Washington, May IA. The sub-com
mittee OF the isthmian canal commits
sion, which visited isthmus of Panama
to inspect the work and property oil
the new Panama Canal Company, has
returned to Washington.
The mission of the committee was
accomplished quicker than was antici-
pated. The commission found that
while the canal company has employed
ON the work about 200 men, little, in
a definite or effective way, is being ac-
complished. Just enough work is be-
ing done to keep the project alive.
Members of the commission say the
ratification of the canal treaty by the
United States senate was received en-
Enthusiastically by the people on the
isthmus. Property values increased
rapidly and real estate along the route
of the canal continues to rise.
Members of the commission are of
the opinion that the treaty will eventu-
ally be ratified by the Colombian con-
gress. Admiral Walker had a long
talk with Secretary Hay upon condi-
tons on the isthmus in their special
relation to the canal project.

BUILDING TRADES EMPLOYERS.
Score Unions and Walking Delegates and
Resist Their Demands

New York, May 1s.-The first steps
towards effecting general organiza'
ton of employers in the building trades
for the purpose of offering united
resistance to the demand of the labor
unions were taken at private meetings,
in which sentiments of the speakers, as
given out, are here partially quoted.
''The complete paralysis of the build
ing industry has been brought about
by irresponsible combinations, acting
through tyrannical board of walking
delegates, or business agents, which
demand prompt and energetic action
by all good citizens who have the well
fare of our great city at heart.
"The delegate is a parasite on the
body public to be exterminated.
ut is pointed out that this is not a
question of wages or hours, but ques-
ton of whether the irresponsible bodies
of men are to be permitted to conduct
the business of the employer and in so
doing make it impossible for him to ex-
ecute his contracts and to discharge
obligations and responsibilities which
he assumes and to which the courts
and laws of the land bind him.
"The extremes to which the unions
have Escorted and the manner in which
they have repeatedly broken contracts
with their employers have alienated
from them the sympathy of the public.
The system calls for repressive meas
ures. The public now looks to the en-
ployers to take the initiative and to use
every lawful method to destroy the Go
Hath, whom lack of opposition has so
EN- boldened that it throttles this great
