New Steamship Line

The companies interested in the es-
tablishment of line of steamships be-
tween Canada and Mexico by way OF
the West Indies have decided TO petit
ton the Dominion Government to place
a small duty on all products from Brit
ish possessions into Canada by way OF
any foreign country. The object IS to
secure for dominion ports the Canadian
trade of the British West Indies. In
terested parties are convinced that the
success Of the Canada-Mexican line
will depend entirely on getting this
trade. There is a small duty on coffee
that is brought into Canada by way Of
the United States. and the desire IS
that the same rate OF duty be placed on
bananas, oranges and sugar.-New

United States Consul Peter Strick-

rail has been laid on the road which

soon be running over IT, When this

trade, Americans cannot be considered
among these. French steamers of 1900

Andrew Furuseth of the City Front

enthusiastic applause at the conclusion

G. B. Benham made the address Of
the day. He said in part:
The most interesting thing in connection
with the trades union is the study Of its ef-
fects and the marking Of its results in reaa-
tion to the people OF this country There are a
great many otherwise wise men and women
who look upon the trades union movement a
very new thing. As matter Of fact. the prin-
ciples which underlie the trades upion move
ment tas well the forming OF workers into
tiduity. In reality the only new thing in re-
gard to the workingmen and their organiZs-
tions Of to-day is that they are confronted with
a set OF ANTAGONISTS, wei eduipped 10
carry on vigorous opposition to the desires
OF the producers.
Is there a fair-m minded person in any quarter
OF the globe who questions that the working
people have solid grounds for claiming better
conditions7" Is there n person who believes
been accomplished? The ethics of our people
generally agree with our economic conditions.
Where poverty is present we seek without
hope for disappointmentl for vice. crime and

SOME MISTAKES MADE.

Society is an organism and its parts are
constantly assuming new relations that bring
10 the foreground new duties. There is a
charge made against the trade unionists which
no sane man would attempt TO deny-that their
mistakes have been grievous and many, and
because they have made mistakes there is A
sentiment expressed by some unthinking per-
sons that the trades unions should be de-
stroyed. Shall they be discarded because they
have erred? Shall they be disrupted because
they are not perfect2 II this be the pro-
gramme OF society no form OF human organi-
zati5n could remain intgct-nay not an in
divi6ual could survive the application and
operation Of this rule The honest man in
society viii not advocate the destruction OF
the WORKERS organizations because OF recos-
nized errors AS well attempt 10 destroy the
church organizations or the honorable pro-
fession Of law because all Christians are not
kind and all lawyers not honest. There are
acknowledged evils in the system of popular
government under which we live. and for this
should strive TO cause the downfall OF the
republic?
The labor question is the question OF the
POOL reflects the light OF the sun. so do we
ind the reflection of the labor movement in
every newspaper. in the speech or every, states
man and in the sermon from every pulpit.
This widespread discussion and publicity
makes possible the progress OF the people and
advances the interests OF industrial justice. AS
every American citizen reveres the memory OF
the Pilgrim fathers and those who laid the
foundations Of this Government so do those
who have an Intimate knowledge OF the labor
movement hold dear In memory those who
We're foremost in bringing about these labor
organizations. Which mean so much for the
workers and for the social advancement or
our people. With the progress OF their work
and 3 Just appreciation OF their powers and
opportunities the ends sought by the trades
unions will be accomplished with wisdom and
diligence. II is the hope OF the members OF
the trades unions and OF all reasonable citi-
zens Of this republic that the hour may not
