Of Labor Conditions Is

By the Platform Of The Inde-

VIII Seek Passage Of the RIghiito
Work Bill.

London, Feb. l1.-Since the Liberal
party returned to power in 1905. and
particularly since it has depended for
its political life on the support of the
Labor and Nationalists parties, more
legislation of the kind advocated by
trades unions has been enacted than
in any similar period in the history of
the country Still, labor or at least
the Independent Labor party, which
is largely dominated by the Socialists,
is not satisfied and has arranged a
program, which, as last years presi-
dent of the party. Ben Turner, admit
ted contains expectations much greater
than the possibilities.
Mr. Turner said that the party had
not done all that it should have done.
and the tault lay in the fact that it
lacked numerical strength. It's bust
ness now, he added is to make it the
dominating, controlling, guiding and
ruling party in the state. For the i'm
mediate future, the party's platform
contains rlanks looking to the further
Improvement of the conditions of la
Dor; a right to work bill, that is, law
making it obligatory upon the govern
ment to provide work for those desir-
ing it; the abolition of night work as
far as possible; a land policy. which
would place the workers on the land,
until the Naturalization of land has
been accomplished; the nationaliza-
ton of railways and mines. and bills
fol the Improvement of the housing OF
workInen.
The members of the party are begin
ing their efforts to secure legislation
reversing the Osborne judgment,
which ruled that trades unions could
not devote part of their funds to the
support of the labor party.
on the extension of the franchise
there is a wide difference of opinion
among the leaders.

Will Be Observed ON the
Panama Canal.
All Doubt on That Point Is
Now DispeIIed
BY Visit Of Secretary Knox to the
Caribbean Countries.

Washington, Feb. 11.-World- wide
significance attaches to the visit soon
to be made by Sec. Knox, at the d.
rection of the President, to the coun-
tries bordering on the Caribbean sea.
European diplomats, recalling a recent
speech by Mr. Knox before the New
York State Bar Association ON the
Monroe doctrine, look upon the pro-
posed trip with more than a passive
interest. That speech now is being in
terpreted as the latest notice by the
United States that the principle of
America for Americans must be OBJ
served.
Central American diplomats were
unanimous in their statements, to-
night, that the secretary's visit would
not only allay international doubt as
to the attitude of the United states
government toward their countries but
would ward off possible encroaehments
by nations in the other hemisphere.
Particular attention was drawn by
a number of diplomats. discussing
wide circulation now given Secretary
Knox's speech. to those portions in
which he advocated the immediate
adoption of the loan conventions with
Nicaragua and Honduras, now pend
ing in the United States Senate. IT
was pointed out that Mr.. Knox urged
their passage because of the ever
increasing political reason of avoiding
the danger of European ENHANCEMENT
in the affairs of the countries sur
rounding the Caribbean.
1t is understood that aside from the
moral effect that Secretary Knox $
visit may have in removing suspic-
ious of American territorial aggran-
dizement the heads of Various Central
American countries will receive a per
sonal explanation of the hopes of the
United States with reference to the
Panama canal.

Maine doated free of mud, tonight,
when water was turned into the dam
surrounding the wreck. The water
within the dam is now about IA feet

nightfali the wreck will be raised to
the harbor level, leaving nothing more
to be done except to break the dam
and float out the ship.
Water was forced into the dam by
means of a system of pipes fixed at
the bottom of the ship. The power was
supplied by pump recovered from
the wreck. The ship began to rise al

Which had been furnished with a bulk

superior buoyancy than the heavily

tonight the Maine is somewhat down
