LABOR UNIONS SCORED
BY PRESIDENT ELIOT
cRITlclsEs THEIR ATTITUDE ON
CONTRACT LABOR
Harvard's Head Points Out That Our
Working People Are Very Unman-
nerIy and PreIudieed in Wishing to
Keep Out the Immigrants
BY Associated Press.

ny ASSOClated ITcSS,
BOSTON, Dec 16.-In an address
before the Economic club OF Boston Ia
night. President Charles W. Eliot Of
Harvard, speaking on "ImmlgratIon. I"
said:
ut Is the labor unions who teach the
doctrine of contract labor exclusion.
That is the source of all the agitation
along these lines. The Americans who
have got into the good trades want to
keep out all the newcomers from those
trades. Mr. Gonpers the other day
i'm New York opposed the admission of
Chinese students and educated travel
ers on the ground that Chinese coolies
might smuggle themselves into the
country in that disguise. | want to
protest against that line of argument.
that we should try to keep out new
arrivals because our earnings will he
reduced. That is not the real danger.
Have wages fallen i'm the last fifty
years or risen? Yet immigrants have
been coming by the millions. Our
laboring cass-if l may use such a
term--hold very unmannerly opinion
about the newcomers. They have not
confidence enough in their own supe-
riority resulting from their own ad-
vantages.
II am no kind of restrictionist to
anybody, either in education, religion
or immigration. We are all of us pret-
ty content with the results of the i'm
migration of the last eight generations.
1t has been the source of our civiliza-
ton and of our ideals. There is good
deal Of race and religious prejudice
in the matter. Men say: Can we di-
gest this mass of Roman Catholics p
Well we have digested many millions
of them, and they have turned out hu-
name, excellent citizens. What race
have we digested with more difficulty
than the Irish? Yet in President
Roosevelt there are two strains of
blood, one Dutch and the other Irish.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-17

"What shall we say Of the yellow
race? Last week i'm New York an at
tempt was made to draw a clear-cut
distinction. The labor orators de-
nounced the Chinese and Japanese,
Implying that these races were physic-
ally, mentally and morally differenti-
ated from us i'm such a degree that
they could not be lived with-all we
want to know about a race Is. can we
live with It? A minister who had lived
i'm China replied that that nation had
produced high civilization when the
ancestors of every man in the room
were living in fur clothing In the will
derness.
I'VE have had an excellent oppor-
tunity to see what the Japanese are
like. Sec what an exhibition they
have given us in physical strength and
power in their mastery of the art of
war. They actually taught the Eng
lish how to fight a naval battle. NO
fleet i'm the world ever made such in
telligent preparation for battle as the
surgeons of Togo's fleet. And witness
the intelligent insight in the conduct
of struggle and the moral qualities in
its conclusion. Yet we have the in
science to conceive Of excluding Jap
anese from this country because OF
their inferiority. AS TO contract labor,
the law cannot be enforced. never has
been enforced and never ought to be
enforced"

than the chief justice Is paid" the
Georgia senator declared.
Mr.. Spooner expressed the opinion
that the president ought TO be given
sufficient latitude In the matter of sal
airy to secure the best possible engi-
neering talent, saying that the compe.
tition among railroads for such talent
was such that It could not be procured
for small pay.
Mr.. Bacon. referring to the payment
OF $4,000 TO the canal commission au-
ditor said:
''It is perfectly monstrous that TINS
subordinate officer should he paid 2O
per cent more than Is paid to the sec
retarv Of war or to the secretary OF
the treasury. the head of the financial
system of the entire government; re
expressed the opinion that high salaries
were largely responsible for the defal-
cations so frequently reported.
Allison Replies to Bacon
Mr.. Allison replied to Mr.. Bacon
speakinR in general Of the canal sal
aries. Mr.. Allison said;
II do not think the canal can be con-
struoted upon the basis suggested by
the senator from Georgia, at least as
respects the higher places"
It was contended by MIR. Teller that
what was needed In the construction
of the canal was a man of executive
ability.
Mr.. Allison agreed that a business
man was needed in the construction OF
the canal. and said he believed that
was what the president had in nina
when he employed Mr.. Shonts.
Mr.. stone recalled the policy an
nounced by the canal authorities last
spring with reference TO the purchase
of foreign ships TO be used in the canal
work when they could be secured more
expeditiously and more cheaply than
American vessels. The policy had, he
said, met with his instant approval but
he was sorry to say that while 1t had
been 'inaugurated with much thunder
ing. ii had gone out with fizzle."
He said the policy of going abroad
for ships had been based on the theory
that there were no available ships to
be had in the United States and he de-
clared that there had been no change
in the conditions between May when
the policy was adopted, and July, when
the two ships were bought from the
Ward line at the price of 81, 900. This
purchase, Mr.. Stone contended, had
been made at the price given when two
vessels of equal capacity could have
been bought in England for $750000.
Mr.. Gallinger said that the English
ships belonged to a concern that had
failed and were bargain counter af-
fair and they were disposed of to other
parties before the proffer at the price
given could be investigated.
Mr.. Newlands spoke of the general
merits of the canal enterprise, eX-
pressing the opinion that the canal
work should have been entrusted to
the geological survey, as the irrigation
reclamation work had been.
Mr.. Culberson withdrew his amend
ment and the bill was passed without
division.
At 4:36 p. m. the senate went into
executive session and al 4:53 adjourned

