A Check on siberian Butter.


During the last few years Siberian
and Russian butter has become
very important factor In the European
market About 16, 600 tons Of Siberian
butter went to England each Of the
recent years, and several thousand
tons more to other European coun-
tries 1t had been improving in quail
ity to such an extent that 1t was prov
ing strong competitor to the butter
made in Denmark, France and other
countries. The Russian government
was fostering this trade, going to the
trouble of providing refrigerator
steamers to carry the butter from
Baltic ports to England. But now the
outbreak Of the war In the East has
apparently paralyzed -the whole traf-
fic, at least so far as Siberian butter
is concerned. The government has
found it necessary to use the Siberian
railway almost exclusively for tho
transportation Of troops and of army
supplies. AS II Is a single-tracb road,
It does not require very much Of a
traffic to test its capacity 1t is there
fore very doubtful II the butter can
at the present be shipped west. Per.
haps the government VIII be able to
take the entire output of the Siberian
creameries for use in its Asiatic army
but in any event the butter must tenn
porarily disappear from the English
market.

of them are in the Democratic party. At the
North nearly all the best people of the Re-

that for all time these intelligent. substantial
and patriotic citizens. who really types of
the highest American manhood. should be found
in opposing camps. On the other hand there is
that affinity between human beings who are
working for the ends that will ultimately
bring them together. Had it not been for pure
ly local conditions prevailing in the South this
amalgamation might have occurred ere now.

AN UNREASONABLE DEMAND.

That the cause of organized labor has
been injured by the unreasonable demands
its leaders have sometimes made there can
be no doubt. Such demands have led to
the organization of employers in self-de-
tense and to organized efforts to prevent
legislation friendly to labor by Congress.
They have prejudiced organized labor in
the public mind.
The latest instance of this kind is a de-
mand made by labor leaders on President
Roosevelt that the eight-hour law be OBJ
served and enforced in the construction of
the Panama canal. The basis for the de-
mand is law on the statute books which
provides that no workman engaged in gov
eminent work shall be required to labor
more than eight hours day. whether
working directly for the government or for
a government contractor. This law applies
to every conceivable kind of government
work. OF course, it applies to everything
connected with the government building
now being erected in this city, from the
quarrying OF the stone to the decoration of
the walls. The alleged reason for the law
was the protection of American workmen.
The law relative to the Panama canal
places the thirty-mle zone under the ex-
elusive control of the President and the
commission. 1t does not make the zone
American territory, but it places it under
exclusive American jurisdiction. On this
state of facts the labor leaders demand
that the workmen employed on the canal,
of whom there will be several thousand,
shall labor only eight hours a day. Aside
from the question of law involved the I'M
reasonableness of the demand lies in the
fact that American workmen will play a
small part in the actual construction of
the canal. The engineers, draughtsmen and
skilled laborers will be Americans, but the
great army of those who do the manual
labor will not be. Admiral Walker, presi-
dent of the commission. has declared re-
peatedly that American laborers cannot
endure the climate and that IL will be
necessary to employ negroes. Chinese or
laborers from the tropics. 1t is difficult to
see how the enforcement of the eight-hour
law as to these would benefit American
workmen-
Since the commencement of work on the
canal by the French, some thousands of
laborers have been employed. They have
all worked ten hours a day and they did
it without complaint. Experts say the
enforcement of the eight-hour law in the
construction of the canal would prolong
the work probably two years and add sew
eral million dollars to the cost. Under the
circumstances the demand of the labor
leaders seems to be thoroughly unreason-
nh
