Gus talk about the telegraphers' union

tration and the possibilities of a set
tlement with the companies. The be-
lief prevails that the officials of the
companies will consider arbitration
when the proposition is presented by
the proper parties. despite the denials
of the officials that there is anything
TO arbitrate.
In the face Of assertions made by
the high officials messages are being
DELAYED and If the allegations of the
strikers are correct the mails and eN-
press services are beinE used for the
transmission of telegraph business.
The strikers base their belief that the
companies win agree 20 arbitration on
the allegations that they now are un-
able to handle the business.

mission of Labor. is expected to arrive
in New York tomorrow. and to meet

ish. Egbert Shellender and J. n. Thack-
cray, discharged guards at the institu-

These charges are said to have prompt

NO DEPRESSION
LabOrine Glasses in Better
Condition Than Ever Says

BY THE JOURNALS Special wire.

BY THE JOURNALS Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2O-'I do not
believe the industrial conditions Of tho
country warrant the lack of confidence
that seems 10 exist In some business
centres" said John Mitchell. President
of the United Mine Workers today
"The only thing in my opinion that
would bring on a business depression
would be over production. and there
are no signs TO Indicate that at present.
Labor IS employed, and the people arc
continuing to spend money, and as
long as these conditions prevail there
IS no danger, I'm my opinion. Of hard
times. can see no reason why we
should not have a continuation Of sew
eral years of prosperity.
Generally speaking. the laboring
classes are in better condition than
ever. The workingman lives better
and enjoys more pleasures than he
did in years past.
OF course it is possible for financial
centres TO bring on depression by tying
up money. but there is no good reason
for that because in doing so they would
only be injuring themselves.
"N0, there is no danger Of another
coal strike. Our agreements with tho
mine owners run for several years yet
and there is no occasion for belief
that there will be any violation Of these
agreements on either hand"
Mitchell said that his presence in
Washington at this time. was solely
for the purpose of attending the regu-
lar meeting of the executive council OF
the American Federation Of Labor, OF
which he is a member.

mails there seems to be no doubt that
Japan is trying to raise money with
a view of the acquisition of the Philip
pines.
From at least two reliable sources
comes positive assurance that the
Berlin representative of the pool of
eight Japanese banks commissioned
to float a $50, ,0OO, 900 bond issue in Ger
many told the hnanciers with whom
they negotiated that the funds are de-
sired to bring American insular pos
sessions in the Orient under the
Mikado's rule. Just how the islands
are to change hands. according to the
Japanese plans are not clear. One
story is that the MilSado will get them
by peaceful conquest" which the
German bankers approached are said
to have interpreted to mean "by pur-
chase from the United States.
Another version. however. that the
Japanese emissaries used a japanese
expression equivalent to the German
words "Freidliche Eroberung," or
without great effort.
German bankers have definitely in
formed the Japanese that the financial
stringency makes the floating of the
loan here an impossibility at present,
that nothing can be done before Oc-
