PERCVAL ROBERTS
 DEN0UNCES UNIONS
Steel Corporation Director
 Before Committee
A RE U N A M E RICAN
Roberts Says Unions Are Just as Much a Monopoly as Giant Cor poraiions and Should Be In
 dsr Government Control

Washington, February 14.--Percival Roberts, Jr., a director of the United States Steel corporation, told the House steel Investigating committee today that his company would like to see labor unions under the same govern mental control as corporations. Trade unions in this country. he denounced as "un- American"
 "I sec no reason" said Mir. Roberts, why men should not combine to dis pose of their labor just as men com bine to use capital, provided that both are under government control and that full liability Is imposed on labore or ganizations for all their undertakings, and that neither side has any monopo- listic tendencies. The difficulty with
 labor organizations is that their first requirement is monopolistic. They de- mand the closed shop, which Is a mos nopoly and there is law in this country to prevent the closed shop. Neither is there any law providing lia- bility upon labor unions regarding con tracts. The average labor union Is in no sense an American institution. The idea is imported and has no place in the institutions of this country
 MT Roberts made an exception of railroad labor organizations which. he said, were entirely different from the manufacturing organizations. The committee was urged by Mir. Roberts and D. A. Reed, counsel for the Steel corporation, to visit steel plants and see actual labor conditions. They de- clared the committee could get more information in two days of inspec tion than 1t could in two weeks of testi- mony.
 Chairman Stanley said he approved the idea. and would like to have the committee do 1t provided members would pay their own expenses. He said that tho investigation had already cost S4,0o0, and as there had been some protests about the expense, hc did not feel like asking for an addi- tional appropriation.
 Tt Is appalling the agony that the expense of this committee Is causing some people, said MT. Stanley. "the in- quiry by the bureau of corporations cost the government s200,000 or S30O,- 900 a year for period Of years and the Steel corporation says it has cost 1t half million dollars The part of the expense l am satisfied. was fool ishIy spent 1 think that this commit tee. with an expenditure of S34,0OO. has discovered more information than the executive branch of the government" Several members of the committee volunteered to pay their own expenses for a visit to the steel mills.

He said he did not know whether Young wanted me to meet a superintendent or to do job, but he said I was to go pre- pared to do anybody and not to meet any body, meaning 1 was not to do any slug ging.
 When I arrived in Boston Young said I want you to go down there and look over the municipal building I said: I don't think we can do much with the tower The foundation was 30 feet deep in concrete He said: We'll put her in there anyway l placed the shot and 1t went off about o'clock the next morning."
 Cline Arrested
 Hiram Cline, national organizer for the International Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, was arrested at his home at Muncie, late today, and brought here tonight Cline is the third agent of any union except the iron workers to be in volved in the conspiracy. The others are Clarence E. Dowd of Rochester, N. Y., formerly an agent of the lnternational eschinists unita 1 sptise1O sFs''fcs.s ows of Indianapolis, an agent or the carpenters union. All it is alleged, were concerned in dynamiting depredations against contractors who employed non as iron workers.
 Meadows, Ernest G. w. Basey, former business agent of the local iron workers union, and Fred Sherman, Baseys sue eessor are alleged to have been con- cerned in four explosions which occurred simultaneously at midnight of October 25, 19o9 In this city.
 John Halfman, keeper of hotel tes- tified before the county grand jury that he had seen Basey ana Meadows in con- ference with two mysterious strangers" from Chicago in room before the ex- plosions took place.
 Smythe Implicated
 Edward Smythe of the local union at Peoria. Ill.,, is alleged to have been inn picated in explosions in that city in 1910 McMangal related he was instructed to go from Kansas City to Peoria and meet Smythe and that Smythe took him to piles of iron in railroad yards which McManigal afterward blew up
 On June g, 1909, a bridge in Peoria was wrecked and on September the plant of the Lucas Bridge and Iron company and six adjoining buildings were damaged.
 One of the bombs failed to explode and Detective William J. Burns found the alarm clock and other apparatus. Burns took the machine with him to Los An geles and it served, after the Los An geles explosions, as link in the evil dence that the same band of men were responsible for the depredations in dif- ferent parts of the country.

