for many years put ban upon unlaw-
full practices. oppression of non-union
men. unjustifiable demands and other
grievances that We have been suffering
under since 19OO when the union first
took possession of our property. If, OF
the other hand, this settlement be made
now, when not a single witness has
been called on our part or on our behalf,
it will be an absolute and distinct sur
render to the miners union and the
trouble above referred will not only be
continued, but so magnified as to be
absolutely unbearable.
The hearings before the anthracite
coal strike commission present the first
opportunity that the coal operators
have ever had of presenting their case
before the general public who are really
an important third party, since alb
stracts at least of these proceedings
are published all over the United
States and it is a duty that we owe %
ourselves as we'll as to them to prove
that the continued and repeated charg-
es of injustice, barbarity and eXtortion
are absolutely unfounded all of which
the Individual operators at least, pro-
pose to do.
The case as presented already shows
such weakness that we believe they
We're almost disheartned when these
suggestions for a compromise was
made. We believe that any surrender
on our part which would be practical
ly what this compromise would amount
to would be by far the most serious
mistake ever made in the anthracite
coal business.

ANOTHER ATTACK OF yORWAERTs
Socialistic Organ Denies krupps'
Scheme Was Work OF n Philan-
thropist.

Berlin, November 25.-The socialist
organ Vorwaerts, in a page and halt
today, deals with what it calls the
hypocrisy of idealizing Herr Krupp as
a benevolent genius
The paper does not touch on the i'm
mediate charges which it brought
against the deceased, but analyzes the
pension system of the Krupp firm,
which it says is a species Of refined
swindling" ada ding:
The enormous So-CaIled benevolent
funds have been built up by compulsory
contributions from the employees, who
could be arbitrarily deprived of partici-
patton in the advantages. They are re-
quired To contribute 2h per cent. of
their wages for 20 years before they are
eligible to a pension upon disability.
In the meantime, if an employee Is dis
contributed, often exceeding $3.50. The
employees ate morally and econo-
mically terrorized and must in humility
accept every petty regulation of the
firms officials or lose 2K rer cent. of
what they have earned in the firm ser
vice. This terrorism Is applied to politi-
ical opinions where they become
known"
The paper also quotes the German
budget committee proceedings as show
ing that the Krupp works have been
charging the navy 500 per ton above
what the United States pays for nickel
steel plates, amounting nearly TO $3.50. 600
for Herr Krupp and the StuInm works.

Washington, November 25.-The cab
met meeting today was devoted eXclu-
sively to the consideration of the status
of reciprocity with Cuba and the canal
treaty with Colombia. The bitches that
have occurred in the negotiations were
discussed as also were the prospects of
settlement. Secretary Hay, while pre-
senting the subject Of the canal nego-
tiations to the cabinet, was not able
to report that 3ny progress had been
made during tt past week. In fact
it appears that The negotiations have
come to a dead ceop and while no such
thing as an ulti!. atum, has PASSED, the
precise situation may be described in
the statement that the Colombian min
formed the state department that he
cannot, in behalf of his government,
accept the last proposition of the Unit
ed States as the basis of n canal treaty.
The state department has already let
it be known that it has come 10 the end
of it's concessions SO the chances of a
renewal of the negotiations in the near
future are not very bright.
This state of affairs will stimulate the
negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica for the alternate route, hut 1t now
appears that the acknowledgement
atives of these countries are not dis
posed to allow themselves to be used to
coerce Colombia and they are therefore
desirous of remaining in the back
ground until it shall be clearly eStab-
lished that no treaty can be made be-
tween Colombia and the United States.
One Of the statements of fact in con-
nection with the Panama route, which
has been brought to the attention of the
state department. is that the original
canal concessions will expire in 1904
and it has been suggested that the Co
lombian government has that fact in
mind and is disposed to refrain from
making a treaty now III the expectation
that the franchise will lapse and 1t may
thus be in position TO build the canal
itself or sell a new concession.
Such a course would raise a very Sc
rious question between the Colombian
government, the Panama canal COM
pany, the French government and the
government of the United States as to
whether or not a supplementary decree
extending the concession ten years from
1904 was valid.
President Roosevelt laid before the
cabinet his annual message to congress
in complete form. 1t was sent 10 the
