DUTY AND GAIN HAND IN HAND
Conscience and Commerce Joined in
the Plea of John Barrett to
Retain Philippines.

BOSTON, June 20.-John Barrett, minister
to Siam during the Cleveland administra-
tion, spoke before the Boston Chamber of
Commerce this afternoon regarding the
Philippines and the extension OF the United
States trade in the far east. He said in
part:
"If we fail to hold the Philippines and to
protect our rights of trade throughout the
far east, the United States will not only
become secondary power in the great Pa
cihc, where by natural position and hand
of God we are intended to be forever first
but the Pacific coast states will experience
the most demoralizing and destructive blow
to their progress and prosperity that could
possibly be given them.
Il appeal to you as representative cti-
zens of Boston and Massachusetts and
through you TO the people of all New Eng
land to unite with and support the Pacific
coast states in a policy which will not only
insist upon our meeting and mastering
courageously and successfully our unavoid-
able moral responsibility in the Philippines,
but upon our taking legitimate advantage of
the immeasuable material and commercial
opportunities that result from the occupa-
tion OF the Islands both in their own splen-
did field and in the larger and wider one
which reaches all the way from Java on the
south and Japan and Siberia on the north
Value of Eastern Market.
1.-The full exploitation of these far east
ern markets and opportunities applies al
most in the same measure to New England,
to the middle states, to the south and to the
great central west. In other words the
whole country east and west, north and
south is yitally concerned in the expansion
of American commerce and influence
throughout the Pacific seas. II the far east
wants the -four, the timber and other food
and manufactured products OF the Pacific
coast 1t wants also the cotton goods OF New
England. the cotton goods and the raw cot
ton OF the south. the manufactured iron.
steel and miscellaneous products as we'll as
the petroleum OF the middle states and it
wants the similar products. together pos
slbly with the maize or Indian meal and
1our OF the great central west"

tion of the International Printing Press
mems union today decided that Job press
men could not organize branch unions, but
should continue either as pressmen or as
sistants, The job men urged that the CON

them, while they are capable Of looking
after their own particular interests. They
say that they VIII bring the question up at
every convention until they get the dlsired
change in the union laws. The union de-
clined to give it's consent. claiming that the
tendency Is too much toward dividing the
