OFFICIALS IN ENGLAND
TRY TO END BIG STRIKE
LONDON, Aug. 17. A crisis in the
labor situation here today is immi
nent. Representatives of the railroad
managers and employes, Ramsey Mc-
Donald, labor leader in parliament,
Includes among the latter, held all
nignt conferences In an effort to
avert a general strike. The railroads
are expected to grant concessions but
the government, prepared for' the
worst emergency, already has mass
ed 25,000 troops at Aldershot. The
cabinet again met in extraordinary
session and endorsed the policy of
holding the troops in readiness.
Differences between employers and
workmen on the street cars and sub
way lines in London have been set
tled but it is thought that the men
will go out if a general railway strike
Is ordered.
About 175,000 Is the estimated
number of railway employes. Sir
Guy Granet, manager of the Midland
railroad, declared he did not believe
that more than 30 per cent would
strike. He said his road expected to
to continue service under government
protection.
food.
LONDON, Aug. 18. With railway
traffic In the north already paralyzed
and transportation facilities over the
entire country badly demoralized, la
bor leaders today declare that the re
sponse to the general strike orders
has exceeded expectations and pre
dicts that three days more will wit
ness the complete tying up of ever
railroad In Grent Britain.
Government officials admit that
starvation conditions will prevail In
four-fifths of the homes in the larg
er cities within the next six days.
London today was further crippled
by the tube employes striking. Thou
sands of visitors are here without
their baggage or personal effects.
Many Americans are stranded, num
erous teachers fearing they will be
unable to return to the United States
In time to resume their duties.
The steamship lines are planning
to run automobiles between London,
Liverpool and Southampton, but all
sailings of liners for the present are
suspended.
Protests against the use of troops,
of which there are 15,000 In this city
alone, are pouring In from all di
rections. Pro-labor newspapers aRsert
that the adoption of the same tac
tics In France caused the downfall
of the Brland ministry.
The railway managers this atter
noon announced that they had decid
ed to abide by the government's of
fer of a royal commission to settle all
labor differences, and would refuse
to make further concessions, xor give
recognition to union employes.
It Is estimated that 100,000 non-
j strikers are Idle as the result of the
tie-up In transportation, and It is ex
pected that this number soon will be
Increased to half a million.
Railway officials today conferred
with Premier Asqulth, Chancellor
Lloyd-George, War Secretary Hal
dane and President Buston of the
board of trade. At noon, J. II. Thom
as, assistant secretary of the railway
union, declared that the men were
more determined than ever to rejert
the royal commission proposition.
In view of the present crisis, parl

NO APOLOGIES FOR
ALLOWING MERGER
NEW YORK, Aug. 17. Empha-
sizing his desire to assume all re
sponsibility for allowing the rteel
trust to cobble ud the Tennessee Coal
& iron company in the paite days of
1907, Theodore Roosevelt, in a slgn-
ed editorial in The Outlook today, de
clares he has not apologies to offer
for his action. The article says:
"Nobody need feel either concern
or hope as to whether anything done
In my administration will be' 'dis
covered for the excellent reason that
nothing was hidden. It was not my
privilege or In my power to sear-'h
in the hidden domain of motive. My
action was not condltloend upon what
I believed to be the motives actuat
ing the steel corporation, but upon
the belief that the action they propos
ed would enormously benefit the
general community at that particu
lar moment.
."Whether the chief motive of the
steel corporation's action was to ab
sorbs ' the Tennessee Coal & Iron
company, or whether it was to save a
threatened New York firm from fail
ure and thereby stop the panic, did
not concern me. That borth motlvus
were In their mind and thought, I
still think is possible. My concern
was that action should be taxen and
the situation saved. '
"Most people have short memories,
but if they will consider the situation
carefully, they will understand that
It was not a question of saving any
bank or trust company, but of saving
the plain, common people iu all parts
of the country from dreadful misery
and suffering. This my action did.
"One question which has been put
to me Indicated a disbelief that my
action was c-eAlly fflclent In stop
ping the panic. At that time and
for months thereafter no man would
have ventured to express such disbe
lief unless he were prepared to be
greeted by the derision of every man
knowing anything of the actual facts.
The action taken was, In my Judg
ment, the only action that would
stop the panic and It certainly was an
enormous and, In all human possibili
ty, the decisive step that actually
stopped it. ,
"The purchase of the Tennessee
company did not of Itsolf affect the
status of the steel corporation so far
as the Sherman law was concerned.
My idea was to meet the facts as they
were, not the facts as they might af
terward become."

PRESIDENT VETOES BILL
LOWERING WOOL TARIFF
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. In a
special message to congress, Presi
dent Taft todayt vetoed the wool re
vision bill, giving as his reason his
belief that information was not now
available showing how the wool rates
should be reduced, and declaring that
no data had been presented to him
which would satisfy him that the
bill vetoed would accomplish the
proper reduction.
The president asked congr3 to
wait for 90 days until the report of
the tariff board has been received,
and promised that he would then re
commend such revision of the wool
tariff as seemed necessary according
to this report. His veto message de
clared:
"If ever there was a schedule
needed "consideration, Investigation
and elaborate explanations by experts
before Its amendment, It Is schedule
K. .
"No evidence regarding the cost
of production here and abroad has
been published and the compromise
amendment in the senate was adopt
ed without reference to or considera
tion by Its proper committee."
Quottng from the republican plat
form of 1908 particularly that clause
teetivepledglng the party to "main
tain a protective tariff," the presi
dent Bald he was then pledged to dis
approve the bill. He said:
"It Is moderately estimated that
5,000,000 American people would be
Injuriously affected by any ill-advis
ed impairment of the wool and wool
en industries. If I did net guard, so
far as I can, the Industries of the
country by giving them the benefit
of a living measure of protection and
business disaster ensued, I would not
be discharging my duty. If I do not
recommend a revision of excessive
dutleB to this extent, I shall fall In
my duty to the consuming public."
There Is no public exigency re
quiring the revision of schedule K
In August with inadequate informa
tion, the president declares.
"December was fixed by both par
ties in the last congress for the sub
mission of adequate Information re
garding schedule K, with a view to
amendment.
"Certainly the public welfare
would be better conserved by delay
ing action for 90 days in older to
do justice to a proper reduction,
than by bluntly enacting a law now
which might seriously Injure the In
dustries Involved, as well ns the bus
iness of the country generally."
