Trouble of Slow Growth.
Conditions which have led to this dras-
tic movement by the American govern
ment have been of slow growth. and II
was only within the past fortnight that
thev have become so acute that active
intervention by a naval force was oeem-
ed necessary. For many months a rev.
olutionary movement has been In prog
ress in the northern part OIL sa'ilo
Domingo and on the western boundary
of that country.
IT is understood that the moving splr-
its were members of previous admins
trations which had come to untimeiv
ends through assassinations or revolu-
tons, prominent among them being Gen.
Horatio vasquez and Demetrio Arias.
Several battles have been fought De

Used to Prevent Smuggling.

So the action of the rebels in closing up
the border custom houses was of direct
interest to the United States. The re-
ceipts from those particular custom
houses were small-infact, they were
maintained principally to prevent SNUG
Cling. At each of the four places an
American collector was installed with a
force of native assistants, but recently,
in difference to strong home RUE
sentiment, the insular bureau has per-
mitted native DomtnlcanS 10 replace the
American officials.
The closing of these custom houses.
though only directly affecting the total
revenues to a small extent, 1t is held,
may soon have a very injurious erect
upon them because of the loss that will
result through the great increase OF
smuggling across the boundary of goods
that would otherwise pay duty at the
Dominican seaports. That possibility has
been considered as warranting the United
States government in reopenlng these
custom houses by force If necessary.
May Not Have to Land Marines.
It is the belief OF the officials, however,
that when made aware of the determine
ton of the United States government the
rebels will offer no resistance and that it
NAV even be found unnecessary to disem-
ba rk the marines at Santo Domingo. But
if there should be any sign of resistance
these marines will be landed on the north
and south coasts and marched directly
inland over the wagon roads and trails,
for there are no railroads in that section
to the custom houses.
Besides the marine force which will go
on the Prairie. perhaps $50 men, blue
Jackets and marines. may be taken from
the gunboat Wheeling in case of need,
and it is said at the Navy Department
that more naval vessels will be sent to
Dominican waters at any moment the
President may desire.

Haitians Backing Revolution?

It has been charged by some Domini-
cans that the revolution actually was
fostered and supported by the Haitians.
The factor that determined the United
States to intervene, however, was the
closing by therebels of the custom
houses on the boundary between Haiti
and the Dominican republic.
Under the Dawson treaty of 1907 the
United States became responsible for the
collection Of the customs dues or Santo
Domingo, the proceeds being divided, a
portion going to meet the expenses or
maintaining the Dominican government
and the remainder to the settlement OF
the outstanding foreign Indebtedness OF
the country.
Under that system satisfactory results
have been obtained, every obligation of
the debt being met upon falling due, ample
funds being provided for the support OF
the government, and substantial accu-
mutations being made on account OF the
sinking fund. Never before have the
finances of the republic been so flourish

WOOLEN TRUSTS
 NEW WEAPON
How it Protects" American WOrkingmen Against Cheap Labor of Europe
8y Arthur West.) Especial Correspondence.) )

| Washington, Feb. 2S-The woolen trust has found a new weapon. This monopoly, having found that bayonets would not compel its $6 a week work CTS to call off their strike, has hit up- on an entirely new plan.
 The trust now proposes to- utilize the hunger of little children as a club to force the parents of those children to give up their strike. Here is how they are working the new scheme: Many charitable organizations in cities adjacent to Lawrence, where the strike is in progress, after reading of the desperate straits to which the strikers children had been reduced, made arrang gements to have hundreds vate homes outside of Lawrence until the strike ended Under this plan, many children were sent away, some to New York and Boston, and some as far away as Philadelphia.
 With the knowledge that their chill dren were being cared for tenderly, renee gained courage to carry on the fight. Freed from hearing their own children crying for bread, the strik- CTS took renewed hope.
 What happened? The trust mag mates, realizing that if all the little children were sent away from Law renee the strikers cou'd longer endure the struggle, at once issued orders to ders to put a stop to the deportation of children. They knew that where bayonets, persecution, unlawful inn prisonment, and all other ordinary weapons of big corporations in fighting the un' 'ons mi ght fail, there remained one thing which the strikers could not long resist, and that was; the cry of their own children for food. These mi lionaireS knew that where strong men and women could suffer in silence themselves, they could not long bear to see their children suffer
 Accordingly, there was issued an edict against sending the children away where they could obtain food. Immediately a squad of state soldiers was sent to each railroad station and when the strikers arrived with their children many of them were seized and thrown into Jail.
 Diabolical as this may seem it ac- tuaIly is being done, not in Russia, but right here in these United States
 The wooden trust, be it remembered, had its agents at Washington when the tariff was being revised, and these agents told the law makers that the reason the trust wanted a high tariff was because Of it's desire to protect American workingmen against the cheap labor of Europe. This is the trust that makes millions of dollars annually in profits on stock that is watered until it is soggy. It is the same trust which is first to demand a hearing at Washing gtOn whenever there is tariff revision, and which refuses steadfastly to listen to the plea of its men for a conference to talk over wage differences.

GOVERNMENT
 IS READY TO
 TRY STEEL SUIT
Especial from United Press.) )

New York, Feb. 2s-Readiness of the government for trial of its suit to dissolve the steel trust was announce ed. today, by Judge Dickinson gov ernment prosecutor. He said tTie gov- ernment's reply to the steel trusts answer, putting the case finally at issue, will be filed at Trenton, by Friday. The government reply is purely formal and merely closes the pleadingS in the case.
 After the governments last pleading is filed, the court will appoint an ex- aminer to take testimony. When the first witness will be called is left for the trial judge after a conference with the Federal and trust counsel.
 The governments dragnet for wit nesses was thrown out. today, in anti cipation of an early trial. Orders to subpoena steel men from Cleveland, Indianapolis. Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Minnesota were prepared.
 Judge Dickinson says the govern ment's application to enjoin destruc- tion by the steel trust of valuable pa pers needed in the trust busting suit is separate controversy to be threshed in the Federal court of New Jersey at some later date.

WeinStein Case Settled In City
 Court At Lasl

Jacob weinstein. of 34 Wallace St.. was fined $50 and costs in the city court this morning for slaughterin9 "bob veaI' last November. Another charge against him, that of having slaughtered without a permit from the Health Board, was nolled.
 Attorney Joshua Meltzer, counsel for Wefnstein. first contested the case on the ground that the statute under which Weinstein was arrested was un- constitutional. There is strong reason to believe that this claim would have been upheld, had it been taken to the higher courts. but Judge Foster in the city court refused to pass upon the constitutionality question, believing that to be matter for an upper tri- bunal.
 An appeal was not taken from the city courts decision today, as the fine would not justify the expense of an appeal and in the event of the appeal being upheld, Connecticut would be left for year without "bob veaP' law.
