there in no subject
- that has been so much discussed

HERHAPS there in no subject
- that has been so much discussed
as the labor problem. Lengthy
magazine articles have been
written upon this question:, numerous
theories have been advanced, but as
yet no practical solution of the problem
has been offered. Working men have
endeavored to better their condition in
life 5y organization, and within the
past few years trade unions have
greatly increased their membership.
But while individual trades have
been benefited by organization and
much good has been derived from this
source, more thorough organization is
necessary before any lasting good can
be accomplished. By this mean that
all classes of working men should unite
under one head, each individual trade
union and labor organization working
for the welfare of the whole body of
toilers. The power of such an aggre-
cation would be unlimited, for both
the leading political parties would be
subservient TO its will. So complete an
| organization could dominate politics,
elect majority in both houses of
congress and be represented in the
White House by president of its own
! selection.
You may doubt this assertion, but
the result of the recent municipal
election in San Francisco proves my
statement. During the past year there
were several strikes in that city, and
the part the city officials took during
the trouble was particularly obnoxious
to the trades unions When the time
came for the fall municipal election,
the working men placed candidate of
their own in the field. They nominated
for mayor Eugene E. Schmitz, man
who had clean record and who was
not affiliated with either of the two
leading political parties. The unions
made an energetic campaign. over
threw both of the parties and elected
Mr.. Schmitz to the mayOrality.
The victory OF the labor organizations
i'm this election is matter of great
Importance to working men. 1t will
give them more prestige in political
affairs than they have enjoyed hereto
fore, and is bound to make labor organ
izations a factor to be more carefully
considered by politicians in planning
future campaigns.
The victory of labor at San Francisco
does not stand alone. Labor scored
another victory in Bridgeport, Conn.
Dennis Mulvahill was elected mayor
by the labor vote at the recent muni-
cipal election neid in that city. Mr..
Mulvahill is working man, having
been employed for the past twenty
years as fireman in the boiler room of
one of the large manufacturing plants
of Bridgeport. His integrity and
worth made him conspicuous in politics,
and when the labor organizations
nominated him he secured the support
! of the better element of the town, which

New Invasion of Goajira BY ReVou-

New York, Jan. 22.-Despite the
French government demand, the au-
thorities have refused to allow the
Frenchman, M. Secrestat, to land at
LaGuayra, Venezuela, says the Will
lemstadt, Curacao, correspondent of
The Herald. This denial of his right
to go to Curacao to protest properly
has caused much indignation, as it
is regarded as a new proof of Castro's
hostility to foreign capital. French
men at Wlllemstadt have complained
of the latest movement in the Secre-
stat difficulty to the Paris government.
Castro's government now fears
new invasion of Goajira by the revolu-
tionists. Castro has been unable to
learn the whereabouts of the expedi-
tion commanded by Generals Mendo-
"a and Hernandez, and has had much
trouble in the Barquinsimite district.
The Mochists are active. Castro is
still seeking to have the British seize

defeated by government troops, but it
is now confirmed that government
troops have been defeated in the neigh.

GERS thoroughly versed in the situation
gave me the figures.
Il viii explain to you how peace
can be maintained in the islands. We
have organized a native constabulary
which is working efficiently. Con
gress allows US to maintain a constab-
ulary OF 5000 men. They are under
the command of Major Allen. who has
already enlisted $500 men in this
branch Of the service. When the
force is fully organized the men will
be distributed in the province, $50 men
to each province. The detachments
OF conat1ole3 are commanded by four
officers, three of whom are retired vol
unteer officers and the other a native
Filipino. When the constabulary is
fully equipped it will be detailed in
who are intimidating the natives.
These Filipino cOnstables can be main
tanned by the government at a cost of
$3.50 each a year, while the soldiers
in the islands cost Uncle Sam about
$4,000 a head.
Il know mat the Pacific coast people
would like to see free trade instituted
between this country and the islands, -
said the governor, but l am sorry to
say that l cannot see how it would
work
The ciyil government adopted a
tariff schedule which is working we'll,

the islands at least so per cent We
hope that congress will be as generous
to the Philippines as it is to Porto
Rico. The reduction of the Dingley
tariff will mean the opening up of a
large market for the tobacco and sugar
OF the islands. as we'll as for other
products there. BY so reducing the
DingIey tariff a good market for the
Pacific coast will be opened up.
Governor Taft said that there had
been no serious clash between civil
and military authorities, and declared
that the best of good feeling existed
between himself and General Chaffee.
