip
of the HOuse-worked with might and
main. and yesterdays action by the
House. agreeing to the Senate amend
ment eliminating the labor exemption,
was the result.
President Carter of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive F'iremen and Engineers sent
this telegram to the President:
Press reports of today indicate that
prosecute labor in their efforts to better
! conditions. The 1913 delegates attending
.he twelfth biennial convention of the

Sends for Representatives.

In addition to sending this emphatic
statement Of his position to President
Carter, President Taft bent every en-
ergy toward the defeat Of the Hughes
amendment. He threw his entire in
| fuence into the fight, sending for sew
! eral score of members to come to the
White House and urging them to defeat
| the class legislation proposed. The
| President declared frankly to these men
| that if 1t cost him the support of every
| labor organization in the country he
would not approve of such a provision as
| the Hughes amendment going on the
statute books. The laboring man. he
believed. asked only equality before the
law and was entitled to that and to no
more.
| But despite the earnest manner in
| which he worked to defeat the Hughes
amendment. the President was not at all
certain that victory would result so soon,
and he made no attempt to conceal his
great satisfaction when informed that by
| a vote of 1873 to 1870 the House had re-
| coded.

Committee of the A. IL.
Expresses Indignation

INDIGNATION was expressed by the men,
bers of the executive council OF the
American Federation Of Labor at the ses-
sion of the council yesterday afternoon,
when information was received that the
House of Representatives had yielded
its proviso to protect the organizations
of labor and the individual workers
against prosecution In their efforts to
improve their material and social con-
dition."
Strong language was employed in speak
ing of the action of the House. 1t was
termed "a betrayal of the rights and In
terests Of the workers of the country.
in the debates upon this subject 1t was
held that the proViSo. even II retained,
would be of doubtful benefit. The House
proviso is of an important character, both
in effect and influence.
IAN industrial dispute with employers
for better wages, shorter hours ana I'M
proved conditions of employment may be
and has been the basis for criminal IN
dictments and civil suits" it was further
stated.
Statement Is Issued.
In statement issued by the council
it is said that "a few years ago seventy
Ave workmen were indicted in New Or
leans charged with violation of the anti
trust law of 1890. the grounds of 1t being
that they acted in unison or conspiracy
to aid their fellow-workmen by strike.
That the cases were not prosecuted was
simply a matter of discretionary direc-
ton Of the administration under Presi-
dent Roosevelt. A few months ago a
number of farmers were sentenced to
various terms of Imprisonment under the
same act because they acted In unison
or in conspiracy to maintain decent
price Of their own products.

Refers to Sitomer Case.

"A suit has just been instituted by the
A. Sitomer Company against Mrs. Bel
mont and others. including the officers OF
the Shirt Waist Makers and National
Ladies' Garment Workers Union, their
officers and members. This suit is brought
in the federal courts under the provisions
Of the Sherman antitrust law, as inter-
preted by the United States Supreme
Court in the hatters case. The shirt
waist makers refused to do the work of
the Sitomer Company. on the ground that
the girls were ready to work for the Sit
omer Company, but they were on strike
In large number of shops to remove the
terrible. brutal conditions obtaining
throughout the trade, and the girls re-
fused to work on shirt waists which other
firms in which the strike was on sent in
to Sitomer Company to be made by the
girls in that factory.
The retention of the House proviso in
the sundry civil appropriation bill" the
statement concludes, will not only pre-
vent the criminal prosecution of work
men engaged in the normal activities to
protect and promote their rights and in
terests, but 1t will also be declaratory in
character, tending toward a solution of \
situation which now practically outlaws
the associated effort of the workers in de-
tense of their personal rights and inter-
ests."
Views of Frank A. Kidd.
Frank A. Kidd, former president OF
Columbia Typographical Union. who sue
cessfully opposed the efforts of Samuel
Gompers to take labor into politics in the
last presidential campaign in support of
William Jennings Bryan, speaking today
Of the Hughes amendment said:
"Exempting a portion of American citi-
Gems from the operation of a general law
Is repugnant to the average American
sense Of sovereignty, and would newt
ably lead to class distinctions that in the
end would be destructive of government
by all the People.
The best thought of our industrial
citizenship is opposed to either seeking
or accepting special privileges at the
hands of the legislative or executive de-
partments, but is content to rest It's
cause upon the broad ground of abso-
lutte equality before the law with every
other citizen in the land.
The exception sought in the Hughes
amendment is a look toward socialism
that workingmen in this country do not
favor, in my opinion.

You may think you don't
want motor car. But there
ism any question about your
needing one.
There is difference between
wanting a thing and needing it.
If you need car you are pay
ing for it. Paying in the time
you lose that a car would save
you. In the opportunities that
get away. In the fresh air and
recreation a car would give, but
which now you do not get.
Whatever we really need we
pay for, whether we actually
own it or not. You might get
along without an overcoat this
winter, but you would pay for
one just the same. You would
pay with discomfort and colds.
If you use telephones, tele-
graph, wireless, express trains,
electric lights, trolley cars, add

Il ,apers, typewriters and

you need all automobile.

developed to keep pace with the

In the evening he may use
his car for a turn around the

The man with a motor car
lives fuller life than if he didn't
have one. He has more expert
ences-more sensations. He
does more things. He has a
wider circle of interest and in
huence. He lives twice as long
in the same length of time as the
man who hasn't a car. Long
life is not a question of years so
much as it is of experiences and
accomplishments. Yet motor
