likely TO RESULT IN
WIDESPREAD STRIKE
Head Of Manila Federation Of
Labor Imprisoned

Manila, March 3.-As the result of
the conviction and sentencing to six
months Imprisonment of Dominador
Gomez, leader of the Federation of
Labor of this city, it is generally be-
lieved that a widespread strike in all
the principal industries will occur
Gomez a convicted on the charge of
threatening a strike against any ship
ping firm assisting in any way a local
shipping firm against which a strike
and boycott was declared some time
ago. He has also been the leader OF
several other strikes.
Subsequent to the government nego.
tiations for the settlement of the gen.
eral shipping strike Gomez called out
the employees of II firm in a sym.
pathetic strike, despite an agreement
to submit all disputes to arbitration
for a period of two years. Governor
General Smith then interviewed by in
sisting on the calling off of the strike
and by loaning government launches
to the firm affected. The dispute be
tween the labor unions and the ship
pers has now reached such a stagt
that the general labor situation is
seriously disturbed.

CRIMINAL INDICTMENT
HANGING over HIM
Castro viii Be Arrested II He
Returns to Venezuela.

Caracas, March 3.-Should Cipriaro
Castro, former president of this repub-
lie, attempt to return to the country
he will face the possibility of arrest
by the government the moment he
disembarks, because he has been
criminally indicted in the federal
court on the charge of having con-
spired to effect the assassination of
Juan Vicente Gomez, the present pres
ident. In consequence of this con-
tingency the report that Castro pur-
poses to embark at Bordeaux March
% for La Guayra has been received
here with much interest. It. is feared
that Castro's presence in Venezuela
would9 result in dangerous demonstra-
lions against him, which the police
and troops would have difficulty in
putting down. 1t is thought that Cas-
tro may go first to Nicaragua because
Of his strong friendship with Presi-
dent Zelaya of that republic. The
government is much interested in the
former presidents movements and an
effort will be made to keep track Of
him by cable.
Castro's entire fortune ID in Ven

unless re returns. 1t Is generally be-

seven members of the committee.
These were signed by Senators Mel
son, Kittredge and Foraker (Repub-
licans). CMlberson, Bacon, Rayner and
Overman (Democrats). The addi-
tional views were submitted by Sen.
ators Nelson and Bacon.
President May Have Been Duped.
In the opinion of Mr.. Nelson the
president was not authorized to per-
init the absorption, which is declared
to have been in violation of law. Mr..
Nelson thinks, however, that the pres
:dent may nave been misled or duped
by the officials Of the United States
Steel corporation, Messrs. Prick and
Gary, who urged upon him the neces-
atty Of permitting the Steel corpora
ton to buy the Tennessee concern In
order to save a business institution
Of New York city during the panicky
days of October and November, 1907.
Mr.. Bacon expressed doubt whether
the senate should pronounce finally
on the question whether the president
committed a wrongful act. for the
reason that the senate is judge In im-
speachment proceedings. He takes the
position that the merger was illegal,
but that the senate should not take
any action 10 prejudice any proceed
1ngs thar might hereafter be brought
before It.
From the report signed and submit
tad it appears that had it not been
for the illness of Senator Bacon and
mis-. absence from the committee the
report declaring the president acted
without authority OF law would have
been made as the opinion of the COM
mittee. In any event Senators Gull
berson, and Kfttredge take the position
that q majority Of. the committee has
TVborted that the merger was illegal
sEd that the, department OF Justice
should proceed against the United
states Steel corporation to dissolve it.
/. The disagreement on the resolution.
was placed On the calendar and Will
expire with the close of the present

RULING in SPOKANE CASE

sSss ~ 80
to tile Washington City Reduced
1924 Per cent-Action Likely to
Work a Revolution in Rates From
Eastern Points to interior Trans.
continental Territory.
Washington, March SIN what is
known as the Spokane rate case, the
case of the city of Spokane, Wash,
against che Northern Pacific Railway
company and others, the interstate
commerce commission decided the
two points in the complaint filed by
the city of Spokane against the North.
ern Pacific, the Great Northern and
the Union Pacific, which were:
First-That the rates from Eastern
destinations to Spokane were higher
than to Seattle, . distant point
Second-That the rates to Spokane
were Inherently unreasonable.
On the first point defendants main
tanned that water competition COM
PEELED them to charge the rates in eff
feet at Seattle and that therefore they
might charge a higher rate to Spo'
kane without violating the long and
short haul provision or without dis
eliminating against Spokane under
the law.
The commission sustains the claim
Of the defendants in this respect and
holds that the rates to Spokane, al
though higher than to Seattle, are moi
unlawful.
On the second point the commission
sustains the claim Of the petitioner
and holds that the rates from Eastern
destinations to Spokane are unjust
and unreasonable. 1t reduces. class
rates from st. Paul to Spokane l6&
per cent ard makes substantially the
same reduction from Chicago to Spo
kare Rates east of Chicago are not
dealt with.
The decision, if applied in principle
to all commodities and to all interior
points, must work a revolution ir
rates from Eastern points of origin tc
all interior transcontinental territor!
aud in that view it Is one Of the most
farreaching decisions ever rendered
by the commission.
