TOO MANY SMALL STRIKES.
Organizer James Scores Miners of

Organizer James Scores Miners Of
the wilkcsbarre District.
wILKESBARRE. Nov. 22.-Benjar,in
James. the district organizer Of the United
Mine Workers. returned today from long
stay at indianapolis and berated the
miners of the district severely for the
number of small strikes that have taken
place here during his absence. He said:
This striking is all wrong. for no strike
can be ordered except by either the dis
trict or national officers. When the MEM
bers of any local order strike without
first submitting their grievances to either
the district or national boards they vio-
late one of the most important sections
of their constitution and bylaws and in
doing so run the risk of having their
charters promptly revoked
Il am afraid some of these men will
some day strike once too often. want
you to say, with all the emphasisyo can
place on it, that the national and district
boards regret that these small strikes are
constantly occurring, regretting also that
there is occasion for them. But there is
a right way and a wrong way to have
trouble adjusted and that way is clearly
set forth in the constitution and bylaws
of the United Mine Workers Of America
These remarks were very timely. be-
cause there are six strikes at present in
this district. AT Duryea the breaker boys
at the three collieries of the Barnum Coal
Company are making demands and the
mines are idle. The grievance is a small
one. At the No. colliery of the L. A. G
". B. Company here the men have struck
owing to the topping question. and at the
Trescow and the Tyler & McTurk col
lieries. near Hazleton. the men are out.
All the grievances are slight and could
probably be quickly settled by a commit
tee waiting on the managers

AN INSURGENT PROTEST.
Railroad Company Warned Against
Paying Money to Colombia.

NEW YORK. Nov. 22.-An open letter
was sent today to the President OF the
Panama Railroad Company OF this city by
DR.. A. J. Restrepo. diplomatic agent here
of the Colombian revolutionists. in which
he makes a vigorous protest on behalf of
the latter against contract between the
Government of Colombia and the COM
pany. This contract grants to the Pan
anna Railroad Company the practical free
navigation Of the canal OF Rio Grande
for a term Of fifty years and releases the
company from the payment Of $4,000
monthly. stipulated by another contract
1t provides. however, for the cash pay
ment Immediately of 100000 to Governor
Carlos Alban, of Panama who makes the
grant.
DR.. Restrepo declares that the liberal
Government which will soon be estab-
lished at Bogota upon the success Of the
revolution will not ratify such a contract
and warns the Panama Railroad Company
against paying the 100000 He says it Is
Illegal and violation of the constitution
Of Colombia, which does not give to the
President or his agents the authority to
make contracts of this character without
the consent of Congress.
A copy was sent to the State Depart
ment at Washington for future reference.
1t is the opinion here that the 500. 900 Is
urgently needed by the Colombian Govern
ment to continue its defence against the
revolution.
DR.. Restrepo sent similar protest some
time ago to the French Panama Canal
Company. which resulted in the abandon
ment of the negotiations for the payment
Of 81. 900 coo to the Government of Colom-
bia for an extension of time to begin work

trality guaranteed in the Treaty would
permit them to close the canal to

oceanic canal controlled by the terms Of
the Mckinley Salisbury agreement would
be American in name only, and very
doubtful advantage to this country. The
