On the subject of arbitration Mr. Taft

the "Massachusetts plan." This method,

opening statement.
Mr. Littleton has made very plain dur
ing all. the time he has been examining
prospective Jurors that the defense will
be bused entirely on a plea of Insanity at

likely that there will be any such plea
of Justification as was made by Mr.

TAFT ANSWERS QUESTIONS
(.Continued from .First Page.)
volleyed a the Secretary, who answered
them with facility and great good humor,
which reflected itself in the attitude of
his audience. One questioner wanted to
know If worklngmen were ready to work
so hard for private individuals, why they
would not be ready to work as hard for
the Government under Federal owner
ship. The Secretary replied without hesi
tation: "Because human nature is not built
along that line. It is not possible to
earry on governments the same as a
business. by Individuals " working for
private gain. You cannot change the
motive of enlightened selfishness Into
altruism."
Mr. Tsft indicated clearly that he did
not think the time had come for an In
come tax law. He was accorded another
ovation when he finished, and many in
the audience flocked to the platform to
shake him by the hand. Mr. Taft said
In his address:
True Cause ot Panic.
Wa ara suffering now from a panic. It
pras hrougt on, in my Judgment, by the ex
haustion of free capital the world over, by
the lack of an elastic system of currency
and also by a lack of confidence in our
ru3;ncss fabric produced In Europe through
tlie revelation in certain great corporations
f business dishonesty, corruption and un
lawfulness. It had been necessary for us to
purify some of our business methods; but
tit purification, rannot stop the -panic. It
nlll doubtless make another in the far
future less likely. Meantime, all must suf
fer, both the Innocent and guilty, and the
Innocent more than the guilty. Certaintly
lie laborer who is thrown out of his em
ployment by the bard times Is innocent and
suffers more than the capitalist, whether
-nnocent or guilty, wno has money to live
u meantime until prosperity shall be re
stored. Arbitrate. Labor Troubles.
Discussing the difficulties in peaceful
adjustment of controversies between cap
ital and labor, Mr. Taft commended the
work of such orgarjzatlons as the Civic
Federation In seeking to bring together
to the merits of the, issue and publish it
to the world.
Rights of Labor.
On the question of the legal right of the
labor union o strike, Mr. Taft said:
Men have "the right to leave the employ
of their employer In a body In order to im
pose on him as great an inconvenience as
possible to - Induce '-him to come to- their
terms. They have the right in their labor
unions to delegate to their leaders the power
to say when to strike. T&ey hava tne rignt
in advance to accumulate by contributions
from all members of the labor unions a fund
which shall enable them to live during the
pending strike. They have the right to use
persuasion with, all other laborers who are
invited to take their places. In order to
convince them "of the advantage to labor-'of
united action. It la the business of courts
and of the 'police to respect these rights
with -the same degree of care that tney re
spect the right of owners of capital to the
protection of their property and business.
He added, however,, that "a resort
to violence, or other form of lawless
ness, on behalf of a labor union,-properly
merits and receives the sharpest
condemnation from the. public, and is
quite likely to lose the cause of labor
its support in the particular contro
versy." .
The "abuse of capital combinations"
industrial and railroad were dis
cussed at length, and the relation ot
wage-earners thereto pointed out.
Mr. Taft said:
The maintenance of such unlawful monop
olies is for the purpose of keeping -up- the
price of the necessities of life, and this
necessarily reduces the purchasing power of
the wages that wage-earners receive. This
Is a serious detriment to them and a real
reason why they should condemn such cor
poration abuses and sympathize with ' the
effort to stamp the out. It Is
not that they should sympathize
with an effort to. destroy such great
corporate enterprises, because they employ
enormous numbers ot wage-earners and law
fully and normally Increase the capital from
which the wage fund is drawn, but they
should and do vigorously sustain the policy
of the Government In bringing these great
corporations within the law and requiring
them to conduct their business In accordance
with the statutes of the country. I
Capital's Crimes Against Labor.
In rare Instances corporate managers have
entered into a course of violence to main
tain their side of a labor controversy. They
have Justified it on the ground that they
were simply fighting Are with nre, and that
if the labor union proceeded to use dyna
mite, they would use dynamite in return. I
cannot too strongly condemn this course of
argument. No amount of lawlessness on
the part of labor strikers will justify law
lessness on .the part of the employers. Such
a course means a recurrence of civil war
and anarchy.
. A second abuse which employers are some
times guilty of la what technically is known
as "blacklisting" This Is unlawful and
should be condemned.
Mr. Taft condemned the "abuses of
labor," such' as violence, intimidation
and the boycott, and pointed out the
legal remedies by which a person may
be protected against the illegal acts of
combinations of capital and combina
tions of labor. "In cases of unlawful
combinations of capital, as well as of
such combinations of labor," he said,
"the method in equity by securing, an
injunction seems to be preferred by
those who are about to be Injured." '
He defended the injunction against
the criticism that It places In the
bands of Judges legislative, judicial
and executive powers, and declared
that "prevention is better than cure."
He granted the contention that
the injunction had been - abused -In
labor disputes, and favored amendment
of the law to provide that no tempor
ary restraining order should issue
until after notice and hearing; also
requiring a different Judge in con
tempt proceedings from the Judge Is
suing the injunction." He said, in clos
ing: "There is a class of capitalists who
looK upon labor unions as, per so
vicious, and a class "of radical labor
unionists who look upon capital as
labor's natural enemy. I believe, how
ever, that the great majority of each
class are gradually becoming more
conciliatory in their attitude, the one
toward the other. Between them Is a
larger class, neither capitalist nor la
bor unionist, who are without preju
dices, and I hope I am one of those.
The effects of, the panic are not over.
We must expect Industrial depression.
This may be fruitful of labor contro
versies. I earnestly hope that a more
conservative and conciliatory attitude
on both sides may avoid the destruc
tive struggles of the past."
BOYCOTT ORDER STANDS
Judge Gould Refuses to Change Or
der on Labor Federation.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. Justice Gould,
of the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia, today overruled a motion made
by the American Federation of Labor to
amend the court's order In the case of the
Buck Stove & Range Company, of St.
Louis, in which the court recently tem
porarily enjoined the federation from
placing the company on a boycott and
unfair list in the federation publications.
The motion of the federation contended
that the order was erroneous because It
was made to run until the final decree in
the case instead of until the further order
of the court, because it may be construed
to enjoin the defendants from uniting to
agree to patronize plaintiff's products; or
construed to prevent the defendants and
their associates from saying to others
that they had united and combined not to
patronize such products; or construed "to
enjoin their announcing that they had
enmhinerl not to dpAl with others who
I should deal with the company. The mo
tion also contended that the order
abridges freedom of speech of all the de
fendants and freedom of press, "which is
protected, by the first amendment to the
Constitution of the United States." The
court decided that it would not alter the
order in any way.

