Thinks Trade Expansion Will
Make Up for Fees.
VIEWS OF JOHN BARRETT
Future of Waterway at Stake. Says
Pan-American Union Head.
RATES WOULD BE PROHIBITIvE
Free Link Between Oceans, HI
Thinks, Will Mean Big Profit
to United States.

Panama canal free of all tolls to the
ships of all nations Is advocated by John
Barrett, director of the Pan-American
Union, who believes that the expansion
of American trade will more than COM
pensate for the loss of fees.
Tolls adequate to pay the upkeep of the
canal and to meet interest on the invest
ment, Director Barrett figures, will be so
large as to become prohibitive against
merce carriers. A canal as free as the
oceans on either side, he predicts. will
make the waterway the greatest channel
of trade. redounding to the tremendous
profit Of the United States. so that the
cost Of making and maintenance will be
met many times over.
The only valid reasons for charging
tolls" Mr.. Barrett says. ARE, first, to
pay the cost Of operation. maintenance
and interest on investment. and, second
to protect the transcontinental railways
from the competition Of free canal. II
from the competition of free canal. If
then. corresponding and compromising ad-
vantageS in each case will result from a
free canal, it should be made free. The
increase of the trade of the United States
through a free canal will be so much
greater than that through a toll canal
that this increase in the first year would
equal the revenue from tolls for five
years. while in ten years the increase
resulting from free canal over that OF
a toll canal would pay nearly twice over
the original cost of the canal, or fifty
times the cost Of annual operation, etc.

Denied by Morrison.

The statement attributed in news
dispatches from Indianapolis to w. j.
Burns, the detective, to the effect that
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor and other labor
leadsrs knew all the time that the Nc
Namaras were guilty was vigorously
denied today by Frank Morrison, sec
rotary of the American Federation Of
Labor.
LAS I declared in the statement I is
sued Saturday l had absolutely no idea
that there was a possibility that the
MoNamaras could be guilty. said Mr.
Morrison. "Mr. Gompers and the other
officers Of the American Federation
of Labor shaped their course in the
Mcnamara case on the firm belief that
they were the victims of conspiracy
to prosecute them. and / know no one
was more surprised and shocked at
their confessions than was Mr.. Comp
ers and myself"
Officials at labor headquarters In the
Ouray building, Sth and G streets

to when President Gompers would re-
turn to Washington. One Of them

Time, Says Burns.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, December A.
Samuel Go1npers knew all the time that

William J. Burns in Indianapolis yester-
day.
when Mr.. Gompers says he was sur

funds to defend the prisoners. Some OF
the other union leaders knew they were
guilty, too, and now they are trying to

been deceived.

resulting from a free canal over that of
toll canal would pay nearly twice over
the original cost of the canal, or fifty
times the cost Of annual operation, etc.
Tolls Would Be Prohibitive.
''The basis for tolls will be this cost of
operation, maintenance and interest. The
official estimate of annual cost Of oper-
alton and maintenance is 100000. In
terest on the outside approximate cost of
the canal. S4OO.OOO,GOO at as low a rate
as 5 per cent would be S12.OOO,OOO. Tolls
should therefore bring in an annual IN
come Of $15,OOO.0OO. Upon q conservative
estimate of trade experts, the actual
traffic in 1915 will aggregate 1O,OOOUOO
tons, which means that every vessel must
pay S1.O per net ton for each passage.
On an average measurement of 5000 tons
per vessel, each ship would therefore pay
tax or toll of $500 per trip, which in
turn must be added to the cost of freight
and is ultimately paid by the consumer.
THAT this $500 tax on a 3,OOo-ton
steamer engaged in commerce may be a
serious burden is realized from the fact
that this sum would probably pay, in the
case of the average low-speed freight car
rler, the entire wages of the captain and
crew for the trip and that the total of
different payments for passages in
a year through the canal would be equal
to the legitimate income of the invest
ment represented by the ship, and this
amount paid out in canal tolls might
therefore prevent the vessel continuing to
engage in the commerce of the canal.
"A free canal. at conservative eSti-
mate, based on the data of trade experts,
will carry in the first year 1900, 900
more of the products of the United States
than d toll canal an amount equal to
receipts of tolls required to cover opera
ton and interest for five years.
At this rate for ten years, without even
counting the natural growth from year
to year, the increase for that period
will pay for the entire original cost
of the canal and liberal interest on the
investment. or $750,0O0,00O. Stated an
other way, will the United States de-
liberately throw away an opportunity
to increase the sale of its products

Will Prevent Traffic Monopoly.

IAN annual appropriation of $4,000
0OO to operate and maintain the canal
and the assumption of its own inter-
est are a small burden to the United
States government compared to the en-
tire annual budget of s1.000,000.000 for
the maintenance of the government,
on ships and tonnage Is not only a
heavy burden to traffic, but means a
loss Of $75,OGOOOO and more each year
in the commerce OF the United States.
"One underlying and important truth
must be admitted by everybody: The
United States is not constructing the
canal to gain revenues from the tolls
on traffic. 1t is building it purely for
commercial and strategic reasons
commercial, to provide new and
short sea trade route between the
Atlantic and Pacific; strategic, to be
able to protect readily and effectively
with it's navy, in case of war. real or
threatened, both Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. Tolls have everything to do
with the commercial phase; they might
seem to have nothing to do with the
strategic phase, but in fact they have
a most direct bearing upon it, because
all nationas would unite in keeping a
free canal neutral, and in condemning
any nation which failed to respect
SuCn neutrality, dLu the OulteO states
might ultimately be relieved of the
great expense Of fortifying the canal
and guarding it with It's army and
navy.
"a free canal. in addition to increas-
ing the commerce Of the United States
in ten years of fifty times the cost of
operation. maintenance and interest,
will accomplish other results. 1t will
absolutely destroy all possibility, in
any shape or manner, Of monopoly in
interoceanic traffic"
