Will Champion Wisconsin Law.

II am going to insist on the adoption Of
the La Toilette public -lities law by the
District committee, and l will champion
it on the floor Of the House. At the prop
er time I will not hesitate to tell the
House and the country that the legisia-
ton best fitted to govern the public utili-
ties of Washington is to be found on the
Wscon sin statute books and drafted un-
der the guidance of La Toilette. Oh
course, the adoption of this Wisconsin law
IN the capital of the na-,on WILL De d
tribute to the sound judgment and con-
structive craftsmanship of the senator
any member of Congress, be ne demo-
crat or republican, will reach the same
if he. will take the time to
carefully study the admirable legislation
nut on the statute books while La Toilette
was Governor of Wisconsin. The District
of Columbia needs the best public utilities
law that can be drafted We have many
leg .slators in Congress, but
/ will defy all of them to draft pubic
utilities law to excel that drawn by La
Toilette and which l hope will become the
law OF the District of Columbia
1.-THE fact that a democratic member OF
the District committee, thoroughly ia
miliar with municipal affairs and expe-
rienced in the needs OF the District OF
Columbia. should decide upon a La Fol-
lette piece Of legislation Is but another
evidence that the Wisconsin laws. inspir-
ed and drafted by La Toilette. are being
recogn zed as models which can be adopt
ed even in Washington, where members
of Congress pride themselves on their
ability to draft legislation.

A committee of navy yard machinists
headed by Thomas E. Carroll, president
Of Columbia Lodge, No. I74. Of the Inter
national ASS ociation of Machinists, held
conference late yesterday afternoon al
the Navy Derartment. with Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Winthrop, Admiral
Willitts, director Of navy yards. and Capt
Beatty. commandant Of the Washington
navy yard. The conference, it was stated
at the Navy Department earlier in the
day, had been postponed on account OF
the funeral of Admiral Evans. but when
the n1achinists called Unexpectedly about
4:3O o'clock their statement was received
by the officials.
The conference continued until $50
o'clock, and the machinists laid a full
statement Of their case before the assist
ant secretary and Admiral Willitts. No
action was taken, and Admiral Willitts
SAID today that none would be taken, at
least for several days, as the machinIsts'
statement was simply received for con-
sideration. This, it was explained, would
be gwen, and recommendations would be
maze when The department officials reach
a conclusion, which probably will not be
for a week.
No Change in Situation.
In the meanwhile the situation as re-
their demands for an increase Of pay re-
mains lin statu quo" The men are de-
termined in their attitude, and the Off
GERS Of the machinists' union are equally
determined to avoid strike as long as
possible. The petition which is being cir
cuIated at the navy yard is being signed
by practically every machfnist, union and
non-union, employed at the yard, and 1t
IS the intention of those in charge OF the
petition to present it to President Taft
early next week-probably next Tuesday.
At the Navy Department 1t is expected
that the President will at once refer the
petition to the Secretary OF the Navy,
sistant Secretary Winthrop and Admiral
Willitts, bringing the men back to exact
ly the same place where they are at
present; so that the petition. even though
it may be signed by 1000 or by 5000
men, is not expected to accomplish much.
May March to White House.
officials Of the machinists' organization
say they expect the men to march in a
body to the White House In case their
petition is not favorably received by the
President.
In some quarters it is pointed out that
Congress is the only body that can bring
about an increase of wages at the navy
yard. The money for operating the
shops, ETC., is appropriated by Congress
and the appropriation cannot be exceeded.
In case an increase of pay is granted. il
is stated. a part of the men employed
will have to be furloughed. as, If the par
ticularly skilled mechanics are given a
raise the appropriation will not cover the
wages of all the men in the shops. Navy
Department officials. however, decline to
discuss this phase Of the question.

LAW OF WISCONSIN
IS PRAISED AS MODEL
Public Utilities Bill Drafted by
La Toilette Recommended
for the District.

The probability of the Wisconsin law
regulating the conduct of public utilities
being applied to the District Of Columbia
during the present session of Congress
furnishes the theme for bulletin issued
today from progressive republican head
quarters in the Evans building. The en-
actment of the Wisconsin law to meet
the demand for public utilities legislation
bulletin says. to Senator La Toilette OF
Wisconsin, as constructive statesman.
The bulletin follows:
Special Committee Investigating.
session of Congress adjourns it will pay
tribute to Senator La Toilette as con-
structive statesman. and to the state of
Wisconsin as the model state Of the
Union.
1.-THE House committee on District Of
Columbia has been struggling with the
problem of regulating the public utilities
in the capital of the nation. special
committee has been studying the problem
in Washin gton, and several members Of
the committee have been devoting their
time to an exhaustive study Of state laws
regulating public utilities. One Of these
committee members today declared that
study of public utilities laws In many
states had convinced him that the Wis
consin law, put on the statute books OF
that state after a prolonged fight by Sem
ator Ia Toilette, then governor was the
most perfect piece. of legislation that had
ever come to his attention. This member,
democrat, declared that the adoption
of the Wisconsin law as whole was the
one piece of legislation with which he was
familiar which would maintain the rights
of the citizens of Washington, while at
the same time protecting the public util-
ties corporations.
