NO NEED OF TROOPS
William D. Haywood Discusses
Situation at GOIdfieId.
EXPLAINS MINERS POSITION
Are Willing to Accept Cashiers
Checks for Half of Their Wages but
as the Paper Is Not Generally A, !;
cepted They Ask Half in Cash.

Denver, Dec. 6.--When William ID.
Haywood, secretary treasurer of the
Western Federation of Miners, was
informed that Governor Sparks of Ne
vada had asked that federal troops be
sent to Goldfeld, New, he said:
"The miners at Goldfield have been
fair with the mine owners and / can
not conceive how federal troops could
be necessary unless capitalists have
become Inscriptions.
IL have just returned from Gold
field, where | investigated the dis.
putes between the miners and mine
owners There has been some talk OF
a reduction in wages owing to the
financial panic, but this talked of de.
crease has not come, to my knowl'
edge.
"Secondarily, the miners were dis.
satisfied at the cashiers check sys'
tenn. They were willing to put up
with the panic, however, and offered
to accept half of their wages in cash.
iers' checks and the other half in
gold.
"The value of cashiers check has
greatly decreased in Goldfield. Not
being generally accepted the miners
were willing to save them until the
panicky situation had been alleviated.
But it was necessary for the miners
to live, which in Goldfield necessi.
tated that portion of their salary be
paid In gold.
II personally interviewed Governor
Sparks on the situation. Nevada has
no state troops and therefore there is
no danger of a riot. Sparks seemed
to know this and my impression of
him was that he would hesitate to
permit government troops to enter
Nevada, because their entrance might
mean riot"

TO EFFECT CLOSER TIE.
Commercial Men Meet Head of De-
partment of Commerce.

Washington, Dec 6--To effect a
closer tie between the department of
commerce and labor and the CONNER
cial bodies of the country notable
conference was held in the office of
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Straus Besides Secretary of State
Root, who was invited to attend be-
cause the state department is deeply
interested in the subject of interna-
tional commercial relations, and Sec
retary Straus, who initiated the move
ment for the conference, there we're
present delegates from chambers of
commerce, boards of trade and other
organizations from New York, Buffalo,
San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago, New
Orleans, Baltimore, Boston, Minneap-
oils, ST. Paul, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Portland, Ore; Philadelphia, Pitts
burg, Charleston, S. c.; Galveston,
Richmond, Va; Seattle, Milwaukee,
Denver, st. Louis and this city. A re-
lationship similar to that sought in
the calling of the conference exists in
several European countries, including
Germany, England and France.
The first meeting was OF q prelim.
mary nature and its purpose is regard
ed by IT'S promoters as administrative
as distinguished from legislative. Tar
iff. reciprocity and matters of finance
were debarred as not within the scope
of the department.
The formation of permanent a6.
visory council representing the com.
mercial bodies of the country Is re,
garded as probable result of the
conference and 1t is suggested that
the cooperation of the council might
extend to other departments of the
government that come in close touch
with the commercial interests of the
country, such as the departments OF
state, agriculture, treasury and In.
terror.

 Demopolis, Nov. 26.-(Special )-- Congressman George w. Taylor who .returned home from the trip of inspec- tion to the Panama Canal Sunday af- ternoon, talks most interestingly on the subject of the great work.
 He has the utmost confidence in the ultimate successful completion of the canal. and is particularly proud of the fact that three of the most prominent oficers connected with the work are Alabamians. Col. William c. Gorgas of Tuscaloosa, ranks second in the medical corps of the United States ar my. and is more than likely to be the next surgeon general. Major SibeEt of Gadsden. and Major Harding of Tus- caloosa are the others.
 MT. Taylor reports most enjoyable trip and says that the most significant fact of the great strides made since Uncle Sam purchased the property is that under the old French regime a fare of $50 in gold was charged to cross the isthmus on the railroad and s10 for persons to walk along the road bed.

 WORK ON THE LOCKS

Demopolis. Nov. 2s.--(spsciai )--Ths force at Lock No. 1 was considerably set back Monday when they discovered that during the night the immense lot of driftwood brought down by the rise in the rivers had pressed with suck tremendous forca against the dam that portion tabout 130 feet) of the top. consisting of forest timber and cob bies. had been carried away.
 By hard work the timbers were re- covered and it is thought that when the water falls sufficiently to get back to work It will only require two or three days to repair the damage.
 It was at first reported that the en- tire middle section of the dam had been washed out which if true would have necessitated another years work.
