ance Law Much Sought and Vscd
to Coerce Railroads Into
Concessions to Vnlons.
W ASH INGTON, May 30. (Special.;
.Acting presumably upon the advice of
Secretary Edward A. Moseley, the Inter
state Commerce Commission has Issued
a rulo to the effect that none but union
men shall receive appointments as in
spectors under the safety appliance act.
This action has aroused the greatest in
dignation am one railway managers, who
insist that it is another attempt on the
part cf the commission to curry favor
with the labor organizations.
It la understood that a majority of the
commission was strongly opposed to mak
ing this official recognition of railway
liibor organizations, but that Mr. Moseley
hud sufficient influence in administration
circles to ignore the opposition. There
lias been no secret of the fact, even by
Mr. Moseley, that he is and has been for
years very friendly with moor unions, ana
is by them regarded as their champion
at Washington.
Kxcuse for Closed Shop.
The excuse for making the inspection
force a "closed shop" is that it will make
t lie union responsible for the men who
bold the positions. In the first place, no
non-union railway employe can receive
an appointment, and in the second place
no union man can be appointed if he does
rot receive the Indorsement of the head
of the particular union to which he
belongs.
There are now 23 inspectors holding of
fices, and Congress has been asked to
provide for more. They are paid $125 a
month salary and are permitted $4 a day
for living" expenses and are allowed a
mileage. Most of them stop at $2 a day
hotels, travel on their membership cards
and thus make a pretty good living. The
eagerness with which these places are
fought is evidenced by the fact that there
are now on tile applications by 1200 train
men and no vacancies exist.
X svil to Club Railroads
This approximately $100,000 annual pat
ronage not only places entirely within the
hands of the unions the execution of the
safety appliance law, but it also places
a powerful whip in their hands with
which to coerce the railroads into doing
tilings that may be desired by the unions.
Not so long ago a certain railroad threat
ened to reduce wages. Soon afterward a
force of inspectors was at work upon that
' road with the result that there was a
crop of tines that aggregated a consid
erable sum.
It Is probably a coincidence that the
Louisville & Nashville road has been the
scene of the inspectors greatest activity.
Upon occasion this road has been sued
upon, all sorts of cases, many of which
proved not to be penalty violations of
Die law. Tt so happens that of all the
roads, in the South at least, the Louis
ville & Nashville has been the most ac
tive in opposing the Commission's rul
ings. President M. H. Smith has had the
temerity to criticise both the Commission
and (ts secretary and his road is usually
lined with inspectors who are busily cn
g:igd in discovering violations of the
safety appliance law. i
Unions Kxtort Concessions.
, The railroad officials regard the safety
appliance law as a wise provision and
the majority of the roads have tried
honestly to live up to it. They would in
sist, if they dared, that the law should
be executed by impartial inspectors with
out axes to grind. It is no secret that
the labor organizations to which the in
spectors belong are constantly, urging
them to activity and to inquire into things
which the law does not mention. In
fact, it is charged that labor organiza
tions are using the inspection depart
ment of the Commission as the means of
obtaining tilings they want of the rail
roads. Having dragooned the roads into
making the changes desired, the union
leaders make capital of it with the rank
and tile.
FILIBUSTER IS DEFEATED
i font lnud From Firt Page. )
to him that he was in the cloakroom
ready to come on duty at a moment's no
tice. The alert Aldrich noticed this man
euver and -straightway sent Oily Steve
Elklns to show the man from Missouri
something nice in the way of a hold-up
conversation.
As soon as Gore at down. Aldrich,
utandtng '.in the center aisle only a
few feet ' from the presiding officer's
rostrum, quickly moved that a vote be
taken on the motion to adopt the con
ferees report on the currency hill and
on that he demanded the yeas and
nay r. Before the Vice-President could
more than Anton a statement of the
question, and while the words were
still falling from hi lips, the hair
trigger clerk, having received his in
structions from the lender of the Sen
ate, began stinging out: t
Maplo Kollcjill Begins.
"Mr. Aldrich. "Yea," "Mr. Allison."
"Mr. Ankeny." "Mr. Bacon."
In H twinkling the Senate chamber
was in a grcm uproar. Senators rushed
to and fro. Men came running out of
t!ie cloakrooms, among them the h-nk
form of 'Gumshoe Hill," followed by
thr rotund and smiling face of Steve
Klkins. Three or four men were pre
pared to protest and to demand the
floor. Hut it was to late. The maple
rli o:U had begun, and, under the
rule, if enforce. 1 with an iron hand,
nothing on earth could interrupt' that.
