ST LOUIS, Nov. 25.-Talk OF naming
an opponent to Samuel Gompers as
president of the American Federation
of Labor has subsided. IL is under
stood to-day, however that Victor L.

as not to make his selection unani-

STRIKE NOT TO
DELAY CANAL
MachiniStS Get Little SYM
pathy From the Federal
Authorities
SAY THEY HAVE NO
CAUSE FOR GRIEVANCE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.--The one
hundred machinists who Joined the
strike" on the Isthmian Canal, and
quit work the day President Taft sail
ed from Colon homeward bound, may
expect little sympathy from the gov
ernment authorities.
II bacame known here to-day that
the President has already transmitted
TO Colonel Goethals, chief engineer
on the canal. his final decision In the
matter. The machinists--all union
members--were represented at a con-
ference with the President at Culebra
on November 16. They demanded an
increase IN wages and an extension Of
their annual leave, with pay. The ex-
executive was unwilling to decide the
question off-hand, and told the men
he would forward his decision as soon
as he landed at Norfolk. The men
were dissatisfied with this. and inn
mediately gave notice OF their resig-
nation.
The canal authorities maintain that
the strikers" have no cause for
grievance. They point TO the fact that
the employees not only receive sala-
ries 10 to 15 per cent. higher than
those paid for work of the same char
acter in the States, but that they also
receive numerous concessions which
reduces their expenses. At present
the machinists are allowed two weeks
vacation annually, with pay, and ad-
ditlonal sick leave with pay. They
said that this did not allow them to
make the sea trip to the States and
back again and permit Of their be-
ing at home here more than a day
or so. II is believed that President
Taft is willing to grant this point and
will allow them more leave. On the
other point, however, the canal au'
thorities are urging the executive &c
remain firm.
II is stated that the strike VIII
not delay the canal work In the slight
est degree, and the commission Il
confident OF filling the places made
vacant by the resignation OF the lOC
machinists withis few weeks.

HOW WTHECONSUMER
PAYS INCREASE
Freight CHARGES Raised and
There is Advance All
Along the Line

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25--An example
of how poor Mr.. Ultimate Consumer
has TO pay for all the freight rate
increases and how everybody along
the line adds just little more TO his
| bill, was given before the Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day by IL.
G. Barlow, traffic director OF the Chi
cago Association OF Commerce. He
was the chief witness az to-day's ses-
sion Of tho rate hearing.
The pailroads, Barlow said, thought
II was proper TO get more revenue and
so decided to advance rates on such
commodities as they chose to seie5t
for advance, while some were un-
changed and others reduced. He
charged that all the proposed in
creases I'm rates were imposed on ten
per cent. Of the total tonnage. The
railroads charged So per cent on the
increases against class freight and
only 10 per cent. against commodities,
he declared.
It is the class freight, Barlow said,
that goes direct to the retailer, and
thus any increase that Is made will be
passed directly to the consumer.
The effect of the proposed increases
on shoes has already been demon
strated, he asserted. It amounts to
three mills on each pair Of shoes. The
manufacturer has therefore increased
his price TO the retailer fifteen cents
pair. said Barlow, and required
the retailer to charge Mr.. U. Consumer
40 cents more per pair. The shoe case
was cited to refute the contention that
the increases I'm rates are so small
that they won't affect the price to con-
sumers." II was declared by the
shippers to-day the public will not
only have to pay the increase,in rates
but that every one who handles the
goods will tag on an increase Of his
own.

WARM APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
Upton Sinclair, Socialist Aut-

Pardon
py United Presa Leaaed snecial wine

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. Nov. 25.--A threat
that unless a pardon is granted to
Socialist editor, revolution of vio-
lence" Will result during the present
decade is contained in a letter sent
to-day by Upton Sinclair, OF Arden.
Del, noted Socialist author, to Presi-
dent Taft Sinclair demands execu-
tive action In the case of Fred d.
Warren, editor Of the Appeal to Rea-
son of Girard, Kansas, whose sem
tence of six months in Leavenworth
prison and fine of $500 for violat-
Ing the postal regulations has just
been affirmed by United States Circuit
/ OF Appeals to st. raul.
Warren's conviction is characterized
by Sinclair as "an incredible travests
upon justice, and a fragrant case o
the persecution of a maN for bis 30
litical opinions"
Warren's offense was sending pos
tai cards through the malls Offering a
reward TO any one that would "kidnap
a Republican politician, former Coz
ernor Taylor of Kentucky, under in-
dictment in Kentucky for the murder
OF Governor Goebel from Indiana

der OF Frank Steunenberg.
Sinclair views the Warren case at

that II am not only a Socialist. but
also an American and I cannot be-
lieve that you who are under oath to
maintain a republican form of governs
ment In this country can permit 50
wicked a political persecution of p0-
litical opinions TO be set down as a
precedent in our affairs. It lies with
your power to grant to Fred Warren
an immediate pardon and thus TO adj
minister a rebuke to subservient corr
poration judges and to demonstrate to
large and growing party that H. is
your intention TO hold even the scales
Of justice, and TO protect them in their
rights of political propaganda.
IF you fail TO do this there can be
but one result. the men who are to-
day devoting their efforts to effecting

and constitutional methods will ba

Mabel Kenny Rosenberg
 Is Strangely Missing

Friends of Mabel Kenny Rosenberg, the Barnum avenue girl who created "a sensation by marrying the daughter of Rabbi Rosenberg of Brownsville, Brooklyn, late at night in the office of Town Clerk Hyatt of Westport, are considerably concerned over her groom.
 The death of her father, James J. Kenny, occurred last Saturday. Her brother, the only other survivor, made every effort to locate the young mat ron, but failed and the funeral was held Monday.
 The Rosenbergs of Brooklyn can not tell where their son and his bride have gone. The fathers death oc- cured suddenly and the daughter had no information of his brief illness.
 Young Rosenberg has not been at Yale for over a week. He is stu dent in the Law school.
