With its stock being hammered con
stantly by spectators and the pub
lie extremely shy Of investing in it,
the United States Steel corporation
is having another source of trouble
on hand. The railroads are in rebel
lion against the extortions of the
steel rail pool and refuse to place or
ders for next years delivery. They
have grown tired of paying $28 a ton
for rails that are sold to foreign buy
ers for 500 and want a reduction,
something they believe themselves
entitled to in view Of the decline in
price of Bessemer pig at Pittsburg.
But what particularly rasps them is
the nerve the steel trust displayed
when it asked them for a large reduc-
ton in their freight rates on it's ship
ments. It was this nervy request that
finally caused the railroad worm to
turn. Ten dollars is all the profit the
trust makes from rs rails at the pres
ent cost Of production.

Colombia Sends a Peace commls-
sioner to Panama.

Panama, Nov. "a cablegram has
been received here from General
Reyes containing the information that
he has been appointed by the govern
ment of Colombia as peace commits
sioner with the duty of making ar
rangements with the government Of
the republic of Panama to the end
that the national honor may be saved.
Everything in Panama is quiet, but
che circulation of the news OF the
appointment of General Reyes resulted
in enthusiastic celebrations, not only
because the general has many
friends here, but for the reason that
his mission is looked upon as assur-
ing the independence of the isthmian
territory.

II H SIDE.

Minneapolis Journal: Every time
a strike stops industry there is a
loud roar about the blind destructive
mes Of organized labor. Men with
pencils sit down and figure out that
so many thousand workmen have lost
SO many millions in wages and that
capital has lost so many millions
in dividends. Then the public is ex-
pected to say, 20, thou foolish work
man." And it may be so. Doubtless,
there are many occasions when the
public is fully justified in becoming
indignant over a strike that disastrous.
ly affects a whole community.
But let us not reserve all our in
dignation for the laborers who cause
suspension of industry; let us save
some for the capitalists who tie
up great industries in their selfish
quarrels. 1t is the business of the
public to sit in judgment on both
sides and condemn them when they
err.
Consider the trouble in Montana.
Fifteen thousand men are out of
work, and the business of the state is
paralyzed. The railroads are suffer
ing and all business interests outside
the state that have Montana relations
| are injured. People are leaving the
state on every train, and the worlds
busiest mining camp has become the
haunt of idle men.
Did a strike cause all this disaster?
! Not at all. The men were working
steadily and happily and were desir-
Gus OF continuing, when, all at once,
the mines of the Amalgamated Cop.
per company were ordered closed.
Who closed them?
The capitalists who are in posses.
sion, because they did not like an in.
junction issued by the courts. II
makes no difference whether Heinze
or the Amalgamated Copper company
has the right of this legal battle owe
the mines. The fact remains that
deadlock in a quarrel between selfish
capitalists has thrown $4,000 men out
OF work, imposed hardship and suffer
ing upon thousands of men, womeI
and children and wrecked the pros
perity of a city and state.
II two rival labor unions had quar-
relied and closed the mines anathema.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
Panama Provisional Government
Ready to Call One.


Washington, Nov. 9.-The provi-
sional government in Panama is ready
to call a constitutional convention as
a means of adopting a permanent
form Of government at the earliest
possible date.
A treaty will have to be made with
the new republic to secure the con-
cession for the canal and the state
department expects more important
concessions than was possible In
dealings either with Colombia or
Nicaragua. There will not be a clause
in the Panama constitution prohibit
ing the alienation of territory and the
administration expects to secure an
absolute title to the territory neces-
sary to the canal. This was one OF
the embarrassing points in negotia-
tions with both Colombia and Nicar-
aqua.
Colombia was willing to lease the
| territory for the Panama canal and
| Nicaragua and Costa Rica were will
ing to lease the territory for the Mic
araguan canal. They claimed that
their constitutions prohibited the
| alienation of territory.
