PRESIDENT TAFT AND LABOR.
Oregonian ; The Oregonian notes
that the Portland Labor Council has
passed a series of resolutions assail
ing in most intemperate language the
integrity of the President of the Uni
ted States and declaring that the pur
pose of his present journey through
out the country is to discredit the
Oregon system of government and to
promote the interests of the "billion
aire trusts." The President is also
charged with having used his ap
pointive power to "pack" the Supreme
Court of the United States in the in
terests of the trusts, and with hav
ing as Federal Judge issued injunc-1
lions coercing railroad employees to
work against their will. As Governor
of the Philippines it is declared that
he advocated unrestricted immigra
tion of Chinese to those islands.
It is a grave matter for any person
or any organization to impugn the
motives or question the honest pur
poses of any President. The Portland
Labor Council is open to the reproach
not only of having grossly assailed the
personal character of the President,
have not the slightest foundation in
fact, but are easily capable of being
shown to be baseless and untrue. The
Oregonian does not believe that the
resolution of the Labor Council re
flect the true sentiments of feelings
of that body, or that they were given
the consideration that should have
been given. Mr. Taft is not an enemy
of labor. He is a friend of labor.
He has shown his favorable attitude
on many occasions, as Judge, as Gov
ernor, and as President. The record
of Mr. Taft's labor decisions while
judge on the bench, and as governor
of the Phillipines is open alike to the
labor organizations and to the gen
eral public. It may briefly be sum
marized as follows;
The words of Judge Taft in the Ar
thur Phelan cases, in 1893-94, setting
forth the rights of labor organization
under the law were invoked and ap
plied in favor of labor unions in the
case of the strike of the Wabash Rail
road in 1903, and an injunction
against the union was dissolved.
In 1894, in adjudging the injunc
tion secured to prevent interference
with the operation of the Cincinnati
Southern Railway, and to keep open
interestate commerce. Judge Taft, in
determining the limits of labor organ
izations, made a notable statement of
the extent of the rights of labor. It
has since been frequently and success
fully quoted by friends of union labor
in various contentions in labor's be-1
half.
In 1899 Judge Taft became the
champion of the cause of labor in the
Narramore case, and as the Judge of
the United States Circuit Court of Ap
peals reversed the decision of the
court below and wrote an opinion that
has finally become in spirit and in let
ter the established law not only in
Ohio, but of the nation. He contro
verted. the doctrine of assumed risk
and contributory negligence, and held

that where an employer was violating
the law with regard to the uses of
safety appliances an injured workman
could recover damages and could not
be held to be a party to the law's
violation.
As Governor-General of the Philip
pines, he encouraged the organization
of the workmen into unions, and par
doned a labor leader who had been
convicted under an old Spanish law
for "conspiring to raise the wages of
As Governor-General, Mr. Taft took
a definite stand against the introduc
tion of cheap Chinese labor into the
islands, and assumed an unequivocal
position against the bringing of such
workmen into our dependencies, there
to be in competition with native labor.
The declaration that Mr. Taft has
his present swing
any purpose in
around the circle to attack the Oregon
system is based solely on his familiar
veto of the Arizona-New Mexico ad
wherein he vigorously
If the
mission bill,
opposed the recall of judges,
recall of judges is a principle vital to
the Oregon system, then it must be
conceded that Mr. Taft is opposed to
the Oregon system. But it must also
be admitted that other distinguished
gentlemen, like Theodore Roosevelt
and Woodrow Wilson, who have re
peatedly declared their support of the
Oregon system, are likewise its en
emies, for they, too, are opposed to
the recall of judges. The statement
that the President is inspired by any
deep purpose to upset or assault or un
dermine the Oregon system at the sug
gestion or inspiration of others, or for
any reason, is, of course, foolish and
preposterous. He is making his great
overland journey for reasons entirely
familiar to the public, wholly different
from the motives assigned to him
the Labor Council.
If the appointment of Governor
Hughes to be Justice of the United
I States Supreme Court, and the selec
tion of the distinguished and impec
cable Justice White to be Supreme
Judge of the United States is to
guilty of packing the supreme court,
the President can have no defense.
The judicial appointments of Presi
dent Taft, however, have been uni
formly wise and careful, and they
have met deserved approval. The
Portland Labor Council has certainly
made an amazing discovery as to the
present status of the supreme court.
