Welt is now down in black and white,

made, today. When he has completed
the recital of his doctrines in Chicago
ON the night of Aug. 5. he probably
will be called socialistic or anarchis-
tic. and may be both, he said to-
night But he insisted that the meas
ures he advocated must come.
.They are a corrective To socialism
and an antidote TO anarchy he said.
Two of the more striking measures
favored by Col. Roosevelt are the fix
ing by law of minimum wage scales
for women workers and a guarantee
by law TO workmen employed in what
he calls the continuous industries"
of eight hour shifts, and one days
rest in every seven.
Although Col. Roosevelt has taken
unusual precautions to prevent the
contents of his speech from becoming
known prematurely. he gave a gim-
mering of the doctrines, tonight He
dealt almost entirely with broad eco
nomic problems and gave the impress
sion that he will lay emphasis chiefly
upon subjects of this nature, which
he says both the Democratic and Re-
publican parties have ignored, In their
platforms. rather than upon matters
which might be placed under the head
of partisan politics.

among business men by his speech at
