STATEHOOD SCHEME.
Democratic Senators Submit Propo-
sition to the Republicans.
OPPONENTS OF STATEHOOD DECLINE.
Montesuma to he Divided and Two States
made when Arizona shall Have 100000
Inhabitants Oklahoma and Indian
Territory 70 BE ~ Submitted.

Washington, Feb. 27.--The senator's
who, as committee of the demo-
cratic senatorial caucus Wednesday
tentatively submitted counter state
hood proposition to the republicans,
yesterday presented their PROPOSE
ton in formal shape to their demo-
cratic colleagues and it was generally
Endorsed. They then submitted it to
the republican senators. Republic
ans favoring statehood indicated q
willingness to accept, but the oppo-
nents of statehood declined, saying
they could go no further than they
had gone in their original PROPOSE
ton. Following is the text of the
democratic proposition:
"The state of Montezuma shall be
divided and the two states of Monte
yuma and Arizona shall be created
therefrom, the state Of Montezuma
to be composed of the territory with
in the present boundaries of the ter
ritory of New Mexico and the state
of Arizona being composed of the
territory within the present boun-
daries Of Arizona territory: Provid-
ed, that the creation of the two
states Of Montezuma and Arizona
shall be made by proclamation of the
president whenever Arizona, as now
bounded, shall have 100000 inhabitA
ants, and,
provided, that a census shall be
taken each year by the national CEN
sus bureau, commencing on May l,
1904, and each May l thereafter, and
that not more than three months
shall be consumed in taking each
census"
The intent was to leave the pro-
visions regarding Oklahoma and In
dian territory as submitted, but to
substitute tie proposed change for
all propositions relating to the ter
ritories Of New Mexico and Arizona.

THE BIG RAILROAD DEAL.
No OmcIaI Statement Yet Respecting th'
Status Of the st. Louis . Sen

New York, Feb. 27.-Contrary te
expectation, no official statement re
specting the status Of the st. Louis
& San Francisco railroad deal was
issued yesterday. 1t is generally be
lieved that matters have reached the
stage where only few unimportant
details remain to be settled. Presi'
dent Yoakum. of the Frisco road.
had another conference with repre-
sentatives of j. P. Morgan & Co. yes
terday, but declined to discuss the
reported deal in any way.
Latest reports indicate that the
outcome Of the present negotiations
will disclose scheme OF far-reaching
Importance. 1t is the general belief
that merger or consolidation of the
interests in the Frisco, Rock Island
Atchison and Southern roads is con
templated. The Rock Island, accord
ing to current gossip, will be the cen
trail figure in the deal. Mr.. Yoakum
Is reported to be slated for the presi'
dency of the Rock Island, which, II
is predicted, will dominate the situa
ton. All reports of terms and similar
details are, as yet, matters of CON
lecture. A rumor that the Rock Is
land would take over the Morgan
in the Georgia Central as
part payment to Morgan & Co. for
their management of the financial de-
tails could mot be confirmed.

A "LivinE WAGE"

Arthur Chamberlain, a brother of Jo-
seph Chamberlain. as chairman of
Messrs. Kynochs. limited, Birming-
ham, England. has introduced at the
company's works and at four other
places with which he is connected the
system of the living wage" Under
this no workman unless in exceptional
circumstances will receive less than @
shillings a week. The number of men
affected so far is between 200 and 300.
Mr.. Chamberlain explains that he has
been led to fix on % shillings week as
the minimum by the figures given by
Mr.. s. Seebohm Rowntree in recent
lecture in Birmingham. Mr.. Rowntree
arrived at the conclusion that it was
Impossible for a workingman to main
tain himself, wife and three children
In state Of bare physical efficiency Oh
a wage Of less than 21s. Sd. per week.
Mr.. Chamberlain confines the operation
Of the scheme to workmen of all class
es between the ages of twenty-five and
f1fty-four. Bachelorhood has not been
penalized by making increases apply
only to family men. -.

Australia's Interesting Strike.

The strike which tied up the rail-
ways Of Victoria, throwing out of work
10000 employees. was proba bly, unique
In its character. 1t was strike
against the government, the railways
being state institutions, and neither
hours of work nor rates of wages had
anything to do with It, The trouble
arose from the afiliation Of the Rail-.
way Employees union with the Trades
hail. The Melbourne Trades hall is
the headquarters Of the labor party
and as such is center Of political &C.
tivity, representing also the forces of
militant trade unionism. The affilia-
ton Of the employees union with it
meant that the state railways might
be stopped in sympathy with any petty
strike in which the Trades hall was
interested. For this reason the gov
eminent ordered its employees to have
no connection with the Trades hall
on the ground that, being government
employees, they had always the right
of direct appeal to the government,
then to parliament and finally to the
people. Over $500 miles of road were
affected by the strike.

trades unionlsm and the narrow efforts
Of separate bodies to increase wages
must be diverted and directed toward
the laws and industrial institutions Of
the country so that production will be
more bountiful and distribution more
equitable.
For. after all, natural laws must pre-
vail, and neither the monopoly Of cap
ital nor the monopoly of labor can for
a long period Of time keep the price Of
commodities or the price Of labor far
above the level which conditions i'm
pose, and the permanent improvement
Of the great mass of men can only come
by creating such natural and perma-
nent conditions as will call for full
employment Of labor and an honest and
equita BILE division of the products Of
labor.
Trades unionism has grown and
fourished in the past. it has made it's
way against powerful odds and almost
impossible barriers because it has stood
for improving the condition of the COM
mon man and for the welfare Of the
human race, and if trades unionism
shall succeed in the future it must
work and live along the lines Of eth

and its energies not to purely selfish
ends, but to making better and fairer