Foraker Faction Calls Convention
for Today, While Taft Faction
Demands Direct Primary A
Third Faction Enters Field.
'CLEVELAND. O., Jan. 10. A call was
issued today by the Foraker-Dick faction
of the Republican party in this (Cuya
hoga) county ror a convention Saturday
afternoon'at which It is stated an execu
tive or controlling committee of the party
will be chosen. Earlier In the day the
leaders of the Taft faction filed a re
quest with the board of elections that a
primary be held to select 63 delegates to
the state convention.
The Foraker-Dick faction leadens allege
that the present county executive com
mittee, composed of Taft adherents, is
without power to " act because it was
chosen for one year and has served two
years without re-election.
Each faction desires to control the executive-committee
because the executive
committee alone has power to call a pri
mary election for the selection of dele
gates to the state convention.
The so-called regular committee, in Its
call filed 'with the County Board of Elec
tions, asks, for primaries to be held Feb
ruary 11 to select delegates to the state
convention. The followers of Senator
Foraker, holding the belief that the pres
ent committee is working exclusively in
the lnterests-of Secretary Taft and is ar
ranging matters so that the voters will
have no choice in the matter, filed a pro
test. It will be the duty of the Board of
Elections to "determine which of the two
committees is official and which call is
to be indorsed. ,
The situation was further complicated
tonjght by a hurried convention of still
another element, which chose a commit
tee and a list of delegates Instructed" to
act in behalf of President Roosevelt. The
claims of this committee will also have
to be taken into consideration by. he
Board of Elections.
.While tomorrow's convention is expect
ed to be a Foraker affair, the Taft fol
lowers have sent out word- to their work
ers to be on hand and take a part in the
work. As a result the Foraker followers
appealed to the police this afternoon and
asked for protection against the Taft
workers, who. they allege, may force an
entrance and attempt to manipulate the
convention.

st ruction to Salt Lake City.
DENVER. Jan. 10. Speedy completion
of the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific
Railroad (the Moffat road)- is said to be
assured by an agreement reached today

DRIVES OUT. .GENERAL" KEIM
Prince Henry Objects to Politics In
German Navy Leagno.
BERLJN, Jan. 10. An official communi
cation sets forth that Prince Henry of
Prussia, brother of Emperor William, and
who represents His Majesty as patron of
the Navy League, has decided to retire
from his position in the event of Major
General Keim's continuing as managing
director of the League.
This decision would appear to be a re
sult of a recent .lengthy conference be
tween Emperor "William and Prince
Ruprecht of Bavaria, during which the
Prince explained that his retirement from
the Bavarian branch of the League was
due to the fact that Major-General Kelm
had made use of the resources of the as
sociation for political purposes.- The at
.titude taken by'the Emperor undoubtedly
will result in forcing Major-General Kelm
to resign.
It Is largely due to the efforts of Major
General Kelm that the Navy League has
been brought to its present powerful po
sition, with more than a million members.
