NEW YORK SPEECH.

New York. jan 23.-"Two great par
allel movements are today in posses
sion of the public mind. the Conserva-
ton movements and The Progressive
movement" said Clifford Pinchot, in in
PRODUCING Senator La Toilette at the
Progressive Republican meeting at
Carnegie Hall. New York. last night,
Each is so simple, so sound, and so
certain to prevail that IL Is but natural
to find them both taking their rise
from the same great principle, the
principle of making the best use OF
what we have for the general welfare
now and hereafter.
"The Progressive movement is the
effort TO apply in practice the propo-
sition, long accepted In theory but in
facts denied, that the general welfare
stands above and beyond privilege,
profit. and party
1T is the general welfare which de-
mands that the natural resources shall
be conserved. that industrial slavery
shall cease that the burden of indus
trial accidents shall not fall on the
widows and the orphans that the
working day shall be OF decent length.
that taxation shall not fall heaviest
ON the poor, that justice and not tech
nicality shall control the courts of
law. that the representatives of the
people shall obey the people and not
the bosses. and that the special in
terest shall be driven out OF politics.
What the general welfare demands.
the Progressive movement proposes TO
get for the people.
"The Progressive movement Is an ef-
fort to make this country the best pos
sIble place for them, women and chill
dren to live and work in. I'm its es-
sence il is a great moral movement. IL
recognizes that the rights Of the poor
are more sacred than the privileges OF
the rich, and that human welfare is
better worth working and fighting and
living for than property and profits.
The Progressive movement is
stronger than any party, greater than
all It's leaders. higher than personal
motives or animosities, larger than
anything except the whole people. for
Il believes In the Golden Rule and Is
founded imperishably upon the moral
law"

Detroit, jan 23.-United States Dis

case, which is scheduled to come up

unreasonable or undue. The immuni-
