CHAMBERLAIN
WILL RETIRE.
Colonial Secretary Decides to
Leave the Cabinet.
Can't Sacrifice His Own Views
to Those of BalfOur.
APPEAL TO COUNTRY.
Is Almost Certain to Follow His
Resignation.
Premier Is Left Without Sup
port in Either Faction.

London. Sept. 1.-THE Associated
Press learns that Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain has decided to resign from
ne cabinet on the ground that Premier
Balfour's attitude on the fiscal question
is not sufficiently advanced to enable
Mr. Chamberlain to remain a member
of the government without the sacrifice
of his own views
The resignation is quite likely to be
announced within day or two, but may
be postponed until Mr. Balfour has an
opportunity TO make his promised pub
lie announcement on October l. There
is Just "a last chance that the king, in
his private capacity, may avert what is
now declared to be inevitable. Mr..
Chamberlain's resignation is almost GER
tain to cause an appeal to the country,
MIR Balfour being thus left without the
support of either the protectionists or
the free traders. Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer Ritchey and his followers are
also openly opposed to any measure of
retaliatory tariffs as Mr.. Chamberlain
Is convinced that the unity of the en-
pire depends upon preferential duties in
favor of the colonies.
With the exception of a few Liberal
organs. which viewed Mr. BaIfour's
pamphlet as a reputation of MI
Chamberlain policy there has scarcely
been a seriously considered suggestion
that Mr.. Chamberlain would retire from
office. But the generally accepted Opin-
ion that he would retain his portfolio
IS shattered, and the news when it be-
comes generally known, will come like
Il thunderclap, not only to the support
ers of the government but to all other
political sections. BY Mr.. Chamber
l,-in's detection practically all the ex-
listing party lines will be swept away.
and their reconstruction must largely
depend on Mr.. Chamberlain's future
attitude.
That he viii be content to retire from
hBublic life can scarcely be considered
20 is believed he VIII not ally himself
with either side. but will rally to the
banner of his preferential programme
all the support he can gather from
every quarter. Mr.. Chamberlain can
rely on the almost solid Irish vote,
when he confines himself to fiscal ideas.
The Associated Press learns definitely
that Mr. Chamberlain urged his coll

preferential trade issue. He admitted
that they would be defeated. but main

WAGES QUESTION
Discussed by Hon Carroll D.
Wright at Boston.
One Of Most Important and Certainly
the. Most Difficult
Branch of Political Economy Now Be.
fore Our People.

Boston, Feb. 4.-"The wages ques-
ton" was discussed by the Hon. Carroll
d. Wright, tonight. before the
Twentieth Century Club. Mr.. Wright
in HIS address said:
1.-The wages question in all its
breadth is perhaps the most important
branch of political economy, certain
ly it is the most difficult. 1t is the
most important because labor is at the
basis of all values and the workers
for wages constitute the great mass
of every community. 1t is the most diff
ficult because of the varied and SOM
plicated conditions surrounding labor.
I'VE see in every progressive COM
munity that the demand of the working
man is no longer for a wage suf-
ficient to enable him to keep body and
soul together. 1t is no longer the iron
law of wages; it is no longer the de-
sire of labor to secure a wage under
that law.
Labor has been taught to feel that
it is a social as we'll as an economic
power in the community and this edu-
eating process has bone on until the
demand of labor is for reasonable
margin beyond that fixed by the iron
law of wages.
How far this demand shall be
granted; how far the working man
shall be enabled to benefit by the re-
suits of his education are the great
questions"

A MERRY SQUABBLE
May Be Expected Over Brunswick
Water District Schemes.


Bath, Me-, Feb. 4.-Since it has been
learned that citizens of Brunswick de-
sire to secure control of the Thompson 9
brook plant from the Maine Water Co.
for municipal ownership, Bath people
have planned an attempt to defeat
Brunswick's desire. AS a committee
of Brunswick citizens will go before
the committee of the Legislature at
Augusta, tomorrow, in behalf of the
bill providing for municipal ownership
of it's water plant, the city council of
Bath will also send a committee to the
hearing to oppose the measure so far
as Thompson's brook is concerned.
Bath and Brunswick receive then
water supply from Lake Nequasset. In
order to reach this city, pipes have to
cross the bed of the Kennebec river,
where they are exposed to accident
For this reason, the contract requires
the Maine Water Co. to hold the
Thompson's brook plant in reserve for
this city in case of accident to the 9TH
er supply.
The city council feels that seizure OF
the Thompson's brook plant will be
contrary to rights and best interests
Tonight, Mayor Hyde, President Tuck
er of the common council, and repre-
sentative citizens were designated as q
committee to go to Augusta and OPP
pose Brunswick's measure on this one