The chairman of the committee who
presented these remarkable resolu
tions to the Labor Council was one
Ed Rosenberg. He was also
dcubtedly their author and the chief
influence that procured passage of the
resolutions by the council.
Edward Rosenberg, presumably the
same man, went to the Philippine Isl
ands in the interests of the American
Federation of Labor for the purpose
of investigating and reporting on the
labor situation there. Mr. Rosenberg
remained for some months and duly
made report of his findings to the
American Federationist. It will be
sufficient to oppose the statements by
Mr. Rosenberg as to Chinese and other
labor in the Philippines in 1903, to the
statements made by Mr. Rosenberg in
Portland in 1911. Mr. Rosenberg said
(See American Federationist, Decem
ber, 1903):
of the
un
in 1903
ment is continued: if Chinese are ex
cluded; if opportunity is given to la
bor to better its conditions by the
aid of trade unions: it children are
educated along American lines; and
it the greed of European and Ameri
adventurers is not allowed to rule
can
the Philippine Islands as it now rules
the Hawaiian Islands, the American
people in another generation will be
able to point with justifiable pride to
the success of democratic institutions
among an Asiatic people and forget
in these achievements the injustice
by the conquest of arms in the Phil
ippine Islands."
If it is not clear herein—though, in
deed, it ought to be perfectly clear—
that Mr. Rosenberg by these expres
sions definitely defined the attitude of
the government, of which Mr. Taft
was the responsible head, as being op
posed to Chinese immigration, an af
firmative statement to that effect will
be discovered in another report made
by him to the American Federationist
(October, 1903), wherein he said:
"The civil government is slowly but
steadily proving to the Filipinos that
American rule is really trying to make
the Filipinos as fit for self government
as the American people are; that the
purpose of American rule is not the
exploitation of the natives, hut their
elevation. Should Chinese be allowed
in here and the inevitable lowering of
already low wages take place, the
work of the commission would be un
done and where now hope of a better
day Is springing up in the hearts of
the natives, sullen despair and danger
ous resentment would take its place.
My investigations as to the present
system of exclusion carried on un
der the law of April 20, 1902, show that
so far as it is known it effectively ex
cludes the Chinese."
Mr. Rosenberg further appends a
report from Governor Taft, made Oc
tober 1, 1902, for the purpose of show
ing that he is friendly to the organiza
tion of labor unions on the islands.
As to the attitude of labor towards the
Chinese, Governor Taft said:
''The labor organizations in the City
of Manilla are very much opposed to
the introduction of Chinese labor and
their declaration upon this point will
find ready acquiesence in the minds
of all Filipinos with but few excep
tions. The truth is that from a politi
cal standpoint the unlimited introduc
tion of the Chinese into these islands
would be a great mistake. I believe
the objection on the part of the Fili
pinos to such a course to be entirely
logical and justified. The develop
ment of these islands by Chinamen
would be at the expense of the Fili
pino people and they may very well
resent such a suggestion."
The testimony of President Taft
himself, as to the Chinese labor in the
Philippines ought to be determinative
as to his attitude, although conflicting
statements of Mr. Rosenberg here and
in Manilla might tend to leave the open
mind in confusion. The Portland La
bor Council has made a serious mis
take. It ought not to have passed
those resolutions. They are unfair,
unjust and highly disrepectful, and
they do not state facts. The Labor
Council ought to rescind them, if it
values a correct public Judgment of its
actions and expressions.
TIME TO ACT.
The Sunday Oregonian of October 1,
in an editorial on the situation in Italy
in referring to its military prestige
over Turkey, among other things says :
"Perhaps it has been necessary for
the government to devote its revenues
mainly to military preparation, but the
consequence has been had for the peo
ple. Education and social betterment
have been sadly neglected while the
army has flourished. Most of the
population lives from the land, but the
farmers subsist on the verge of starva
tion and rural wages do not exceed
25 cents a day. About 45 per cent of
the population is illiterate."
As it is now well known that a
large part of the labor being employed
by the railroad companies and other
large employers of labor comes from
the country where 25 cents a day
wages prevail It will be readily under
stood what the future has in store for
the laborers in the United States if
they have to meet this kind of com
petition. Especially when it is known
that similar conditions prevail in
Greece, Austria, and other countries
which make up the aggregate of the
labor employed by the corporations
in the United States.
It is time that congress should take
notice of this invasion of cheap labor
and pass such restrictive laws as will
prevent the laboring men and women
of the United States from being low
ered to the level of the illiterate peons
of Europe and Asia.
