PHILLY MAY HAVE GENERAL
STRIKE OF UNION WORKERS
Philadelphia, Dec. 13.-It is ex-
pected a resolution calling for a gen.
eral strike of union workers will be
introduced at the meeting of the Cen
trail Labor Union Sunday, as a pro-
test against the attitude of the gar
ment manufacturers toward the
striking garment workers.
Pres. Cronin of the G. L. U. says
labor unions all over the city are
clamoring for a general strike, be-
cause the garment manufacturers
have refused to arbitrate or consider
the workers grievances. I'VE are in
position" he said, ito call out $780,

ARBITRATION REFUSED BY
CALUMET OPERATORS

CALUME >OFEkH OKS
Calumet, Mich, Dec. 13.-(Spe-
cial. 1.-The proposition submitted to
the operators yesterday was one Of
arbitration Of the dispute here. The
men on strike agreed that the oper-
ators might select two representa-
tives, the men on strike two who are
not members of the unions or the
Western Federation, and the presi-
dent of the United or the governor of
Michigan one; that the entire matter
in dispute be submitted to this board
of arbitration, the striking miners re-
turning to work Immediately; both
sides to be bound by the finding of
the board.
This has been refused by the oper-
ators. At the great peace mass meet
ing of the Citizens Alliance this same
proposition sent over to the chairman
by President Meyer was not read.
Would it not have been better than
invective against the Western Fed

About 7 o'clock this morning just
as the federation's commissionaTy
store was opening a crowd of about
one thousand citizens and deputies
appeared in front of the store. The
village constable of Laurium, an adj

with two drawn pistols. The Office
was entered, drawers and desk open

INSPECTOR M'GEE DENIES

In discussing the lack of cooperation
among tho guardians OF the law who
are seeking 10 capture the ogden black
hand gang, The Tribune quoted Postal
Inspector McGee as saying, "The
reason that we did not let the police
and sheriff in on our plans was to pre-
vent leaks
Inspector McGee informs US that he
was misquoted. The words were taken
from purported interview with the
inspector printed in a morning con-
temporary. 1t was perhaps a mistake
not to observe the usual rule of seek
ing 10 verify before using anything
from the journal referred to, but we are
glad to print the Inspector IS denial, and
douby glad that he did not make the
statement ascribed to him. As The
Tribune pointed out, the plain implica-
tion was that the police and some Of
the sherif''s subordinates were III
league with the blackmailers, and we
added that TINS was inconceivable.

among the law s guardians can the cum

very souls of the foreigners who come
in vast numbers TO live among us. We
find many admirable traits in all OF
them Prciudices arc rapidly worn
away, and as the various nationalities
become accustomed To our laws and
ways of living they fraternize on terms
OF equality aud intimate friendship
with the nativcform.
When an ocean divides two peoples
they are able 10 conjure up host OF

and then condemn this strange creature

to know each other the preiudiccs

German people as the result of immi-

Empire are still relying upon their
imaginations TO picture forth the Amer

England and America united in an
effort to control commerce in those re-
gions where the German people are
anxious to extend their business opera
tlons. Moreover, they see the English
and Americans as possible allios IN any
conflict that may rise between Great
Britain and Germany. In other words,
the German is looking at US from his
national viewpoint. 1t is impossible for
him TO take the cosmopolitan view
which has become habitual in this coun-
try. The result is that tho Kaiser s
subjects are constantly picturing this
country as foe, whereas, in fact, the
Americans insist on being friends Of
the German people.
1t is about time for those who seek
TO mold public opinion in Germany to
sweep the cobwebs from their eyes, to
shake Off the spirit of pessimism and
bitterness and to understand that the
American people desire to be their
friends, and regret to see a great ma
tion controlled by such narrow and such
wholly unworthy impulses.

The Second French
Republic
By REV. T. B. GREGORY,

Sixty-five years ago today witnessed
the solemn promulgation Of the cousti-
tuition Of the second French republic.
France means Frank, Frank means
Free, and from the beginning of their
history the name has well befitted the
people. The French have ever been
great lovers Of liberty. Much tyranny
has been practiced upon French soil,
and times without number the French
people have been the instrumentality
Of much oppression to other peoples;
but the blame for it lay not with the
people themselves but with the power
full and unprincipled men who, for the
time being, held the bit of government
in their teeth and, contrary TO the act.
ual wish OF the people, carried them OIL
in the mad race for power and pelf.
BY natural instinct the French have
always believed IN and loved freedom.
and as often as they have had the
chance they have so declared.
The first Republic born Of the hell

by the mighty Corsican, and it was

the second republic,

stood, Fronchmen were once more
robbed of the realization of their darl-
ing dream. The second republic be-
came the empire again, and for eight
cen years tho Man on Horseback -
tore around about as he pleased. Then
came the terrible humiliation OF 1870,
and with it the birth of the third re-
public, which has every promise of be-
ing permanent.
Always intelligent by nature, the
French people have, since 1870, become
educated, made wise 10 the facts OF
history; and the power that is born of
knowledge will enable them to steer
clear in the future OF any repetition
of the old-time mistakes. The French
are free, and they intend to remain
free. Never again, we may be sure,
will France become a monarchy. New

public is immortal

GERMAN CRITICISMS.

