Roosevelt Upholds Workers’ Union Rights
President Roosevelt has again taken his stand on the right of a workingman to resist the demands of a labor union. According to a Washington despatch in the Woman's National Daily, he has ordered a reprimand for Willis L. Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau, for his action in the case of a printer named Cooper in his office who had been expelled from the Typographical Union for not paying his strike assessments. It is said that Moore urged Cooper on two occasions to pay his assessments, but the latter refused, and was expelled from the union. Then Cooper was transferred to New Orleans, and he alleges that this action on the part of Moore was intended as a punishment for not complying with the demands of his union.
