| ‘ PROGRESSIVES 0PPOSE MARTIN Do Not Favor Him for Sen- ate Minority Leader. SAYS FIGHT IS UNFAIR West Virginian Denies That He Is a Reactionary and Is Confident of Election—William J. Bryan Spends Half an Hour at the White House With President Taft. Washington, April 8—Democratic senyatcrs will caucus for the purpose of selecting a caucus chairman, a po- sition which carries with it the mi- nority floor leadership. The progres- sive element is strongly opposed to the selection of Senator Thomas S. Qlartin of Virginia, on the ground that he is a reactionary. They prefer a man of more progressive views, they said. Despite this opposition, the indi- cations are that Senator Martin will be chosen. Previous to the caucus about a doz- en Democratic senators who are ad- mirers of Mr. Bryan met in the office of Senator Owen and it was reported that they had decided to nominate Senator Newlands in opposition to Senator Martin. This, however, could not be confirmed. Friends of Senator Martin contend that he is not a reactionary, and that the fight against him is unfair. Bryan Explains to President. William J. Bryan explained at the ‘White House that he is not opposed to the selection of Senator Thomas S. Martin of Virginia as minority leader of the senate, but that he personally would not vote for Senator Martin if he were a member of the senate. Mr. Bryan spent almost an hour with President Taft, and before he left met practically every member of the president’s cabinet. He refused to say what subject he had discussed with the president. “It’s safe to say we talked about the weather and there were no differ- ences of opinion on that subject,” said the Nebraskan. OPPOSES HITCHCOCK RULE La Follette Urges Right of Railway Clerks to Organize. ‘Washington, April S8.—Senator La Follette intends to establish by legis lation, if he can, the right ot govern- ment employes to organize unions in ithe same manner that trades are or- ganized and affiliate with the Amer- ican Federation of Labor. His pur- pose has been made plain in a leiter sent to all employes of the railway mail service. The letter says: “The railway clerks have the right to organize. If the officers of the de- partment are endeavoring to prevent them from doing so by threats of dis- charge such action is without legal authority or moral right. “If T find conditions in the railway postal service to be generally such as I'as been reported I shall introduce and do everything in my power to rass a bill to prevent the continuation of such un-American practices and to rreserve to all government employes the right of petition which belongs to every citizen, and the right to form or join organizations for the improve- ment of their labor conditions.” PERKINS OUT IN NEW ROLE Former Partner of J.
