Disputes Between Capital
and Labor Will Be
Adjusted.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Han
ma, chairman OF the committee of thirty
six appointed at the capital-labor confer
ence IN New York, was at the White
House to-day and talked most earnestly
81 the results Of the conference.
= consider the conference" said he,
1.-The greatest step ever taken for the
speedy settlement Of disputes arising be-
tween labor and capital. This organiza-
ton, which has come to stay, was an
evolution which was naturally preceded
by the organization Of labor, which also
has come to stay, and the concentration
OF the interests Of the two sides into the
hands Of comparatively few individuals
will make for the best interests of both.
The public must not get the idea. that
we are TO recognize everything relating
70 the condition of labor and capital, or
rhat the joint committee is TO undertake
arbitration by compulsion. In fact, we are
opposed TO compulsory arbitration. We
believe We can accomplish more by get
ting into closer touch and contact with
labor
The first step will be to establish a re-
lauonship between the two interests, and
this viii serve as a foundation to work
on. While we do not expect that there
viii be no strikes, they VIII be minimized
as result Of the cOnciliation and arbi
tration policy"
Hanna said he expected the committee
70 meet during the winter to adopt by
laws and elaborate still further the
scheme OF arbitrS ton.

With equal heartiness we commend the fol-
lowing quotations from the message, showing
the Presdents familiarity with conditions in
the West and his conclusions based thereon:
1.-The distribution of the water the division
left to the settlers themselves, in conformity
with the State laws and without interference
with those laws or with vested rights. The
policy of the National Government should be
to aid irrigation in the several States and
Territories in such manner will enable the
selves, and Will stimulate needed reforms
in the State laws and regulations governing
irrigation.
whoever controls stream practically con-
trolls the land 1t renders productive, and the
doctrine of private ownership of water apart
from land cannot prevail without causing
during wrong. The recognition of such owner
ship which has been permitted to grow up in
the arid regions should give way to a more
enlightened and larger recognition Of the rights
of the public in the control and disposal Of
the public water supplies.

Federal Official at New
York Is Removed by
Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-It was an
nounced at the White House this after
noon that the President had removed Ap-
praiser Wakeman of New York on the
recomm endation of Secretary Gage.
Wakeman, it is said, wrote to the Presi-
dent attacking Secretary Gage. The Pres
ident refused to entertain the charges or
overlook the offensive character of the
letter.
Later the official announcement was
made at the White House that George w.
Whitehead, late Collector Of Customs at
Porto Rico, had been appointed to sue
ceed Wakeman. No further announcement
was made Secretary Gage declined to
make public Wakeman's letter.
Alfred W. Brown, the appraiser of mer-

praiser's Office pending the nomination of
Whitehead to succeed Wakeman, which

Civil Governor Talks to
Filipinos Before His
Departure.
Members of the Federal
Party Gather to Say
Farewell.

MANILA, Dec 20.-Over 1000 members
of the Federal partv called on Governor
Taft to-day to bid him farewell and to
wish him safe return. The Governor,
reclining on a lounge, addressed 150 of the
most prominent of his visitors. saying
that he was honored by their presence.
The organization, he added, had done so
much toward bringing about peace and
giving the country a stable party that II
augured more for the success OF Aner1-
can labors than anything else during the
recent critical times.
The reports circulated in the United
States, founded on incidents connected
with the war in Batangas Province and
the island Of Samar, the Governor said,
tend to convey a wrong impression of the
situation, which is really hopeful
Through it's officers, the cOnstabulary and
the provincial governments, besides $50
teachers, the commission had excellent
means or acquiring Information IN tne
organized provinces, and 1T considers that
there never was a time when there has
been so much real ground for hopeful
attitude of the Filipino people toward the
civil Government.
The military disaster in Samar had
created an unfounded feeling of uneasi-
ness concerning the condition Of the peo-
pie Of the rest Of the archipelago. The
war in BatdngaS and Samar, stirred up
by misguided men, furnished the only
obstacle to obtaining liberal legislation
on the part Of Congress.
Continuing, the Governor said that he
would return here. He liked the Filipinos
and regretted leaving at this particular
time But 1t was a comfort to know that
the duties Of the office were in the hands
of Vice Governor Wright, an able lawyer.

hopes of the people. In conclusion the

agree with him when he says:
Great storage works are necessary to equal

Slvely SHOWN to be an undertaking too vast
for private effort.
And we further agree with the statement
