PALMA WOULD HAVE
 OPEN CUBAN PORTS
Wants No Reciprocity That Will Af-
 feet the Open Door

Havana, September zS. - President Palma takes a hopeful view of Cuba as an independent republic. The fourth month of Cuba fibre" ended yesterday, and in discussing what has been ac- Con,plished MT. Palma said:
 Our first four months of self govern mcnt have been as successful as any one could expect. We have paid all ex- penses Of government and have a sur plus. Everything is running smoothly and to my entire satisfaction"
 Tn regard to the retention of the United States artiilerymen in Cuba, President Palma said:
 Tt will be a source Of gratitude and rejoicing for the Cuban people when the American troops are ell with drawn, and I hope it will be soon. They are not needed. Their presence has a bad moral effect. IL seems to some as if the United States government has nc confidence in the ability O. the Gu bans to maintain peace and govern themselves.
 ''I don't want to be misunderstood. We are grateful to the Americans, but the people cannot feel free with Ameri- can soldiers all around them. They are not needed to protect us from cut siders, and if they ever are they could be quickly dispatched here. Our artil- lery force, when increased to 1000 men. will be sufficient for the country"
 President Palma said he hoped for favorable action on the reciprocity question by the United States senate at the coming session. The insertion of a Cuban plank in the republican platform in several states he considers an augury for the success of reciprocal measures. But" he said, i've want TO reciprocity that will affect our com merce with other countries. Our ports must be open to the world. and we must foster commercial rela tiCns with every country. The reciprocity meas ure must be O. equal benefit to both countries"

 The temperature conditions are gen orally favorable in all districts east of the Rocky Mountains, although the week was decidedly cOol in the South Atlantic states and Missouri valley.

 The middle and southern Rocky Mountain districts have received album dant and much needed rains.

WIFE AIDS HUSBAND
 IN CONGRESS RAGE
Mrs. B. S. Mcclure Dominates Cam
 paign in Oklahoma.

Guthrie. Ok, September 2S.-Mrs. B. g. Mcclure, the young and handsome wife of the republican nominee for del cgate to congress from this territory. is rendering her husband valuable aid by the active part she is taking in his campaign.
 Mrs. McGuire has been credited by many politicians with all the honor c; procuring for her husband the nCmira- tion fer this office in the first place. His victory over men much stronger than himself politically has been matter of wonder since the men of the party have had time to consider it, and they have about decided that it was the hypnotic influence of fair wom- ans smile that made Mcclure the re- publican nominee for congress in Okla nCma this year.
 The interest of Mrs. Mcclure did net flag when the convention was over Already she has made several hard trips with her husband in the cam paign, and has actively dominated the republican headquarters ia this city It iG in this feature of the campaign that q stir has been created by the charge made by Mrs. Mcclure that the campaign Con,mittee is lax in it's work, and that the campaign is dragging in a manner that threatens her husbands chances of election.
 Mrs. Mcclure passes severe. censure on Secretary of State William NJ. Grimes and James R. Cottingham, resi- dent officials of the campaign commit tee, and deHounces them for not hay iCg greater number Ci sneakers in the field, and for not conducting heavier correspondence with the voters

Washington, September 2S.-Labor conditions in the United States is the subject Of a chapter in the recently published report of the commission from the British Iron Trade AssOCia- ton which visited the United States d few months since and reported upon industrial conditions, and especially those relating to iron and steel. Dis cussing this important question of the condition of labor in the United States viewed from the standpoint Of the En- glish citizen and manufacturer. the re port says:
 '-The conditions oi labor in the United States is another matter that has re- ccived a good deal of attention, as be- ing fundamental in the progress of American industries. if not also in the relative pfogress Cf same of our own. The influence of trade uniOnism is not nearly sc strong in the United States as in Great Britain. The reason is largely CaTable Of mathematical dem Onstration. A recent report by the New York department of labor shows that while in Great Britain at a recent date there were 1905, GOO trade union ists, there were only 1.6CO000 in the United States and Canada fer about twice the population, while Germany is credited with 995.G0O or about enc half the British figure. The trade union is not generally recognized as a mili- tant force in the United States, except now and again. Few employers are ready to acknowledge that it has any influence worth naming.
 ''The almost absolute freedom Cf la Dor has been the chief instrument whereby it has won such cCnquests in the field of industrial economy during the last quarter of century. Tn all countries industrial processes have been greatly cheapened during that period, but in America the cheapening appears to have been carried farther than anywhere else. According to fig ures recently made public by MT. Will liam Garrett, a rail roller in an up to- date mill is paid less than one cent per ten for rolling, against 15 cents at a not very remote date. Within that time, again, a wire rod roller has seen his earnings per ton reduced from $2, r to F cents per ton, and yet he earns larger wages at the lower figure, while

Should the demand for steel fall off imports Of steel would end. and we could invade every market in the world -
