Porte respecting the payment of the

TROOPS FOR CHINA.
War Department Making Arrangements TO
Transport Soldiers from Philippines.

Washington June 24--At the war de-
partment. Saturday, Adjt. Gen Corbin is
authority for the statement that nothing
has been heard from Gen. Macarthur on
the subject of sending additional rein
forCements to China. 1t Is proposed TO
send the 9th Infantry and its transporta-
ton equipment. including mules and
wagons. to Taku on the transports I.o-
gan and Port Albert. lnasmuch as the
voyage will take at least six days, II VIII
be impossible to land the troops on Chi
nese soil before July at the earliest
Although the officials will not admit 1t,
II is known that the department Is max
ing every arrangement for the prompt
transportation to China of as many
troops as can be spared from immediate
service in the Philippines.
Acting Sec. Meiklejhon was in close
consultation during Saturday with Gen.
Miles. Adjt. Gen. Corbn. ON. Gen. Lud-
ington and Col. Bird, the quartermas ter
in charge of transportation. 1t Is no Sc
cret that the deliberations related To the
execution of plans for affording subStan-
tial relief to the small naval force which
has so far borne the brunt of the battle
at Taku, Tien Tsin and on the road to
Pekin. in conjunction with the larger
forces of the allied powers.
So far as the transportation service Is
concerned, there Will be no difficulty in
the way of forwarding additional troops
from Manila to the Chinese coast. The
big transport Warren, which has been
cruising in southern Luzon, is due at Ma
Mia. July l, and will be available on that
troops. Another large transport, the
Sherman. is also due at Manila from san
Francisco about the same time. There
are also several smaller transports used
in the inter-island service. which would
be utilized in the movement of troops to
China in case of necessity.
The war department officials are Scri-
ously considering the advisability of
changing the destination of the transport
Grant from Manila to Taku forts. with a
view to utilizing the troops and marines
she carries in the execution of the Amer
lean policy in China The Grant will
carry two squadrons of the 9Th Cavalry
numbering bout 500 men, and battalion
of marines numbering 230 men. These
troops are now being assembled at San
Francisco and are scheduled to start for
the East July |.
In order to shorten her time across the
Pacific II Is possible that the Grant will
be ordered to proceed direct TO Nagasaki
without making the usual stop at Homo
lulu. The japanese port is not far from
the scene of conflict in China, and it
would he an easy matter to divert the
ships course from Manila to Taku in
case II Is found cXpedicnt to do 50. The
Grant is a fast ship and can make the
trip to China in about Is or 30 days. The
horses Of the cavalry troops are to be
taken over on transports from Port
land, Or.

FORMS OF TRUSTS
TRUSTS AND NfONOPOLIEs ARE THE
SAME IN, ESSENCE.
The Proposed Current Remedies Are
Worse Than Useless, az They Can
Only Plaster the Cancer Rooted i'm
Privileges, the Only Sure Remedy
Left is Equal Rights and Not
Regulation. '.s

Most people would suppose, from the
way the trusts are talked about and
written about from one end of the
country to the other, that everything
movable about them Is generally
known, and that, in particular, the best
method of dealing with them is equal
ly obvious. #
On the contrary, not one person in a
thousand has any idea of the nature
and origin of trusts, although there is
not one In a. thousand who is not pain
fully conscious Of their workings.
Trusts and monopolies are the same
in essence, varying only in form to Sc
cure the desired end of getting some
thing for nothing. Whether the price
to be paid for an article is to be con-
! trolled by one individual, as in it's earl
ier forms (such as that of sweet wines
by the Earl of Essex, or of playing
cards by Sir Walter Raleigh), or by q
corporation, such as the Southern Paci-
fic or Santa Fe, or by a conglomeration
of corporations, such as the trusts In
paper, lumber, coal, sugar, barbed, wire,
etc., makes no difference whatever to
the customer or to the workmen en-
gagged in producing those articles whose
sale is limited by an agreement to cur
tail production in order to keep up
prices. r.
A railroad is a natural monopoly and
may or may not combine with other
railroads in order to shut off competi-
tion. Nearly all the great railroads
have so combined. To the producer or
grower, or to the consumer, the results
were much the same before the South
ern Pacific combined with the Santa
Fe as afterwards; that is as long as the
Southern Pacific had the exclusive field
over two-thirds Of the area of the state
Of California. Soon after the San Joa-
puin Valley road began to work as a
real competitor it was captured by the
Santa Fe, which now forms a. trust in
combination with the Southern Pacific.
Whenever any repressive legislation
is enacted against the trusts it is easily
evaded by simply changing their form.

PARADISE FOR WORKINGMEN

City of Glasgow.
Glasgow, Scotland, is now regarded

ingman's, paradise. The engineering
works: and ship-building yards right
down the Clyde are straining every
nerve to keep pace with the business
that is forced on them. The naval ac-
tivity of the government, the demand
for cruisers and transport ships, the
steady growth Of the sea transit trade
have set the dockyards .hungering for
more men, extending their accommo-
dation, bringing in new machinery,

we. come to the intelligent and trained
mechanics a. different state Of affairs
is found. The bricklayers are getting
their % cents an hour and are working
f1ftyasix hours a. week. The stonemas-
ons get only half a penny an hour less.
The quarrymen have forced their wages
so high and have so increased the cost
of stone that men are muttering that
they will kill the goose which lays the
golden egg if they do not stop.
In the printing trade, he is a poor
linotypist who, in: union house, is
not earning his $25 a week. The mas
ters wisely encourage this. They may
think the rate rather high, but while
the rate of piecework remains what it
is they would rather have expert OPP

Never before in the history. bf:organ-

the building industry had more vital
cause for unity and concentration than

duty to take part in the deliberations
Of this convention for the enactment of

petition OF lockout such as exists in
Chicago since February, 1900. Not only
Chicago, but Kansas City, Memphis,
Savannah, and other cities became the
victims of conditions in the building
industry which, If not remedied, will
become more grave with every building
season. -
1t behooves, therefore, every building
trades council, national and local union
directly affiliated, to send it's most
faithful and competent members to re-
present them at this convention.