And there stood Aldrich behind him,
the old guard of Republicans, victori
ous In a scon of great frays, deter
mined th;it they should be enforced.
It looked for a time as though the fili
busters might le able to continue their
taciies well into, it" not through, the
ntuht, mid during the afternoon consterna
tion was created in the Senate by the
report, tins time well authenticated, that
J-nrtton Davis was on his way to Wash
ington and would prepare to assist the
tilt buster with a two days speech, pro
lded the objectors could hold out until
Monday morning. As many of the Sen
ators had leen In their seats almost con
, tinuously Htm-e 11 o'clock Friday, the
Liroauct of th cooiliuiuuiun of tUo per
formance, disagreeable as it was in it
self, added much to the unpleasant as
pect of the case. Accordingly there was
general relief when at 1:30 P. M. a sug
gestion for a recess was received by the
Republican leaders from the Democratic
aide.
Filibuster Ends Suddenly.
The end of the filibuster came with a
suddenness that was almost startling.
When Gore concluded, after having
spoken for two hours, it was the opin
ion among those who were not in the
confldnnce of the leaders that the end
of the tight was still a long way off and
even the lenders were not certain that
it was not. It was generally understood
that Stone would attempt to resume his
speech and that La Follette also would
make a determined fight to regain the
floor.
La Follette Yields to Stone.
La Follette, at 7:03 A. M.r announced
that he was ''reluctant" to yield the
floor, but he said he realized that other
Senators desired to speak. Aldrich and
Stone arose simultaneously, the former
being recognized. He moved that, when
a vote should be taken on the pending
question, the adoption of the conference
report, the ayes and noes be called. The
motion was carried and Aldrich yielded
to Stone, who said to some of hU col
leagues that his remarks might be con
tinued for 16 hours or so. Obviously he
was puzzled by Aldrich's motion and ho
had asked what had been gained by it.
He did not learn.
Speaking in a voice so low that he i
could not be heard distinctly five feet
away. Stone's excessive modulation
awakened protests, especially from Scott
"If my remarks are of sufficient In
terest, the Senator can come forward. I
certainly shall not go backward," ans
wered Stone. Evidently La Follette was
satisfied that his successor was in trim
for the fray, for he laughed at the col
loquy and left the chamber to go home
to secure much needed sleep.
Xo Commission lYoiu Bryan.
On the Republican side Aldrich, Gal
lagher, Carter, Kean and others had
remained in their seats all night and
when, half an hour after he had begun;
Stone, expressing a desire to direct re
marks to his Democratic colleagues espe
cially, looked about the chamber in wist
ful search, he found there were only two.
Teller and Gore.
Aldrich broke into the discussion
with the remark that he had seen a
statement In the newspapers, "that the
Senator from Missouri is here with a
mission to speak In behalf of one of the
Presidential candidates (referring to Mr.
Bryan), and that being so. I think it
quite important we should hear his statement."
"I have no commission or permission
or request from any 'candidate for the
presidency to speak for," replied the Mis
souri Senator. "It is one of those rare
instances in which newspapers are en
tirely wrong." added Stone.
By far the largest Dart of Stone
address consisted of the reading of
newspaper extracts.
At 1:25 P. M., on motion of Aldrich.
the Senate took a recess for half an
hour. Preceding this there had been
15 or 20 minutes' discussion of Stone's
method of proceeding, -which culmi- '
nated in a point of order by Foraker
to the effect that the reading of doc- I
uments and papers, as indulged in by j
Stone, was contrary to the rules of the !
Senate and to Jefferson's manual. For- I
aker contended that under these rules
no paper could be read except by the
consent of the Senate. His point was
pending when the recess was taken.
Previous to Foraker's point. Hale
made an earnest appeal to Stone to
discontinue his filibustering tactics, but
the latter declined to do so. He said
his only purpose in assisting in the
filibuster was to attract public atten
tion to the bill, which ho considered
vicious legislation.
Democrats Call Ofr Stone.
"While Aldrich stated that his purpose
In moving the recess was to allow the
Senators time to take luncheon, the
real intent was to afford an opportun
ity to make certain representations to
Stone, which it was believed would
have the effect of Inducing him to
cease his obstruction. The motion for
the recess was made by Aldrich upon
a request from Democratic Senators,
and they immediately surrounded the
Missouri Senator with a view of bring
ing him to see the futility of his pro
ceeding. They were apparently suc
cessful with him, as was shown very
soon after the reconvening of the Sen
ate at 2 o clock, when the fact also
became apparent that Foraker's point
of order was intended to play its part
in influencing Stone to stop his filibus
ter and yield the floor. He did yield,
but only temporarily, and he subse
quently announced that he would in
sist on resuming as soon as Gore
should cease speaking.
