for CMraa-o today, at a luncheon In hla

on the relations of capital and labor,

In one solution of them, and that Is
that w shall enforce the law against
everyone high or law. Whether It be
a tru.it or a trade union. th law shall
l.o enforced. Then. If the law works
unequally, the law can be changed, but
as long as. the law Is on the statute

"I have always advocated the exist
ence of labor unions. Without them
the Individual would be at the mercy
and wholly unable to meet with those
adltidlcturrs In his relations with his
employers, the greater capital and
forre and power of his employer: and
therefore, it Is essential to have an
organization among them and to have
what we call 'trades unions.
Although he was speaking to a
crowd composed largely of employes,
and his points against labor unions
mere frequent. Mr. Taft was applauded
vigorously. Continuing. Mr. Taft said:
"Trade unions. I doubt not, have
brought higher wages and better con
ditions because they have stood up In
those times when the Interests of the
employer and the employe were op
posed and they have fought out the
licht: but we must not fail to recognise
mat such organizations have prompted
at times violations of the law. violence,
.-econdary boycott and other means of
i-eeklng to compel their employers Il
legally to respond to their demands.
All Mast Adhere to Law.
"I'nder those conditions there bad
been nothing to do but enforce the law,
and the first lesson I would Impart to
both employers and employes Is the
sbsolute necessity. If we are going to
have permanent Industrial peace, of the
closest adherence to the law.
"As to arbitration for Industrial
peace, that Is a question of agreement.
I am quite sure the working men. and
I am quite sure the employers, will
not consent to a forced arbitration
.it least that bas been my experience:
but there Is a force that can bring
about a decision as to what la the right
of the issue. That has been tried In a
number of states, and I wonder that
it has not spread.
"Whenever there is a controversy
between employes and employers. In
ome states, they have an Investigating
body that has the power to summon
witnesses and go through the whole
rontroversy and report the facts and
then form their Judgment upon the
farts and submit It to the public as to
what they think ought to be done. A
.-trike may continue some times after
that, but the force ef public opinion
thHt Is awskened by an Impartial de
cision of that sort will generally con
trol ami bring about a right result."

of society. When he first heard of the
Times explosion, he said he attributed
it to the Instrumentality of labor
unions.
Attorney Davis attempted to learn
whether the talesman's opinions as to
tl.e guilt ef the defendant would cause
him to distrust the defendant If he
were placed on the stand. Questions
along this line met with objection from
n.e state that the defense was seeking
to elicit In advance an opinion as to
what weight would be given by a Juror
to forthcoming testimony. The court
sustained the state on this point In
everv Instance. The defense finally
challenged Frampton for cause and the
state resisted.
At last K ramp ton admitted that be

trial and the court took the matter
under advisement.

The examination of Talesman Lee,
which was begun after the Incident
of Darrow's refusal to proceed with
the trial, disclosed that Lee for eight
years had sold dynamite, and though
be had made an examination of the
Times wreckage, he never had dis
cussed the uses of dynamite with a
view to finding out whether It had
caused the Times disaster.
"Do you feel now that yon know a
good deal of the action of dynamite?"
asked Harrow.
"A little about It."
"Ever have any experience with, an
explosion of gas?"
"No."
from reading the newspapers a
first, declared Lee, he thought dyn
mite had caused the disaster, but later
he came to doubt It.
"I bave an opinion that It was not
dynamite, but I don't know what It
was," said Lee.
Lee was passed for cauae by the
defense. Hurton retracted for the
state Lee's account of his half doxen
visits to the Times building after the
explosion.
"You were seeking light on the
cause to confirm your own opinion
that it waa sot dynamite.

