WILSON IN SPEECH

SPOKANE, WASH Special
Sharp reply TO Governor Wilson for
his recent criticism OF the Progressive
party platforms advocacy Of Federal
law for "A minimum wage scale was
made by Colonel Roosevelt in 4 speech
here Monday.
The ex-President stoutly defended
his argument that the government
could legally take the corporations
under control in regulating the hours
OF employment ana FIXING the lowest
wage. The Colonel declared that Gov
ernor Wilson'S insistence that such a
revolutionary scheme could not be
put into effect is folly"
Roosevelt made the point that if
Wilson's argument is to hold then it
must be conceded that the Interstate
Commerce Commission has been a
failure.
Il don't believe any one doubts the
real value of that commission" he
added. Through the commission the
government has put into effect some
substantial reforms. 1T can by exer-
clsinS that same authority do more"
