VIII NOT DISCUSS RusselFs Mission at

Washington, Oct. 25.-Pending the
result Of Mr.. Russell's interview with
President Castro the state department
will not discuss its nature. It should
be understood, however, that he will
confine his efforts to possible assist
ance in the solution of the Taigny Incl
dent. involving President Castro's al.
legged discourteouss treatment of the
French minister at Caracas. The
Washington government feels that
President Castro made mistake in
this matter. AS soon as it became
known that this was the paramount
grievance of France against Venezuela
and the primary cause of the dispatch
.ofJ the French squadron the hope was
revived here that France might yet
ind way for the settlement of her
trouble with Venezuela without resort

Making and Executing
The Laws of Our Own County

When the first session of the Fifty
eighth congress got under way last
January the prospect of new legislation
was very small in view of the ap-r
preaching presidential canvass. The
minority senators led by German were
pressing the president for an explana-
ton of his Panama policy. In both
houses the minority tried TO force an
airing of the postoffice department on
account of the exposures made In the
courts during the preceding year. An
important nonpartisan event was the
formation of an interparliamentary
group hesded by Mr.. Bartholdt of Mis-
souri,, which subsequently entertained
the interparliamentary union at the
worlds fair. Congress contributed to-
ward the success of the great fair by
authorized q loan of $4,600O00. The
main legislative event Of the session
was the ratification Of the Panama
canal treaty, Feb. %, by the senate,
E08 to IA, after an extended debate.
Next to this was the ratification Of the

Employers Federated
Against Labor's Closed Shop

Looking at the sum total of the
years economic activity from the
standpoint of the laborer and Of the
mechanic, we see the rapid develop
ment of new force directed against
the very Gibraltar of unionism as it
stands today, especially in America.
1t is the full fledged federation OF the
principal employing interests of our
country, q movement which had its
beginning the preceding year in the
formation Of the Citizens Industrial
Alliance, headed by d. M. Parry.
Through this national organization
nearly every industry in the country
has lined up on the ultimatum for the
open shop, demand squarely re-en-
forced in the post election message of
President Roosevelt.
In the face of. all this the unions In
detail and the American Federation OF
Labor for the majority have contested
every inch Of the way for their right
and purpose to refuse to work with
nonunion men. In this clash of forces
the years record shows gains for the
open shop, notably with the garment
workers, harvester trust, lake pilots,
typefounders, molders, iron and tin
plate workers, sheet metal workers,
butchers and helpers, boiler makers
and in many minor contests generally
as the result OF a strike in which wage
reductions also figured. The open shop
may be said to be the immediate out
come of the terrible conflict between
the miners federation and Governor
Peabody OF Colorado, whose soldiers
aided in crushing the strike by arbitra-
ry arrests and deportations, especially
after the murderous dynamite outrage
against nonunion men at Independence
June 6. After all was over, Nov. 10,
the operators conceded the eight hour
day.
The Chicago Press Feeders union was
placed by the courts in the hands of a
receiver In New York the conviction
of Weinseimer for eXtortion figured in
the strike and lockout of the build
ing trades, and under arbitration agree
ments much work went on. The strike
of Fall River operatives, Jan. %,
against 1917 per cent wage cut has
broken all'records. Umpire Wright de-
cided for the miners in the check
weighmep dispute. Soft coal miners
accepted a cut.

New York's rapid transit subway,
which was completed Oct. q by the

S4O,000O00 contract for its construction,
John b. Mcdonald. But If l were to
tell you the event which would have
the most far reaching effect on the
business of the world my mind would
pick up the historic scene at Schenec-

with the problem of transportation. In

evitable doom on the scrap heap. 1t
meant that in the near future all subur-
ban lines and eventually all railroads
would be electrified, immensely to our
advantage in speed, comfort and econ
omy. A fitting accompaniment of the
subway was the boring Of the first
tunnel under the Hudson for the use
of trolley cars. The Pennsylvania
terminus was in progress, and other
tunnels were projected by the Lack
awanna and Erie. Other great works
finished were the sea wall at Galveston
July 20, the Wabash terminal at Pitts
burg June 1 and the creation of the
$50 foot twin steamers Dakota and
Minnesota as adjuncts to the Great
Northern. These were second in size

Secretary Hays large share in the
chief executives attentions was due to
the prominence of foreign affairs in
connection with the eastern war, with
the PRONUNCIATION of the presidents in
vitation to a second Hague conference
and in the negotiations Of special arbi-
tration treaties with all the leading ma
tons of the world. The exchange of
Panama canal treaty Publications took
place at Washington Feb. 90, and the
terms were proclaimed by the presi-
dent, who appointed a commission OF
noted engineers headed by Rear Admit
raj Walker. The ,abrogation of the Mo-
70 treaty ended the so called alliance
with slavery. Secretary Hay gave Off
cial sanction to the use of America"
instead of the Omitted States as the
official designation of our country in
diplomatic parlance.
Notwithstanding that the administra-
ton has been animated with the spirit
of peace and arbitration in its inter-
national relations, there has been no
halt in the progress toward q greater
American navy. During the year the
following warships have been success
fully launched: The battleships Vir-
GINA, Nebraska, Louisiana, Connecti-
cut, Georgia and Tennessee, the cruis-
ers Charleston and Milwaukee, the
gunboats Dubuque and Paducah and
several training ships. Under the di-
rection of the new secretary of the
navy, Paul Morton, plans have been
matured for continuing the construc-
ton of first class battleships and
cruisers. The president approved of
the navy having control of all wireless
stations. Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw had the distinction of paying
over the $40,000,000 to the French Pan
anna company to secure its title May

revenue stamps for imported cigars.
Gold was made legal tender in Pan

The great world pendulum of COM
merce and finance swung haltingly to-
ward shrinkage of values and indus
trial intrenchment during the first
three-quarters of the year, especially
in our own land, where the presiden-
tial campaign was in progress, with its
elements of uncertainty. During the
latter quarter the pendulum has swung
back toward business confidence and
renewed activities all along the line,
barring some unusual crashes in spec
ulative stocks on the exchange. With
out taking sides as to the issues in
volved, it Is safe to say that the most
disquieting influence in Wall street
was Thomas w. Lawson of Boston,
with his series of fierce onslaughts
on copper, steel, insurance and other
interests of the Rockefeller-M Morgan
groups. These same groups, however,
continued steadily on the path toward
a complete harmony if not actual unity
of American railway systems. While
rivalry between the railroads contin-
ued, Gould's Wabash being particular
ly aggressive for new territory looking
toward its cross continent connections,
it is not doubted that the breaking of
the Northern Securities company by
the supreme court served to check the
formal expression Of further railway
classification. The trust tendency was
less notable in other lines of industry
than in preceding years. the most i'm
portant combinations of the year be-
ing in tobacco, locomotive works and
banks. The purchase Of the Ontario

New England direct connection with

sumed operation since the election, but
so far without restoring wage cuts gen.
