PANAMA HOPEFUL
OF BECOMING
RICH
LITTLE REPUBLIC WILL TRY TO
TO BECOME THE STORE
HOUSE OF THE WORLD

Panama, April S.The isthmus oi
Panama is not only to become a gate
way for the worlds shipping but a
great sorehouse for the goods of all
nations, according to the hopes OF the
Panama republic.
The plan to make Panama City and
Colon free ports of entry for the mer-
chandise of the world Is being drawn
up for introduction to the next gen
eral assembly, which meets in Sep
tember, and the government antici-
pates no serious opposition.
The secretary Of foreign affairs,
Ernesto LIE Fevre, declares that un-
der the free port plan Panama and
Colon would become great wholesale
markets, and merchants, especially
from Central and South America
would come here to do their buiying
from the stocks and samples brought
here by the merchants and manufac-
turers of the United States and Eu-
rope
There now is collected by Panama
an import duty Of is per cent on all
merchandise entering the country.
An annual revenue Of about $4,000, 900
is thus derived In order to make up
this deficit other sources of revenue
will have to be found, and this, the
authorities declare, can be done,
In connection with the opening Of
the two ports it is planned by the
Panama authorities to erect large
warehouses at both ends Of the canal
and they already have entered into
negotiations with the Panama Rail-
road company for permission to erect
one at Colon on the waterfront own
ed by the railroad Opposition may
be Forthcoming for the reason that
the company is planning to build and
operate bonded warehouses on canal
zone territory.

During the last few months several
revolutionary juntas have been in ac-
tive operation here.
A hotel fronting on the delightful
Plaza Central has come to be regard
ed the headquarters of former citi-
zens Of Central and South American
countries, and they are allowed TO
talk revolution as much as they please
but no filibustering is permitted.
The revolution in Ecuador which
has just about collapsed with the re-
cent evacuation of Las Bsmeraldas by
Colonel Concha, the rebel leader, aand
his less than 1000 followers, was fos-
tered and given financial aid by a
junta in Panama.
The Peruvian junta was a little
more successful in its efrorts to over
throw a government and the revolu-
tion of day probably will go down
as the shortest on record. Former
President BiIlingshurst is stopping in
Panama awaiting the arrival of the
other members Of his family when he
expects to return to Peru or else
make his future home in Chile where
the original Latin-American Billing
hurst first settled.
The Peruvian junta disbanded after
having accomplished its purpose. Its
members remained mere long enough
TO welcome Vice President Roberto
Leguia on his arrival in Panama.

Coal Strike Costs
State $l5,OO0,0OO

COlrado'S great coal strike began
September %, 1913, and at the end
of seven months the cost to the State
in real money is estimated in round
numbers at $15,OOO,O0O. In addition
scores of lives have been lost, much
suffering endured by strikers and their
families and the industrial advance
ment of the State retarded fifteen
years, all because Gov. Ammons re-
fuses to enforce the State mining laws
and turned the militia over to the coal
operators to make war on organized
labor. In doing this eh has also i'm
posed an additional tax burden upon
the people of $1,000,0 900, which with
accrued interest may reach 100000
membered the Peabody war, which
cost less money, still remains unpaid
and now amounts to something over
81 100000 Peabody is now an outcast
in his home town of Canon City and
God only knows where .Amnons will
dwell in future with his guilty con
science.
Four interests only are represented
IN arriving at the total visible cost,
whereas thes trike has affected every
branch of business to more or less eX-
,ent. The cost to the miners in bene-
its and lost wages during the seven
months ending April % was $o,471,-
200; State government, so far as
checked up by State Auditor Kenehan,
1925 900; coal companies, loss of prof
its, $3,928,OOO; railroads, $4,64O,00O.
| This does not include the loss in

who were laid, off when coal trains
were annulled.
Direct strike benefits have been paid
through the district headquarters in
Denver amounting to $1,217,000 Sup
plies transportation to members seek
ing work in other states, maintaining
tent colonies, ETC., has cost many thou
sand dollars morI At the present
time 10000 men are on the strike
benefit list. The loss to the railroads,
with an average charge of 81 per ton
for hauling coal, has been enormous,
the shortage being placed at 4,640, 900
tons.
| With all the state militia giving
protection to rike-breakers and
agtnts of coal companies securing the
country for men, the output is now
less than so per cent of normal, as
shown by reports of State Coal Mine
Inspector Dalrymple. Another item OF
expense not included in the total
above given is the pay of SO a day to
1000 gunner, most of them appointe =
deputies by Sheriff Grisham in Las
Animas County and Sheriff Jeff Far1
in Huerfano, who remained on the
company pay roll after the troops were
recalled last week. There is one
guard for every two coal diggers- in
the strike zone, which makes. it q
very expensive proposition for the
coal companies.
| While the states actual expenses
have been curtailed to a minimum
through recall of the militia, that OF
the coal companies vii be increased
by hiring of more mine guards; and
the railroads will continue to lose un-
til the union men are againt at work
and the output of coal becomes nor,
