De fense of tho progressive plank for the regulation of trusts was voiced here today by Thcodoro Roosevelt In a hed hot answer to tho speech deliv ered at Minneapolis yesterday by Covornor Woodrow Wilson, tho demo cratic presidential nominee. "Wilson has a right to defend his own platform and assail tho progrcs idves," said Roosevelt, "but ho should confine himself to facts. Ho states that tho methods proposed In the progressiva platform to regulate the trusts were suggested by Perkins and Gry, saying it was douoto,sive,tbe steel corporation the necessity of do ing business better than their compe titors.' Neither statement Is In ac cord with tho facts. No Foundation for Afcscrtiou "Flvo minutes of inquiry would havo convinced Wilson that ho had no foundation for his statements. Again and again, In messages to con gress and in speeches while I was prcsldont, I advocated the same ruoth- ods which the progressives now advo cate in handling tho trust question, which Is practical application of tho principle of the inter-stato commorce act. "I wish to call attention to tho fact that, so far as I know, an over whelming majority of tho men who control tho stcol corporation and tho harvester trust aro supporting cither Wilson or Taft. So far as 1 "know, the only man connected with either of these organizations who la supporting me Is George W. Perkins. Competition Spells Ituln "Wilson further said that under tho progressive plan a corporation would control tho market for labor, declaring that tho only chnnco of labor lies in competition. If Wilson hud a personal and working knowl edge of tho conditions surrounding labor, If ho know from porsounl in vestigation how the worklugmon Ilvo and what their needs nro, his state ment would bo wholly inexcusable. Hut his statement Is ovidontly based on abstract reasoning nud what a certain class of political economists havo written. Ho says tho legisla tion wo propose would place tho work Ingmnn lu tho power of tho big Indus trial concerns. Thoro Is a slmplo way of testing this statement. Has tho intor-stuto commorco law served to put tho worktugmau mora thun ovor In tho power of tho railroads If It has no man with an atom of common sonso Imagines .that It hoa then Wilson should frankly admit that ho has made nn absurd mistake. Wilson Is a bollovor In tho outworn doctrine of tho benefits of unlimited and reckless competition. Every wlso loador knows that such reckless competition spells ruin to a mujorlty of wago oarnorsi." f WASHINGTON, ScpL ID. Re vised estimates made public here to day by tho Panama Canal commission set October 15, 1913, as the dato on which the first vessel wt paim through the now waterway between tho Atlantic and Pacific.
