WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Ofiicials
of the Colombian legation here predict
that a storm of disapproval will arise
in Colombia as a result of Commander
McLean's action in disarming the Co.
-lombian troops before their passage
across the isthmus 1t Is stated here
that ColOmba's agreement with the
Panama Railroad company specifically
provides for the transportation Of Co
lombia soldiers by the railroad when
occasion arises, and the commanders
action is regarded at the legation here
as direct infringement Of Colombia'5
sovereignty over the isthmus.
Commander Mclean in having the
troops transported in a separate train
from their arms is acting apparently in
accordance with his construction Of
that part of Secretary Moody's instruc'
tions cabled on Saturday.

ferred to above:

The abandonment of the Chorrera

an interruption of traffic on the rail

THE LABOR PROBLEM.
Rlsn. Carroll ID. Wright snys Deca-
logue Is a Good Labor Platform.


logue In a Good Labor Platform.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. go
Hon. Carroll d. Wright, commissioner
of labor statistics, delivered an address
before the national convention of en-
ployers and employees here last even
ing. Mr. Wright took as his subject
the question, SIS there any solution Of
the labor problem" He said in part:
1.-THE question is not how to kill or
to remove the cause, but to soften the
struggle. If any effort has proved
fallible, it is the attempt to secure
good, pure. individual character of stat
utory enactment. Laws for the better
ment Of sanitary conditions have
wrought many reforms, but they have
not touched the heart of the problem.
Lessening the hours of labor has proved
beneficial, but to a very limited extent.
"As for arbitration, while am favor
able to the system in adjusting differ
ences between nations or between en-
ployers and employees, yet cannot
see in it solution. Arbitration simply
means the interference of the public in
the relations of the employer and en-
ployce. But law has always failed to
adjust wages, and its efforts in that di-
rection have done more harm than
good.
"rhe Dccalogue is as good labor
platform as any. In religion we find
the highest form of solution yet offered.
Next to religion comes constructive ev-
olution-that evolution which believes
in the potency of effort. The economic
man is growing into the co-ordinative
nan. We are to have new law of
wages grown out of religious thought.
The old struggle was for existence;
the new struggle is for wider spirit
ual margin. The application Of this
religious idea is the true solution of
the labor problem. The whole ques-
ton must be placed Oh an altruistic
basis. Mans average conduct is not
better than his character His treat
ment of his fellows is consistent with
his sense of justice.
"Out of this new struggle Is growing
a new political economy which looks
largely to the care and comfort of the
men. Religion forecasts the social des-
tiny of man. The remedy may effect a
relief, but not cure. This position
reaches into the coming revival of reli-
gion which shall hold in its power the
church. industry, commerce and the
whole social fabric
