At meeting of the Labor Council last
night at 1859 Mission street number of
important communications were read and
some interesting facts came to light.
A letter from Congressman Jesse Over
street, Washington, d. c., stated that he
had filed with President Mckinley the
protest of the Typographical Union
against the appointment of Colonel ID. 6.
Otis of Los Angeles TO any office, and that
the President had stated that no appoint
ments of the character at Issue would be
made until the most thorough examlna-
ton possible.
delegate for the bookbinders, were ~
sented. "
A letter from Worden's attorneys
showed 1904 signatures to the petition for
pardon, besides 1882 previously reported.
A report from the Typographical Union
showed great encouragement because of
the new ordinance requiring all City
printing to be done bv unlon printers.
Tne Musicians Union reported that the
following places will be fought vgor-
ously because they hire noi.-union mu-
sicians: Spreckels Market, the California
Market, the Creamerie, 725 Market street,
and the Royal Butter Com pany, 753 Mar
ket street.
James Wood of New York made vigor-
Gus speech In behalf of the international
Cigar-makers' Union and their attempt
to educate the pubic to the point OF re-
pudiating tenement-made goods
1t was reported that both the Columbia
and the North Star breweries have decided
to use union labels, for which reason the
brewers are feeling greatly encouraged.

SOUTHERN PRoTHoTIoNIsTs.

a conspicuous feature of the tariff de-
bate In Congress has been the course
taken by many Southern Democrats in
criticizing the bill, not because it is a
protective measure, but because it does
not give as much protection as they de-
sire. Some OF the most i'm portant speeches
in the debate thus far have been of this
character, and they are sufficiently numer-
Gus to merit more than ordinary atten-
tion.
In the debate on Tuesday McLaurin OF
South Carolina, Democratic member OF
the Ways and Means Com mittee, devoted
his speech on the bill almost exclusively
to plea for protection for cotton planters.
In the debate on Wednesday, Maddox OF
Georgia asked for protection for alumi-
mum clay, which has been found In large
quantities in Georgia and Alabama. In
reply to question as to whether he was
protectionist, Maddox replied that he
Was opposed TO free raw material.
1t is known that several of the ablest
Democrats from the South are strongly in
favor of protective duties not only upon
the articles stated by McLaurin and Mad
dox, but also upon iron, sugar, rice and
all other products OF the Southern States.
The intelligence of the South has at last
discerned the advantage CT protection to
industry, and while her leaders continue
to act with the Democratic party, they do
not permit their party discipline to 60 so
far as to compel them to support free
trade policy which has proven as d1sas-
trous to the South as it has 10 the rest OF
the country.
So long as no cotton was imported into
this country the cotton-planters were free
traders. AT the present time, however,
the importations of Egyptian cotton are
rapidly increasing and constitute serious
menace to the product of the Southern
States in the American market. This
fact has taught the lesson of protection
against all the arguments of the free
traders, and the Southern cotton-planter
as well as the Southern manufacturer has
now joined the army of protection and
will assist in maintaining the protective
system as a permanent part OF our indus
trial and commercial policy.
1t is gratifying to note that the requests
of these Southern Democrats for protec-
tion to Southern industries were well re.
ceived by the Republicans of the House.
When Maddox objected to the Dingley
bill because the production of aluminium
clay was not protected Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania said: 1.-The gentleman from Georgia
should not be so certain there Will not be
Il duty on that product. favor it, and
we may yet place a duty on it." This
statement was greeted with applause from
the Republican side of the House. The
incident clearly showed the intent Of the
Republican party to provide protection
for all American industries, without re-
gard to section or to party. Southern
Democrats will find as cordial welcome
IN the temple OF protection as will men oi
any other party or of any other section.

In considering the military situation of
Greece, her varied topography must be
taken into full account The country is
much broken and divided by mountains
into a mum Der of independent posts. Such
country is, like Switzerland. best adapted
for a defensive warfare. History teens
with successful defenses of states so situ-
ated. To become master of such coun-
try each separate post must be conquered
Independently. SO that prolonged de-
tense is easily made.
Though the country is fairly provided
with highways, the absence of any but
short local lines of railway will make the
problem of invasion difficult one. Ade-
quate railway facilities are absolutely
essential to the supply and moving of
large modern armies. This alone must
limit the forces which can be brought
against her. If Greece is forced to defend
herself we may confidently anticipate
that she will make brave fight, with the
chances in her favor. The strong local
patriotism and love OF country, SO marked
a characteristic of ancient Greece, she
still possesses. She is to-day the most
democratic country in Europe.
Great battles require an adequate thea
ter of operations, for the battle itself IS
but the eliminating point of q long
series of operations. Such a theater
is lacking in Greece. If war comes
we may look there for partisan and
localized series of conflicts rather. than
those grand operations which are possible
only in a comparatively open country
having ample communications.

WAR IN GREECE.

After the Seryian war the Greek army
was increased and now is about the size OF
our own. Universal liability to service
exists, though the regular army is re.
cruited by lot.
By the law of 1887 the regular army OF
Greece has q total of 24,076 officers and
men, comprising 1916 infantry, 4S77
cavalry and 3063 artillery and engineers.
The total length OF service is twelve years,
of which three are passed in the line,
three in the first reserve and six in the
second. On war footing the regular
army could be raised to 100. 900 men. The
first reserve would give 104 500 men and
the second reserve, or territorial army.