When the Senate met again Stone en
tered a vigorous though brief protest
against the point of order made by For
aker, and Bacon and Teller requested the
Ohio Senator to withdraw It, saying that
it raised an important question that
should be debated at length.
Foraker agreed with them as to the im
portance of the point and, yielding to
their importunities, withdrew it. reserv
ing the right to press it later if, in his
judgment, the occasion arose.
Pernicious Bill, Says Gore.
Stone then announced he would not con
tinue his speech at this time and yielded
the floor to Gore. The blind Senator dis
claimed any responsibility for the pro
traction of the debate. It had been the
unusual eagerness for discussion and en
lightenment on the other side of the
chamber which had caused the debate to
drar Its slow length along, he said. He
promised at the beginning of his remarks
that he would never violate the rule which
forbids the reading of documents by Sen
ator&, He referred to the pending bill as a per
nicious measure. "I think," he continued,
"it is as bad as the limitations of human
injustice could make it." He was op
posed to the bill, he said, root and branch.
"It is wrong in principle and it will prove
unwise in policy," he declared. '
Gore charged that the bill continues the
ancient practice of farming out to private
corporations the sovereign prerogative of
issuing the currency of the realm, a prac
tice which ie as vicious as the practice of
farming out the power to collect taxes.
At the conclusion of Gore's speech the
vote on the report was taken and it was
adopted, 43 to 22, and the bill was thus
passed.
Four Republicans Oppose.
All the affirmative votes were cast by
Republicans, but Borah. Browne. Bourne
and Heyburn. Republicans, voted with
the Democrats against the bill. La Fol
lette voted in the affirmative for the pur
pose of moving a reconsideration of the
vote, which he did. despite opposition.
The motion to reconsider was laid on
the table by a vote of 45 to 17.
The Vice-President tonight announced
the appointment of Aldrich. Allison. Bur
rows, Hale. Knox. Daniel, Teller. Money
and Bailey as members of the Currency
Commission authorized by the act, Knox
is the only Senate representative on the
Commission who is not a member of the
committee on finance.

Open-Air Exercises Are Not Carried
Out, Owing to "Inclement Wea
ther Secretary Taft Speaks
at Grant's Tomb.
NEW YORK. May 30. Almost constant
rain, ranging from a drizzle to a down
pour, made today's observation of
Memorial Day only .a shadow of the elab
orate event which had been planned. The
first shower came almost before the rirst
of the thousands of marchers and holiday
makers had stirred from their homes.
From that time until the day was ended
there was scarcely a raoment when the
rain Was not falling. Sporting events
on every hand were cancelled, but the in
clement weather could not entirely
dampen the ardor of the gray-haired
veterans, who had faced many a storm
in their years of service nearly half a
century ago and about 7000 of them
turned out to take part in the parades
in the greater city.
Fortunately, the showers were light
and infrequent during -the early stages
of the big parade through Riverside
Drive, but scarcely had ' the marchers
passed the reviewing stand at the soldiers'
and sailors' monument when the clouds
fairly opened and the rain came down
in torrents.
Hughes Last to Leave.
Governor Hughes and staff were on
the stand. They withstood the down
pour a few minutes in the hope that
there would be a cessation and that the
programme exercises which had been
arranged could be carried out, but the
rain continued and the big gathering
scattered. Governor Hughes was one of
the last to leave. He went to the Hotel
Regent, where a luncheon had been ar
ranged In his honor, but was obliged to
leave after a few minutes to catch a train
for Albany.
Later in the day the rain almost pre
vented the other big event of the day
the gathering at Grant's tomb, at
which Secretary of War Taft delivered
the principal address. It was decided
finally, however, to carry out the pro
gramme insiae tne tomD, and there the
Secretary delivered his address in the
presence of the small gathering which
could find protection from the rain.
Secretary Taft said:
Taft Delivers Oration.
NEW TORK, May 30. The feature of
the exercises in this city today was
the address by Secretary W. H. Taft,
delivered at Grant's tomb. A large
crowd gathered to witness the cere
monies. Mr. Taft spoke in part as fol
lows: My Ffllow Citizens: The custom of deco
rating the graves of those who have died In
war for their country la a beautiful and use
ful one. It brings urn to a contemplation of
those crises in our history in which our
countrymen, numbered by hundreds of thou
sands, from a sense of duty solely, parted
with all that the Nation might live., I do
not know any place which thrills one's
bosom with patriotic ecstacy as the sepulcher
of the unknown dead in Arlington Cemetery.
