PRESIDENT BEGINS
POLITICAL ADDRESSES
Defends Supreme Court De-
ciSions in Standard Oil and
American Tobacco Cases.
CHALLENGE FOR BRYAN
Asks Him to Point Out a Case Of
Restraint of Trade Which Is
Not Violation of Law
Under Rulings.

Detroit, Sept. is. 80 President Taft, at
luncheon with the Board Of Commerce here
to-day. made the first of what may be
termed the political speeches OF his six
weeks tour OF the country. He took up
the trusts and clearly outlined his views
concerning them He defended with vigor
the decisions Of the United States Supreme
Court in the Standard oil and the Tobacco
Trust cases, and challenged William Jen-
nings Bryan TO point out what particular
contract or restraint of trade he would
condemn which would not be condemned
within the definition OF the statute as laid
down by Chief Justice White.
Mr. Taft added that persons who do not
understand the decisions and really do not
understand the law, have had great deal
20 say about them. II was not fair to the
court he declared to say that It had read
the word reasonable into the antitrust
statute.
Il am entirely opposed TO an amendment
al the antitrust law" said the President
1t is now valuable government asset and
instrument Tested and brought into bene-
fetal use by twenty years of litigation and
construction by tho highest court, why
should We imperil its usefulness by expert
mentS.
The outcry for amendments, following
The Supreme Courts decisions, the sPresi-
cent said. had resulted IN proposals being
prepared without real understanding Of
The Law. and he added that while this agi-
tation might serve the purpose Of pro-
noting unreasonable" and unreasoninS
discomfort. 1t certainly ought not 10 be
considered seriously.
MIR. Taft referred TO the fact that imme-
diately after the trust decisions were hand
cd down by the Supreme Court Senator
Ia Toilette spread on the public records a
quotation from one OF the Presidents
messages as being at variance with the
rule Of reason laid down by the court
The President asserted that his views, as
expresses IN the message, were in exact
accord with the decisions

THE 10TH N. Y.
II Did It's Full Share Towerd Winning
the Victory at Cedar Creek.

Editor National Tribune: Your his
tory of the Wilderness campaign has
been intensely interesting, and the ar
rival of The National Tribune is eager
ly awaited each week. Perhaps it is
TOO much to expect that in an account
of Cedar Creek each regiment should
receive the mention which it deserves.
but the 18th N. Y, which belonged to
Davis's Brigade. Nineteenth Corps, was
not mentioned, tho each other regi-
ment was spoken of.
The 18th N. Y held the right of
Emory's line, and was the last regi-
ment to receive the rebel attack, but
beId the works until nearly surround
ed, when by very quick movement 1t
formed new line on the other side of
favine short distance to the rear
of the works. So quickly was the move
ment made that few of the regiment
were captured and were soon on their
way to Salisbury Prison, in North Car
DINA.
From that time till the Union army
ceased retreatiRg the regiment was held
wei together and fought steadily. tho
compelled to fall back to new positions
by the constant receding of the Union
line. never heard thar one man of
the regiment ran away, and the regi-
ment was in line and ready for a fight
when Gen. Sheridan arrived. With tine
other regiments of Dayiss Brigade il
was the first to charge and put to flight
the rebel line, and it continued to
charge as fast as the men could run
until the victory was won. It would be
difficult to overestimate the good work
of the Sixth Corps on that battlefield.
and it may be all right TO picture the
sixth Corps as winning the battle, but
the Nineteenth Corps was there and at
least helped to win the victory.-James

TIE Eight-Hour Day in the Navy.

