WILSON ATTACKS
TAFT AND T. R.
Labor Leader in the House Flags
the Records of Two
Candidates.

Col Roosevelt and President Taft were
denounced as the foes OF labor in a
campaign speech by Chairman Wilson,
Democrat, OF Pennsylvania, OF the House
Committee on Labor, in the House yes
terday. The speech, which is an appeal
by the Democratic party for the labor
vote. is entitled. Labor and the Demo-
Gratis"
Democrats said Mr.. Wilson. have in
dicated during the last Of Congress that
they are labor's real political friends.
and are prepared to pass beneficial leg
islation for working men.
1T seems strange" continued the
speaker, but. nevertheless, true, that
Theodore Roosevelt, who. for months,
has been parading himself as the friend
of the common people. was the first
President 10 issue an executive order
denying wage-workers employed by the
government the right to petition Con-
gress for redress of grievances This gag
order was broadened by President Taft u
The speaker stated that Gov. Wilson S
speeches on the labor question had been
garbled and misstated. He declared that
the New Jersey executive had q more
enviable record than that of Col. Roose-
Welt whom he described as having never
suggested any beneficial legislation, but
contented himself with promises. He
added that President Taft since his in
junction. which was issued against strik-
ing working men. has never had a SYM
pathetic understanding Of the needs and
rights of American labor"

COMMERCE COURT
Is MAIN ISSUE
Congress Will Not Insist on Tenure
Clause Of Legislative Appro-
priation Bill.

House Democrats say IL Is their pur-
pose to fight President Taft to the I'm
ish on the Commerce Court provision OF
the legislative appropriation bill. The
President has made II known that he
will veto the measure. He objects to
the legislation that provides for the
abandonment of the Commerce Court
and Is opposed to the amendment lin
iting the tenure OF government clerks
in Washington to seven years.
In his veto message the President will
emphasize his objections to the seven
year tenure proposition. Democrats have
been told that the President, as a mat
ter Of political expediency, will subordi-
nate the Commerce Court issue. having
been advised by his managers, so the
proceedings pending against Judge Rob
ert W. Archibald this question should
not be given prominence.
The Democrats will not battle with the
President over the seven-year tenure
amendment. They will promptly drop
the amendment. having reached the con-
clusion that II was bad politics to pro-
pose such legislation on the eve Of a
campaign. But IL the Democrats carry
out their present programme they will
not back pedal SO far as the Commerce
Court is concerned This provision of
the bill abolishes the court. transfers the
judges to the various circuits, and au-
thorizes the sale of the furniture and
other effects of the court. This Ian
guage will be stricken from the bill.
The measure. as re-reported. will make
no mention Of the court, and as the
court cannot get along without funds the
Democrats will accomplish their purpose
by beating the devil around the stump.
Whether the President will veto the
bill as 1t is returned to him is a ques-
tion that does not concern the Democrats
at this time. They express the opinion.
however, that II Mr.. Taft again vetoes
the bill out OF regard for the Commerce
Court It will be a bad thing for the
President

LITTLE DICKERING
OYER PANAMA BILL
Measure Expected to Lose None Of
Progresive Features in
Conference.

The House yesterday promptly disa-
greed to the Senate amendments to the
Panama Canal bill. and the measure has
now gone to conference to be whipped
into Its final form. 1t IL acknowledged
by those who are opposed to the meas
ure that the bill will lose none Of its
progressive features in the tinkering by
the conferees of the two Houses. As q
matter of fact railroads will be lucky
If the bill emerges from conference with
no more fangs than It carries at pres
ent.
The House Democrats voted for an alb
solute prohibition against any railroad
holding stock In a competing water trans
portation line. and the Senate con-
ferees viii have a fight to limit this
prohibition to ships that pass through
the Panama Canal. and to leave II dis
cretfonary with the Interstate Commerce
Commission to say whether or not other
railroad lines shall be compelled to d.
vorce their steamship holdings II is the
belief, however. that the House conferees
will finally accept the Senate's modifica-
tons Of the Houses sweeping prohibi-
ton.
II was learned yesterday that the
amendment empowering the Interstate
Commerce Commission to decide
whether or not a railroad shall be
compelled to divorce Its steamship
holdings was really introduced into
the Senate as a means of preventing the
adoption of the House provision abso
lutely prohibiting ownership of a COM
peting steamship line by a railroad.
This amendment. II developed, was
drawn by Senator Root. Of New York.
although introduced by Senator Bourne
of Oregon. The opponents Of the
House provision fell back upon this
amendment as the only means of pre-
venting the adoption Of a radical pro-
gramme proposed by the House.
Some light was thrown yesterday upon
one or two provisions Of the bill which
were not generally understood Friday.
One of these was an amendment offered
by Senator Reed of Missouri. which pro-
vides that no ship engaged In the coast
wise trade shall be permitted to enter
the canal IL controlled by any company
that is operating in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law. The Reed amend
ment gives the courts of the United States
power to determine whether or not such
company is operating in contravention Of
the Sherman act. There was more or
less haziness in the Senate yesterday over
the real purpose OF this amendment, but
Il was learned that the object which Sen
ator Reed had in mind was to provide an
expeditions means of determining viola
tions of the Sherman antitrust law COM
mitted by the shipping interests. The
men who are backing this amendment
say that its present wording Is unsatis-
factory. and that II will be changed In
conference SO as to make its purpose
more explicit.

