BISHOP Greer 68 TODAY
csurchman Talks of Relations
8etween Capital and Labor.
roRESEES BETTER TIMES
cood Sign, lie Says, Is That
Zach Side Now Knows What
the Other Wants,

,,...r seen at his home yesterday, at No.
rronercv Park, Bishop Greer expressed.
'.n.,5erable surprise that any one should
=. Interested in the fact that to-day he
nd be slxty-eight years old.
20, pshaw" he cried, with a show at
,.,og nut out, although his eyes twinkled
,,o1 natyredly enough, why do you want
g advs,tise the fact that am such an ole
~ don't know anything worth say
-, about the year just passed"
I.i vas suggested to the Bishop that the
.,.a.slghth year Of his life had witnessed
-coA deal Of Industrial disturbance, and
49,, his opinions on the relations of cap
-, end labor would be Of considerable
public interest
~ has been a lively year in the way of
,.hor disputes" he declared. But l am
-,i-,ist'c about it-when there is the most
cismor about anything that is the best
,lqn that people are thinking about it and
,bst It will be bettered.
II, has been a critical year in the rela-
lions Of capital and labor, in my opinion.
, sSould like TO have time to write a care
al paoer on the subject TO make my
,tougbts perfectly clear-it Is hard to give
o,fband opinions without being misunder-
.,ood. But l should say that l think the
,asr lust passed has resulted in this: II
has made the issue between the two op-
poslng interests perfectly clear Both
,ides know now iust exactly what the 9TH
ers want
"Do Won mean by that It has become q
elssr cut class issue?' he was asked.
No, ] Go not think it is & class issue.
II is purely business issue; both sides are
bargaining for the best terms they can
get as a business matter And the whole
p,oblem will be cleared UP more readily
as soon as people begin to talk less about
their rights and 10 think more about their
duties"
In regard to the strike at Lawrence the
Bishop refused 10 comment.
q would not give an opinion on that;
do not know enough about it of my own
knowledge" he said. But in general
should say that these troubles, whether
they are purely business or class war
fare, will never be adequately solved
unless a religious sentiment enters into
the dealings Of men.
u think a background OF religious be-
lief and faith in immortality is necessary.
! do not mean by immortality the idea OF
a future realm where reward awaits us
for which we bargain here by good beha-
yior mean Immortality in a broader
sense: In the sense that this life on earth
Is not ALL that it is part Of far greater
fe. If men do not see life in this broader
relationship 10 something higher, why they
simply grab for all they can get on this
earth as the day presents itself, without
thought of the morrow"

BIG CONTRACT
CANAL PROJECTS
Enormous Amount Of Steel
work Ordered.
HUGE coALING STATIONS.
Isthmian Canal Commission Has Be.
gun Execution OF lts Extensive
Plans For the Operation OF
the Panama Canal.

Washington Beginning the execu
ton Of its extensive plans for the per
manent projects for the operation OF
the Panama Canal, the Canal Commits
sion has awarded a contract to the
United States Steel Products Com.
pany for 100000 pounds of struc-
tural steel work, to cost about $40,
600.
The Commissions plans are for
works seperate entirely from the canal
construction, and include all the facili-
ties that the government is to pro
vide for the repair Of ships, the up
keep of the vast canal machinery it.
self, the handling of coal and liquid
fuel for shipping and permanent Office
buildings and accommodations for the
small army Of employees which will be
required to operate the canal. There
will be q large force of clerks and
engineers under permanent employ
ment.
The present contract covers ma
chine shops, forge shops, steel stor-
age sheds, paint and car shops, plan
ing mills, foundries, coke sheds, boil
erhouses, roundhouses and gashouses.
This is only the beginning. Among
the other facilities to be supplied are
1,O00-foot piers for commercial use at
Balboa, two wharves and one pier at
5Christobal, besides mole and break
water, to he followed by four other
piers should the traffic justify It..
There will be great drydock at Bal
boa, 1000 feet long, capable of ac-
communicating any vessel that could
pass through the canal locks. This
will be on rock foundation. built of
concrete. A smaller drydock, at Bal
boa, WIN handle vessels up to $50 feet
in length.
Az the government is going into the
business Of supplying merchant yes
sells with fuel, water and other sup
plies. the Commission, according to
tho Canal Record, plans to locate the
main coaling plant on the Atlantic
side, capable Of handling and storing
100000 tons Of coal. one-han OF which
will be kept under water, where it has
contents. There win be a lesser coal
ing plant on the Pacific side, at Bal
boa. capable of storing 100, 600 tons of
coal under and above water. In
recognition of the rapid substitution
of oil for coal as q marine fuel. the
Commission has planned to erect four
steel tanks, OF 10000 barrels capacity
each, and contracts already have been
placed for their construction.
The main repair shops for merchant
vessels will be located at Balboa
They will be on large scale, cover
ing ground space Of $4,000 square
feet. As far as possible the present
will be utilized in the new
shops One item of equipment, pecu-.
liar to the canal, will be one or. two
powerful floating cranes, capable OF
handling the giant steel lock gates of
the canal when repairs are needed

THE BALKAN WAR.

The Turkish Ambassador to the
United States says his country can
mobilize q new army in Asia Minor
smightier than the one now pitted
against allies.
The correspondent of the London
Chronicle, in writing of the battle OF
Thrace, says it was a terrible and ap-
palling defeat for the Turks, followed
by rout for which there is scarcely
q parallel in history.
A wireless message from q foreign
warship at Saloniki says that the
Turkish army, which was defeated at
Yenidje, about II miles from Saloniki,
has reached that city in complete dis
order.
The appeal Of Turkey for an ar
mistice made to the powers has been
denied. and the fall OF Constantinople
is expected in . few dasss

troops numbering 1850, chiefly Ar

it to take the initiative in bringing
about an intervention of thef powers
to stop hostilities and impose an ar

London. More than 100000 men
have fallen in the ferocious conflicts
before Adrianople and Constantinople.
In the five days engagement along
the line between Lule Burgas and
Bunarhissar the Bulgarians, it was
officially announced, lost $4,000 men
killed or wounded. The Turkish cas-
ualties exceeded 10000.
The Turkish garrison, it is reported,
has been withdrawn from Salonika,
after destroying a number Of bridges
forming the approaches to the city.
The American High School for
Girls at Scutari, on the Asia Minor
side of the Bosphorus, has sent it's
scholars of Bulgarian nationality on
board one of the British cruisers now
at Constantinople, owing to fears for
their safety. The occupation Of the
Port OF San Giovanni di Modua, on the
Adriatic Sea. as well as of the cities
of Alessio and Jakova by the Monte
negrin troops is confirmed.

crushing defeats and that has been
rendered, it is believed in military cir
cles, incapable of making any sus-
tanned defense against a vigorous as
sault. Some villages in the vicinity
of this last line of defense are report
ed already in the hands of the Bull
garians.
Preparations are being made for the
protection Of the menaced population,
of Constantinople. and at the request
of the foreign ambassadors entrench-
ments. have been thrown up at San
Stefano and at Kiatkane so that IL the
rout that occurred after the previous
battles should be repeated, the mob of
fleeing soldiery can be checked.
Should matters become more threat.
ening in the Turkish capital the fleets
OF the powers may force the Darda-
nelles, in which case there would be,
5000 men available for landing with
possible endorsements from the Rus
sian feet in the Black Sea.
It is officially announced that the
port Of Rodosto, on the Sea Of Mar
mona and the city of Visa, southeast
of Adrianople, were occupied by the
Bulgarian troops on November 5.
