NOT oUITE PROTECTED.

Those who believe in the fullest pro- tection for home industries are sorrow ing because foreign manufacturers of pig iron, steel and other heavy metals continue to underbid Americans for con tracts for furnishing supplies to the Panama Canal Commission, and are carrying off the cream of this business. Inquiry at the Commissions headquar- ters brings out the fact that practically all of this business has gone to foreign CTS since Secretary Taft's decision to enforce the "open door, principle of trade on the canal strip. In all other items American bidders can undersell their foreign rivals. The best contracts are for machinery of various kinds, such as steam shovels, boilers, engines, etc. These are captured by home firms. In fact. their bids are so low that few English manufacturers compete for this class of work In addition, there is a strong desire among officials of the commission in favor of American contractors to the full limit, Conse- quently awards are not made on the sole basis of lowest bidder, Three con- alterations enter into the awards, name ly lowest bid, responsibility of bidder, and compliance with the specifications. These three factors furnish plenty of leeway for discriminating against for eign competitors, the result being that Americans are capturing the best con- tracts for all kinds of machinery. But in the item of steel and iron products the English excel. Their goods are ship ped direct from England to the Isthmus, where they are received free of duty.

OFFICIALLY OYER.

The big sympathetic strike of teams ters in Chicago is finally over. It has lasted 105 days. and was officially de- clared of by the members of the Teams ters' Joint Council at 12:3o o'clock yes- terday morning. The men have been ordered to seek their old positions. and it is estimated that less than one-half of them will be re-employed, The strikers made a complete surrender, and will apply for work as individuals, and without an agreement of any kind with their employers. The strikers broke ranks yesterday in a stampede for work. The barns of the strike affected firms were besieged by men who have been idle for months. and whose places have been filled by non- union men. The employers in many eases announced that there were va cancies for only a few. Of more than 4,000 men who quit, not more than 1 400 or 1,5OO will be reinstated during the next few days. The coal teamsters and truck drivers did not join in the rush for unemployment yesterday, their sympathy having not yet given out.
 Thus ends a sad and in many re- spects bad strike. It ought to be instructive for long time

 To carry out Sir Williams scheme, all that is required is capital and the permission of the Turkish government. The supply of capital is, of course, dependent upon the granting of the concession. The Turks are said to be well disposed towards the scheme, but inasmuch as part of the territory lies along the line of the proposed Bagdad railroad, determined political opposition may be looked for from Germany, un- less England should consent to modify her attitude toward that pet enter prise of the Emperor.

That blessed word Mesopotamia has a new interest nowadays. The irriga- ton of Mesopotamia, with the view of making 1t once more one Of the gran aries of the world, has become the sub ject of serious discussion in London and Constantinople. Sir William Will cocks, the late director general of res- ervoirs in Egypt, has brought the gi- gantic scheme within the sphere of practical politics. He has made ex- haustive inquiries in the land of the Twin Rivers, has collected most of the necessary data, and has divided up the country between Tekrit and the head of the Persian Gulf into some fifteen sections, which can be dealt with one after another, or simultaneously, ac- cording to the amount of capital available. The whole area includes over 10000 square miles of alluyial soil, every square yard of which is caoable of being irrigated and cultivated. The general scheme includes the improve ment of the Tigris and the Euphrates as means of transportation, and the utilization of canals for the same pur-

AN ATTACK ON L0W FTN4NcE.

There are other kinds of finance than the high kind. One of the low kinds is carried on by organized gangs of men and women in all the large cities who make their living by getting hurt They have witnesses of all kinds ready at hand to swear to the nature and extent of the injuries" they have re- ceived, and they have piled their dis honest calling so successfully that it has become necessary to form an or ganization for the special purpose of combating them. This will be done by classifying and indexing all these pro- fessional claimants and witnesses, who will be 'pigeon-holed' in the central office of the new organization, which Will have detectives in all the large cities to keep them under constant sur veillance. By this arrangement these gangs will be prevented from moving from one city to another, as they have done in times past when one place got too hot for them. The large con- struction companies and street railroad companies, the corporations that build bridges, the electric light companies and various other similar corpora tions and firms have been robbed much, and it is their hope that this new or ganization, which has not yet been named, will be able to greatly reduce the amount of illegal damage collected.