Criticises President Taft

A statement issued tonight at ''ths Washington offices of the Roosevelt na- tional committee" in the interest of Col-i onel Roosevelt and signed by Medill Me- Cormiek, declared that President Tafts administration had embarked upon a poll icy of political suicide and murder"
 President Taft's New York speech in which he referred to political neurotics" . is criticised. as Is Secretary MacNeaghs speech at Lansing, in which he declared that MT. Roosevelt would not and could not be candidate for the presidency.
 Mir Mccormick who recently withdrew from Senator LaE'ollettes campaign. has opened offices in a downtown office build ing The statement was issued from there.
 Irntil tonight there hcs been no "Roose- welt headquarters" here and these offices are not now known as such. The state- ment follows;
 ..The administration has embarked upon a policy of political suicide and murder --rnurderlif possible and suicide if neces- sary. In it's effort to discredit the friends of Mir Roosevelt it has sought to- de- stroy the republicans who favor his can didaey and has cast It's lot with the moribun reactionary leaders of the re publican party. at the risk of losing the support of the great mass of progressive voters throughout the country.
 Confused Facts
 Not content with viciously attacking the progressives in one speech, in an- other 1t has sought to divide the repub- lican opposition 10 the President by confusing facts with reference to Sena- tor Cummins Senator IaFollette and Col onel Roosevelt.

May Open Headquarters

It is rumored tonight that Roosevelt headquarters will be opened in Washing ton within the next two days and that an active campaign for the securing of Roosevelt delegates will be launched. IL Is probable that Medal Mccormick and other prominent leaders will be in ac- tive charge.
 It Is understood that a suite of rooms has been engaged in the Munsey build ing and that an elaborate campaign will begin at once. It will be remembered that Mccormick was one of the active leaders in the LaFollette movement un- til that boom collapsed about 10 days ago. MT Mccormick was one of the first La Toilette supporters to hasten with his support to Roosevelt.
 There is a rumor in Washington that the absence of three members of the Presidents cabinet, Knox, Fisher and Hitchcock, just at this critical period has some political significance. This ru- nor is especially strong in reference to Hitchcock, who has recently been out of tune with the administration on sev-- eral points.

Taft Supporters Change

It is even now being recalled that those men and those interests who were most active in their opposition to MT. Taft four years ago are now the very people who are displaying the most interest in his nomination.
 Among these are numbered Knox, Pen rose, Hughes, Crane, Aldrich. sherman. Cannon, Hemenway and Long of Kansas. Big business" was also opposed to tho nomination of MT. Taft. These people and these interests are now supporting Mir Taft if they are supporting any body.
 If Roosevelt should become active it is believed that these people and these in- terests would support him just as aetive- ly if not more.
 if MT. Roosevelt announces his deter imitation to make the race it will mean that Mir Roosevelt believes that the party can win in November under his leader- ship. If his announcement is negative it may be accepted that he sees defeat for the party under any leadership.

Politicians Favor Him

Political statlsticians who are inclined to favor Roosevelt have already figured out a majority of the delegates for him. This before he Is an active candidate. The fact that eight governors of as many states have indorsed Roosevelt anC demand some statement of his in- tentions Is proof that he is strong and that his candidacy is demanded
 However. those who take a broad and unbiased view of the political situation contend that this demand for Roose- welt Is not sincere. Taft is not wanted. The republicans have but little hope of electing him If he Is nominated. They want a leader who has fighting chance to win. Roosevelt, with his political prowess, his great personal following, his originality. his daring, offers the only opportunity they see for success of the party.
 If Roosevelt announces his willingness tp make the race and becomes active. the country may expect a great move ment in his direction. 1t will be a moves meet in which some enthuaasm can he aroused. There is no enthusiasm in th8 support of Mir. Taft.
