school philanthropy in New York, deliver
ed lecture on THE Ethical Basis OF
Philanthrcpy" at the Central Congrega-
tional church on Angel street last even
ing. The affair was under the auspices Of

After a thoughtful consideration Of
just what part sympathy and religious
devotion play In philanthropy, Mr.. john
son went on TO show how a great many
cases calling for charity are caused by
what he termed the parasitic agencies.
ANY organization that made n man a
wornout veteran at the age Of 40. he
said was n parasitic agency. In connec-
ton with this he discussed the question Of
child labor. mentioning many places In
Europe and in the United States where
child labor is carried on TO a disgraceful
extent
In closing the speaker said: 'If wa are
to treat tho great phlanthropic questions
Of the day with any degree OF intelli-
gence. we must look for the causes. and
not be satisfied with the immediate facts.
BY emphasizing the cause we would find

The presidents view is that the com
mission as at present organized with
seven members is clumsy and inelastic.
and he thinks there should not be more
than FIVE commissioners, but preferably
three. with All advisory board OF engi-
neers. The president practically adopts
without change the suggestions advanced
by Chief Engineer Wallace. who started
the opposition TO the continuance OF the
present commission. Mr. Wallace is com
menied by the president. and there can
be no doubt that IL the presidents recon-
mendauons are carried out Mr. Wallace
will have full sway in carrying out his
plans for bailding the canal. leaving the
three or five commissioners 10 attend 70
executive business only. In other words.
the president wants a "one man canal
and that man in Chief Engineer Wallace
An interesting piece OF news I'm connection
with the Panama Canal affairs Is that
Secretary TAFT has served notice on the
Pacific Mail Steamship company Of the
abroeation OF its special contract with
the Panama Railway company on July
II. The presidents message follows:
THE MESSAGE.
"To the Senate and House OF Representa-
tives:
II transmit herewith the report OF the
Isthmian Canal commission, accompanied
by letter OF the secretary OF war under
whose supervision ] have by executive
order Ilnced the work OF the commission.
concur with the secretary OF war IN
the view that the present provision Of the
law. by which the work OF building the
canal hns 10 bH done only through a body
of seven members, Is inelastlc and clum-
~, AMI earnestly recommend a change
50 that the president who Is charged
with the responsibility OF building the
canal. may oAercise greater discretion in
the organization OF the personnel through
whom he Is TO discharge this duty
Actual experience has convinced me
that IL will be impossible TO obtain the
best and most effective service under the
limitations prescribed by law. The general
plans for the work must be agreed upon
with the aid OF the bestfngineers OF the
country. who shonld act ~ an advisory or
consulting body.
COMMISSION EXECUTIVE BODY.
-The consulting engineers should not
he rot on the commission which should
for the executive and administrative
work.
The actual work OF executing the gen
eral plans agreed upon by the commission
after receiving the conclusions OF the ad-
yising engineers must be done by an en-
glneer IN charge and we now have an ex-
ceilent engineer.
'.rt is In my judgment inadvisable
therefore 10 restrict the executives choice
OF commissioners to representatives OF
the engineers corps OF army or Of the
navy.
The commission should consist OF FIVE
or preferably OF three. members whose
respective duties. powers and salaries
should be assigned TO them by the presi-
dent and who should be placed under the
member Of the cabinet whom the presl-
dent deaircs.
''Of these men the one appointed as sd-
nrinistrator OF the canal strip should also
serve as minister OF Panama.

middle division" between Altoona and
Harrisburg Is tho cause.
A second fireman on heavy freights has
been removed and the work OF the for
ward brakeman increased. The company
officials refuse 10 either reinstate the
extra fireman or increase the pay OF the

WORKED BRAKEMAN HARDER.
Some time ago the Pennsylvania rail
road officials decided 10 do away with

on account OF the large amount OF
freight handled on that division two fire.
men were formerly employed on each OF
the large Atlantic type freight engines.
When these extra men were discharged
representatives OF the union called on
the railroad officials and asked that they
be reinstated. This the officials refused
10 do and explained 10 the men why they
refused TO do so.
Since the extra fremen have been dis
charged the work ~ the front brakeman
has been Increased. as they are some
times required 20 assist the fireman in his
work.
The explanation Of the officials for re-
fisine TO reinstats the extra firamap. n
is said, was satisfactory TO the renre-
sentatives Of the employees but n few
days later they called again and asked
that the pay OF the front brakenen be
Increased because OF the extra work being
done by them.
This the officials refused also. and tha
union. according 20 the reports took i'm
the matter and asked the men emnIoved