For months the German journals have
been filed with sneers at Americans
and wrathful criticisms Of our political
methods and international policies. This
spirit of bitterness has ebbed and
flowed in Germany since the Spanish
American war. Sentiment in Germany
and all over Europe at that time was
unfriendly TO the United States, and
the Germans became all the more irri-
tated when they read the story which
went around the world shortly after the
battle of Manila Bay 10 the effect that
Admiral Dewey had told the German
Admiral at Manila to get out of his
way or take the consequences.
This feeling throughout the German
empire is all the more singular because
nothing Of the kind exists in this coun
try. Americans have entertained the
friendliest feeling toward the German
people ever since the first tide of Teu
tonic settlement turned this way. When
ever we refer TO tho races that have
done the most TO settle and develop thi,
country the Germans are placed ueai

and tho Germans in the United State.

LLOYD-GEORGE'S LAND BILL.

The average American idea Of
England is country where everything
moves so slowly that live American
snail would quickly violate the speed
limit. The British for many generations
have been conservative. Conditions
have made them great business ma
ton and, with the development of
business. the citizens of the country
have acquired the conservatism that
success.
Britons, however, are capable Of
speed outbursts. Parliament during
the last few years has afforded several
instances of action so radical as to as
tound even the most liberal of Ameri-
cans In this radical movement, Lloyd
George has been the principal figure,
and he has but lately added a new
feature to his social reform campaign
in The form of bill which is designed,
as he says, to increase farm products,
to attract people to the soil and to keep
them there, and at the same time en-
able the farm laborer ultimately to be-
come land owner.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer re-
Gently made speech, in which ne out
lined the extent of his programme. It
is TO establish Ministry of Land
which will have supervision Of all
questions relating to the use Of land
whether urban or rural. Land com
missioners arc provided for, who Will
have judicial functions. They Will
have the right TO reduce rents, when
a showing is made TO them that the
rental is higher than is possible for
the tenant 10 pay and at the same time
maintain himself.
Another feature in prospect is the
acquisition by the Ministry OF all
waste and neglected lands, which, it is
planned, will be planted and reclaimed.
Such Of tue lands as can be used for
crops will be leased for that purpose.
or sold 10 small farmers, while other
lands will he forestcd.
Another feature Of the proposed bill
is the establishment of minimum
wage for farm laborers. The Ministry,
through its anpointed commissioners.
will have the right of supervision Of
the houses set apart for laborers. and
have the power TO fix the wages which
must he paid To them. Tn his speech
Chancellor Lloyd-Georgc said that the
government intended to construct
model cottages TO serve as n remedy
for the present deficiencies

the forced purchase Of lands when de-
sired by the government. and for the
sale Of them n reasonable prices TO

a striking feature brought out in the
annual report Just issued by President
Nicholas Murray Butler Of Columbia
university is what President Butler
calls "the literally stupendous change
in the relation between the university
and the public which has been brought
about since the reorganization Of 1890
and the prosecution of the policies Of
expansion and new activity then formu-
lated. - This change is amply demon
strated by the fact that the gifts re-
ceived by Columbia from 1854 to 1890,
a period of 1856 years, did not exceed
in value $200,000 During the admins
tration of President Low (1S90-190I),
the sum of $5,4G0,000 was received by
the institutions that make up Columbia
university; and during the administra-
tion of President Butler $50, 100000 has
been added by gift from several hun
dred different persons.

THE MILLIONAIRE VISITORS,

The presence in Salt Lake City OF
eighteen millionaires who came here TO
hold q conference about the develop
ment of the iron and coal resources OF
Utah and the entire Western country,
is brilliant prophecy For many
wears Utahns have been aware that
their State contained sufficient iron and
coal to supply the world for hundreds
of years. Nor has this information
been entirely confined TO the in
habitants Of the State. Utah fame
in this regard has long been known
among the iron and steel men of the
East, and now we are led TO believe
that in England and on the continent
Of Europe the iron resources of Utah
are looked upon TO supply the needs or
the world in the not remote future
Tho captains of industry who have
met here in the commercial capital or
the Western country to discuss the fu-
ture of the region have not disclosed
all their plans, but enough has been
made public TO assure us that they and
their associates are preparing to take
full advantage Of the marvellous
changes which the Panama Canal will
bring about in the Western States.
With a few large strokes Of the brush,
so to speak, they have given us
glimpse of possibilities that make us
gasp, in spite of the fact that writer's
and orators who have understood the
West have been predicting for half
century that the region from the east
ern slope of the Rocky Mountains TO
the Pacific coast would be the richest
aud most prosperous portion Of the
United States.
While most Of us have been content
to dream about the effects of canal
across the Isthmus of Panama, fnan-
ciers all over the world have been
preparing 10 take advantage of the
canal. With the practical wisdom that
such men possess they have directed
their attention unerringly to those parts
of the globe that are certain 30 profit
the most abundantly by the shifting of
the world 5 center o. commercial
gravity. We can see that these
tnsnciers have been watching Utah
and the Pacific slope from the time
the Panama Canal was started, and
that they now possess exhaustive in
formation and data with reference to
the resources, the present anal future
transportation facilities, and the manu-
featuring possibilities of the western
part Of the United States. Possessing
this knowledge, these gentlemen an
doubtedly could tell us with compara
tive accuracy how soon 10 expect the
establishment Of big business enter
prises But even If they leave US in
doubt we may be sure that the begin
ning OF a vast development is prac-
,iealIy nj hand. Many years will pass,
10 doubt, before the West will be
operating at full capacity. Some of us
may live to see this consummation, of
which we can form the brightest dreams
at this time with certainty that even
our dreams viii be eelipsed by the
reality.
There is 10 he no backward step.
From this time forward the history of
the West will be the history Of unfail-
ing progress and prosperity.
