LABOR AND CAPITAL UNION.
Plans Conceived Before The Strike
Was thought of.
A PROFIT SHARING SCHEME.

New York, Aug. 19.-J. Pierpont
Morgan has planned the greatest labor
union of the age. union of labor and
capital. According to his plans, stock
of the United States Steel corporation
valued at several millions of dollars at
par has been set aside for the purchase
at inside figures by the los, 900 men
employed by the companies that make
up the great steel trust. 1t is contem-
plated to form this co-partnership be-
tween the shareholders and the en-
ployes of the United Steel corporation
The plan was conceived before the
strike was thought of and then it was
expected that it might be put in opera
ton in two years. 1t requires time to
formulate the details of such trem-
endous undertaking. For this reason
announcement was withheld.
At recent conference, however, be-
tween the executive board of the Anal
gamated Association and Chas. Schwab,
the president of the United States Steel
corporation, it came out that Schwab
under the direction of Morgan, has
formulated a profit sharing scheme
whereby it was proposed to make every
empioye of the Steel corporation co
operator in the business.
The plan contemplated by the United
States Steel corporation is nothing
more than the high development of the
scheme that has existed in the Carnegie
plants since 1892. After studying the
state attained by Carnegie, it is said
that Morgan and his associates in the
management of the United States Steel
! corporation determined that 1T would
| be wise to extend the scheme.

Cau.e of the Isthmian Trouble.

Washington, Aug. 2o.-President
Castro OF Venezuela has been convinced
that the United States is leaning to-
ward the Panama route for an isthmian
canal. and he desires to secure control
of the isthmus, that he may hold up
this government and compel it to pay
an exorbitant sum for the concession.
He has heard of the hberality of the
United States in regard to such con-
cess;ons, and the temptation of $780,
0OO, 600 or more for canal concession
has spurred him and General Tribe to
the movement to secure control and be
in position to get their hand in the
United States treasury.
Under such circumstances this gov
erpment is forced to protect its present
and prospective interests in the isthmus
of Panama. By the treaty of 1916 the
United States is guaranteed the right
of transit across the isthlnus, and in
consequence the United States gudran-
teed the rights of sovereignty and
property which New Granada has and
possesses over said territory"

PREPARING FOR TROUBLE.
Uncle Sam Will Enforce its Treaty
Guarantees.
THREE SHIPS ARE UNDER WAY.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-The United
States navy department which is direct
ing all of its energies in hurrying ships
to the scene of the disturbance on the
isthmus in order to enforce our treaty
guarantees, has three ships on the way.
The Machias, which has been detained
at Hampton Roads by the threatening
weather south of Cape Hatteras has
been able to start on her journey, as
surances having been given by the
weather bureau that all dangers from
the gulf storm along the Southern At
lantic has now passed. This informa
ton was telegraphed to the comman-
dant of the Norfolk navy yard. Word
was received at the navy department
that the battleship Iowa had arrived at
by telegraph to proceed as soon as pos
sible to Panama on the west coast. 1t
is probable she will have to take some
coal aboard but the department be-
lieved that she would be able to sail on
her 3 1000 miles journey at once. No
word has come from the Ranger at San
Diego and the officials at the depart
ment are somewhat puzzled at her de-
lay in starting. It was supposed that
she would be able to sail at short no
tice, as her commander had warning to
prepare her for sea but nothing has
been heard from him since the orders
were sent him

ADMIRE QUOTES LAW
And sides with Those Who Believe That
Woods Entry Violates 1t.


Lawton, Aug. 2O-Jacob Admire, for
years an officer in United States land
Office attacks Woods entry as being
Illegal.
''An persons who shall settle on land
in said territory under the provision of
the homestead laws of the United
States, and of this act, shall be required
to select the same in square form as
nearly as may be- In the circular of
the general land Office issued July IL,
1899, the department holds that the
provision of section 20 of the act of May
2, 1890, that all homestead entries for
lands within said territory shall be in
square form as nearly as may be, has
reference to the purpose and intent of
the homestead laws generally, contem-
plating entries by quarter sections.
which are in square form, when this is
practicable etc.
Now, there was no other reason than
hoggish one, why Mr.. Woods should
not have selected his land in square
form, and just why the local officers
permitted him to violate this plain pro-
vision of the law is not apparent.
From the conclusion that Mr.. Woods
entry is in violation of both the letter
and spirit of the law, seems to be en-
tirely reasonable.

ADDITIONAL RULES.
Reference is Made 60 Contests Against
Wood.

Wood.
Washington, Aug 16.-Acting Secre
tary of the Interior department Ryan
has prescribed an additional rule to the
telegraphic regulations issued pro-
viding for a speedy disposition of
appeals from rejection of homestead
applications for the new Oklahoma
lands. The new rule follows:
applications to contest entries al
lowed for these lands filed during the
sixty days from date of opening will
also be Immediately forwarded to the
general land office, where they will be
at once carefully examined and for
warded to the secretary of the interior
with proper recommendation when the
matter will be promptly decided"
In the opinion of officials there is but
one ground of contest thus far assigned
that is liable to cause Wood any annoy
ance. That is the claim that he took
his selection for speculative purposes
and not as homestead. If this charge
should be sustained his entry would be
Cancelled. As to the other contests they
are looked upon as frivilous.
