Has Bill Before Congress.

DR.. Walker appeared before the Com
mittee on the Judiciary of the House CT
Representatives in Washington on Feb
ruary ID last and advocated a similar
bill. which she succeeded in getting be-
fore Congress.
One Of the first things DR.. Walker
asked the hospital authorities to do after
she arrived was TO notify her close
friend, Mrs Nellie B. Van Slngerland, a
suffragist worker. who lives at Hotel
Gerard, in West 44th street Mrs. Van
Slngerland hurried to the hospital on
Saturday night and has spent much OF
her time with DR.. Walker since then.
DR.. Walker gave her friend the sole
written authority to speak for her to
the press. Mrs. Van Slingerland proudly
showed the note, written in wavering
hand, with DR.. Walkers signature, to a
Tribune reporter in her apartment at
the hotel yesterday. Mrs. Van Singer
land remarked, nth a show Of consider
able emotion, that II might be the last
thing that Dr. Walker would ever write.
Mrs. Van Slingerland said that DR..
Walker was on her way here to deliver
some lectures in the interest OF the Bet
terment League, an organization forme l
TO promote the knowledge Of existing
evils and TO seek their remedies, of
which Mrs Van Slingerland is president
and founder. Two C the principal OBJ
iacts Of the Betterment League is an
anti-death enalty law and anti-mar-
riage laws for detectives and criminals.
Sneaking of DR.. Walker Mrs. Van Slim
gerland said

Tr.ga and other matters that she calls

London. March 1.-THE settlement Of
the coal strike seems not unlikely to in
volve a serious political crisis. The OPP
position in the House of Commons, 1t was
expected, would adopt an attitude OF
benevolent neutrality toward Mr. AS
uuith's minimum wage bill. The Conser-
vative organs. however are beginning to
hint that unless the governments meas
ure proves TO be strong" one such
benevolence cannot be counted on. but
that the Opposition will he free TO treat
the bilkas Il contentious measure.
AS it is practically certain that any
bill acceptable to the Labor party would
he dstasteful to the Conservatives. long
and heated debates may arise before the
government is able to drive the bill
through Parliament. Even If the fate of
the government itself does not become
involved predictions arc being made that
the strike will be ended by disntcgration
and exhaustion before the bill becomes a
law
William j. Thorne. NJ p. for West
Ham. declares that if the strike lasts
six weeks the trade unions of the Coun-
try will he bankrupt The possibility Is
by no means remote that the Labor
mem bers may decide to vote against the
minimum wage bill on its third reading
II they fail TO secure in committee suffi-
cient notifications TO make the measure
acceptable to them, and thus much will
depend upon the attitude OF the Irish
party.
John r. Redmond the Irish Parlia-
mentary leader will undoubtedly be
placed in a difficult position Nearly all
the Labor and Socialist members Of the
House OF Commons are Home Rulers,
whose sympathy he, OF course, desires 10
retain, but ne would almost be COM
PEELED to support the government, seeing
that a coalition Of the Conservatives,
Laborites and Redmondites against the
minimum wage bill would wreck the
government and ruin the chances OF
securing Home Rule.
In a speech delivered last night. YER
non Hartshorn. the Welsh mine leader,
after declaring that compulsory arbitra-
ton would not settle the strike, said:
The outstanding fact is that the work
ers are masters OF the situation. They
have all the power, and II is simply
question as to how they will use II.

AMERICAN CONTROL OF THE

based upon a wholly inadequate

The government OF the United States
will treat all foreign nations equally
and fairly, and will treat its own
citizens precisely as it thinks best.
A similar principle is involved in the
question of f0rtifying the canal. We
had long ago entered upon syste-
matte plan of creating modern coast
defenses. Such a system is ridicu-
lous if the defenses are not located
at the strategic points. The Panama
Canal is, in some respects, our most
strategic piece of naVigable coast
line. II We are terrifying at any
points, it would seem absurd to
leave unfortified the passage by
which navies could go from one
ocean to the other. Furthermore,
an unfortifed canal would be ex-
posed to dynamite outrages which
would render it impossible at time
when it might be necessary to send
