struction Of Panama Canal.

Washington. May 19.-Secretary Taft
has decided not to buy any foreign
built ships ut present and to purchase
only material for the Panama canal
conStructiG ion needed for inlmedi1tc
use. This decision does not nc2n that
the President and secretary have IN
any degree changed their policy recent
ly announced to govern purchases for
the canal work. it being explained that
they do not intend to take advantage
of the present situation by stocking
up heavily i'm material and ships in an
ticiTation of restrictive legislation by
Congress at its next session.
1t is stated on authority that tho
President and Sec. Taft would gladly

tailed the difficulties that confronted
the commission in its work and repudi
atcd attacks made on the body. parti-
cularlv answering a number of criti-
clsms by James ]. Hill.
Commissioner Clements SPOKE sarcas-
tically of the claim that only traffic
men had the knowledge necessary to
make rates and declared that in the
hearings an effort had been made to
turn the investigation into criticism of
the commission. Mr.. Clements said that
it was not intended in the proposed
legislation to confer rate power on the
commission and. answering a question
of Senator Deliver. declared that the
decision of the maximum rate case
which held that the power attempted to
be exercised would give authority to fix
all rates, Went too far. The commission,
he said. would deal with complaints as
they were made. Mr.. Cleme nts instanc-
ed the relations of the Pennsylvania
Railroad with the Baltimore & Ohio, the
Chesapeake Il Ohio. and the Norfolk &
Western and said that several men held
dictatorship in all of them, adding that
this indicated that there was little prob
ability of reduction of rates Ey COMPETE
tors under these conditions.

to statements Of Prof. Meyer of the
Chicago University, whom he called Il
"Do,trinaire " suggested that there was
IAN aristocracy of wealth which could
hire men to advocate the theory Of vest
ed rights against the rights of individ-
uals' and asserted that the patron
saint for the Institution to which Porf.
Meyer belongs" had a colossal fortune
built up by rebates enabling him to OBJ
tain the property of competitors. He
said that in the press and college We're
found the advocates Of The superiority

the trouble which has existed for n fo"t-
night between the star hers and empl ~
es. Nine of the large Factories having
laundry plants are now affected and 10
work is being Numbered in those shops
because the starchers refuse to handle
the work. If the work cannot be launl-
cred business in the factories is likely
to halt unless the manufacturers decide
to utilize non-union Lelp. of which
there is no indication.
The trouble started in the laundry de-
partment Of Cluett Peabody & Co., said
to be the largest plant of the kind in
the world. The employees demanded
more wages, which, they said. had been
cut down: also the reinstatement of dis
charged employees. The firm refused. and
the starchers quit together with those
in the Ide plant. Material from these
starchers refused to handle it and left
the various shops. Thus the trouble
spread, and. as goods cannot be hand
led except the laundering departments
about 1000 hands. many Of them girls,
are now without work. # the strike
continues many thousands more will be
involved. The strike is also extending
along other lines. Transfers are refus-
ing to handle goods from the shops
while the manufacturers have been
notified by the express company agents
that they did rot care to take the goods
from the factories and endanger the
men working on their wagons. Many
