NO APOLOGIES FOR
ALLOWING MERGER

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.--Empna-
Sizing his desire to assume all re-
sponsibility for allowing the steel
trust to gobble up the Tennessee Coal
& Iron company in the pahlc days Of
, 1907, Theodore Roosevelt, in a sign
ed editorial in The Outlook today, de-
clares he has not apologies to offer
for his action. The article says:
Nobody need feel either concern
or hope as to whether anything done
In my administration will be dis
covered for the excellent reason that
nothing was hidden. 1t was not my
privilege or in my power TO search
in the hidden domain of motive. My
action was not conditioned upon what
! believed to be the motives actuat-
ing the steel corporation, but upon
the belief that the action they propos-
ed would enormously benefit TIE
general community at that particu-
lar moment.
Whether the chief motive of the
steel corporations action was to alb
SCRIBE the Tennessee Coal & Iron
company, or whether 1t was 70 save a
threatened New York firm from fall
ure and thereby stop the panic, did
not concern me. That borth motives
were in their mind and thought,
still think is possible. Ny concern
was that action should be taken and
the situation saved.
Most people have short memories,
but If they will consider the situation
carefully, they will understand that
1t was not question of saving any
bank or trust company, but of saving
the plain, common people in all parts
of the country from dreadful misery
and suffering. This my action did
cone question which has been put
to me indicated disbelief that my
action was ereally fficient In stop
ping the panic. At that time and
for months thereafter no man would
have ventured to express such disbe-
lief unless he were prepared to be
greeted by the derision Of every man
knowing anything of the actual facts.
The action taken was, in my judg-
ment, the only action that would
stop the panic and 1t certainly was an
enormous and, in all human possibill-
ty, the decisive step that actually
stopped 1t.
"'rhe purchase of the Tennessee
company did not of itself affect the
status of the steel corporation so far
as the Sherman law was concerned.
My idea was to meet the facts as they
We're, not the facts as they might af-
terward become"

PRESIDENT VETOES BILL
LOWERING WOOL TARIFF

WASHINGTON. Aug. 17.--In a
special message to congress. Presi-
dent Taft today. vetoed the wool re-
vision bill, giving as his reason his
belief that information was not now
available showing how the wool rates
should be reduced, and declaring that
no data had been presented TO him
which would satisfy him that the
bill vetoed would accomplish the
proper reduction.
The president asked congress to
wait for 80 days until the report of
the tariff board has been received
and promised that he would then re-
commend such revision of the wool
tariff as seemed necessary according
to this report His veto message de-
clared.
If ever there was schedule
needed consideration, investigation
and elaborate explanations by experts
before its amendment, it Is schedule
x.
No evidence regarding the cost
Iof production here and abroad has
been published and the compromise
amendment in the senate was adopt
ed without reference to or considera-
tion by its proper committee"
Quoting from the republican plat
form of 1908 particularly that clause
tectiyepledging the party to main
tain a protective tariff" the presi-
dent said he was then pledged TO dis
approve the bill. He said:
. 1t is moderately estimated that
100000 American people would be
injuriously affected by any ill-adyis-
ed Impairment of the wool and wool
en- industries. If l did net guard, so
far as l can, the industries of the
country by giving them the benefit
of a living measure of protection and
business disaster ensued, would not
be discharging my duty. If | do not
recommend a revision of excessive
duties to this extent, / shall fail in
my duty to the consuming public"
There is no public exigency re-
quiring the revision of schedule X
In August with inadequate informa-
tion, the president declares.
December was fixed by both par
ties in the last congress for the sub
mission Of adequate information re-
garding schedule X. with a view tC
amendment.
Certainly the public welfare
would be better conserved by delay.
Ing action for 80 days In order tc
do justice to proper reduction
than by bluntly enacting a law now
which might seriously iniure the in
dustries involved, as well as the bus
mess OF the country generally"

LONDON, Aug. IA crisis in the
labor situation here today is immi-
nent. Representatives of the railroad
managers and employees, Ramsey Nc
Donald, labor leader in parliament,
includes among the latter, held all

worst emergency. already has mass

cabinet again met in extraordinary
session and endorsed the policy of
holding the troops in readiness.
Differences between employers and
workmen on the street cars and sub
way lines in London have been set
tied but 1t is thought that the men
will go out if general railway strike
is ordered.
About 175,000 is the estimated
number of railway employees. Sir
Guy Granet, manager of the Midland
railroad, declared he did not believe
that more than 80 per cent would
strike. He said his road expected to
