PreiUnt Taiei Willi - Narvous Breakdown NOT SO SERIOUS AS BEFORE Her Seizure Similar to One Two Ye.ra Ago President in Speech at Har. risburg Condemns Unionization of Federal Employees. New York, May 15-Mrs. William H. Taft suffered an attack of nervous trouble here similar to that with which she was seized just two years ago while making an excursion on the pres'dentiul yacht Sylph from Wash inston to Mount Vernon and which caused her abandonment of social ac tlvities for some months thereafter. Mrs. Taft came to New York with the president after he had kept an evening speaking engagement in New ark and attended with him a banquet given in connection with the confer ence on reform of the criminal law of procedure in the Hotel Astor. It was during the dinner that Mrs. Taft first felt III, but she remained until attei the president had finished his address and went to t tie home of his brother, Henry W. Taft. In the morning Mrs. Talt's condition was such that she could not accompany him to Harris burg. Contrary to his personal Incli nations, but In the belief that it would do much to silence sensational reports of the seriousness of Mrs. Talt's ill ness, President Taft went to Harris burg. He had Intended to spend the night there, but Instend he remained three hours nnd then returned here to the home of Ills brother, where Mrs. Taft lies ill. Henry W. Taft said that the presi dent's wife had remained In bed all day, but that tdie was less seriously 111 than she was two years ago. In the few hours he was In Harris burg the president motored through streets that were lined with thousands of persons, silent for the most part be cause they had heard through bulle' tins posted about town of Mrs. Taft's Illness, and made a speech to the con ventlon of railroad trainmen. Hits Unions of Federal Employees. The president spoke of trades unions, their good and bad points, but he wound up by defining his position in regard to tho affiliation with the Amer lean Federation of Ialior of organiza Hons of government clerks. The ques tion, he said, la most likely to come up In congress. It presents a serious nroblem which he said demands the attention of the whole people. "I think," said the president, "some persons have gone to the extreme of holding there ought to be no combina tions of government employees per mltted. I think, however, that 'in all governments the employees are per mitted to combine and have associa tions for their betterment. Danger to the Republic. "The proposition now Is tint surh combinations should be allowed to affil iate with trades union organizations and to use the same methods in secur ing better terms of employment. In other words, that It Is entirely proper lor postal employees and others to com bine In an association to affiliate with the American Federation of Uihor, and then to hold In reserve as an Instru ment for enforcing their claims the boycott and the strike, which are instruments recognized by the Ameri can Federation of labor. This pre sents a very serious question and one which, If derided in favor of tho right of government employes to strike and use the boycott, will be full of danger to the government nnd the re public. I do not think that reasonable minded trades union men will fail to .ee the broad difference that exists be I ween their case nnd that of the class of government employees who are privileged not only In the amount of their compensation, the less number of hours of their employment and the greater permanency of tenure and who serve the government of all the peo ple, the very existence of which would be threatened should they combine to gather to quit the government service all at once and naralyze the benefit that government Is properly supposed to confer upon the people at large MOURNED AS DEAD, RETURNS Iowa Girl Eloped With Man Thirteen Years Ago.
