SPEAKS TO RAILROAD MEM
Tells Yhem Organization Is Good. But
That All Men Have Right to Earn
Living — Visits Scenes of His
Boyhood.
Worcester. Mass . April 4—President
Taft addressed a bis mass meeting of
railroad employes who are in attend
ance at the railroad workers’ woven- ;
tion here at Mechanics' hall, and was
most heartily cheered by his auditors
The president left Washington Sat
urday evening in his private car. and
arrived yesterday morning at Mill
bury. That town was his home during
his school and college days, and he
split the morning there as the guest
of Miss Delia Torrey. a sis'er of the
president's mother, who died there
three years ago while he was in the
Philippines,
Is Escorted by Militia.
At 12.30 o'clock Mr. Taft en
tered an automobile and started
for this city, escorted by a large
party of railroad men also in motor -
cars. Five companies of the local
militia met the chief executive at the
city limits and escorted him to Me
chanics' hall, where the convention is
being held. Mayor James 1-ogan
greeted Mr. Taft to the city. and Gov.
Kben S. Draper delivered the address
of welcome on behalf of the state. The
president’s speech followed, and was
listened to with the utmost interest.
Condemns Sympathetic Strikes.
In his address, which met the hearty '
approval of the 2.tHM> railroad em
ployes. the president condemned the
boycott and sympathetic strike, but
put his approval on intelligent labor
organisations, llis speech bristled w ith
sharp points and cut both ways. In ’
indorsing union labor he declared with
force that he put "above everything
the risht of every man to labor as he
will, to earn the wages that he will,
lind if he choose? to stay out of labor
organizations, well and good."
lie warned his hearers that his ex
perience in dealing \vitli labor men
bad convinced him that "the best
(^ourse is to talk right out and tell them
what you believe to be the truth They
will accord you the compliment of sin
cerity and a desire to reach the truth
"If 1 did not talk right out and tell
you what 1 thought," said the presi
dent, "you would not have the respect
that 1 hope you will have lor me when
1 tell you what 1 believe to be the
truth."
Is Not "Father of Injunctions."
Thou be modestly disclaimed being
ihe "father of injunctions." but imme
diately put himself on record as still
favoring the injunction in certain
cases with ’.he reforms that have been
promised, and which are embodied in
the Mil now before congress. In this
count'd ion there was a broad hint of
his tooling toward certain Insurgents
in his remark that '>^ile .he didn't
know whether lie would be able to get
(ho injunction Mil through congress, it
had "been promised In ihe Republican
platform, and that is the plaitorm 1
was elected on," said t he president
UKvniedb He renewed his\leelaraliot\
that he had consulted raiiroad presi
dents in connection with the railroad
bill ar.d would not consider that he had
done Justice to ill if he had not. H,e
made an explicit promise to sign the
amended employers' liability hill which
was adopted in conference in Washing
ton., Throughout the speech there w'as
a uote of defiance of his critics.

mated. The Manly elevator alone con
tained 85,000 bushels of w heat.

MORE SEA FIGHTERS
LOWER HOUSE VOTES FOR TWO
BIG WARSHIPS.
WILL COST SIX MILLIONS
Hobson Wanted to Build Three Ship*,
but Hi* Amendment Wa»
Finally Cut Out.
Washington—By a decisive vote ot
182 to lltt. fourteen being present and
ret voting, the house authorised the
construction of two battleships to
cost *8'\m,000 each. Thirty-three
democrats voted for two tutttieships
and t^^Stv-four republicans against
the pr^vs^Sor.
This action was taken just prior to
the passage of the naval appropria
tion bill, carrying $l2!ktVS7,«X'2. This
amount :s about SlvtXXVvXX' less thsa
was recommended hy the Navy de
partment. In addition to the battle
ships the bill also provides for the
construction of two fleet colliers and
four submarine boats
As amended on motion of Mr. Fit*
gerald of New York, the two battle
ships and two feet colliers must be
constructed by firms operating under
the eight-hour law.
After fixing an hour and one-half as
the time for debating amendments for
the authorisation of battleships the
house wasted a large part of that
time in a parliamentary contention
concerning the manner in which the
time would be divided between the
two side's The debate proceeded un
der the five-minute rule.
The committee on naval affairs had
reported in favor of authorixing two
battleships. Mr Tawney of Minne
sota. chairman of the appropriations
committee, offered an amendment
providing for only one battleship,
w hile Mr. Hobson proposed an amend
ment providing for three
Mr. .Hobson contended that three
battleships would give no increase,
but would provide only for the ordi
nary depreciation in the naval force.
By an almost unanimous, vote tha
house rejected the proposition.
Mr. Gronna of North Dakota moved
to strike out the authoriiation for the
construction of any battleships, a viva
voce vote showing there were not a
handful advocates of a "no battle
ship" policy.
Speaking in favor of his onobattle
•hip plan - Mr Tawney reiterated his
statement that Ti per cent of th*
revenue of the country was being ex
pended for wars that had pissed and
for preparation for wars to come. He
declared that one battleship was su!
fleient to maintain the proper
strength of the navy.
Mr, Thomas of Ohio proposed an
amendment for four battleships, but
the house voted it down, almost un
antuNoualy Mr Tawney's amendment
for one battleship was also lost by a
vote of HM to 11!S At least thirty
democrats voted w :;h the republican*
against Mr Tawney's plan
Mr, Goidtogie offered an amend
ment providing that at leas: one bat
tleship should be constructed at a
navy yard, the second to be built
either by contract or at a navy yard
Viter extended discussion Mr Mann
of Illinois, who Occupied the chair, de
clared the amendment to be out of
order.
An effort was made by Mr N\-rr <
of Nebraska, an "insurgent." to
amend the bill to provide for one bat
| lleship and six transports, the latter
1 to cost $1,000,000 each The amend
ment was ruled out of order,
Representative J Hahmpton Moore
of Philadelphia attempted to induce
the house to limit the draft of the
r.j'w battleships to thirty feet, but his
amendment for that purpose was re
jected Various other amendments
were offered to - control the building
! of the battleships under the operation
of the eight-hour law and within navy
yards, but they were all ruled out of
order. Thirty-three democrats voted
with the republicans for two battle
ships. while twenty four republicans
joined the democrats in favor of one
battleship.
