REPORT ON PANAMA
IS SENT TO CONGRESS
Attack on Lock Type Impedes
Building Any Canal.
PLANS AND WORK APPROVED
Engineers Estimate Canal Cost at
$500, 0O0, OOO-Roosevel Lowers
Gatun Dam Twenty Feet-He
Says 1t Was Needlessly Strong.

Washington, D. C.-In his special
message to Congress, accompanying
the report of the engineers who re-
Gently visited the Panama Canal in
company with Presideht-elect Taft,
President Roosevelt threw down the
gauntlet to those Senators who
threaten to reopen the entire canal
question and advocate the digging OF
a sea-level ditch. The President de-
clared that any criticism on the pres
ent lock plan is really an attack on
the policy of building any canal at
all" He added that any change in
the system would be "an i~nexcusable
folly" The recommendation of the
engineers unequivocally indorses the
lock canal. 1t disposes of all the
rumors as to the stability of the
Gatun dam by declaring that struc-
ture to be entirely safe and capable
of w~ithstanding all strains to which
1t may be exposed. The engineers
estimate that the complete cost of the
canal will aggregate $3.50, 600, 600.
The Presidents message touches
on all these points and then excori-
ates those who have ventured to ex-
press their belief that a sea-level
canal is the only feasible system. The
leader of these critics is Senator Kit
tredge, chairman of the Committee
on Interoceanic Canals. Senator For
aker also is allied with Mr.. Kittridge,
and it is declared that the only rea-
son why a vigorous fight has not been
undertaken by these two Senator'S is
found in the fact that both retire
from public life March T., and the
congested condition of legislation in
Congress at the present time pre-
cludes any consideration of the ques-
ton before that date.
81 commend to you," he says to
Congress, "the most careful consider
alton of the report. The engineers
show that the only criticism which
can be made of the work on the
Isthmus is that there has sometimes
been almost an excess of caution in
providing against possible trouble.
AS to the Gatun dam itself, they
show that not only is the dam safe,
but that on the whole the plan al
ready adopted would make it need
lessly high and strong, and accord
ingly they recommend that the height
be reduced by twenty feet, which
change in the plans 1 have accord
ingly directed"
The engineers report that, as the
Gatun earth dam was the central
point of discussion, they gave 1t, un-
der instructions from Mr.. Taft, first
consideration in the light of all new
evidence" and they add that "the
type of dam now under construction"
is n which meets with their "unan-
imous approval" They say they are
satisfied that there will be no dan
gerous or Objectionable seepage
through the materials under the base
of the dam, nor are these materials
so soft as to be liable to be pushed
aside by the weight of the proposed
dam so as to cause dangerous settle
ment. We are also satisfied that the
materials available which it is pro-
posed to use are suitable and can be
readily placed to form a tight, stable
and permanent dam"

STEEL PRICES CUT BY
TRUST IN WAR ON RIVALS
Building Boom Announced by
Chairman E. H. Gary.
SMALL MILLS FORCED FIGHT
Big Manufacturers Wage a Campaign
of observation-disclosures Battle
by Reduction of From So to 81
Per Ton.

New York City. - A wide open
market was officially announced by
Ebert H. Gary, head of the Steel
Trust. Several hours before the for
NAL announcement the Carnegie Steel
Company, one of the chief subsidia-
ries of the trust, was closing on
tracts in Pittsburg at prices ranging
from So to 81 a ton under the agreed
schedule. The Steel Trust had be-
gun to shoot into the ranks of its
lesser rivals five hours before the
formal declaration of war.
A wide open market for steel has
s%tupendous significance. For months
there has been stagnation in many
industries which ordinarily consume
great quantities of steel, the high
prices fixed and adhered to by the
largest manufacturers frightening
buyers. 1t has been eight years, or
since the spring of 1901, when the
trust was created, that there has
been an open market for steel pro-
ducts.
Rails are the only product not at
fected by the cut. They will stand at
$2S per ton.
The consequences of the open mar
ket are expected to be sweeping and
of a mixed character, benef1cent in
some ways, evil in others.
A great revival in the building
trades is looked for, which will give
employment to hundreds of thou
sands of men in all parts of the coun-
try and bring into active use the tens
of millions of dollars which are prac-
tically lying idle in the vaults of
banks and trust companies.
A greater consumption of its pro-
ducts means not only more work for
more men in the many plants of the
steel making industry, but o
work for more men where the crude
ore is mined and more work for more
men on the railroads and lake steam
ships which transport the raw and
manufactured products.
That is the bright side of a wide
open steel market. The other side
promises a picture which will show
the destruction of many of the little
Independent steel making concerns
which will be financially incapable of
withstanding the strain of competi-
ton with the billion dollar corpora
ton. Some of these little concerns
are the sole support of small commu-
mites. With the doors closed, the
chimneys smokeless, the machinery
going to rack and ruin from non-use,
the homes of the idle workmen will
close up n by one and the commu-
nifty vanish in all likelihood.