Secretary Expresses Admiration for
"Permanent Resident" of Ter
ritory and Admits Need of
Better Local Laws.
CHICAGO. Oct 2. Quoting the
United States Supreme Court to sup
port his contention that In undertak
ing railroad construction the Govern
ment is In effect "simply resuming one
of Its own proper functions," and not
Invading the legitimate domain of
private enterprise. Secretary of the In
terior Fisher. In an address before the
American Mining Congress today sug
gested Government ownership and op
eration of mines and transportation
facilities in Alaska, on a limited scale..
He declared, however, that direct
Government operation. Including the
mining and sending of coal. Involved
such deep and far-reaching changes.
both of policy and of administration,
that there was no likelihood at the
present time of Its adoption to the ex
clusion of private operation, and while
much can be said for the Government
entering experimentally Into these
fields, he did not believe In the policy
of having the Government alone own
and mine Alaskan coal.
Oatrlght Sale Thought I'awlae.
The Secretary expressed opposition
to the policy of selling coal lands out
right, saying he' believed that the leas
ing system avoids controversies lof
both extremes of public and private
ownership. He suggested Government
ownership and operation of a limited
number of properties as an example
to private owners and to regulate the
latter by competition and the leasing
of other fields under fair Government
regulation.
Secretary Flatter. In opening his ad
dress, said he spoke officially, with
the consent of the President, and that
while he had had no opportunity to
submit what ha had prepared, the gen
eral Alaskan policy outlined In the
address had been discussed with the
President, met bis approval and would
receive bis support.
He said no one was more earnest
than President Taft to see a policy
of prompt and wise development In
augurated In Alaska.
Telling of bis recent trip to Alaska,
Mr. Fisher said be made a careful ex
amination of all the harbor and town-
sites which had attracted any con
siderable public attention, assisted by
Geologist Brooks, and that Director
Holmes, of the Bureau of Mines, had
examined the mines.
Prrm.ieit Alaskans' Praised.
He expressed his high opinion of
the people who have become perma
nent residents of Alaska, saying there
was a substantial percentage of -vigorous,
lawabldlng. law-respecting men
and women of the highest ' type of
American citizenship.
"These people," the Secretary said,
are entitled to a territorial govern
ment, better adapted to their peculiar
location, conditions and needs."
Mr. Fisher dwelt at length upon the
much-discussed controversy over Con
troller Bay. He said that to develop
the site secured by R. S. Ryan and his
associates It would be necessary to con
struct piers or roadways for a distance
of two or three miles over snailow
flats to a channel. He thought the
operations of Ryan and his associates
should not be interfered with, because
all the rest of the shore along Con
troller Bay remains free from entry,
rnus disposing of the contention that
a railroad monopoly has acquired the
bay's frontage and. whatever may be
the merits or demerits of the harbor.
it has not passed out of control of the
Government. Moreover, he said. If the
Ryan road be built and the Government
desires to own It and a reasonable price
would not be accepted, the Government
could build Its own road.
Government Mlae Proposed.
Mr visit to Alaska." said the Sec
retary, "has -led me to take a far
greater Interest in the Matanuska coal
field, which Is better In coal, better In
physical condition and freer from
competition of private claims than Is
true at Berlug River, the Controller
Bay field. Matanuska coal should be
brought to Seward for the use of our
naval coaling station and a mine for
that purpose can be well opened by
the Government on the Matanoeka,
where It can be made to serve as an
example for private mines, to furnish
information and to serve as a, cneck
upon the profits of the lessee.
'The Secretary of the Navy authorized
me to state he believes there should
be reserved sufficient high-grade
Alaska coal for the use of the Navy,
to be mined hereafter for this express
purpose under the Bureau of Mnes."
Explaining n detail nis plan ior
leasing Alaskan coal properties, the
Secretary said that the prime requisites
of a leasing system are that only suf
ficient lands be leased to meet tha ex-
xtsng market and encourage develop
ment: that the quantity leased to any
one lessee should be limited to the
amount that can be profitably mined
and that the lessee shall pay hla roy
alty as he mines his coal, a minimum
being fixed to prevent holding without
product'on.
LOCKS TO BE VIEWED
Canal Commission at Oregon City
Likely to Pick West Side Site.
SALEM. Or, Oct. 27. (Special.)
Members of the Canal Commission, In
cluding Governor West, Secretary Ol
cott and State Treasurer Kay. will
GO M
"On the Right Side of the River"
visit Oregon City tomorrow to Inves
tigate the locks at that point and pro
posed plans of right of way for the
new locks. Members of the Commis
sion will arrive at Oregon City at 10
o'clock In the morning. They will
meet Major Mclndoe, of the Govern
ment service, or a representative and
representatives of the various con
cerns Interested in the free locks.
The state haa made an appropria
tion of IS00.00O for the locks, to be
appropriated $100,000 annually for
three years. " The Canal Commission,
which was created in 1878, wants to
obtain first-hand data as to the condi
tion of affairs at Oregon City and
particularly as to the location of the
locks, as to whether they shall be
placed on the east side or the west side
of the river.
The opinion has been given by the
office of the Attorney-General that
the state has an equity of $200,000 in
the present locks. It was provided
that the state could take over the
locks at the expiration of 20 years for
their value and that the 1200,000 would
be returned to the common school
fund. The point has been raised that
the act of 1170 provides that the stats
has the right and privilege of taking
over the locks at the expiration of 20
years, but that it Is doubtful whether
this right continues past that time.
According to the interpretation of
the opinion of the Supreme Court by
the Attorney-General, however, the
state is entitled to such an amount
and the board will undoubtedly work
on this basis. In that event an effort
will be made by the board to keep the
locks on the west side of the river, as
it Is considered that the state's equity
would be practically valueless if the
locks were shifted to the other side of
the falls.
DYNAMITE ON TRACKS
IGNORANCE BELIEVED TO HAVE
SAVED TRAINS.
Had Fuses Beer Attached to Explo
sive, Many Lives Would Probably
Have Been Lost.
SANTA BARBARA. Cal.. Oct. TT.
That Ignorance of the proper use of
dynamite alone saved the lives of many
persons and prevented the blowing up
of a passenger train at Ellwood. 15
miles north of here, last night. Is the
belief of Sheriff Stewart and railroad
officials In Santa Barbara, tonight.
Special Railroad Officer Macey, of
the Southern Pacific Company, while
Investigating a report that some one
had fired a shot at the engineer of a
locomotive as It was passing Goleta
last night, today ran across 75 sticks
of dynamite tucked In between the
switches and frogs of the tracks near
Ellwood.
The explosive had been placed In two
places, a short distance apart. 40 sticks
in one pile and 15 in the other.
Macey found that the dynamite was
of the class known as "commercial," of
40 per cent strength, but was without
cap or fuse of any kind. It had been.
In all probability, he said, lying where
It was found for many days and several
passenger trains had passed over It.
Some of the dynamite had been ground
under engine wheels. The stuff could
not be exploded In this manner, Macey
said, and without the cap or fuse It
was harmless.
This attempt at dynamiting trains is
not believed to have been perpetrated
by the same man that placed the dyna
mite under the El Capltan bridge, over
which President Taft a train passed
early on the morning of October 16. on
Its way to Los Angeles. That dynamite
was fully equipped with the necessary
ruses ana caps, and snowed it had been
placed there by an expert. Nothing In
me way or a clue was round.
