THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. SATURDAY, SEPT. 19 REPUBLICAN PARTY AND LABOR Aa Equality of Opportunities Se cured for Wage Earner. rilli am H. Taft's Speech of Accept ance GHvea Party Record la Behalf ei Labor. . fWUlUn B. Taft In bit speech of ac ceptance.) We ooae bow to the question of la,- lor. Oae Important phase of the poli ties ef the present administration has keen an anxiety to secure for the wage earner an equality of opportunity and ioeh potlUTe statutory protection ts hall plaos him on a level In dealing with his employer. The Republican party has passed aa easployers' liability act for Interstate railroads, and has established, an eight . hour law for gOTeronient employes and en government construction. The ea evnce of the reform effected by the for mer, Is the abolition of the fellow Mr rant rale and the introduction of the eomparttlve negligence theory by which aa employe Injured in the senrice ef his employer does not lose all his right to recover because of slight negli gence on his part . Then (here is the act providing for compensation for Injury to government employes, together with the various statutes requiring safety appliances spon Interstate commerce railroads for the protection of their employes and limiting the hours of their employment These are all Instances of the desire ef the Republican party to do Justice to the wage-earners. Doubtless a more comprehensive measure for compensation of govern ment employes will be adopted In the future; the principle in such cases has been recognized and in the necessarily somewhat slow course of legislation will be more folly embodied in definite statutes. ' The interests ef the employer and the employe never differ except when It comes to a division of the Joint profit ef labor and capital Into dividends and wages. This must be a constant source ef periodical discussion between the employer and the employe, as indeed are the other terms of the employment To give to employes their proper po sition in such a controversy, to enable them to maintain themselves agaimst employers having great capital,, they may well unite, because in union there fe strength, and without It, each indi vidual laborer and employe would be helpless. The promotion of the indus trial peace through the Instrumentality f the trade agreement is often one of the results of such union when Intelli gently conducted. There is a large body of laborers, however, skilled and unskilled, who are not organized into unions. Their rights before the law are exactly the same as tiose of the union men, and are to be protected with the same care and Watchfulness. ' In order to Induce their employer Into a compliance with their request for changed terms of employment workmen have the right to strike in a body. They have a right to use such per suasion as they may, provided It does not reach the point of duress, to lead their reluctant co-laborers to Join them In their union against their employer, and they have a right, If they choose, to accumulate funds to support those engaged in a strike, to delegate to f .ficers the power to direct the action of the union, and to withdraw themselves and their associates fron deaflngs with or giving custom to those with whom they are in controversy. TAFT'S KINDNESS TO BLIND. Overrules Washington Monument Begulation for Benefit of the Sightless. The kind heartedness of Mr. Taft and his sincere, common sense sym pathy with the unfortunates in this world has Just been brought to the at tention of the blind in a peculiar way. Away up in the top of the Washing ton monument, where thousands go to behold the beauties of the nation's capital, the Columbia Polytechnic in stitute, which seeks to make It possi ble for the adult blind of the United Btates to rise above conditions of de pendence by becoming self sustaining, placed en sale souvenir post cards manufactured by its blind. Some sen timental persons took the view th.it this was undignified aud succeeded in having the superintendent .of public buildings and grounds order the card removed. F. E. Cleavelaud, principal ef the Institute, appealed to Mr. Tuft, then secretary of wnr and within whose Jurisdiction came the office of public buildings and groundn. It took ely a few words to eenvinee the sec retary that the blind should have tho benefit of this privilege, and the cards were again placed on sale in the mon ument t 'v -' "Tor this action," said Prinolpal Cleaveland' In discussing the incident, "Mr. Taft .deserves the gratitude of every bliBd person, particularly the progressive blind, who are striving to heln their less fortunate fellows." ii . . ' . In Georgia the electors must have a majority, and with Watson, iliisgen