Points Discussed.
Among the points commended and dis
cussed by the commission in its report
are these:
Congress has the constitutional power
to pass this proposed legislation. 1t is
a regulation of interstate and foreign
commerce. 1t does not constitute a de-
NAL of due process. The common law
system of employers liability based upon
negligence is filled with evils and incon-
gruities and wasteful, and 1.-THE greater
proportion of the money paid in salts
ton goes into the pockets of counsel.

OF exorbitant contingent fees. and in va
rious ways is consumed in passing from

the employee of dependent" The pro-
posed statute is not Objectionable be-
cause it includes employees not engaged
in the hazardous part of employment.
The law would be compulsory going into
operation irrespective of the consent of
the employers and employees covered by it.

Considers It Losing Case.
Knox Not to Visit Colombia
Without Special Invitation

Acting Secretary of State Huntington
Wilson has announced that Secretary
Knox will omit Colombia from the timer
airy of his tour of the Central and South
American republics bordering upon the
Caribbean, unlessShe receives special in
vitation from the Colombian government
The acting secretary. in making this an
nouncement, added that he does not think
such an invitation likely.
Referring to the report from Palm
Beach, in yesterdays dispatches, to the
effect that Secretary Knox purposed to
carry out his original plan and would
include Colombia in his tour, Mr.. Wilson
stated that there must be some confusion
in the Interpretation Of Secretary Knox s
statement, on which the dispatches pre-
sumably were based
Acting Secretary Reticent.
Whether or not his prediction that Sec
from the Colombian government was
based on the personal letter of Senior
Pedro Mel Ospina. the acting secretary
admit or deny that the failure of Secre-
tary Knox to visit Colombia is in con-
sequence of the strained relations exist
ing between that country and the United
States since the establishment of the
Republic Of Panama and the acquisition
by this government of the Canal Zone
eight years ago.
He did go so far as to intimate, how
ever, that the State Department feels no
especial concern over any action which
may be taken by the government of Coz
lombia or the action of the Colombian
minister here, and that the department
| is not in the least worked up over the
episode.

Discussed by Cabinet.

President Taft and the members of his
ca binet today discussed the Colombian
situation at some length, but no state
ment was given out as to any phase of
the matter.
Whether it would be dangerous from
the standpoint Of facing an enormous in.
demnity verdict for the United States to
submit to The Hague tribunal the claims
of the republic of Colombia for the Pan
anna canal strip Is question which the
House committee on foreign affairs will
thoroughly consider before making a re-
port to Congress of its; Investigation of
Colombia's claims.
The hearings on the Rainey resolu-
ton urging submission of the dispute
to The Hague continued today and
Henry N. Hall of the New York World
summed up the evidence in the case
which he said tended to prove that for
mer President Roosevelt took the
isthmus in violation of treaty obliga-
tions, that the revolution was fomented
by this country and that Colombia was
entitled to reparatiOn.

Commission Report Unconfirmed.

The State Department also refused to
confirm report which was current last
night to the effect that Secretary Knox
intended to propose the appointment of
commission, consisting of one resident
of Colombia and one citizen of the
United States. to adjust the differences
between the two governments. these
commissioners, in case of a deadlock to
be aided in reaching a decision by the
president of one of the South American
republics. 1t is known that such a prop
ositiOn would be unwelcome to the CO.
lombian government, which has stated
It's preference for another tribunal, sug-
costing The Hague.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-02-20
Henry Hall Questioned.

Chairman sulEer asked Mr.. Hall what
his opinion. and how the dispute should
he settled. The fact that Secretary of
State Knox was trying to settle it direct
ly was discussed. Mr.. Hall declaring that
he did not believe any settlement made
by Colombian and United States arbiters,
with the president of some South Ameri-
can country as referee, would be salts
factory to the Colombian people.
Colombia has good reason to beware
of her own public men," said Hall, and
SO long as The Hague tribunal is in exist
ence the United States and Colombia
ought to be able to settle their differ
ences there satisfactorily. In recent
speech Secretary Knox pointed out that
the United States wanted to see all ma
tons of the world send their differences
to The Hague
How do you account for the fact
them asked Representative Garner of
Texas, that Secretary Knox does not
want to send this dispute with Colombia
to The Hague?
Considers It Losing Case.
Il can well see how there is some heei-
tation on Secretary Knox's part to take
into The Hague this indefensible case He
does not want to go in with losing
case, in which the judges can do nothing
but say that We should pay Colombia the
intrinsic value of the isthmus."
That this would amount to more than
s1OO.OOO.OOO he estimated as a conserva-
tive figure.
'The extreme danger Of an enormous
indemnity being forced upon the coun-
try said Mr.. Hal. lis the only factor
to cause the United States to hesitate
to go to The Hague in this case II the
matter can be settled automatically it
ought to be settled that WAY"

WAIT ON COLOMBIA
Answer to Wilson Note Next
Step in ImbrogIio.
DISCUSSED BIZ CABINET
House Committee Also Continues
Hearing on Panama Strip Affair.
INCLINED TO SUPPORT 0sP1NA
South Americans in Washington Saw
Bogota Will Indorse His Knox
Letter.

| The next step in the interesting set of
| exchanges between the State Department
| and the Colombian legation here will be
the receipt of a cablegram from the
Colombian minister for foreign affairs at
Bogota making formal reply to the note
sent out by Acting Secretary Wilson, in
forming the Colombian government that
it was possible that Secretary Knox might
call at Cartagena on his South and Cen
trail American tour il such a visit would
be welcome.
As stated in the note from Minister
Ospina, in. which he pointed out the in
op portuneness of such a visit, Secretary
Wilson's original note was mailed by the
minister to Bogota. In the ordinary course
that would mean the lapse of about
month at the earliest and perhaps two
months, before the formal reply from the
Columbia government could be received.
1t now appears, however. that the min
lister must have changed his mind on that
point. because it is understood that prac.
tically the text of Mr.. Wilson's original
note was cabled by the minister to Bogo-
ia last Saturday, which makes it probable
that an answer may be expected very
soon.
South American Opinion.
There is little doubt that Mr.. Ospina, in
transmitting the Wilson note, informed
his government of the answer he had
volunteered on his own account, with
such sensational results. In South Amer
lean circles there seems to be a general
impression that the minister unerringly
gagged the public sentiment in Colombia
and consequently will receive the I'M
qualified support of his government in his
attitude.
In that case there would be nothing for
the State Department to do but to omit
any Colombian port from Secretary

Publishers Hope
To End Strike

CHICAGO, May while there was
considerable rioting and the afternoon
continued to encounter diff
culties in distribution, the publishers of
the Chicago morning n afternoon
papers are more optimistic today than at
any time since the beginning of the
strike Of the pressmen, which, spreading
to the stereotypers, delivery wagon driv-
ers and newsboys, has affected the Chi
cage newspapers since Thursday last.
Many n%on-union pressmen and stereo-
typers have reached the city from the
East and other points, thus helping to
clear the situation from the publishers
point of view.
At a conference held last night be
tween President Freel, of the Interna-
tional Stereotypers' Union, and represen-
tatives of the Chicago publishers, Mr..
Freel admitted that the local union was
at fault in striking. He asked for and
obtained twenty-four hours in which 70
answer the demand of the publishers that
the charter of the local union be re-
voked and a new union formed.
