country SO far this year as during the
same period OF last year, and that only
one-thlrd as many have entered Amer
lean ports as during the corresponding

Much Of the difference is attributed To
retrenchments BY Independent railroads

( sion and Improvement. which give en-
ployment 10 thousands of foreigners.
Fewer stories Of golden promise have
been taken back 20 the "old countries -

CASTRO A BUGAbOO
TO THE DIPLOMATS
A Human Enigma, That
No One Has Been Able
to Solve.

Castro, the irrepressible, is rapidly be-
coming a bugaboo 70 the diplomatic
quiet OF Washington. Though never
mentioned By name, he hangs upon the
tip of every tongue. At the meeting Of
the Society Of international Law, which
dealt only in generaIities, he seemed 10
Turk behind every problem which the
distinguished lawyers took up for dis
cussion. He Is the embodiment Of the
unanswerahle in the domain Of
diplomacy.
Though his name was not uttered,
there was a general feeling that every
next moment he would be held up 10
the scrutinizing gaze as the human eX-
precision Of every erratic tendency that
diplomacy and international law. and
big navies and big sticks, are trying 10
control
II is now pretty we'll understood that
nothing viii b. done to the audaclous
President unless the people OF the coun-
try can be brought to think as the peO-
pie Of Washington. The members OF
the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions are hesitating until popular opin-
ion shall declare itself. And a great
deal of popular opinion doesn't appear
to care enough about Castro 70 say so.
The State Department has diagnosed
him completely and passed him up as
iucurable. II is pretty well understood
that he has deposits of several millions
in Paris banks, and that he is ready for
flight il things go wrong in his BALI
wick. But that he doesn't think it
necessary Just yet is evident
IN the meantime, everyone asks what
is going to be done with Castro. and no
one seems to be willing 70 hazard a
guess.

IN LABOR WORLD
BUILDING STRIKE
NAY Be ADJUSTED
BriCklayers' Leaders Here
to Effect a Settle
ment.

International President Bowen, First
vice President PFeece, and Secretary
treasurer DobsOn. Of the Brickiayers
and Aasons international Union, ar
rived in W ashington Thursday 10 look
over the building trades lockout situa-
uon. All Of these men are experienced
IN the labor movement. Their presence
ia Washington at this time is reaesurine
10 the building trades generally. and il
promises that something will be done
Immediately 10 define lines either for
Ieace or war, more clearly than 5hey
have been for several weeks.
Since the opening OF the spring build
ing boom, there has been disseusion in
the ranks Of the brickIayers. ard there
has been a well defined movement on
the part Of one faction to return TO
work in an open shop and accept peace
OF any cost. This has been bitterly
fought, PresideCt Bowen taking a hand
and preventing such movement on two
occasions. The contest. naturally. has
been watched with interest by the other
trades, IS the bricklayers are one Of
their strongest forces.
It is probable that the crisis viii lead
10 a definite decision at an early date,
and the strike-iockout either viii be
abandoned on the best terms possible,
or II viii be fought out 10 the bitter
end. There is a possibility that an ef-
fort viii be made 70 have a meeting
and some sort Of an agreement with
the Employers Association Should the
men so back 10 work, they Will insist
upon a closed shop within a trade