WOODS Recommendation
Urges Proposed Legislation to Increase
Efficiency of Medical Service
By AssocIated Press

t5y Associated FIesS'
WASHINGTON Dec. 16.--Secretary
Taft today sent to the senate letter
from Major General Wood commenting
the proposed legislation to increase the
efficiency of the medical corps of the
army.
General Wood opposes the employ
ment of contract surgeons declaring
the system "a make-shift and an ex-
pensive one, as is our policy of expan-
sion of the medical department in time
of war through the employment of In
experienced medical men. These gem
tlemen. whatever their professional at
tainments know little of army methods
or of handling large bodies of men, and
they have always paid for their educa-
ton in time of war by an enormous ex-
penditure of men and money with Its
resulting embarrassment in the way
of inefficient troops and large PEN
sion list"
Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-17

next Thursday to January 4. For the
purpose OF bringing out information
showing the existence of civil PEN
sion list, the house asked the president
for the number of civil employees of the
government who had reached the age
OF 10 years.
More than 105 members have applied
for recognition on the subject of in
surance and there Is no disposition to
limit the debate.
Representative Norris Of Nebraska
opened the debate. He saw objection
for referring the matter to any but the
judiciary committee, because IN his
opinion constitutional amendment
might be necessary before anything
could be done to regulate insurance.
II was pointed out by Mr. Stanley Of
Kentucky that there was great danger
to the liberties Of the people in the
constant encroachment of federal courts
on matters properly belonging to state
courts. To give federal courts author
ity over an insurance contract, which
he said was the simplest contract,
would be to set the precedent to give
the same jurisdiction TO all contracts,
which would be the death knell of
freedom and the right of trial by Jury.
Mr.. Sullivan Of Massachusetts paid
his respects to President Roosevelt by
stating that he did not believe him in
fallible either in his law, his state
policy or in mis- recollection of conver-
sations with distinguished visitors.
Arguing against federal control of In
surance. Mr.. sullivan maintained there
was ample state authority to regulate
legal abuses and he continued:
"Neither state nor national legisla-
lures can leglslate honesty into board
of directors of high finance sitting in
New York. any more than they can
legislate thirst out of the citizens OF

SENATE PASSES
THE CANAL BILL
SPENDS THE WHOLE DAY IN
DEBATING IT
only Amendment Is One Requiring
That Congress Be Furnished With
Estimates Of All Salaries Except
Those of Laborers
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec 16.-The senate
today passed the Panama canal emer-
gency appropriation bill but the result
was not attained until after the de-
bate on the bill had been continued
the greater part of the day to the ex-
clusion of practically all other busi-
ness, Set speeches were made by MIR.
Bacon in advocacy of his amendment
requiring estimates for the canal COM
mission salaries; by Mr.. Allison, who
devoted himself largely to the details
OF the bill; by Mr.. Culberson, who
criticised the employment of Mr.. Bish-
op as press agent" by Mr.. Stone,
who criticised the purchase of Amer
lean ships to carry Panama supplies
In face of the announced determination
to go abroad for vessels under the con-
ditions then existing and by Mr.. New
lands, who expressed the opinion that
the construction of the canal should
have been entrusted to the geological
survey.
substitute for Mir. Bacon's amend
ment, offered by Mr. Hale, was ac-
cepted. 1t specifically requires that
congress shall be supplied with regu-
lar estimates of all salaries except
those paid to laborers. skilled and I'M
skilled. Otherwise, the bill was passed
as reported from the committee.
During the session Mr.. Hale made
the authorized announcement that Mr.
Bishops duty as press agent" would
be discontinued.
Wants Estimate of Salaries
When the canal bill was taken UP by
the senate today, Mr.. Bacon took the
floor in support of his amendment re-
quiring quarterly estimates of the
salaries and other expenses of the ca
nal commission.
He said that under the present sys-
tenn congress was deprived of the op-
portunity for proper scrutiny of the
salaries paid to the commissions en-
ployes. Although there was really
stronger ground for such estimates in
the case of the canal employees than in
the regular departments of the gov
ernment. he said such course would
go far toward preventing the extrava-
GRANGE practiced on the commission
He commented on the fact that Mr.
Shonts' salary was more than twice
as much as that paid to the chief JUS
tice of the supreme court of the United
States, and said it was not the policy
of the government to emulate the high
salaries paid by private corporations
Even the auditor of the commission
gets 100000. while the man who passes
upon his work receives only $4,000, and
the executive head of the department,
the secretary of war; only $4,000.
In my humble judgment" he said,
1.-THE man does not live whose per-
sonal services are worth $3.50, ,000'
He said. in reply to Mr.. Spooner, that
he thought that the 100000 paid the
chief engineer of the commission too
great.
