AT YACHT CLUB DINNER.
EHegident Attends Function Which
 Has Caused Much Comment.

E&egfdent Attends FunctiOn Which
 Has Caused Much Comment.
 OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Sept 19.-- Among the callers on the president yes terday afternoon were J. o. Thompson, internal revenue collector for Alabama, and Captain Charles Scott, two of the three Alabama advisers of the adminis- tration. They had a long conference with the president.
 Eight or ten important federal ap- pointments are to be made in Alabama within a few months These were dis cussed at the conference. Some of the nominations will be sent to the senate soon after congress convenes in extra ordinary session.
 President Roosevelt was the guest or honor at night at the annual dinner of the Seawanhaka- -Corinth thian Yacht club at it's handsome and spacious home on Center island, in Oyster bay. While many men prominently identified with yachting in the east were present and the dinner was a handsome and de- hghtful affair, as function, it was not so elaborate as the dinner committee originally had planned.
 The president gave the club to under stand that he could not attend the din- ner if it was to be made great ban quet, with many invited guests outside of the club membership. 1t was intend ed to have among those in attendance Sir Thomas Lipton and members of his party now sojourning in this country and a large number of distinguished oil <.A xrf, were to be invited to meet the presi- dent This plan did not meet the pres ident's approval, and the list of guests was curtailed. An invitation was sent to Sir Thomas Lipton, but he was un- able to accept on account of illness and because of his engagements in the west.
 The president about o'clock last evening, escorted by Lieutenant Charles E. Preston, commander of the naval yacht Sylph, and Midshipman Hammer, entered a launch at the J West Roosevelt pier and proceeded te the yacht club house across the bay He was met at the club landing by Chairman Colgate Hoyt of the board of trustees and other officials of the club and escorted to the clubhouse His entrance elicited applause and l cheers.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the president was among friends and fel low club members precautions were taken to insure his personal safety Two secret service officers remained near him, and additional precautions were taken by the club itself.

The international Cigarmaker says: There is great difference of opinion among trade unionists generally as to the advisabflity of a high initiation fee. Well-thinking unionists are un- animous as to the imperative neces- sity for high dues. Very frequently unions charge an excessive imitation fee, and unwittingly place a barrier between union men and those on the outside who should be union men. Some unions charge an entrance fee so large as to practically prevent men from securing membership there in, and making often a close corpor- alton of the union. There may be good reasons why union frequently should charge considerable sum of money from applicants to membership, when. for instance. an organization has been on long an tedious strike secured victory after the expenditure of thousands of dollars: those who worked when others were fighting their battles should not complain when called upon to pay for some of the many benefits that the battle has brought to them. As a general rule, however, high initiation fees are an- tagonistic to the progress of the gen. eral movement We believe that the fees should he such that all who de- sire to become. union men would not find it an obstacle in their way. One of the best organized unions in the United States is that of the cigarmak- CTS. It charges exceedingly high dues and only "a s initiation fee. It has found after years of experience that 1t is an equitable arrangement and un- ions should not make any mistake in following the example set by the knights of the tobacco leaf.

The Unions Chance.


 There are thousands of good union men who think that when they pay their dues and observe the working rules of their organization, they have performed their full duty. Tn this they err. for unionism is as much of a brotherhood as any of the we'll known secret societies. and the bond of mutual sympathy and help should extend beyond the narrow lines of each individual union. The member of one union should bear in mind that his is not the only union in existence, and that reciprocity is demanded as result of their mutual interest in each others welfare
 This interest and good will can best he shown when a union man desires to make purchase of any commod- ity. says H. B. Romans, in Boyce's Weekly.
 No matter what the article is. he should inform himself if the union en- gagged in the manufacture of this arti- cle has label if it has he should ask the dealer for the labeled ware and if the dealer hasn't it in stock, he should go elsewhere and continue the search until it is found.
 | Of course one man cannot make much of an impression in any commu nifty, but if every union was to enact a law requiring it's members to pur chase only union label goods,r the ef- ! feet would be instantaneous i'll any community, and it is. safe to say that no dealer could long ignore the clamor- 1 ing of a large percentage of his GUS i toners for the label The result would naturally follow that he would dis card unlaheled goods for the reason that the portion of his customers who l had no preference would be satisfied with the label goods. From small f acorns great oaks grow. and by fol- l lowing the lead of thought here out 1 lined one can easily see how great manufactories. transportation routes
 and, in fact, all modes of production would be peaceably and thoroughly unionized
 It has been said that asking for
 union label goods and refusing to take i articles that do not bear the label is I a species of boycott. and that boycott I ing is punishable under the laws of our land. If it is really boycott. it T is one that does not come within the I pale of the law. If go into store \ and ask for imported cheviot. may !; be technically boycotting American made goods. but there is no law that 4 will punish me if. when the dealer ' says he has not the imported article refuse to take the American substi- I tute: but there is law that will pun ish the dealer if he forces an undesired } article upon me by sI1hterfuge. - The wisdom in pushing the demand
 for label goods is apparent from tho
 attitude of the employers associations }, that are springing up in every city li The opponents of organized labor } among the employers recognize that } unity of action is necessary to stem the tide of unionism. and whenever q : strike occurs the workers have not ? one firm to fight. but dozens. eact } with large capital to draw upon tc make winning fight The employers $ associations have set up the standard l of 'open shops" and they will win il 2 union men do not abandon the strike idea and use gentler. but more effect n i've method of enforcing their de i mands. That method is the building
 I'D of the union label.

1REATY'S DOOM NEAR
Only Four Days Remain For
 Colombia to Ratify.
TIE STATE DEPARTMENT WAITING
There Seems to Be Little Likelihood For Favorable Action Regard ing Panama Canal Within
 the Tinae Limit.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Only four days remain within which the ratifica- tions of the Panama canal treaty must be exchanged. Dr. Herran, the Colon bian charge, transmits promptly to the state department such details of pro- ceedings in the Colombian congress as come to him, but what their nature is he declines to disclose. He realizes the gravity of the situation, but says he has not had any instructions to request an extension of the time for ratifica- ton, nor has the American government intimated, so far as known, that it is anxious to grant it. The state depart ment is simply waiting.
 It is stated that official advices re- ceived here contain certain facts which, it is said, put an entirely new light on the obstructions which have been placed in the way of ratification by the Colombian congress. It was also said that these advices are to the effect that the object in introducing the radical amendments to the treaty was not with the hope of their being adopt ed, but in order to force the conces- sion of certain minor amendments. It cannot be learned whether there is any foundation for these conclusions.
 In some quarters the suggestion is made that real stumbling block tc the ratification of the treaty might be removed if the new Panama Canal company would consent to the pay ment to Colombia of a stipulated DOT ton of the $40, ,o0o, GOO which it is to re- ceive from the American government for its rights. franchises and property along the route of the proposed canal.
 According to the bill reported to the Colombian senate, that government wants SIG, GOO, eco of this money, but it is believed by some persons, familiar with South American affairs that a compromise might be reached whereby half that amount would be accepted by Colombia. The latter government thinks she is entitled to some portion of the money. It is also suggested that Colombia might be willing to forego in sistence on some of the other impor- | tant amendments which have been proposed if she were compensated by the Panama Canal company.
