NEW
LABOR INTERESTS IN NEW
yEPSEI

The attempt which is being made to
convict the Republican government of
New Jersey of lack of progreSsiveneSs,
and especially of disregard of the inter
ests of the workingmen who form so
large d part of the population of the
state, is bound TO fail because of its OBJ
viOus variance with facts of record. 1t
has been a commonplace of political OBJ
servation that New Jersey has for a
dozen years or more been conspicuous for
progress and popular reform in civic
matters, and during that time the Re
publican party has been in control of the
state government. Practically every
step forward which has been made has
been conceived, planned and executed by
Republicans.
An example is to be found in the en-
ployers liability act of last year. There
has probably never been a law on that
subject more carefully prepared with a
view 10 doing exact justice to both en-
ployer and employee. The worst that any
of its critics could say of it was that
it was a short step forward, while at
the same time they conceded that it was
decisive step. Senator Osborne, a
Democrat, pronounced it zone of the
most advanced steps in this country"
and doubted whether the state was
ready for anything more advanced. In
its practical operation the law has
largely accomplished the purposes for
which it was designed and has proved
to be of real value TO workingmen. This
Republican act was the first on the sub
ject ever enacted in New Jersey, and the
credit of it is due 10 the Republican
party.
The same party has also shown that
il does not regard even that excellent
law as finality, but has provided for
careful investigation of the subject by
il competent commission, with a view
TO such further legislation next winter
as may seem desirable. In its platform
the party stands pledged to the passage
of a law fully establishing the principle
TIT an industry ought TO bear the cost
of personal injuries sustained therein.
This record presents a striking and
grateful contrast TO that of the Demo
Gratis when they were in power and will
be rightly appreciated by discriminate
ing voters.

WHERE LABOR VOTE SHOULD GO.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: According to the Democratic cleo
ton forecasters. Mr.. Dix is going to poll
an unusually big labor vote next November.
But there is one particular reason why
the labor vote should be unanimous for the
Republican candidates this year. This rea-
son is that the Democratic leaders have
repeatedly denounced Mr.. Roosevelt for his
criticism of the Supreme Court decision in
the bakeshop case. The effect OF that de-
cision, as Mr.. Roosevelt shows, is TO pre-
vent the State of New York from dealing
adequately with cases where men are re-
quired to work in unhygienic quarters and
under oppressive conditions.
Do the laboring people of New York In
tend, by their votes, to condemn Mr.. RoOse-
welt for criticising that decision? That is
the question.
1 think it would be we'll for the Repub-
lican State Committee to get up a fun
statement OF this case and spread II among
laboring people. w. II. ALLEN.

TRAVELLING MEN FOR STIMSON.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1 notice in your issue of to-day
that the Commercial Travellers League
is holding meetings in New York and that
its motto is Down with Roosevelt!
The men that belong TO this league are
not representative travelling statesmen or
they would never stand for such speech
as that which you report George N. Cline
as making
am a travelling man and have met and
talked with hundred or more statesmen in
New York State since the battle of Sara
toga, and am glad to say that only one
did not believe and glory in the Roosevelt
principles, and I converted him in about
ten minutes.
also found that all the retail merchants
and their clerks and workmen are solid for
Stimson and the Roosevelt ideas of the
square deal in business.
You might tell Mr.. Cline that should the
real travelling men organize as he suggests
they would he working for and not against
Mr.. Roosevelt's ideas. II. H. COOPER.

SCHOOL BOARD INVESTIGATION.

SCHOOL BOARD INVESTIGATION.
The determination of the Board Of
Estimate and Apportionment to inresti-
gate the fiscal conduct of the Board of
Education will be regarded with salts
faction 10y the general public and should
be welcomed by the members of the
board which is to be the object of
scrutiny. The action is not, so far as
we know. prompted by any charges or
any suspicion of malfeasance by the
Board of Education. and it surely is not
inspired by any hostility to the public
schools or by any unwillingness to give
them adequate and even generous sup
port. 1t proceeds from the alleged
inability of the Board of Estimate to
procure by ordinary methods the de-
tailed and complete information con-
corning school finances which it desires
and which it thinks it ought to have.
In that view of the case the investiga-
ton is to be approved. The appropTi-
alton for public instruction is the larg-
est that is made in this city. excepting
possibly that for interest on and re
demption of the public debt. 1t is
larger than the allOtments for police,
fire. health and charities all put to-
gether. and it is the one which can be
counted upon 10 increase regularly every
year. We are not prepared TO deny the
wisdom and rectitude of its administra-
ton. 1t ought, moreover. to be cause
of pride to any community that it
spends largely for education, provided,
of course, that the expenditure is hon
estly and economically made. But when
all that is said the fact remains that the
public and its fiscal officers are entitled
to know just how the school appropri-
alton is expended

A READING OF THE RIDDLE.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: I read in certain papers that some
hitherto 'stanch" Republicans have an
nounced their intention of voting the Dem
ocratic ticket for Governor this year.
When one thus openly opposes the pro-
gressive policies of Stinson and Roosevelt
1 can but draw two conclusions in regard
to him: The man is either proclaiming his
ignorance ana narrow mindedness, or, more
likely. is openly declaring his relation to
the ''noneyed interests"
