punches were weak. and he backed
away steadily. Near the end Of the
round l sent in two heavy punches,

again and reached for his chin, intend

BAIT FOR SUCKERS.
Taft Throws Out a Fresh Batch for
Labor to Bite At.

The Republican party at the last
session of congress again exhibited
its deep and sincere interest in the
general welfare of the working men
and women by adding important
enactments to it's already long rec
ord of legislation on this subject.
The Republican party recognized
the necessity of reducing the dan
ger under which hundreds of thous-
ands of miners work by creating
the Bureau of Mines
No more important legislation in
the interest Of human life has ever
been enacted by congress than the
laws of the recent session giving
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion ampler powers to define the
needed safety appliances for the
prevention of accidents to employ
es and passengers, and, after hear
ing, to require their adoption by
interstate railways. The employ
ers' liability act was perfected by
needed amendment.
With this plea President Taft ex
poets to secure the continuance of thu
Republican party in the favor of tn,
American working class.

Chicago, Dec, 16.-TCol. Theodore

strike here. Following the deaper-
ate rioting of yesterday, one man
was killed and two so severely IN
jured that It is said today they cam

ficials are striving to bring the
strike to an end. The situation al
the city oficlals see It, is desperate
The reckless fighting spirit dis
played by the strikers which has
been manifested in nearly. every con-
tact with the police and which wis
at high tide yesterday is creating a
crisis with which the police cannot
deal.
The union leaders realize the
gravity of the situation and al
though they declare the blame ii
with the employers who refuse TO
treat with their striking operatives,
they are anxious to end the contro-
versy. The services of mediator,
the ythink, would be the best meth
cd of bringing the strikers and the
employers together and they are
working toward that end today
Colonel Roosevelt probably
could meet the employers here"
said one of the union leaders. "If
they will not discuss the troubles
with us. they probably wcaId talk
TO him. Ie believe that either Pres
ident Taft, Roosevelt or Mitchell
could end the struggle. Unless
something is done soon condition