COLONEL GIVES
HIS SOLUTION
OF RACE ISSUE
Continued from PAGE One.

cago. those who had opposed me came
to see that I was right. and We took
solid stand in the convention. The break
that threatened was ayerted. Now We
have a party that, unlike the other par
ties. has a well-defined attitude for de-
cency in politics.
1T may be that the stand we took
will cost us some votes among certain OF
the colored men in the South, but we
are sure to attract to our cause men
who believe that the black can best be
helped by putting him on his honor and
upon his own footing.
The Democratic and Republican par
ties are in a false position respecting
the colored race. They did not dare to
do what the Progressive party did. and
what every man who loves decency in
political life knows We are striving to
attain.
Says He Is a Real Leader.
In the stand have taken have
followed out my theory of what a leader
should be. Mr.. Taft is not a leader. Mr..
Wilson is not a leader. I felt that as
the leader of the third party, I must
take the initiative in the race problem.
and I did it. If I had shrunk from 1t
/ would consider myself lacking in the
courage that a leader must show.
IF our party Is successful and 1 am
not prophesying anything as to what the
outcome OF the fight is to be-people may
say. in six months. that We have failed
to do for the black what We aimed at.
Very well, you cannot accomplish much
in six months or year with this kind
of problem. 1t may take ten years be-
fore We can show actual results. But, in
the meantime, we will be fighting with
a definite purpose and eventually We
will prove our theory is right
The former President plunged into an
analysis of the great party moves since
the civil war.
Criticises Bryan and Watson.
It's the same with Bryanism as with
Watson and Populism," he declared.
Whatever they have advanced for i'm
proving our political condition they have
invariably spoiled by fanaticism. II was
free silver with Bryan, while Watson has
had equally fanatic ideas. In every con-
spicuous move in recent times. whatever
has been obviously good has been vitiated
by some quack doctrine. Our party has
steered clear of everything savoring of
tomfoolery. We go before the country
with platform that in no hesitating
fashion tackles the burning problems and
suggests solutions that are capable OF
being worked out No other party to-
day stands in that relation to the peo-
pie"
Mr. Bryan accuses you of having

REFUSES SUFFRAGE SPEECH.
smoot Objects to Its Being Printed
ms n Public Document.

The cause Of woman suffrage received
a check in the United States Senate yes
terday when objection was made to the
publication as public document OF Rep
resentativc Taylor's Colorado speech on
woman suffrage. Senator Ashurst of
Arizona made the request. saying that
the question of woman suffrage was
coming up before the voters in his State
this fall.
Senator Smoot, chairman CT the Com
mittee on Printing, leaped to his feet
and objected vigorously. He besed his
objection on the ground that it was a
dangerous precedent to have speeches of
Senators and Representatives, made on
the noor Of the Senate and House, print
ed by the thousand for distribution in
various States at the expense of the
government. He said that IL such a
practice becomes common. e second gov
ernment printing office would be needed.

ASKS AID FOR INDIANS.
President Says They Need Medical
Assistance.

In a special message to Congress yes
terday President Taft urged the imme-
diate passage OF the law appropriatinG
so55,s50 for The establishment OF a spe-
cial medical service for tho treatment
of Indians. He declared that 5000 In
dams in the United States are almost
wholly devoid of any medical attention,
and that the race is being ravaged by
disease. What little medical attention
that Is provided comes from the reserva-
ton agencies. he pointed out, which are
without facilities to cope with the stu
alton.
AS guardians OF the welfare of the
Indians" the President said. Tt is our
immediate duty to give to the race a
fair chance for an unnamed birth,
healthy childhood. and a physically eff
cient maturity" He stated that in many
parts Of the Indian country, infant NOR
tality, tuberculosis, and disastrous dis
eases generally prevail to an extent ex-
oeeded only in some OF the most insani-
tary Of the white rural districts, and in
the worst slums OF the large cities.

NO TINE FOR PILGRIMAGE.
House Leaders shy at Mr.. Levy's
Invitation.

Representative Jefferson Levy, Of New
York. has been importuned by Demo-
cratic leaders not to press his invita-
ton to House members to visit Monti-
cello, the home Of Jefferson. which has
been in the Levy @~--iiv many years.
Mr.. Levy has been tuIu It II the pro-
posed excursion is msde It will delay
the work Of Congress and probably pro-
long the session.
Mr.. Levy has the whip hand on the
leaders. Practically every House men,
ber wants to go to Monticello. Mr..
Levy is willing to accommodate his col
leagues, and the leaders are up in the
air. The cause Of the trip Is the agtta-
tation that has been started by Mrs.
Martin W. Littleton. Of New York, for
the purchase Of Monticello by the gov
ernment.
The charge has been made that Month
cello is in bad repair and that the tomb
of Jefferson is neglected. Representa-
tive Levy wants to demonstrate to men,
bers Of Congress that Monticello has
been preserved with a careful hand.
and proposes to transport Congress to
the scene. The Democratic leaders are
pleading with Mr.. Levy to postpone the
pilgrimage to another time.
