PANAMA CANAL AND RAILROAD
consu! Fnquain Makes an Exhaustive
Report to Nr. Olney.

Report to Nr. Olney.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l0.-An exhaust.
i've report has been made to the state
department by United States Consul
General Vifquain at Panama upon the
business Of the Panama railroad and
the prospects Of the canal. He shows
that there is a small but steady increase
Of the number of American steamers
calling at Panama, and they carry
twice as much as all the other steam
ers. In five years the number Of ar.
rivals of American vessels has increased
from 55 to 81, while the arrivals of
English steamers in the same time
increased from 72 to only "a. Touching
the transit across the isthmus the con-
sui general says the trade would be
much larger if the railroad rates were
lowered, and at present a great quan.
tity of coffee is taken from Central
America by German steamers around
the Horn to Hamburg and Havre,
while timber goes to Italy and England
and wheat from California to all Eu.

Has Seen Its Best Days.

The consul general says it is generally
conceded that the Panama railroad has
seen its best days in the transit busi-
ness, although the traffic has increased
annually for the past five years. The
fight between the Panama railroad and
the Pacific Mail Steamship company
has caused much loss to the cash value
of the transit business, but the increase
of acreage in coffee lands has been SO
great that, Notwithstanding the fight,
the transit bus ness could not be held
down, although the cash receipts have
suffered. Mr.. Vifquain says:
Under foreign ownership and a
foreign management. the American
corporation known as+ the Panama
railroad company, will continue to
thrive whether there be canal or not,
| greatly to the detriment of the Amer
ican interests, commercial and inter
national, inasmuch as European ten
dencies seem bent, either for self.
preservation or international jealousy.
to undermine and destroy the United
States prestige in this part of the
world. My firm belief is that there
will be a canal built within the next
| decade"

rant and Furnishes him as felon,
is inhuman and destructive of the
liberties of the human race.

Plumbers and GaSfitterS' Con-
VentiOn.

The Minnesota convention of
journeymen plumbers and gasfit-
tiers was held in Duluth, Sunday,
April 5. The three principal cities
were represented. There we're five
delegates each from Minneapolis,
St. Paul and Duluth. The visiting
delegates were E. J. Harrington, J.
Rogers, John Watson and w. D.
Shay of Minneapolis, and w. J.
O'Brien, A. H. Gerber, P. A. McQuil-
Ian. I. H: Doherty, w. J, Feehan, of
St. Paul.
The day was taken up in the trans
action of the business of the con-
vention and in the evening ban
quet was given by the local jour-
neymen Plumbers and Gasfitters
union in honor of the visiting dele
gates.
The election of officers resulted
as follows: President, E. J. Har-
rington, of Minneapolis; vice-presi-
dent, Morris Cornell, of Duluth
second vice-president, A. H. Gerber,
of St. Paul; secretary, w. N. Oakley,
of Minneapolis.
The most important subject dis
cussed was the helper question
which has agitated the craft for
several years. TWAS the sentiment
of the convention that the helper
should be dispensed with.
Under any circumstances the
helper plan was not approved. In
the future, when the time shall
arrive that new men will be requir-
ed it was agreed that an apprentice
plan should be adopted.
The delegates will report back to
respective unions to the above
effect.

b1eness of heart.
The wageworker sees that unless
he takes some steps towards
the protection of the increasing
number of workers against the
ever increasing power OF mOnOp-
DIV. combined with the influence of
labor saving devices, the cold
blooded law Of supply and demand
will! swallow him up completely.
Each day adds largely to our num-
bers and each day adds largely t"
the production of labor saving
machinery. Each day, therefore,
increases the number seeking en-
ployment and decreases the de-
~mand for their services. This state
of industrial anarchy has COM
pel]ed the individual laborer, who
would save himself from industrial
slavery, to Join hands with his tel
low craft emen to control the cOndl-
tons under which he labors. 1t is
peaceful and lawful attempt to
emancipate the wage slave from
the calling chains forged by Shy
lock. We organize to give the
worker the same opportunity of
selling his labor dearly that the
employer has of buying it cheaply.
This is not all, however. We aim to
raise the individual in physical and
mental we'll being and self estima-:
ton by shortening the hours OF
labor 80 that he may have opPor-.
tunity for education and develop
ment.
The greatest opposition to trades
unions comes from the ranks OF
business and professional men,
who little think that they are mem
bers of trades unions. they are
banded together with men OF their
own calling to control the cond1:
tons under which they labor. II

labor and to control the market
price of what you produce. Now,
if you are a member Of a union and
enjoy the privileges and benfits of
such membership, is it fair to deny
the same privilege to those who
grow grain, yet go hungry; who

unions.
No one can deplore strike more
than I do. That there has been and
will be unnecessary strikes no one
will deny, but no step that has been
taken for the emancipation of the
human race but has been brought
about by a strike-1 mention Valley
Forge, the strike of the Wilderness,
and the many battles fought dur
ing the revolution. The strike and
the boycott are the only weapons
in the hands of the unions.
This is an age of progress. Com
pare the first locomotive in this
country with the last one turned
out from the shops, No. 1919. What
wonders have been wrought by the
hand of man.. Would you deprive
the many of the right to enjoy the
fruits of their own energy and in
dustrY?
If this is an age of progress,
should not labor enjoy a few of it's
blessings?
Such modern captains of industry
as Carnegie, Pullman and Rookie
Teller, who pose as philanthropists,
and donate toward the building of
colleges, libraries and churches,
and then follow with cut in the
salaries of their employees more than
sufficient to make up for their lib
crafty, put me in mind of doctor
who would make a lot of people
sick, and then cure few.
What the American wage Garner
wants is not only a public library,
but a private one also.
There are about ninety thousand
members of my craft-cigarmaker
in this country, about twenty
thousand of whom are organized.
The condition of the organized
cigar-maker has improved wonder
fully since 1879, when the present
organization was perfected. His
wages have increased from forty to
100 per cent. and the hours of labor
have been reduced from Is, II and
10 to a universal eight hour day.
The system of piece work prevails.
Compare this with the deplorable
condition of the unorganized cigar
maker. In the filthy tenement house
districts of our great cities, he finds
an abiding place with want, misery
and disease for boon companions.
In one small room he and his family
work from early morn until late at
night for pittance barely enough
to keep body and soul together:
Grim want stands at his elbow and
urges him on to increase his efforts
so he may lay aside something for
sickness. Death, which comes to
him early in life, is welcomed as
glad release. The pottertie1d en-
braces another victim of our glor-
ious social system.

here. While the liberals were sanguine
of electing sufficient members of the
Dominion parliament to block the gov
ernment school measure, they never
dared to hope to completely GUST the
Tupper government as they have done.
The liberals, for the first time in nearly
twenty years, have won and are over
joyed at Laurier's success, while con-
servaiives, to whom the disaster was al
together unexpected, are in dazed
condition.
The liberal organ now emphatically
declares that Manitoba's national school
system is absolutely safe from interfer-
ence. However, conservatives are quite
as positive that now that Laurier, who
is Frenchman and a Roman Catholic,
has come into power. he will demand
that Catholic schools be restored.
There will be great deal of anxiety un-
til it is discovered what Laurier's policy
in this respect will be. All are agreed,
however, that one of his first moves will
be to treat with Washington for recip-
rocity of trade between Canada and the
states, and the result of the liberal vic
tory in Canada will be fraught with the
most important results to the business
interests of Uncle Sam.

hope that the Chicago convention would
nominate man whose position on sil-

Teller as an ideal candidate. Mention
of Teller set the convention wild and the
enthusiasm continued over the names oi
