Points Out Difficulties.

President McLarin yesterday issued a
statement in which he pointed out the
difficulties standing in the way of tine
formation of a national organization by
the federal employees. His explana ton
follows:
National federations are composed of
chartered local unions. Consequently
the local unions must be formed before
a national federation can be formed. TIE
federation is composed of chartered or
CARNATIONS. not of individual num-
bers. Therefore. the chartered or
CARNATIONS must first be formed Only
one local union of employees following a
trade or calling may be formed in the
same locality, especially when all of
such employees are working for the same
employer The local StenoEraphers' As
sociation desires to form national
federation composed of people employed
in the government service and those
outside of the government service The
plan of the Federal Employees Union is
to form a local union in Washington at
this time, affiliate with the American
Federation of Labor and as soon as
practicable get local unions of federal
employees formed in other cities. When
these local unions are formed they will
together apply for national charter.

Plan to Sell Space.

Exhibition space in these buildings
could soon be sold for enough money to
pay for the construction and for their
maintenance in the best style. Here, at
this great center. the agents and visit
ors from Latin America might learn
what each of our states has to offer.
and each state could learn from its
neighbor something to it's advantage:
and the business people of all our
states might learn more of the re-
sources of the southern continent than
would be possible through years of eX-
, penSive travel.
While the commercial benefits would
certainly be great, immediate and last
ing, the moral benefits would be still
greater and more important. We peo-
pies of the western hemisphere may be
compelled to cultivate more solidarity
of thought, purpose and interest. while
our sister republics and our own will
of course maintain our individual po-
itical independence. 1t is no thought
of conquest or unfair advantage. but
only friendly cooperation, that &C
tuates this movement.
Unity of action in case of grave out
side pressure upon any one of the
American republics. or in times of dis
turbances in any one of the said re-
publics involving the peace and safety
of other and especially neighboring
units. would constitute bulwark of
safety for all And this bulwark, hav-
ing its seat at the capital of the great
est of republics. must inspire every
true American patriot. all the way
from Point Barrow to Cape Horn with
pride in the present and hope for the
future. while evokins the respect and
admiration of the whole world
Favors MARITIME Bill.
The MARITIME bill. recently introduced
in the Senate, calls for very modest
appropriation to go into this question
of A permanent states exposition at
Washington. 1t deserves early consid-
Grafton. And when the question of a
permanent states exposition is taken
up. it will be well to study the prop
osition of A cooperation of Latin
America in the great show at Wash
ington, the formation of magnificent
pan-American park on lands donated
by our government as a practical proof
that prize the friendship and re-
spect the dignity of our Latin neigh
bors. and court their trade. South
American representatives have already
expressed their interest in such an un-
dertaking. and it would not be difficult
to secure their aid in putting it through.
No doubt we will be asked to share in
permanent expositions elsewhere, but
ours should be the greatest and most
comprehensive, in keeping with the
character of our nation. And it should
not be forgotten that no permanent
American exposition can be a thorough
and lasting success without the CO.
operation of all the Americas.

Has Advised Government.

The National Academy of Sciences,
which was founded in 1863 as the out
growth of a request from Gideon
Welies. then Secretary of the Navy, for
a permanent commission to which
might be referred questions of science
and art upon which the department re-
uuired Information, has been called
upon frequently by the government to
advise it. In addition to the recent
call of President Wilson for the PAN
anna canal slides committee, the Presi-
dent several years ago adopted the
academy's advice in appointing q new
chief of the weather bureau and a
comm ssioner to report on othe preser-
walton of the fur seals of the Pribilof

Lectures on Evolution.

On the program of this years meet
ing of the academy are two lectures on

the Earth" to be delivered by Henry
Fairfield Osborn, president of the
American Museum of Natural History,
New York These will be given in the
William Ellery Hale lecture course,
which since it's inauguration two years
ago has been composed of series of
lectures on the general subject of evo-
luton.
Papers dealing with astronomy, the
study of plant and animal life, ex-
ploration, weather phenomena and 9TH
er interesting phases of scientific study
will be presented.
DIR. Charles r. Van Hise of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, who was chair

gated the P3nama canal slides. will
present the report of that committee S
work, and H. Fielding Reid Of Johns
Hopkins University will deliver lee
ture on THE Mechanics of the Pana-

turning from Panama some time ago.
presented A report to the President
which expressed the belief that there is
no justification for the statement that
traffic through the canal will be re-
peatedly interrupted during long pc
RODS of years to come, and that after
the present difficulties have been over
come. navigation through the canal is
not likely again to be seriously inter
rupted. The committee stated that
slides may be a considera BILE, although
not an unreaSonably large maintenance
charge upon the canal for number of
wears, and even that the trouble in the
Culebra cut may possibly again close
the canal. but expressed the free con-
viction that the canal will serve the
great purpose for which it was con-
structed and that the realization of
that purpose in the near future is as

AUTO FANS ARE ALIVE
Local Secretary Attends State Meet
ing and is Enthused to Rally
Local ORGANIZATION.

M. R. Simons attended the directors
meeting of the Minnesota State Auto
mobile Association at St. Paul Feb. 1.
He reports an interesting meeting.
The big question discussed was the
high price of oil. An Investigating
committee was appointed to gather
data and cooperate with other bodies
in fighting this arbitrary action of the
oil kings. Highways also came in
for a good share of the discussion.
There seemed to be a unanimous sen-
timent in favor Of utilizing convict
labor on the highways, which system
is successfully used in other states.
Mr.. Simons returned enthusiastic
about the work OF the association, and
hopes that the local club will respond
to the work of the association better
in 1916 than ever before. He is the
secretary, and reports that the men,
bership in good standing is sixty-tive,
which he believes should be at least
165. The annual meeting date is
March 81, and notices will be mailed
later. Mr.. Simons was appointed on
the State Committee on Tours and
Contests.