Col. J. NJ. Davis, 1881 frankfort ave-
nue., Philadelphia, Pa, writes that Con-
gress passed an eight-hour law for all
employees of the Government, and this
was placed on the statute books in
1878. The law was violated by heads
of Departments, but when it was cali
ed to the attention of Gen. Grant, he
Immediately issued an order inStructing
everyone under him to enforce the
eight-hour law, which was done. He
aiyo recommended to Congress that an
appropriation be made to pay the navy
yard employees and others for the over
time they had been compelled to work.
Congress did this, and the eight-hour
law was enforced during the remainder
Of Gen. Grants term. When Hayes be-
came President, Secretary of the Navy
Thompson issued an order directing
that all employees should work six
months in the year eight hours and six
months 10 hours, receiving the same
rate of pay for 10 hours as they re-
ceived for eight hours. The employees
of the different navy yards elected dele
gates to Washington to Congress to en-
force the eight-hour law Comrade
Davis was Secretary of this, but after
three different sessions of Congress they
gave up in despair. The bill would pass
the House and then be talked to death
in the Senate. The delegates Mt last
went home and left the whole matter
in the hands of Comrade Davis, who
later went home himself, but kept up
the correspondence with Representa-
tives Harmer and Randall, and thru
their influence Mr.. Chandler, when he
was appointed Secretary of the Navy
issued an order enforcing the eight-hour
law. Then for 10 years Comrade Davis
did all he could, without compensation,
to get Congress to appropriate money to
pay the employees for the overtime they
were compelled to make He consider
ed then, and does now. that it is a debt
due the employees that should be paid.

had been occupied by one company of
the enemy, numbering 10 men, who
were dislodged by Co. of the 4th
Mass. Cav. Having made a very hard
march, he allowed his men to rest and
make coffee. throwing out pickets on
all sides. The enemy soon appeared in
force, and. making furious attack he
held them at bay until about 8 o'clock
when, being nearly out of ammunition,
he determined TO retreat. He was fol-
lowed by the enemy all the way back
and his command badly scattered. He
lost II officers and Ill men. MAJ

sen ATOR SHIVELY.
He Did Good Work for the Snileway
BiIl--A Good Friend of the Vet


Editor National Tribune: I agree with
you that too much praise cannot be CIV
en- Senators Scott, Curtis, Smith, Burn
ham and Dick for their firm support
of the Sulloway bill and their persistent
efforts to have it taken up and passed"
But / want to call your attention to
another member of the Senate Commit
tee on Pensions that you have not mem
toned as being active in the good work,
Benjamin +. Shively, of Indiana.
Senator Shively was prevented from
taking an active part in the matter by
reason of his having just gotten out of
his home from a very serious sick spell
He attended meeting of the commit
tee when the Sulioway bin was to come
up, much against the judgment of some
of his friends, as they thought it was
too risky, but he was determined to be
present at the meeting and vote for the
bill, which he did. Senator Shively will
have the active and sincere support OF
his new colleague, Hon. John w. Kern,
in any and all pension legislation that
will come up in future, and not only on
the pension question, but any and all
moves that are for the good of our COM
rades. Senator Kern has always been
a warm and active friend of the veter-
ans, and you will never find him voting
for them when he has to show his hand
and at the same time talking their bill
to death.
As for Lodge and Crane, they are too
contemplate to discuss. Crane was the
sly mole of the interests, but Lodge
was their open advocate. Is anyone so
silly who would contend for a moment
If Lodges election was pending thar he
would have pursued the course he did?
II so, he should he bored fo.- the sim
pies. That couple is a disgrace to the
good old State of Massachusetts. 1t is
pity the recall was not in vogue in
Massachusetts,, for then the boys would
do apienty to them. Lodge wrote to a
comrade that the Sulloway bill should
have his attention. Well, he was true
to his word; it got his attention" in

They rather welcome the issue, be-
cause they believe it will rebound to

the sage old fellows of the Republican

doubts about the wisdom of the Presi-
dental announcement They say 1t Is
doubtful whether he ought virtually to
take a stand in advance that he Will

Without regard to the merits of re-
vision there is widespread impression
that the country commissioned the
Democratic House of Representatives
to revise the tariff downward. At least

have liked it better, perhaps. if there
had been no extra session and they
could have deferred the task, altho
there are two sides to that. But now
that the President has called an extra
session the Democrats are quite unani-
nous in declaring that they would be
committing political suicide if they did
not revise forthwith.
But apparently on that point there is
to be sharp clash between the execu-
tive and legislative branches. If the
President insists there will be plenty
of ruction at Washington during the
next few months, and it will be carried
Zestfully into the 1912 campaign.
