as they lasted.
Others who hold-as nearly all the
employers do-that the teamsters have
deliberately violated the contracts with
the employers, and this in the face of
the opposition of their national presi-
dent. are in favor of fighting it out
now, believing that there is worse
times ahead if the fight is not made
and made successfully. At this writ
ing no action has been reported.

DELCASSE TALKS.
Explains Attitude France Has
Taken Toward Republic
of Panama.
FRENCH INTERESTS ARE SAFE
He Says, So France Has Recognized
the de Facto Government
European Situation.

Paris. Nov. n. - Foreign Minister
Delcasse addressed the chamber Of
deputies in reply TO questions regarding
foreign affairs. He opened with a
statement with reference to Panama
question, and said: Il am asked for
information concerning the action OF
France. Here is what has been done:
Having received notification that Pan
anna had constituted herself an indie
pendent republic we had only TO con-
slider, once she had fulfilled the neces-
sary conditions for the maintenance of
ore II, what guarantees she offered.
From the French point of view we
have not been without apprehension
for some time. 1t has been said at
BOgota for several months that the de-
cision was open to dispute, and that
in 1904 the concession might be de-
ciared to haze lapsed.
Premise Made by Panama
eff this theory had ever been put
forward officially we would not have
accepted it. 1t was our strict duty to
demand from the republic of Panama
assurances that all French interests,
including the canal concession, be re-
spected. This assurance has been given
us i'll decisive form, the following be-
ing the teXtual form of the promise:
The republic of Panama Solemnly, eX-
preSSly and definitely pledges itself to
vigilantly protect French interests and
to maintain and interpret in their wild
est sense the contracts made before
Nov. ,, which. referring to the 18TH
mus, follow the transmission of SOW
ereignty and bind the republic of Pana-
ma. All these contracts are main
tained, notably the contract prolonging
the concession until 1910'''
Deputies Cheer the Statement.
NJ. Delcasse continued: Under
these conditions we had only to follow
the example set by the United States
and permit our agents to enter into
relations with all the agents of the
new republic" The declaration of the
foreign minister was received with
applause.

France Is Setting AN Example, Says Del

AT the close of he general debate
on the foreign policy of the govern
ment Deputy Hubbard brought in a
motion requesting the government to
join with foreign p +wers for the pur-
pose of limiting the military burdens
of Europe Premier Delcasse replied
that it was not the business of France
to make proposals. The French gov
ernment, NJ. DelcasSe said, had already
set the example, as It's naval and mill
tary budgets had been decreased year
by year while the budgets of ether
powers had been Increased. If, said
NJ. Delcasse, the example set by France
were fruitless, mere words would be
unheeded, and they would only COM
promise the dignity of the nation. 1t
was not for France TO take the initia-
tive.
Delcasse then described the condi-
tons in Macedonia. He said the rem

ANOTHER ASPECT
Brought Out in Connection With
Hearing in Shipbuilding
Case.
PREFERRED STOCK FOR NIXON
Issued as Bribe to Secure Support
for Reorganization
Scheme.

New York, Nov. 24.-At the United
States Shipbuilding hearing, which
was resumed today, counsel for the
complainants brought out on exam
ination that it was for Nixon that. at
the time the Sheldon reorganization
plan was under consideration. Schwab b
offered to purchase 100000 worth of
bonds with an accompanying bonus
of $4,000 shares of common. Twenty
five thousand shares of preferred
stock was issued to Nixon for $50, 900,
while the market value was far more
than this.
Held 1t Was a ISrIbe.
Counsel made the direct charge
that this was in the nature of bribe
to induce Nixon to agree to Sheldon's
reorganization instead of the plan
for the assessment of stock, which
he had previously advocated.