and Cbafla pulling away from 'tin in the Bryanltes are becoming spprehcusire. DEMOCRATIC HOPE SIDETRACKED Taft and Foraker Shoulder te Shoal der for Republican Principles, v' Another Democratic hope has been sidetracked. Hint was that United States Senator Foraker would not sup port the Taft candidacy, and would thus impair his cluuices of carrying the State of Ohio. The two big Outoaus fittingly met at the 0. A. R. reuulon in Toledo, and publicly and good-naturedly cast what differences may hare existed between them to the air. Mr. Taft's contribution to the treaty of peace was as follows: "It is a pleasure for me to be here with Senator Foraker, because when Ccrernor of Ohio be gave me my first chance and took a good deal of risk lu pulling a man of 29 on the bench of the Superior Court of Cincinnati. We are about to enter or rather have en tereda great oratorical campaign. It ix a pleasure to think In this presence that we are going. to stand In the campaign shoulder to shoulder, with the full strength of the Republican party." " In response Senator Foraker deuled that enmity had existed between Mr. Tuft and himself, and said: "Under the circumstances I hope I may be pardoned if I soy here in this presence the first time I have had opportunity to say It that there is uot row and so far as I know there never has been the slightest HI feeling of any Mud between Mr. Taft and myself. "If there Is anything I have a right to claim beyond another, it is that I im Republican three hundred and sixty- five days In the year. I have my prcf preurei sometimes as to who should receive the honors of the pnrty, and everybody generally finds out what they e. But I am one of those old fiish- om'd Republicans who settle every sm-h inestion. at the convention. When the Chicago convention nominated Mr. fa ft he the Republican candidate for the Presidency this year, that Instant be became my leader. He has been uiy wider ever since, aud he will be my eader until the polls close on the night )f the election." Mr. Foraker followed with an esti mate of Jnd? Taft's fltnes for the office he seeks by repeating what Bishop Fallows bad said before him. "I want to repeat it" he said, "that his experience ou the bench, In the Philippines, as Secretary of War, In the construction of the Panama Canal. In all the positions be has filled, ha been such as to qualify Mr. Taft al most beyond every other man for the Presidency. We are going to elect him. and If he does not make a success of It, it will be his own fault" Senator Foraker followed this state ment with a review of his early ac quaintance with Judge Taft, and the favorable impression be then gained of him. WHERE SHERMAN STANDS. Approves Legislation to Improve the Conditions of Labor. (From Sherman's Speech of Accept ance.) The Republican party believes in the equality of all men before the law; elieves in granting labor's every re peat that does not seek to accord rights to one man denied to another. air-minded labor asks no more, no less, and approves the record of the Republican party because of that par ty's acts. I have helped to make my party's record in the enactment of the Eight Flour law, the Employers' Llabllltj ict, the statutes to minimize the tin. ard of railroad employes, the Child Labor law for the District of Columbia and other enactments designed especial ly to Improve the conditions of labor. I cannot hripe to better state my posi tion on injunctions than by a Speclfl" endorsement of Mr. Taft's Cincinnati declaration on that subject. That en dorsement I make. But He Buns on Forever. (From the New York Sun.) What will Mr. Bryan say After next election day? Mr Bryan will Insist That he is an optimist. Beaten three times! What of that? He's the one great Democrat Witling for his fellow men To be beaten once again. Read the Commoner and learnt Mr. Bryan, Mr, Kern, Sail together on this trip . In the old, oft stranded ship. (They have quarters in the stern I. In this antiquated craft, Willie they gaze at Mr. Taft Miles ahead the race near done And by Taft and Sherman won Mr. lryan, ever wise, Doubtless will philosophize And to Mr. Kern recite That remark, already trite, All pntred and often sprung; 'Butten? Yes,, but I'm still young." I t-an wait another four Years, then try the race once more, I have got this thing down pat, I'm the one great Democrat!" Julian Durani Making or Keeping Promises. The difference between Mr. Taft's Sroinlse of tariff . revision and M Aryan's pledges ia the sane direction rs that Mr. Taft if elected will be '.a position to redeem his pledge, while Mr. Bryan if elected would he power less to, accomplish aaything with a Republican Senate arrayed atai&tt his dee trade plana, Omaha K&l. .
