Panama, April 1S-Much opposi- ton to reductions in the wage scale of skilled labor on the canal has arisen since the new scale was pro- mulgated on Feb. 2, to become opera tive April 1, when the permane government Of the, Panama Canal went into effect.
 The skilled workers have been in communication with the parent un- ions in the United States with the re- suit that the Metal Trades Depart ment of the American Federation of Labor has instructed the unions on the Isthmus to immediately begin the formation of a Metal Trades Council in Panama. Several meetings all ready have been held at which strong opposition to any wage reduction was voiced.
 Under the. terms of the Adamson act establishing the permanent gov Kernment of the Panama Canal 1t is provided that no one on the canal force shall be paid more than 25 per cent. in excess of the average wage for similar work paid in the United States. In conformity with this pro- vision Col: George w. Goethals. gov ernor of the Panama Canal, issued a circular establishing new wage scale. This provided for considerable reductions all along the line.
 It is understood here that Col Goe- thals personally favors the continua-
 
 the period of construction shall have been ended. If this is done the re- auctions will become effective grad ua1ly and not until after the con struction of the canal has been fully Bcompleted.
 sented on the isthmus, 1t is under stood, have communicated or will communicate with their parent orr ganizations with the view of obtain ing strike sanction. It is not the inn me diate intention, according to labor leaders here, to make use of the strike weapon to force the continua- ton of the present scale, but only in an emergency of such character as to make it's use necessity.
 It is not anticipated that any oppo- sition to the new wage scale will come from the numerous clerks and other unorganized employees on the canal force. As yet no active oppo- sition has appeared among them, all though it is said that many of them contemplate reslghing and returning to the States and seeking other em- p1oyment This class of emp1oye in any event will suffer Considerable shrinkage through the gradual reduc- ton in force made necessary by the completion of construction work. A serious problem also confronts the aulnoF1IleS ols the. Sahai zone and the Republic of Panama because of the increasing number of unern- ployed men.
 Within the last year many thous- ands of unshilled canal workers havo been thrown upon their own resour- ces because there was no more work | for them. In almost every case they have saved no money for rainy day. The result has been an increasing amount of lawlessnesss running par ticularly into the line of petty bur glaries.

PANAMA WORKMEN PROTEST
 PROPOSED CUT IN WAGE SCALE
Laborers Apply Parent States For Permission Strike-Problem of Unemployed Be- Serious One to Police of Canal Zone.

For unslkilIed labor there is now absolutely no demand either on the Isthmus, the outlying provinces Of the republic or the neighboring repub- 1 lies of Central and South America. The proposed government railway in the Province of Chirique is expected to afford some relief, but the hope of l it's early start is not at all bright here. There is little or no other construc ton work in progress. Public work, with the exception of the National Exposition, practically is at stand still. On the Zone the roads are be- ing constructed by the prisoners in the penitentiary. This also is the case l in the Panama Republic.
 Both Panama, City and Colon, the two most important cities in the Pan anna Republic, are filled with idle ne- groes who are looked upon as more or less of a menace by the two police forces. The Panamanian authorities Esay that the problem is one for solu- ton by the canal government The question of the unemployed Ja- maican negro is simple. When he left his native shore to come to Pana- ma to work on the canal he was com pelIed to deposit $6 for his return Many of them, however, do not wish to return for the reason that they are now accustomed to larger wages than they have ever been able iL say, the island is already overpopu- lated.
 The question of higher wages and over-popu1ation also is true of the other West Indian islands. Then, too, there is at present little or no demand for this class of labor in any of the West Indies with the possible excep- ton of Cuba and Porto Rico, accord ing to information here.
 It is anticipated that the entire isquestion probably will have to be submitted to the governments of the l 1aborers came.

Judge Grubb is in many respect remarkable man
and who has played a conspicuous part in the
social, professional judicial and political history Of
our state Although he was born at Grubbs Landing
Delaware April 12 1S41, and is, therefore, in his
7Sd year his mind keen and his interest in the
worlds affairs is as acute It years ago when
he was at the bar or on the bench 1t has been said
that man is oniy as old he feels. The fact that
the judge purposes making the trip to Brazil alone
and that he forward It with delight shows that
he still regards himself as being comparatively
young
Judge Grubb is a son Of Wellington and Caroline
Allmand Grubb. He has resided in Wilmington since
lS49. After he had received classical education he
admitted TO the Delaware bar in 1862 The dis
tngushng features of his public have been as

1893, associate udgeaarge of the Supreme Court or
Delaware from 1897 to 1909 retired on June 15 1909
That reveals in tabloid FORM the active professional

which book he wrote in 1896.
AS conversationast Judge Grubb has few equals

ENGLISH SHOES FOR AMERICAN FEET

the issue Of the Daily Consular and Trade Reports
for last Monday find interesting report on
shoes that should be with careful consideration
by Americans. The daily reports are issued by the
Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the
Department Of Commerce. The report to which we
make special reference is from Consul Samuel NJ Tay-
lor, who is stationed in Nottingham England It is
entitled Higher Prices for Shoes in England and is
follows:
In The last three months retailers OF boots and shoes
have advanced the prices certain grades as much as
nifty cents per pair. The heavier grades the ones
most affected. Shoes that sell for $3.50 formerly
sold for S4 The retailers state that increased cost Of
raw materials Is the reason, and that either the price
had 70 be advanced else the quality had to be cheap
ened There have been some wage increases but these
are slight Exports Of leather to the United States SO
far as this district is concerned increasing while
the exports Of skins both calf and salted sheep are
declining. Exporters Of hides explain this by SAYING
that the removal Of the duty manufactured leather
gives an advantage to the British leather manufac-
turer over American manufacturers in competitive
prices and the increase in American increases the
demand for skins here, with corresponding decrease
in the demand for skins in the United States.
We think that TO most persons that consular report
issued by the Wilson administration will constitute
another contribution to the already large mass of Off
cia and unofficial evidence OF the great harm hct is be-
ing done to American industries and wage-earners by
the Underwood tariff
