SHIPBUILDERS READY TO

aoincidcnt with the general distress

IS quietly preparing for test Of strength
with the labor unions that may precipi.
late general strike equal 10 the great
engineers strike Of few years ago. Tho
sliipbuildcrs, who have suffered for wears
from the restriction OF the output. com.
tehhnced by the Unions have decided that
1t Is necessary 10 introduce radical re.
iorms IN the way Of labor-s saving machin.
cry.
This means reduction in the price of
pleccwork, on which almost all the Yards
are running The builders say that If tho
men accept the introduction Of machine
tools most Of which are Of American or,
igin, and agree TO run the yards at full
capacity, it will enable them not only to
make more wages, but will largely in
crease the output Of the yards.
Even the most optimistic builders have
small hope that the reform will be ac,
complished without stiff fight. They
believe, however, that the time is ripe
for the experiment, since the new ma.

CUBAN TREATY IS
WELL ON THE WAY

Havana, Dec. 6.--Aftcr conference
with Secretaries Ialdo and Montez, Presi-
dent Palma today said; my commits
sioners, Scnors Zaldo and Montez, will
sign the reciprocity agreement with Cen
eral Bliss, probably on Monday or Tues
day next. 1t will then be sent to Wash
ington, where the treaty will be signed
by Secretary Hay and the Cuban minis
ter, Quesada After the confirmation by
the United States senate | will send the
treaty to the Cuban senate for approval.
l shall not send IT to the house of repre-
sentatives because the executive has, with
the approval of the senate the right, ac-
cording to the constitution, to make a
treaty which does not affect the tariff.
This agreement provides for certain
reductions in the duties on imports from
the United States, but the tariff on those
articles is not changed. After the ap-
proval of the treaty | intend to send
message to the house and senate, asking
for a revision of the tariff, in order to
keep up the revenues, which will neces-
sarily be lessened by the treaty"
The senator who supports the admins-
tration gives his opinion that the reci-
procity agreement must be approved by
the house of representatives. he mat,
ter of issuing a loan of $3s,ooo,ooo is
again being taken up in the senate.

ELEMENT OF ELASTICITY
SHOULD BE PROVIDED

Second, an element of elasticity in Our
national bank currency should be provided.
A small step, equal in amount to say 10 per
cent of the capital of the bank, is sufficient
for demonstration of efficiency and safety.
If its desirability is proved, gradual in
crease within term Of years, to say, so
per cent of the amount of the capital, with
full and unquestioned provision for the re-
demption of notes of insolvent banks, as
afforded in the Lowering and other bills,
is the other step Immediately necessary
The general subject appears complex and
Our people are, therefore, disinclined to
study it.
THE principles are simple. The humblejt
citizen is perfection of money laws.
Only absolute assurance of parity will
make New York bill of exchange as ac-
ceptable in the commerce of the world,
as bill Of exchange on London.

Indianapolis, Dec. 6.-"What further
steps should be taken at this time for the
betterment Of our monetary SYSTEM Mr.
Hugh n. Hanna was asked today.
Mr.. Hanna was chairman of the execu-
tive committee Of IS created by the ma
tional monetary conference held at Indian
apolis in 1907; ever since he has been ac-
tive pressing the demands of financial re-
formers.
First" he replied, "our gold standard
law of 1900 should be strengthened by ma
chinery for maintaining parity between
gold and silver. The public mind is pre-
pared for as perfect gold standard as can
be established. A law providing for the
payment of gold for silver at the treasury
on demand is the one remaining step neces-
sary to secure absolute parity of all our
moneys. Both the Overstreet bill and the
Hill bill, introduced in the last session
make full and wise provision.

and for a much longer time the
greatest milling centre. Many per

see the great mills there, and OBJ
serve the process by which several
train loads of wheat are turned into
flour in one day. But the methods
of -four making have undergone so
MANY radical changes within few
years that men who were once ex-
perts in the business would now be
novices.
The number of flour mills in Min
neapolis to-day is no greater than it
was twenty years ago, but the pres
ent annual output (tifteen million
barrels) exceeds that of fifty years
ago by more than six hundred and
fifty per cent; and this in the face Of
the fact that some of the larger
plants manufacture, in addition to
their flour product, immense guam
titles of the different kinds of break
fast cereals now SO commonly used.
The gain in capacity is due to the
fact that most of the mills have been
enlarged from time to time and
equipped with the very best mod
ern machinery AS an illustration.
"Pillsbury A mill was constructed
in 1880 with a daily capacity Of five
thousand barrels, but it has been
improved until it's capacity is now
fourteen thousand barrels. This is
the largest -four mill in the world.
