WATER POWER IS IN DANCER
so SAYS PRESIDENT IN VEToINc
A BILL FOR A DAM.
Considers Himself Bound to Prevent
Monopoly of Public Resources
If He Can.

Washington, jan 16.-President
Roosevelt yesterday sent a special
message to the house with his veto
OF the bill providing for the construc-
ton OF dam across James river. in
Stone county, Missouri, the purpose of
the dam being to get water to create
electric power He declared that the
movement to secure control of the
water power of the country is still in
It's infancy, but that unless it is con-
trolled the history of the oil industry
will be repeated in the hydro-electric
power industry, with results far more
oppressive and disastrous for the peo-
ple
1T is true," he added. chat the
great bulk OF our potential water DOW
er is as yet undeveloped, but the sites
winch are now controlled by combina-
tons are those which offer the great
est advantages and therefore hold a
stategic position He says that .the
OIL gives to the grantee a valuable
privilege, which by its very nature
is monopolistic, and does not contain
the conditions essential to protect the
public interest
consider myself bound,'' he con-
unues, "as far as exercise Of nv ex-
ecutlve power will allow, to do for the
people, in prevention of monopoly of
their resources, what ] believe they

BIG MINE WORKERS SESSION
HUNDREDS OF DELEGATES GATH
Err IN INDIANAPOLIS.
Contest Between Supporters and OPP
ponents of President Lewis Will
be Threshed Out.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 18.-The
United Mine Workers of America will
open in this city at Tomlinson hall
tomorrow This will be one of the
largest assemblages of the organiza-
tons representatives in it's history.
Between 1900 and 1,4O0 delegates are
expected
While the subject of wage contracts
will not demand much attention, a
two-year joint agreement with opera
tors, governing about 100000 miners,
having been reached last spring, it is
certain that the contest between the
supporters of President Lewis admin
istration and it's opponents, which has
been going on for several months, will
be threshed out within the two weeks
session. The leader of the anti-Lewis
faction is President John Walker Of
the Illinois miners, who was Lewis op-
ponent for the national presidency.
The result of the balloting is to be an
nounced in the course of the conven-
ton
The award of the strike committee
appointed by President Roosevelt to
settle the anthracite miners strike
will expire on April / next, and this
convention will have to propose plan
cite miners and operators. Negotia-
tons between these two parties have
been postponed pending the conven-
TONS action The Lewis faction will
attempt, it is said, to place the con-
vention on record as establishing the
rulings of the national board as SUI
preme and joint contracts as inviol.
.able. Only in this way, they assert,
will it be possible for the organization
to be of practical value in making
progressively beneficial contracts
with the operators This action will
be essential, in their opinion, if IA
vorable contracts are to be made with
the anthracite operators to take effect
after April L.
The anti-LeWis faction charges that
Mr.. Lewis administration has failed
to win strikes in Alabama, Pennsyl
vania and Indiana, and the southwest,
that it has estranged important dis
trict organizations and that it has
lost thousands of members. To this
answer is made that there has not
been an actual decrease in the mem
bership, but because of Industrial de-
preston few thousand members, out
of work, were not reported as tax
payers last December.
The executive board met to-day to
consider the case of the report of the
committee that recommended the rein
statement of Patrick Dolan, which the
officers of the Pittsburg district re-
fused to accept as authoritative.

SCHOONER IS Lost
WITH Her CREW
SWALLOW is WRECKED OFF THE
LONG ISLAND SHORE.
DISASTER IN sNoWsToRM
About Twelve Men Supposed to Have
Perished-Little Vessel Hailed
from ST. Johns,
NJ r.

