THE STRIKE REPORT
What Representative Storer Says of the
Commissioners Recommendations.
Not Time to EmbOdy Them Into Law
the Coming Session, but Such
Law VIII Surely Come.

Representative Bellamy Storer of the
commerce committee of the House of Rep
resentatives, and one of the leaders in
formulating legislation affecting railroads
and commerce, says:
THE recommendations of the national
strike commission cannot be embodied int o
law at the coming session, as the time is
too short to take up such a great question
But a law on the general lines suggested
by the commission is sure to come at an
early day, and railroad men will consult
their own interests IL they recognize and
accept the inevitable. 1t will be no ex-
pertinent for the federal government to
give its protection to class of employees.
Already the national shipping laws pro-
tect sailors. The latter cannot be hired
and discharged at WILL but must be hired
for definite time. usually voyage. and
the federal law protects them in the exc
cution OF this contract. The government
has been so careful to guard this class of
employees that sailors have the extreme
legal right or hbeling a ship and tieing it
up for non-payment of wages.
1t is rather singular, therefore, to hear
surprise expressed at the suggestion that
railroad and other Interstate corporation
employees should have the benefit Of a
national law. The shipping laws have
demonstrated their usefulness, and you
charged. There are no sailors strikes.
And the analogy between vessel men and
railroad men is so close that what has
proved to be good for one will undoubtedly
be good for the other
Mr. Storer says 1t would be entirely
feasible for the Interstate commerce COM
mission to be given charge Of the national
railroad laws, which would obviate the
necessity of creating a new commission.
The two great questions l am hopeful
OF seeing passed at the coming session."
said Mr.. Storer, ARE the Nicaragua canal
bill and the bill permitting railway pooling
under certain limitations. There will be
little done before Christmas holidays. and
after that January and February will give
no time for new legislation. But these
measures are fully matured. and are of
vast commercial Importance, so that they
can readily be disposed of. There are no
party considerations involved In either BILL
so that both sides can stand together In
passing two measures of such wide public
Importance"

LABOR IN HAWAII.
Mr. Hastings Says That Skilled
Classes Are Welcomed There.

Mr. Hastings Says That Skilled
Classes Are Welcomed There.
Mr.. Hastings, the charge de affaires Of
the Hawaiian legation, believes that the
newspaper interview attributed to Minis
ter Thurston regarding the intention Of
Hawaii to rid herself of the Japanese
laborers, which has caused i'll feeling be-
tween the two governments, was not a
correct quotation. Minister Thurston was
in Washington but few days early in
the fall after his return from Hawaii and
Mr.. Hastings says that he recollects that
on that occasion Mr.. Thurston remarked
that one or two newspapers had fabricated
interviews with him out of the whole
cloth.
Mr. Hastings was not surprised at the
announcement that many American labor
ing men who had gone to Hawaii are in
straits there. Opportunities for common
laborers, he says. are monopolized by the
Chinese and Japanese, who work cheaper
than Americans could afford to because
they can live much more cheaply. High
class skilled Iaborers are in demand there
and most of the positions, such as over
seers and engineers, requiring superior in
telligence, are held by Americans or Euro
peans. Skilled classes of laborers or men
with small capital to help develop the re-
sources of the country are welcomed and
find advantageous opportunities awaiting
them.

TO HELP GERMANY.
Denmark Excludes American Beef and
Meats.

Count Reventlow, the Danish minister,
first heard Of Denmark's action in exclud-
Ing American beef and meats through al
Associated Press cable from Copenhagen.
The count expressed surprise, as no action
In that line had heretofore been contem-
plated. He said the action was probably
due to a request from Germany, as beef
received at Danish ports frequently would
find it's way into Germany. and thus. over
come the German restriction. Count
Reventlow saws Denmark uses very little
American beef or meat products. He had
never heard that any Of the American
product In Denmark was affected with
Texas fever. Under these circumstances
he feels that the &C ton of Denmark is not
SO much aimed against the United States
as IL is to make Denmark's neighbor, Ger
many, effective in her exclusion. The min
lister has not yet received eny official adj
vices en- the subject.

A PENSION OFFICE ORDER.
Calculated to Greatly Expediate the
Business I'm the Office.

Commissioner Lochren of the pension
office has issued an order destined to expe-
dite business in the Office and to especially
reduce the amount of time taken up In
answering pension claimants and attor-
neys as to the status of certain cases. 1t
has also been decided not to furnish the
claimant or attorney information a second
time to the status of a case. The cir
cular issued today provides for a syste-
matte manner Of giving the information
without occupying much time or making It
necessary to trace the particular case in
quired after into every division where It
Is required to be considered. 1t is claimed
that the new order will result in largely
expediting the adjudication of pension
claims, as the commissioner can he readily
informed as to the progress Of the work
In the different divisions.

THE Knights Of Labor under the
leadership Of j, r. Sovereign, master

the issue of bonds, but failed. The

cessity for a vain effort to head off
the secretary OF the treasury now.

and worked for Weaver, he would

ing the peoples party in the demand
that the government alone shall be
the source Of the money supply and
that it shall rest upon the historic
foundation Of silver and gold, to be
coined without limitation. The sue
cess Of the present clearly defined
purpose Of the money power to wrest
the sovereign prerogative from our
government and transfer it to private
corporations, after the European
method, would to certainty result
in giving permanency to the present
domination Of the forces Of produc-
ton by organized wealth. The power
to issue money, even under the closest
governmental restrictions, would give
to private corporations sure to be-
come a syndicate and TO operate I'M
der one supremely selfish impulse
the power to contract or expand the
volume Of the currency at pleasures;
since that power carries with IL the
control Of our industries and the fate
OF the millions who are dependent
upon them, it's surrender to private
avariCe would be fatal to the people.

triotlsm Of bankers as a mere ques-

ruin upon the country" The bank
ing business proper is indispensable
to modern commerce and those en-
gagged in it are probably as a rule no
worse nor any better than the aver
age Of those in other avenues Of busi-
ness, But there are bankers und
bankers. The epithets to which Gov.
ernor Admas takes exception, when
used intelligently, have been directed
against the ring Of Eastern bankers
who hunkoed the repeal Of the pur-
chasing clause Of the Sherman Law
through congress by organizing The
panic Of last summer and by keeping
a bureau Of a thousand clerks EN-
ployed for months in flooding tn,
country with lying circulars to de
ceiye the people and manufacture
false public opinion to be reflected
upon the peoples representatives
Those were the bankers who havl
been denounced from ocean to oceaI
as dastardly conspirators, not "siminl
at poverty for the people," but seek
ing their own grasping ends with ut
ter indifference to the welfare of th,
people and with the result Of bringing
ruin upon the country. AS for th,
