LABOR TRUST IS
ROBERTS, CHARGE
Wants to See the Unions Put
on the Same Basis as the
Trusts

Washington. Feb. Is. Percival
Roberts Jr., a director of the United
States Steel corporation. told the
Stanley steel investigating committee
today that his company would like to
see labor unions under the same gov
ernment control as corporations
Trade unions in this country he de-
nounced as "un-American."
II see no reason" Mr. Roberts said,
why men shot Id not combine to dis
pose OF their labor just as men COM
are under government control and
that full liability is imposed on labor
organizations for all their undertak-
ings. and that neither eide has any
monopolistic tendencies. The difficulty
with labor organizations is that their
first requirement Is monopolistic. Thew
demand the closed shop. which is a
monopoly and there is no law in this
country to prevent the closed shop.
Neither Is there any law providing
liability upon labor unions regarding
contracts.
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"
Mr.. Roberts made an exception Of
railroad labor organizations. which he
said were entirely different from the
manufacturing organizations.
The committee was urged by Mr..
Roberts and D. A. Reed. counsel for
the steel corporation. to visit steel
plants and see actual labor conditions.
They declared that the committee
could get more information in two
days of inspection than It could in
two weeks of testimony.
Chairman Stanley said he approved
the idea and would like to have tho
committee go provided that members
would pay their own expenses. He
said that as the investigation had al
ready cost $4,000 and there had
been some protests about the expense.
he did not feel Like asking the house
for an additional appropriation.
ut is appalling. the agony that the
expense Of this committee is causing
some people," said Mr.. Stanley. "The
inquiry by the bureau Of corporations
cost the government 100000 or
100000 year for a period Of years
and the steel corporation says 1t has
cost 1t half million dollars. That
part Of the expense. am satisfied,
was foolishly spent. think that this
committee. with an expenditure Of
$4,000. has discovered more informa-
ton than the executive branch of the
government.
Several members Of the committee
volunteered to pay their own ex-
penses for q visit to the steel mills.

THE administration has embarked
upon a policy Of political suicide and
murder'-murder If possible and sui
eide If necessary In its effort to dis
credit the friends Of Mr.. Roosevelt it
has sought to destroy the Republicans
who favor his candidacy and has cast
it's lot with the moribund reactionary
leaders Of the Republican party, at
the risk Of losing the support of the
great mass of progressive voters
throughout the country.
Not content with viciously attack
ing the progressives in one speech, in
another It has sought to divide the
Republican opposition to the presi-
dent by confusing facts with reference
to Senator Cummins. Senator LaFol-

MORE SPEED
 TALK HEARD
George Hageman Posts $500 Against Local Cars to Beat His Record Ire maine Will Cover Money Conditionally.

The dust from the flying wheels of George Hagemans Franklin car has settled over the fields of blowing grain by the roadside, but the excitement, claims and counter boasts seem with out end-though it is not time yet to say, and void.'
 Yesterday afternoon, Mir. Hageman placed in the hands of The Republican a check for $500 This is a very To- quacious check because it has a great deal to say. In dollar talk which is good old United States. it stoutly maintains that no local driver in local car can go the route over the Tempe loop, fol- lowing precisely the road of the late race in 29 minutes and 45 seconds, be- ing just three minutes faster than the time made by the air cooler.
 The stipulation of one trial for the five centuries, makes the deciding fac tor of the contest, the ability of the car
Arizona republican., 1912-06-18

to ride as lightly on its rubbers as the Franklin is claimed to do.
 The drawing of the check is designed to cryStIiize talk about town and turn thoughts and words to acts. In this MT Hageman was very successful. Five minutes after the news arrived at The Republican office of the advent of cash w. D. TTemaine called up with the an- nouncement that he could see very clearly any amount of coin of the realm in Hageman's possession up to half a thousand plunks. and was will ling to Hide same with an equal amount of his own lucre. He is quite handy at thinking up conditions too; the sum of his deliberations being the stipulation that as valley roads have a peculiar habit of becoming flooded with good river water and in some unaccountable way smeared with hardware of the tack and nail variety, he would de mand a second trial in the event of flooded roads or punctured tires.
 Unless Hageman is persuadable on this point or Tremaine is willing to risk a blowout for the chance to earn bank directors salary for 29 minutes or so the bet will not be made. In case either is agreeable to ceding a bit of their po- sition, the sporting life section of the city will be enlivened with one of the hottest fought road runs ever wit messed.
