Car Strikers
Enjoiine!d

Wilkes Barre, Pa, Jan. 12.-By ap-
peafing to Judge Woodward for an IN
junction. the Traction company has
confessed that its imported gunner
and thugs have failed to break a three
monfhs' strike of motormen, condue-
tors and other employees. :.
The court has granted the request
and has issued the usual anti-strlke
order, which cleverly intertWines
prohibition. of unlawful acts with
sweeping denials of constitutional
guarantees.
The strike started Oct. IA. Prior to
that time the employees demanded
wage increases and the matter was
referred to arbitration. The board re-
ported in favor of a socalled pfoIt-
sharing" system. The employees rep
resentative dissented from this deci-
sion ON the ground that such q r'lie
was outside the province of the board,
and that it was created for a specinc
purpose. The company accepted the
decision and proceeded to enforce q
"sliding SCALE" which, in some cases,
meant a reduction in wages. Then
state Commissioner Of Labor Jackson.
fine third member Of the board, asked
the company to reopen the case. This
was refused and the men suspended
work.

Congress Convened

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 12.-The
sixty-fourth congress convened last
Tuesday, following the holiday recess.
One lot the first questions of interest
to the workers that will be considered
is tn eprinting of the report Of the
commission on industrial relations
When this report was presented to
tie house, Congressman Lewis, chair
man Of the house committee on laboi
attempted to secure authorization for
the printing of 10000 copies of all
evidence taken by the commission and
200, 600 copies of the recommendations
of the various groups on the commits
sion. It was voted, however, to refer
The matter to the committee on print
ing. which consists of Congressman
Barnhart (chairman), Indiana; Taven-
ner, Illinois, and Kiess, Pennsylvanla;
IT is hoped that this committee will
favor the publicity Of these documents
in sufficient number for proper distri-

connected with the department OF
commerce. It discusses reasons why
American manufacturers are not a
fator in foreign trade. Among the
more prominent is "the unfamiliarity
of many of our bankers with the
.uetnoas OF International finance" and
,ilso because "of more profitable in
vestments at home we have chosen to
invest here rathr than abroad"
Another reason, which the report
declares to be most discoura ging," is
that our schools and colleges seem
unable or unwilling to see the need
for training the youth to meet new
conditions. The report says that in
most schools "the language work. is
inadequate and no opportunity is pro
Vided to acquire the requisite practi-
cal experience"
81 'sThe big prize in foreign trade, y
continues TIE report, is the pnbli
and private developments of largo
proportions, as, for example, the build.
ing of railroads, the construction O.
public service plants, the improve
ment Of harbors and docks, the dig
ying of canals and many others which
iemand capital in large amounts
New countries are generally poor
They look to older and richer coun
tries to supply them with the capita
to make their improvements and t
develop their resources. The country
which furnishes the capital usually
sells the materials and does the work
Insthe last analysis it comes to this:
The country that wants the business
must finance the purchases, since the
improvements will be made and the
materials paid for out of the money
loaned"
It is recommended that if business
men are to compete with other ma
ions these two problems must be
solved: Financing foreign trade and
educating men to carry on such trade.
In view OF the persistent efforts Of
anti-unionists to blame organized Ia
Dor for present conditions, the above
declarations are both interesting and
educational, coming as they do from
such an authoritative source.

STATE EMPLOYEES

T Springfield, Ill, Jan. 12.-The Hi
nois state board of. administration re
Gently issued an order to the officials
of all state institutions that employees
are not to be interfered with because
they have joined or contmplate join
ing a labor organization.
Evidently some Of these officials did
not take the order seriously and now
the board has issued another order,
in which is included the original state
ment, instructing all managing officers
to post copy of the order in a con
spicuous place in the respective in
situations and also on their bulletin
boards. That these officers may be
impressed with the fact that the
board means what it says, they are

the partisan papers and charges and
countercharges of corruption have
been frequent in both newspapers and
the many fly-sheets that are always
part of q presidential campaign in
Panama.
During the campaign the American
minister, william J, Price has closely
watched the course of events and
there have been numerous conferences
between leaders of the two factions.
The United States is vitally interested
because II guarantees the independ-
ence and peace OF the little republic,
These conferences have concerned
themselves also with the question Of
election supervision The followers of
CHAR favor supervision aud say that
non-supcrvision will mean the frac-
ture of the public peace on election
day through disorders and possible
revolutions in all parts of the republic.
Or. Naldes supporters declare there
is no danger of trouble and that II
there should be il can easily be con
trolled 10y the national police. Dr.
Valdes and his friends are bitterly op-
posed to supervision. The United
states has manifested no disposition
to supervise, feeling it to be an UNI
warranted interference in the internal
affairs of the country. The military
authorities on the canal zone, how
ever, are expected to be instructed to
prevent any threatened trouble.
No great political principle has
been involved IN the campaign. II
has been largely fought on the issue
of extravaganza which the CHAR fac
ton charges to the administration of
DR.. Porras, who is said to be behind
the candidacy of DR. Valdes 1t iS
Charged that. to pr. Porras' admins
tration is due The present financhf
condition of the republic which for
the first time in its history finds itself
saddled with a national debt of APP
proximately 100000.
Dr. Valdes is the representative Of
the present so-called liberal party
He is locally regarded as the official
candidate of DR.. Porras. DR.. CHAR
who also claims to be the candidate
of the real liberal party and whose
supporters are locally called the Chia-
ristas. is the candidate of the former
friends of DR. Porras whom the latter
declared to have antagoni2ed through
his alleged high-handed methods oil
