GOVERNMENT is UP
AGAINST STRIKE
ON |STHMUS
All Railway Traffic is
Stopped.
MAY AFFECT POLITICS

Washington, ID. c., April 1.-THE
fact that traffic has been stopped
across the isthmus Of Panama by a
labor strike is regarded by the admin
istration as unfortunate at this time
owing to the fact that the canal COM
missioners are due to arrive at Colon
today or tomorrow. The action to be
taken by this government was given
the most careful consideration at the
cabinet meeting this morning, when II
was decided not to take any strenuous
measures at the present time to force
resumption Of traffic from Colon to
Panama by antagonizing the labor or
ganizations OF this country, which
naturally would support the strikers
on the isthmus. The particular sig
nincance in this decision on the part
Of the president and the cabinet may
be seen when the fact Is taken into
careful consideration that this is a
political year of the utmost Importance
to the president and that the greatest
care must be taken TO prevent any an
tagonism Of labor.
The decision on the part of the cab
met not to direct the United States
authorities on the isthmus to enter
into the controversy between the labor
people and the railroad owners by
taking means to see that traffic was
resumed across the isthmus is, il is
pointed cut, directly contrary to all
precedent set by this country, which
has always held that under any and
all circumstances IL was incumbent
upon the United States 10 maintain
traffic between Colon and Panama. In
the present. instance Is will be the
policy Of the United States to let the
strikers and the railroad people fight
the battle out without military In
reference by the United States, ex-
cept In the event United States prop
erty Is endangered, when the naval
commanders are directed to take such
measures as may be needful to pro-
tect the same.

BIC STRIKE
PLANNED BY STREET RAIL
WAY MEN
IN GREATER new YORK
May Tie Up Every Line
in the City.

New York, April 5.-After months
of secret preparation involving the
bringing together OF all street rail
way employees Of Greater New York
into one mammoth organization, plans
are now being perfected for big
strike, which, II carried into effect, is
destined to tie up not only every sur
face and elevated line In the borough
of Brooklyn but which may even ex-
tend to the elevated system in the
boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx.
AS far as could be learned, no time
has as yet been fixed for the strike.
But with the beginning Of the summer
season and the enormous increase In
the business Of the surface and ele-
waited lines in Brooklyn that will come
could be more opportune than the
present.
About $500 men will be affected II
the strike is ordered. The question
Of wages is not the only factor in
the strike.
SAh'ph6 'AS VI thO HbSAa
which will probably be aired, are the
following: Conductors and motormen
declare among other things that when
ever they succeed in finishing trip
In quick time they are docked the
amount of minutes they come in
Ehead of the schedule time. The men
also complain Of being compelled to
break in great number Of green
men.
SO called spoilers" who are employ
ed by the company TO keep tab on the
number Of car fares rung up by the
conductors, they say are allowed $3.50
q day for car fares, but instead of us
ing the money for the purpose for
which 1t is provided. they spend It and
their time in saloons and then trump
UP false charges of short fares, on
which the conductors are discharged.
Five hundred conductors, 1t is declar.
ed, were discharged last Saturday for
alleged short fares on reports of that
nature.

REAL ESTATE
MEN SEE DANGER IN HOUSE
BILL 366
RAISES ASSESSMENTS
And Gives Councils Too
Much Power.

