COAL BARoNs ARE
EXPLOITING NATION
Panama Railroad Directors Say
the Prices Charged Govern
ment Are Extortionate. u

NEW YORK, April /. - The di-
rectors of the Panama railroad, be-
ieving that the big coal men had
formed a ring to hold up the United
States government for extortionate
prices tor fuel, Thursday rejected the
twenty-seven bids for the contract to
supply 100000 tons Of coal to that
road.
New advertisements have been is
sued. and whatever bills are received
In response to those are to be opened
In the Offices Of the company on
March 80. In the meantime the men
outside "the ring" who submitted the
lowest quotations, have sent a formal
protest to the road, and 4hreaten all
manner Of dire results.
The actual reason given by the
railroad officials Tor the rejection of
the bids was that the prices quoted
were excessive.
It appears that out OF the twenty
seven bidders twelve, oorststing Of
the largest firms in the trade, SUBJ
nitted Identical quotations or esti-
mates. OF the remaining fifteen bids
several were rejected because they
vert for coal Of different character
from that required In the specifl-
cations.

BREAD LINE IN AMERICA.
A NATIONAL PARADOX
Trade Unionism the Best Medium
Through Which to Solve
the Problem.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The trade
union movement is the best medium
through :. which the great national
problems OF labor can be intelligently
solved" said John Mitchell, the labor
leader, last Sunday morning to the
congregation of the Free Synagogue,
on West Eighty-first street, New
York City, where he spoke on 1.-The
Industrial Unrest"
He had ben introduced by Rabbi
Wise as the "sanest, wisest, most
statesmanlike leader Of the industrial
forces In America
''What a paradox it isl he con-
tinued, that we, the richest people
on earth, should allQw thousands Of
strong, able-bodied workmen to stand
shoulder to shoulder on the bread
line while their little or 8-year-old
daughters are working 12 and Is
hours a day in the factories.
There should be no legislation to
curtail the albor movement. If the
men were not allowed to shape their
course in the open where everybody
could see what they were doing, they
would do what the people in other
countries have done under the same
conditions-they would do 1t under
cover"

PORTO RIGA LABOR
HATERS ARE COMING
On Mission to Washington to
1mportune Taft for More
Arbitrary Power.

SAN JUAN, April IA crisis has
occurred in the government Of the is-
land. The legislature Of Porto Rico
closed without passing budget for
1sos-1o, and deficiency bill for 1sos-oe,
With many other important bills. All
and every one Of the labor bills were
defeated by the same legislature The
responsibility OF this falls on the
house of delegates alone It is COM
posed of all unionists, without even
one opponent. They are fighting the
government for their own ends
Now committee of three Is going
to Washington to see President Taft
and congress, and ask for more H.
beral form OF government. These
men are: Munoz Rivera, c.. Call
Cuchy and E.. Benitez Castano, who
represent: here the bitterest a*efeInfes
Of the American Federation of Labor
In Porto Rico in their own party. They
are politicians who want to control
everything an deverybody in the ISL
and for the benefit of the grafters
and exploiters Of their party, and are
ant1A1nericans and anti-foreigners.
They want government like Mexico
Santo Domingo, Venezuela, etc.
Most of the prosecutions Of the
workingmen, and the troubles which
have befallen them here, are the
result of this party's attitude and an
tagonism, of which Mmnoz Rivera is
the boss. The workers are aware
that evils do exist, but it is far bet
ter to suffer them with the American
in control, than to have a more liberal
form Of government and more politi-
cal power which would throw the
re1ns into the hands Of this anti
American element, and enemies of all
American labor organizations.
OF course, the situation could be
adjusted by amending the Foraker
act, our organic law, so that the elec-
tions would always allow for minori-
ties of all thinking men. A system
OF elections similar to what ex-Gov-
ernor Magoon established in Cuba
should be installed, and the same
petitions that the labor delegation o1
Porto Rico presented to President
Roosevelt In December, 1907, should
be brought before congress.
