American Federation of Labor is the proof to our members of how accurately we foretold the action of the National Manufacturers Association They have made a very poor job of it They have to go back sixteen years in order to find any peg upon which they can hang a possible suspicion The man Rice who makes affidavit of having paid and received certain money from Samuel Gompers is a man who was formerly an advertising solicitor employed by the American Federation of Labor He was dismissed fOr dishonesty Wo have records in our office to prove this After his dismissal by the A F of L he traveled through various States getting out fake souvenirs and similar publications cheating business- men and lining his own pockets through his false assertion that he was the agent of the A F of L We usually proof of his rascality after he had the scene of operations so proeecu tlon was difficult Advertising Privilege Rices statements as to the amounts paid the A F of L for the advertising privileges of its annual publication front tho years 1S80 to 1968 are net only In correct as to the amounts paid but ho omits the Important fact that such sums asjie did pay were expended for the and not for my personal use The records of the A F of L show that these sums received from the sale of the advertising privilege of our annual were used to buy office furniture and to get out plates for some of our earlier pamphlets It must be tiered that the Federation was up to 1808 a comparatively new organization to get an equipment for its organ fairs and educational work Mr and his confederates pervert ed the original Idea of the A F of L souvenir publication and both before and after our magazine was established they systematically plundered both the busi- ness men and the local labor movement in various sections oC the country At our 1901 convention of the tion held at Scranton Pa our executive council sidled special attention to tile deceptive publications which were illegal using the name of the A F of L and asked and received authority to prosecute any persons who published souvenirs or other publications in which the A F of L was alleged as the ficiary This wiped out the general to some extent but Rice and his con federates thon turned their attention to getting out fake souvenirs alleging State and city central bodies as the bene ficlaries Their swindles were

While I might personally prefer tolet my life work speak for itaeif as

honesty and loyalty to the movementI have the honor to repraacat yet suchacv ous sad lying attacks cannot bepaused over la silence by the labor movement of the country and we feel thatthe general Imp ahould be given thetruth

That our opponent descend to personalabuse shows the low character of thecampaign they are conducting That theyhad to so trek stxtea years to fabricate-a charge against my honesty Is stgnifl

days ago replied Mr Cox He is hiexcellent health and was to start forWashington today I havent heard anytalk within the teat thirty or sixty daysof the elimination of Foraker have

ported ambition of Representative Longworth to succeed Foraker or CharlesDick in the United States Senate Ohthats alt talk and nothing more

Mr Cox for aa I understand thesituation Nicks fatherinlaw before hegoes one hi to give him a foreign mis-sion

The conversation then turned to Repreeeatatrve Barton Just defeated formayor of Cleveland by Mayor Tour LJohnson and the reputed ambition of-Mr Burton to auecrod eitheror Dick m the United States Senate

I guess thats all ended now said3Ir Cox for as I understand the sit-uation m Cleveland Mr Burton wasnominated for mayor by the expresswishes of the President Secretary Taftand Secretary GarfleW sad had Mr Bur-ton won he would without doubt havebeen in line for either or Dicksseat hi the Senate But if there has beenany elimination in Republican Ohio polltics I urn afraid tha Mr Burton insbeen the man who has been eUmtoatedfrom any further consideration as a pos-sible United Senator to succeedeither Foraker or Dick

Mr Cox asked concerning the del-egates at large for Ohio next year tothe national convention and what proportion of the district delegates front theState would be for Taft It is too earlyto tart about that replied Mr Cox

but as I understand the situation with-in a week or so the Republicans of Ohioare to take up that matter and lookInto it thoroughly The financialties in the East Middle West and theWest will have very much to do hi com-ing to a conclusion

District Lose ControlAltar grneral criUtJaai of the system ir

roans Mr Tweedaie saysi oaunnrtiTrn with the control of

the attaualiiijj the District attentaM to fnvKed ta the fact that quitea terge part of District appropriationsae paid annually by disbursing offlcroether than the dteburslng officerthe District upon vouchers wiJch

audited and approved Toy theaudtter The result of this system is

the District loses accountingcontrol over the moneys so paidMr Tweedaie enumerates twenty

seven expenditures went of them in larsamerce which thus pass out of th-

hanfff of the municipal bookkepe jThese Hews include payments of s K

ries to wart Justices expenditures for ttwo reform schools the Washingtonacqneduet lid Itajhttec of public grounds

Contteuiae Mr Tweedaie says

due occastoasd hy this method ofexpenditure I tactic attention to thcharge for the Maryland Institution ofthe Bond which represents moneys tint

Departt out of the permanent annual in-

definite approprhUtoa toe that purposewithout caions apoa the District authori-ties hi any way to pay the bills or evennotifying when the payment hadbeen made The consequence of thismethod of transacting business is that idthis annual statement there is a chargeagainst the District for payments madeto this Institution for the precedingseven years and in addition to thecharge the District te required to pay2 per cent interest on the son of moneyso paid by the Treasury Department Noaccountant however competent can everhope faithfully aadjcorrectiy to statethe actual expenses of the governmentof the District when such a condition Isallowed to exist

Let District Handle MoneyWhile it is recognised that Congress

wisdom has placed certain of thepabtte improvements and the race of public buildings sad grounds under the direc-tion and control of the Federal depart-ments and while the advisability of soplacing this control is sot questioned yetK te bettered If it is the desire of Congrwe that this method of handling ap

should continue that itshould be modified so that abide the di-

rection and control of the expenditureswould remain in the hands of the officerser departments sow risking the expendi-tures the actual payment of the moneyshould be made through the disbursingofficer of the District apes voucherswhich have been oertied and approvedby Ute oJncer having control of the ex-

penditures sad audited by the auditor ofthe District as is now required by law

As an example of the trouble arisingunder the present system I call attentionto the tact that at Ute close of the fiscalyear lB it was discovered that thedisbursing office referred to had in theirpossession large sums of money uponwhich the District was paying 2 per certinterest All this mosey was riot neededfor immediate use but bad beenpreparatory to making payments whichwere about to accrue

TMa resulted a loss to the Districtand appears to be a strong argument ifIn fact it is sot a matter of staple

to the taxpayers for placing the ex-