New York. Jan. 18.-In the biting,
driving snowstorm of early yesterday
morning off the Long island shore the
schooner Swallow of st. Johns, N r.,
and her crew paid the toll so often
demanded of those who go down TO the
sea in ships.
The story of the wreck, or so much
as is known of it, was told by the sea
itself. for it strewed the beach east or
Fire island for several miles with bits
of wreckage from the ship itself and
from her cargo. On some OF thls
fiotsam appeared the name Swallow,
st. Johns, N. F." and this told the
beach men who found the wreckage
what vessel it was that had pounded
itself to pieces In few short hours
in the bowling gale.
No Trace of the Crew.
Of the crew, probably five or six
men Judging from the schooner's size,
there was not trace But looking out
at the wildly tossing seas and the
thick, driving snow with it's attending
bitter cold, the beach men knew their
fate. No human power could have
aided them.
1t was at two o'clock in the morning
while beach man from the Blue Point
life saving station a few miles east OF
Fire island, was toiling through the
storm on the lookout for trouble at
sea- that he saw some black objects
bobbing about in the tumbling surf
oil 10 chn 10 Ipln
them in and. finding it was new wreck
age, hurried back to his station to re-
port and to secure aid. Other beach
men soon were on the scene, hauling
in the flotsam and making study OF
it such as these men do. There were
timbers, new lumber. frozen herring
and fishing tackle and finally they
came to a sign board which told the
unfortunate vessels name.
The life savers stood by and pa
trolled the beach all day in the hope
that they might find some trace of the
crew, but nightfall came and their
quest had been vain.
Lost Their Bearings in Storm.
1t is supposed that the Swallow, pre-
sumab1y fisherman, was bound from
Newfoundland to New York with a
cargo of frozen herring and that she
carried a deckload of lumber to help
make the trip pay. Caught in the
storm, the crew probably lost their
bearings and struck on one of the
many sandbars a mile or so off shore
near the Blue Point station There the
wind and heavy seas pounded the YES
sci to pieces in short time and the
men were speedily lost in the sea.
The Swallow according 10 the Marine
Register, was small schooner of 73
tons. She was built 80 years ago at
Moose's river and was owned by John
Dawson Of ST Johns.
Carried About Twelve Men.
ST. Johns n. F., Jan 18.-The
schooner Swallow left here fortnight
ago laden with herring for Gloucester,
Mass She hailed from Pilley island
and the master and men also belonged
there. The Swallow carried about
twelve men. When leaving here she
had aboard Capt. Daggett, an Ameri-
can herring packer, who loaded the
vessel for the market. 1t is not known
here whether Capt. Daggett was
aboard when the schooner was lost. as
he may have left her at Gloucester.

WILL FIGHT FOR
THE OPEN SHOP
HAT MANUFACTURERS DECIDE To
STRUGGLE TO FINISH.
10000 HATTERS ARE OUT
Employers Claim the Strikers Treated
Them Unfairly and Violated the
Working Agreement with
the Union.

New York, Jan. 18.-The open shop
and fight to the finish was the action
decided upon by the Hat Manufacture
yesterday to discuss the situation
growing out Of the strike of hatters
which began Friday An effect of the
strike, according to the manufacturers,
will be a rise in the price Of hats, as
the trouble occurred in the busy sea-
son.
Twelve members, comprising the
board of directors of the association,
attended the meeting. President Sam
uel Mundheim, who was in the chair,
made the announcement after the
meeting that the manufacturers had
declared for the open shop and were
prepared to fight to finish. He said
the number of strikers was between
$4,000 and 100000 but that there were
many non-union hatters out of employ
ment, and that eventually the places Of
the strikers would be filed.
Say Workers Were Not Fair.
"The manufacturers feel that they
have not been treated fairly" he said.
THE strikers should have given us
notice, according to their agreement,
and the action should have been taken
by vote of the union"
Mr.. Mundheim, in discussing the dis
continuance of the union label by the
manufacturers, which precipitated the
strike, said:
THE label is Of no advantage to the
manufacturers and, indeed, is not
hats notice whether the label is in
them or not
The manufacturers president ridi-
culed the report that the union had
100000 with which to make the fight.
He said, however, that the hatters'
union was one of the strongest labor
organizations in the country.
Claim Violation of Agreement.
A statement was issued by the manu-
facturers containing parts of the work
ing agreement entered into with the
union. This was done, the statement
contended, in order TO set at rest any
misunderstanding regarding the atti-
tude of the manufacturers association.
The agreement in effect was that there
should be no stoppage of work until
final decision of arbitrators had been
rendered and that the union label
should not be removed until due notice
is given the manufacturers.
1.-THE United Hatters of North Amer
ica,F the statement concludes, fla
gravity violated the foregoing articles
by withdrawing the men and refusing
the use of the union label to the Geyer
Hat Company, one Of our members,
without notice. Upon their refusal to
restore the label and the men TO the
Geyer Hat Company the Manufacture
ers' association, by a unanimous VOTE
directed all their members to discon-
tinue the use of the union label in all
their factories. The order was not in

condition agreement with scale wages
between the manufacturers and their
employees"

TO BUILD ANOTHER
SEAWAlL SECTION
Commissioners Direct Engineer
to Prepare Plans and
Specifications
Addition Will Make Possible the
Replacing of Three Rckety
Piers

The harbor commissioners yesterday
directed Engineer Ralph Barker to
prepare plans and specifications for the
construction of another section of the
seawal. This latest addition will be
built between Spear and Steuart streets,
and when completed will make possible
the construction of three new piers, in
place of the ancient and rickety struc-
lures now doing service on that part
of the water front. The engineer was
further directed to make such temporary
repairs on Spear and Steuart street
wharves as will keep them in commits
sion until the time comes to pull them
down and clear the way for the new
wharves.
The contract for building offices for
the use of the Pacific Mail company
and the customs officials on piers AZ and

bid of s2,S94. A heating plant for these
offices will be installed by John L. Sut-
ton at cost to the state of $1,000.

also filed the opinion that the fact of
the eakwater at fisherman's wharf
having been extended beyond Taylor
street was not a serious matter, as the
act of 1879, in which the state vacated
its right to extend the seawall beyond
Taylor street, did not change the in
