TAFT DEFIED LABOR.
President Personally Conducted the
Fight Against Labor Amendment
to Sundry Civil Bill.
Washington, June 23.—The action
of the house of representatives late
today. In receeding from its labor
amendment to the shndry civil bill,
marked the successful termination of
an all-day fighi with President Taft
against what he termed class legisla-
tion of an improper sort, and apparen
ly removed the last real obstacle In
the vay of an adjournment of con-
gress within the next few days.
President Taft spent the entire day
and bent every c:h.r> toward the de-
teal of the house Mr.cttdn ent which
proposed to exempt lador unions from
the operation cf the Slunman anti-
trust law. He threw his whole in-
fluence into the fight, sending for
several scores of representatives and
urging them to defeat the provision.
Mr. Taft declared that if it cost him
the support of every laboring man in'
the country he would not approve
such a provision of law. The labor-
ing man ,he believed asked only
equality before the law and was en-!
titled to no more.

improper legislation, and in my Judg-
ment, ought to be opposed by your
brotherhood.
"The laboring man and the trades
unionist, if I understand him, asks
only equality before the law. Class
legislation and unequal privileges,
though expressly in his favor, would
iu the end work no benefit to him
or to society.

TAYLOR'S annual fair tills week was nil unqualified success. The at-

a fair association. Why cannot we have a big fair each summer as
well as Taylor?

CHIEF JUSTICE Melville W Fuller Is dead and two other vacancies
on the supreme court are expected by resignation. This will allow Taft
to mini ■ a majority of the court during his administration. It is thought
that Gov. Hughes is slated for chief Judge ship.
INFORMATION from different parts of the state is to the effect that
Poind'x er forces are breaking up. The pros are going to Johnson and
the antics to Colquitt. The race now appears to be between these two,
Candida^ s, although Davidson's friends still insist that he is leading.
HON '. B. RANDELL of the Texas congressional delegation, lias been

cepting es, bribes and gif is from public service corporations, ought
to retvlv the unanimous support of the democratic and insurgent mem-
ber-, of i e house, which would be sufficient to pass it. Nothing that
m 'an l' nk of would be more beneficial to the people than to get rid of
the eorpi ition attorneys who are masquerading as representatives of the
people.

WAS GRATIFIED AT RESULT.
Ibis amendment to the big supply
bill which caused rumors to spread
today that there undoubtedly would
be a delay in the adjournment of con-
gress. Mr. Taft felt that he had
longer fight before him than proved io
be the ease and was doubtful of the
result until the vote was finally tak
en. When informed of the result lie
made no attempt to conceal his grati
I'lcation.
Incidentally, the president sent a
long telegram tonight to the eonven
tion of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Enginemen, meet-
ing at St. Paul, in which he outlined
his veiws on the matter. Tile tel
gram was in response to a message
of protest from the convention. For
several days past the White House
lias been fairly bombarded with let-
ters and telegrams from labor organi-
zations in favor of the house amend-
ment. The messages made public to-
night were as follows:
"St. Paul., Minn., June 22, 1910.
"To the president: Press reports of
today indicate that you favor using
the people's money to prosecute labor
in their efforts to better conditions.
The 798 delegates attending the twel-
fth biennial convention of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen at St. Paul instruct me lo
protest against this unjust policy.
W. S. Carter,
"President Brolherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Enginemen.”
REPLIED TO UNION.
"To W. S. Carter, President Brother-
hood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen.
"Your dispatch of June 22 received,
in which you say the press reports to-
day indicate that I favor using the peo
pie's money to prosecute labor In
their efforts to better conditions.
And you protest against such a policy.
1 presume you refer to the proposi-
tion now before congress that money
appropriated for the fiscal year 1911
for enforcement of anti trust laws and
acts to regulate commerce shall in no
part of it be expended in the prose-
cution of conspiracies in the nature o
boycotts lo Increase wages, shorten
hours or better the condition of labor.
“Tlie supreme court lisa decided
that such a boycott is a violation of
the Sherman anti trust law, and this
proposal is an attempt to withhold
the means of prosecuting that law
when It is violated by a particular
class thus to be made privileged. I
am entirely opposed to such class le-
gislation. If It were proposed to
amend the language of the Sherman
anti-trust, law itself so as somewhat
to narrow Its scope Hint would pre-
sent a proper question for considera-
tion; but so long as the present anti-
trust law remains upon the statute
books an attempt to modify its en-
forcerieni so as to render immune
any kiarticiilar class of citizens, rich
or pom employers or employes, l
An Endorsement.
We, the undersigned members of the
bar of Bastrop county beg to say
that in the course of our practice
we are necessarily thrown in con-
tact with the clerk of our district
court, and it affords us pleasure to
state that Mr. Thomas H. Parks, the
present Clerk, has at all times been
courteous, polite and efficient in
the administration of the affairs of
his office, and is in all things a
most competent mid satisfactory
clerk.
Very respectfully,

With pardonable pride I submit to
the consideration of the voters of
Bastrop county the above endorse-
ment, signed by every member of the
bar of said county, as to my quali-
fications and efficiency. During the
six years I have been clerk 1 have
striven to administer the affairs of
my office in a manner which would
be acceptable to all, and believe that
I have done so in so far as was with-
in my province. Practically all the
business the district clerk has, aside
from routine court work, is his deal-
ings with lawyers, and there can be I
none more competent to judge than
the lawyers at the bar of this county
as to my efficiency and worthiness.
Upon my merit alone am I seeking
re-election to the office, and while I
have not been able to see all voters
in person by reason of the fact that
my office duties have required my at-
tention a great deal since the be-
ginning of the campaign, I take this
method of soliciting the vote of each
of you and assure you that if re-elect-
ed I will serve you as faithfully, eour
teously and efficiently in tlie future
as in the past.
Yours respectfully,
THOS. H. PARKS.
