CANAL OFFICIALS TO
SHOW NO MERCY TO
ZONE MACH|N|SIS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The 100
machlnists on the Isthmian canal who
quit work the day President Taft
sailed from Colon, homeward bound,
may expect little sympathy from the
government authorities.
It has become known here that
President Taft has already transmitted
to Colonel Goethals, chief engineer
on the canal, his final decision in the
matter. The machinists-al union
members-had conference with the
president at Culebra on November 16
They demanded an increase In wages
and an extension of their annual
leave with pay. Taft told the men he
would forward his decision as soon as
he landed at Norfolk. The men were
dissatisfied with this. and Immediate
ly gave notice Of their resignation.
The canal authorities maintain that
the strikers have no cause for griev-
ance. They declare that the employees
not only receive salaries, 10 to Is
per cent higher than those paid for
work of the same character in the
States, but that they also resolve
numerous concessions which reduce
their expenses.
At present the machinists are al
lowed two weeks vacation annually,
with pay, and. additional 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 being at home more
than a day or so. ,
It is said that President Taft is
willing to concede this point. On
the other point. however, the canal
authorities are urging the executive
to remain firm.
It, is stated for the government that
the strike will not delay the canal
work in the slightest degree, and the
commission is confident of filling the
places made vacant by the resigna-
: tion OF the 100 machinists within a
few weeks.
ASKS MEN TO STAY ON JOB.
PANAMA, Dec. at is reported
that the president of the Boiler Max
ers' union of the United States has
cabled to the boiler makers here re-
questing them to remain at work un-
til President Taft passes on their petit
ton for Increased wages. ~. "
Nearly all the men have quit and
many of them have left the sisthmus.

at the head of the Adelaide obServa-
tory and was the chief of the South
Australian weather bureau. Once when
visiting one of the smaller towns of
the colony he called on a man who
had gained a local reputation as a
weather prophet Without disclosing
his identity Sir Charles said TO him:
Il dabble a little in weather predict
ing myself Would you mird telling
me how you arrive at your conclu-
sions?'
'Oh. that's easy enough" was the re-
ply. There's an old cove in Adelaide
called Todd who puts in the papers
what he thinks the weather's going
to be. and l always put just the OPP
