WANTS UNIONS RESTRAINED.

New York, Aug. S.-Vice-President
j. G. Stuart of the Erie Railroad Com
paHy, who recently appeared before
the Strauss arbitration board and
urged Federal regulation of labor un-
ions, as a result of the locomotive en-
gineers' demand for more pay, is put
ting his views into concrete form and
will submit them to other railroad
men of the country, with a view of
having the matter ultimately brought
before Congress for national legisla-
tion.
1T is proper to regulate the COM
mon carrier, but it is equally essential
to regulate labor organizations en-
gagged in public transportation, the
purpose being to maintain the princi-
pie of property rights and the contin-
ued prosperity of the country" asserts
Mr.. Stuart. He presents to the rail
roads of the country a picture of what
he considers the grace crisis confront
ing the country for the reason that
organized labor has an untrammelled
power which makes it dangerous
force to the railroads, which are
hemmed in on all sides by Federal ant
state legislation.
Labor leaders in this city who have
been informed of Mr.. Stuart's view
say that they will be opposed through
sut the country, not only by labo
unions but by many railroad men a
we'll.

FOR LAFoLLETTE IN 1916.

San Francisco, Aug. S.-California
will be the original Lafollete state in
the presidential campaign of 1916, for
a committee acting in the interest of
the Wisconsin has been formed and
within a few days the first literature
bearing the slogan Robert NJ. Lafol-
lette for president in 1916 will be
sent out from its headquarters. The
committee consists of Rudolph Spreck-
les, the San Francisco sugar magnate,
William E. Smythe of San Diego and
Irving Rartin of Stockton. In explana-
tion of the action taken to establish
the Lafollette national league perma-
nently in California, Spreckles says:
Senator Lafollette is not personally
concerned about the coming campaign
but his friends expect to effect or.
ganizatisn in this and other states
during the next four years in the hope
that a national Republican victory
will result in 1916, with Senator La
toilette elected president. There be
ing no hope of securing national pro
gressive Republican victory this year
we expect each progressive Republi
can voter to determine his or her posi-
tion in such way as will best serv,
the whole people. but it is to be under
stood that our individual preferenc
or activities in the coming presider
tial campaign does not commit Sens
tor Lafollette in any way"
