Grow Out Of Inquiry
Into Boston Strike

BOSTON, July 2S.-Having gained what
they look upon as technical victory
before the state board Of concilliation
and arbitration, the striking trolley men
Of the Boston Elevated Railway COM
pany today presented their alleged griev-
ances to the grand jury at the invita-
ton of District Attorney Joseph c. Hell
letter. The district attorney also sum-
moned before the grand jury the presi-
dent of the elevated, General William A.
Bancroft and two of the directors, James
Prendergast and James l.. Richards.
The evidences was sought in connec-
ton with the institution of charges of
coercion and perjury made against some
of the roads division superintendents.
In its report issued last night, the State
Board Of Cancellation, and Arbitration
held that the strikers were justified tn
believing that the discharge Of more
than 200 Of their fellows was due to the
activity Of the men in connection with
the forming of union. The division
superintendents in their testimony before
the board denied that the discharges
were because of union activity.
Mr.. Helletier said that the grand Jury
hearing was held under statute which
prohibits the coercion Of any employe
from joining labor union. The investi-
cation Is expected to continue for several

Percy Favors British
Position on Tolls for
the Panama Canal

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Percy
in speech In which he opposed free
Panama canal tolls today declared the
United States undoubtedly made a hard
bargain" in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
but that the sense Of national responsi-
bility should prevent this country from
breaking its contract
Mr. Percy said that Great Britain had
given up certain rights under the Clay
ton -Bulwer treaty, and that without such
action the United States would have been
unable to build the canal.
Senator Bristow retorted that the Clay
tom -Bulwer treaty always had been vio-
lated by Great Britain and had practically
ceased to be operative before the Hay
Pauncefote treaty was made.
Mr.. Percy contended there should be no
abrogation OF the present treaty even II
The Hague court should pass upon 1t and
give decision either against or In favor
Of the United States.

TAFT WILL FAVOR REPEAL
President to State His Position on

STILL ADVOCATES PRINCIPLE
Executive ,Beiievss United ststey
Should Not Continue to Offer
Fsssas that Witch Cnnada Re-
fuses to Accept. tG

WARRINGTON, July 23--President TAft
has Indicated to several western senators
who were active opponents Of Canadian
reciprocity that he would favor a repeal
Of the act
Some Of those with whom the president
has talked think he may send message
to congress on the subject or will state
his position in his speech Of acceptance
when committee of the Chicago con-
vention notifies him on August Of his
nomination. Senate leaders say that SO
far the president has had no direct COM
municatlon with the finance committee
on the subject nor sent any communities
tion to the committee saying he favors
repeal Of the law. d
Mr.. Taft will not withdraw his own
support of Canadian reciprocity as a
principle, it is understood. but will take
the position that the United States should
not continue an offer that Canada refuses
to accept The reciprocity law continues
In effect In the United States notwith-
standing Canada's refusal to endorse It
Senator's McCumber Hepburn. Gronna
and others have urged repeal and an
amendment was put on the steel tariff
bill recently passed by congress and now
in conference providing for such action.
1t is asserted among western senators
that II any tariff measure is passed in
the senate this week an amendment also
will be incorporated for the repeal of the
reciprocity law. In case any one of these
bills reaches the president and is vetoed
1t is expected he will make clear in his
veto message the fact that he would ap-
prove measure to repeal the reciprocity
law.
