Textile Industry Studied
by government Experts

Washington, D. c., June 81
Practical ways for eliminating
needless expense now burdening
textile workers now being pre-
pared by the U. S. Training Ser
vice of the Department of La
Dor. 1t is estimated that the
adoption Of these courses reduces
by one-half the time required
for workers to learn their res
pective tasks in the textile mills.
Other special benefits claimed
for training are marked reduc-
ton in accidents to employees
and in damage to machinery.
At present the common prac-
tice in starting a new textile en-
ployee to work is to place him
along side an old employee who
lis supposed to instruct the. beg
inner as he has opportunity, IN
addition to performing his regu-
lar duties. Many times little or
mo real instruction is given and
the worker has to pick up his
knowledge the best way he can.
A training department such
las the Government experts re-
comend provides a special ms
tructor who teaches the various
operations according to the most
approved method and carefully
explains all safety regulations.
The work in these training de-
Ipartments is not theoretical, for
the learners are put on actual
production and so are accustom-
led to conditions as they find
them when transferred to the
class of regular operators.
The training departments are
invented for old as well as new
employees. To give the former

$4,000, 900 to end Co
lombia dispute

Washington, June 18.-The
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee has before it a new trea-
ty with Colombia that is expec-
ted to end the controversy over
payment for the Panama Canal
rights, which has continued for
sixteen years. Under the terms
of the treaty it is proposed to
pay Colombia $25,OOO,OO0, al
though no definite decision has
been reach as to that sum.
In the years of controversy
over this question, Colombia has
insisted that the United States,
besides paying for the strip of
land taken, must apologize for
having taken it. Senator Lodge,
now Chairman Of the Foreign Re
Iations Committee, and other
Republican leaders of the Senate,
have fought against making any
apology to Colombia, and Mr..
Lodge has also opposed, until
the present time, paying any

such sum as $25, 100000.
The State Department has been
in consultation lately with the
Colombian Government through
its Minister here, and the latter
has agreed that the apology so
long insisted upon be eliminated
from the treaty. Colombia, it's
Minister said, was anxious to
have the dispute ended and
would accept $25,000,OO0 in full
settlement.
Senator Knox, VINO was 0ecre-

at an early date.
When the. Foreign Relations
Committee took up the new trea-
ty a few days ago several mem
bers, including Mr.. Borah, OBJ
jected to paying Colombia as
.$25,000,000. Mr.. Borah thought
that SIS, 100000 was ample. He
recalled that Colombia at one
time had been willing to take
.S10,00O,0O0, then had raised the
figure to $15,OOO,0OO,, and now
wants $25, 100000.
There was no indication to-
night as to when the committee
would report the treaty, but
final vote upon it will be attemp-
ted within a few days.
Colombia's demand for pay
ment for the Panama Canal
rights was put in after Panama,
through an overnight revolu-
tion, set UP its own Government
and then yielded rights upon the
Isthmus to the United States.
Ever since that time Colombia
has insisted that the United Sta
tes practically confscated the
land through which the canal
was projected.
Efforts made by some Demo
Icratic Senators during the Roo
sevelt and Taft Administrations
and more recently during the
Wilson Administration to pay
Panama $25,00O,000 and to cou-
pie with it an apology were re-
sisted by the Republicans. Sem
ator Lodge stood as a bttlwark
against yielding to Colombia,
and was able to command the
support of more than a third of
the Senate, in that way blocking
any attempt at putting treaty
through that body.

The supercargoes are a select

United States Shipping Board
and put through a course of in
tensive training to~fit them for
the duties they are now perform

Already the supercargo is

Board finally determined upon
the organization of the corps, a
call was issued for young men Of
special qualifications to take up
the work. The response was
spontaneous. Seventeen thous-
and men, from 21 to 40. years Of
