METHODS OF TRADES UNIONS
President Eliot of Harvard Again
Attacks Trades Unions.
Address Delivered Before the social
Science Committee, II Harvard
student Club.

Cambridge. Mass, May i.-Mcthods
of modern trade unions have again
been attacked and those of employers
strongly commended by DR.. Charles
w. Elliot, president OF Harvard uni
versity, in an address delivered be
fore the social science committee, a
Harvard student organization. In the
audience were several prominent Ia
Dor leaders.
The actual industrial organization
in the United States" said President
Eliot, is in large measure a dual or
ganiZation for combat. Within the
last two years this industrial combat
has become more intense though less
violent through the firm organization
of many associations of employers and
now, unlike ordinary warfare, threat
ems to be inCessant, the cOmbatants
agreeing to truces but never making
peace. Its evils are pervasiye, and
always at ones very door.
This condition of combat ought to
prove transitional and temporary for
real public happiness cannot possibly
grow out of 1t.
Solid associations of employers,
which for purposes of combat, must
act as units under the direction Of one
man, or of a small group of men,
abridge liberty-the liberty of each
individual employer to utilize his own
special advantages in competing with
otner men who are in the same busi-
| ness.
The habitual effort Of trade unions
TO create a monopoly in labor, each
in It's trade Is hostile effort against
the community as a whole; for they
seek by this means their own pecu.
mary benefit at the expense of the
rest of the community.
THE boycott is method of COM
bat which is eminently a method of
ill.will 1t is a gross interference with
just industrial liberty
"As they have grown powerful the
unions have themselves become ex-
elusive and oppressive, and their
former altruistic spirit has been cor
rupted by class selhshness. The plain
fact is that the prescription Of non
union men, the strike in sympathy or
In support and the boycott are weap.
| ons which angels and saints could not
use without being demoralized."

London, May "a p. m.-The Jap

noon OF May l the enemy offered stub
born resistance to our pursuit, adding
300 TO our casualties, The enemy
fought bravely to the last. Finally
two companies of their artillery, after
losing the majority of their men and
horses, surrendered, raising the white

sert that Gen Kashtalinsky, the com

tirely routed by our attack because,
since yesterday, many have come in

clude 80 officers, 20 Of whom are

IS ALL FIXED UP
J. Pierpont Morgan Has Made All
Arrangements For Discussing
the Purchase Price.
II WILL Be DONE IN A MANNER
THAT WILL NOT DISTURB FINANCE
The Funds VIII he Handled
Through the Bnndue de France,
Acting as Depository-Report
That other Paris Bankers Are In
terested Is Incorrect,

Paris, May i-Haying wound up the
details of the big financial transaction
connected with the Panama transfer, j.,
Pierpont Morgan has left Paris for
AiX-Les-Bains. Before his departure
he gave out the main points of the
final agreement as follows:
The Panama Canal Co. wished to
have the money turned over in Paris
instead of in the United States, and
was willing to pay all the expenses in
cident to the payment here In order
to accomplish this, the United States
has appointed the Morgan company
fiscal agents for the purpose of pay
ment, the Morgan company, in turn,
to make a contract with the Panama
company whereby the $40 900 900 will be
paid in Paris. The contract specifies the
BanqUe de France as depository, and
also the proportion Of the payments
going to the old and the new Panama
companies, respectively. The signing
Of this contract closes the transaction,
il only remaining for the Morgan com
pany to carry it out by making pay
ments from time to time to the Banquo
de France. This will be done so as
to cause no disarrangement OF the
American or French money markets
The report that syndicate of Paris
bankers is interested 10 incorrect The
appointment OF the Morgan company
as fiscal agents places the whole trans
action in their hands, They will asso-
ciate with Lazard Freres and other
houses of a similar character in New
York and here, but so far as the United
States is concerned it intrusts the
financing operation to the Morgans.
The other details correspond with those
foreshadowed in these disptches April
90
The contract covering the financial
operations bears the Signatures OF
Messrs Day and Russell, the United
States assistant attorney general, the
liquidator of the old company, the Of
fcers of the new company and the
Morgan company.
Mossrs. Day and Russell will remain
here anNher week to secure copies OF
the paper, etc, but they consider the
transaction closed.
