NO FUSION, SAYS TEDDY.
Roosevelt Rails Again,t tay Farm o.
Compromise.

Boston, Aug. 1S.-"No compro-
mise" was the slogan with which
Colonel Roosevelt opened the pro
gressive party's campaign in Massa-
chusetts Monday He declared there
should be no compromise with reac-
tionaries in any form, while on the
other hand, the party should welcome
those of the rank and file of other
organizations who refused to follow
the old leaders.
The men who were responsible for
the Payne-Aldrich bill, he asserted,
also are responsible for the present
tariff measure and should be OPP
posed.
Colonel Rooseyelt's speech was to
have been delivered at a progressive
rally and field meet at Fenway park,
but rain drove the crowd into the
arena.
Speaking Of what he termed the
permanent problem of Massachusetts,
Mr.. Roosevelt said:
This problem must be, so far as
it concerns the great industries in
which the immense majority OF wage
earfners are engaged, to combine eff
ficiency with the proper sharing Of
the rewards of that efficiency. There
will be no rewards for anybody, no
adequate wage for the workingman,
no proper service to the public, un-
less business pays.
"The main element in the success
of any business must be efficiency
and the wage Garner must do all in
his power TO contribute to this ef-
ficiency. But the wage worker Who
by his efficiency, adds to the pro
ductivity must have that added ef-
ficiency recognized M increased
wages"