The thought of the heroiem and sacrifice of
thane who, without a murmur and without
even hone of personal credit or glory, gave
up all to maintain a sacred cause, makes
all motive of personal advancement or am
bition seem small and sordid. It should take
us out for a time from the atmosphere of
self-seeking, of money-making or pleasure
hunting and of peaceful sloth, that we may
value again the many Instances It revives
of mental and physical courage, self-denial,
self-restraint and self-sacrifice.
' People StIU Patriotic.
'-The day. with Its reminiscences, assures us
that the hearts of our people today, eager
as they seem now In the search for wealth
and comfort, would furnish a response to the
Nation's call a1 full and as willing as the
response when the struggle for the Nation's
existence began in '61.
Ve are a humor-loving people. We dis
like shams. Our sense of the ridiculous Is
very keen, almost too keen, and in the mer
cantile and material spirit which has been
rife, we are prone to make light of exhorta
tions to patriotism and the forms and sym
bols through which patriotism finds expres
sion. 1 think we have gone too far in this
direction Patriotism Is a virtue and the
forms and symbols which suggest it and by
which we recognize Its existence and our
respect for it are proper reminders of a
serious duty and keep us in touch with it as
an elevating motive.
The disposition to dispense with ail form
which characterized our puritan ancestors
'has. I think, been greatly modified and rea
sonble persons recornlze the advantage of
ceremony not only in religious worship, but
also in the discharge of many other func
tions analogous to religious worship in the
sacred character.
Importance of Forms.
Mere forms they may be, but they are
evidences of the love of country and the
more frequent we feel the presence within us
oi sucn a reeling, the more certrin we can be
that our acts of courage and of self-sacrifice
will correspond with it when occasion arises.
Hence the celebration of a day lute this.
- It Is appropriate, therefore, for us to
gather at this magnificent structure, dedi
cated to the memory of one whose name in
the history, la the foundation and mainte
nance of this National life will always be as
sociated with those of Washington and Lin
coln. Secretary Taft then gave an -exhaustive
review of the career of General
Grant, dwelling long on the bitter
struggle against the' liquor habit,
which blighted his early career, and
on the fact that he volunteered his
services to the Government at the out
break of the Civil War not in the hope
of gaining military glory, but merely
from a sense of duty and patriotism.
He gave to Grant virtually the entire
credit for ending the war. saying that
it was the General's clearcut conception
of the fact that war meant fighting
day in and day out until the opposi
tion was crushed, that brought the ter
rible struggle to a close.
Grant knew and acted on the knowl
edge that might and right must win
and pursued the policy he mapped out
with unfaltering resolution until "Lee's
surrender ended the war.
BECORATES- SHERIDAN'S TOMB
Roosevelt Also Honors Unknown
Dead and Spanish War Heroes.
WASHINGTON, - May 30. President
Roosevelt and thousands of Washing
tonians today participated in the ob
servance of Memorial Day. All Gov
ernment departments and the principal
business houeeB were closed. Services
were held -at Arlington and all the
other cemeteries in the vicinity of the
city. A boat laden with flowers was
set adrift on the Potomac River in
tribute to the dead of -the Navy, and
there was a parade of military organi
zations and patriotic bodies.
At the Arlington National Cemetery
Representative Esch, of Wisconsin, was
the first speaker. Shortly after 10
o'clock this morning President Roose
velt drove to Arlington in an open
surrey accompanied by Charles A. Loef
fler, his doorkeeper, and took with
him a number of floral wreaths. One
of these was placed on the monument
of General Sheridan, another on the
tomb of the unknown soldiers of tne
Civil War, and a third on the monu
ment of the Spanish War veterans.
The President made no engagements
to speak this year because of the un
certainty as to the adjournment of
Congress.

BRTAX PRAISES PATRIOTS
Xo Greater Love Than Sacrifice for
One's Country.
SPENCER, Neb., May 30. William J.
Bryan was the orator of the day at the.
Memorial Day exercises here today. He
spoke to 5000 people. In part he said:
"This day has been set apart for the
commemoration services of those who
have- served their country in war. It is
a beautiful custom, and on each anniver
sary - the floral tributes laid upon the
graves of the dead and the words spoken
by the living give testimony to the grati
tude which we feel toward those who
gave the full measure of their devotion to
their country's cause. Patriotism is love
of country and sacrifice is the greatest of
love. Those who fell In battle gave their
lives: those who passed through the dan
gers of war and yet survive offered their
lives to their country. Greater love has
no man than this."

At 2 o'clock, half an hour before the

almost resembling a cloudburst, broke
over the city, but did not drive back
the collected crowds. In the pouring
