Further evidence of how the
multi-milionaire wooden trust
magnates protect their EN-
ployes in return for sufficient pro.
lection to allow them to over
charge 10000, 1000 American con-
sumers on every article of cloth
they buy, is revealed in the ar
rest at Lawrence, Mass, of Will
M. Wood, head of the Wooden
Trust.
Mr.. Wood is charged with plac-
ing dynamite in the homes of his
So, S6 and 81 a week foreign mill.
workers in an attempt to discred-
it their cause while they were on
a strike last winter as a protest
against reduction of wages.
Mr.. Woods arrest is worthy of
the attention of every man, wo-
man and child in the country who
wears woolens. Because of the
fact that Mr.. Wood and his fell
low wooden trurt magnates con-
tribute heavily to Republican
campaign funds, Congress has
been in the habit of placing the
tariff on woolens high enough to
keep out all competition, so that
the wooden trust coul / be free to
charge any price they desired, up
to the limit of the ability of the
people to pay. The result is that
Americans are paying from thir-
ty to one hundred per cent more
for wooden clothing and blankets
than the resident of Great Britain
pays.
The story of the career of Mr..
Wood provides a curious para.
dox. He is the Oppessor of $780,
600 miserable New England tex
tile workers, a few years ago he
was one of them. In his youth
he felt the sting of hunger him
self, but now he is pitiless IN his
thoughts of his employees. He
has grown enormously rich, but
declares that fIom 81 to 80 a
week is enough for those who la,
Dor in his mills.
1t is SAID of many captains of
industry that they are ignorant
of the conditions of the workmen
who earn their fortunes for them
that if they knew the distress of
their employees they would seek
to remedy it. Not SO with Wood.
He knows. Their distress he
sees. Their cries he hears.
Woods father was "A Portuguese
Jew emisrant. He labored in
cotton mill and died of tubercu.
losis-a disease common to cotton
and wool spinners. The fathers
name is believed to have been
Alphons0 LeHair or LaVair.
When the wooden mill employ
ees, which are composed of AZ
different nationalities. most of
whom can not speak in English,

TAFT WINS ON FIRST TEST OF STRENGTH

The hrSt test OF strength between Taft and Roosevelt in the Re-
publican National Convention resulted in a comfortable margin Of
So votes in favor o. the former, through the election OF United States
Senator Eihu Root, of New York, temporary chairman of the con.
venton over Governor McGovern, of Wisconsin, with 10 votes cast for
two other men who were not placed in nomination. This result was
accomplished in a peaceful manner, after the efforts of Roosevelts
representatives TO have the temporary roll OF delegates submitted by
the National Committee superseded by a roll of their own choosing
had been declared out of order, and very properly, too, by Chairman
Rosevater of the National Committee. So W have the preininarics
of this great contest proceeding in an orderly fashion and happily
free from any of the rough house performances that were promised
by the belicose adherents OF the pugnscious contestant. And, it is
to be hoped, this presages a continued dignity Of procedure of the
future deliberations and acts Of the body.
1t is quite plain that the object Of the Roosevelt forces in Sc
Letting Governor McGovern as their candidate for temporary chair
man was to enuce some definite expression from the twentysx votes
of Wisconsin pledged TO La Toilette. As only thirteen OF that number
voted for McGovern, and the remaining half voted for two candidates
who we're not named, the ruse was not entirely successful. Nor does
the vote indicate that the thirteen who voted for McGovern lean
towards anyone except the governor of their state for a compliment
airy honor.
The Roosevelt delegates must have been under a great strain
of repression, but they can now do nothing of a violent character
until the regularly appointed committee on credentials shall have
canvassed the work of the National Committee and reported their
decisions to the convention. While the peaceful proceedings of yes
terday may be the calm that precedes the outburst of the storm, it is
possible that the preconvention buster of the Roosevelt hosts has
been nothing but Falstafian swashbucking, and that instead of turn
ing the convention hall into a shambles. as they promised TO do. We
may find them Loyalty accaming the choice of the convention, as all
good, true Republicans are bound to do.

SWINGING A NATIONAL coNVEN-
TION


TON.
One Of the humors of our political
machinery has been the %quadrenn.al
effort 20 control the nominations OF
the two great paroles by organized
rooters in the gallery.
This is an age OF system and
efficiency. The idea OF thoroughly
systematiz.ng applause AT a national
convention first showed itself at the
Democratic convention in 1892. There
the Cleveland supporters "hollered'
for - minute by the watch.
Like any stimulant. the doses Of
applause had TO be steadily increased
In 1904 one Of the roofing parties
shouted for 3s minutes a, the Repub-
lican convention. which made II neces-
sary for the gallery crowd 70 howl -
minutes az the Democratic convention
thar followed. In 1905 the record was
again run up 20 a. minutes.
The idea that the deliberations Of
q historic body affecting the daily
bread and hu ter OF the nation. should
be dominated by a frenzied mob. many
OF whom mas be hired At day wages.
has always aroused an alarmed pro
test There need not be much anxiety
on that score Probably the principal
effect o. n prolonged roofing Is 20
sioken the delegates opposed TO the
rooters. and make them sven more
determined in their own position.
The one bad feature % the methods
OF holding these conventions. Is that
there is No chance for debate Only
. man With a steam caliope voice
can make himself heard It ought 10
be possible FOR any delegate 20 ex.
press his views so that the whole
country will ever after wish they had