Real estate dealers have Just learned
bill, the passage OF which they be-
lieve would be highly detrimental TO
the property interests of Ohio towns
and cities. The bill is No. 356 In the
house, through which 1t has already
passed, and was introduced by Repre-
sentative O'Donnel by request" as
the original draft indicates.
The purpose Of the measure is ito
amend section SO of an act entitled an
act 10 provide for the organization of
cities and incorporated villages and TO
restrict their power of assessment, tax
alton, borrowing money, contracting
debts and loaning TO their credit so as
10 prevent the use of such powers. as
required by the constitution OF Ohio
and TO repeal all sections of the re-
vised statutes inconsistent herewith,
passed October 22, 1902"
Under the present law referred to in
the foregoing, the council in making
street improvements Is obliged 10 re-
strict it's assessments to 33 1-2 per
cent. Of the assessed valuation Of the
property affected and is not permitted
to proceed with street Improvement
unless il has previously secured the
consents of the owners Of a majority
of the foot frontage The original
amendment included in this bill per-
mitted assessments for all purposes to
reach so per cent. Of the market value
Of the property, but the house. in
| passing upon the measure, struck out
| market value" and inserted assessed
value" While this change is OF great
| importance the bill, as IL now stands,
| is Objectionable in q great degree to
small and large owners Of property.
The other radical change in the new
bill is relieving the council from the
consent of the property owners in or
dering an improvement. II the ODon-
nell bill becomes law. councils Of the
state can dictate in this matter and
the property owner has no alterna-
tive but to lay down his assessments,
even though they reach half Of the as
sessed valuation of his property.
A widely known real estate dealer,
condemns the O'Donnel bill in most
emphatic terms
IF this law be passed." said he. 'it
viii have the immediate effect OF de-
preciating property values upon all un-
improved streets Of this and every
other city in the state. The increase
in the maximum Of assessments from
80 l-3 to so per cent, which may be
levied upon property for all pur-
poses, cannot help but have this result.
This means that property may be
taxed 80 per cent. of 80 per cent, Its as
sessed valuation, or 80 per cent of it's
market valuation.
| The feature Of the bill which gives
TO the council the power to extend i'm
provements without the consent Of the
property owners will also have bad
effect upon real estate values So far
as ! am able TO Judge, the bill Is III
advised and harmful, and VIII work
much injury II the remaining body Of
the legislature and the governor per-
init II 10 become law"

1.-THE dogs of war being let loose, the
question naturally arises: Who are the
belligerents?. DR. N. Russell began,
after he had been properly introduced.
This question does not cover the pos
sible complications where other states
like China, England, France or the
United States may be involved. What I
propose to analyze is: What interests
and classes In japanese and Russian
sides are in conhict?''
Tracing the wonderful progress of
Japan during the past fifty years, DR.
Russell said that one of the most re-
markable feat"res was that the gov
erning classes found no opposition from
below, but rather cooperation of all
classes. THE modern Japan, standing
proudly on equal footing among other

Shanghai, Manehuria and other coun-
tries where Russia hoped to do the
most business. are both from a COM
mercial standpoint, OF little benefit to
her. Thus said DR.. Russell, "the con-
quest of new provinces by the Russian
government does not find any justifca-
ton either in the oyerpopulation nor
in the industrial and commercial inter-
ests of the Russian people. OF all vast
provinces conquered or acquired in the

TRIBUTE TO DIR. Russell.
Concluding Mr.. Smith said:
] have spoken of human brotherhood
and here it is:
This meeting tonight is attended by
many races all in sympathy with one
great causei and it is made conspicuous
by the presence on the platform of a
former Russian subject who. in seeking
to stand for civilization and humanity
in this war, finds that his place is with
the Japanese Like every enlightened
man in the Cars Empire, not sEackled
to the throne, he cannot sustain gov
eminent which violates his sense of
what is due between man and man and
which holds that the race to which he
belongs was born saddled and bridled
for the few who are booted and spur
red.
It is surely fitting that one of these
Russian patriots, whe, believes that hui
mainly is above all nations. should join
with Americans and Europeans here to-
night in honoring the Japanese Red
Cross work. 1t shows how wide a
brotherhood and how common an aspir-
alton the Red Cross signifies.
War is a bitter thing but It is no
longer merciless. Men are killed as of
old. but they are not permitted to die
without something being done to save
them; and the helpless and the innocent
whom they left at home are not turned
out to starve. If the time ever comes
when wars shall be no more, it will
come by the growth of the spirit which
the Red Cross typifes; by the example
which the new Samaritan, with the
cross upon his sleeve, sets in the midst
Of armies Civilization may yet come
