MAY ORDER MEN OUT
Seattle Trades Council at
War With Millowners.
WAHTMORE PAY FOR SAME WORK
Demand Grew Oat of Boycott Placed
on Trades Council by Lumber
Council Probably OOOO Men
"Will Be Out of Work.
SEATTLE, June 20. A demand has been
made by the Seattle Building Trades
Council upon the lumber manufacturers
and woodworking shops of Seattle for a
reduction of the hours of labor to bine
hours a day, without a decrease of pay.
This demand grew out -of the action of
the Seattle Lumber Exchange in declar
ing a boycott on the members of the
Trades' Council, as a means of retaliation
for the action of the council In boycot
ting the lumber manufactured by the
Moran BrosI
Failing in its efforts to enforce Its de
mands, the Trades' Council will probably
order all of the local mill operatives out.
This will result In a shut-down of all lum
ber mills, and as the lumber mills through
out the State of Washington will In all
probability support the local mills in their
fight, even to the extent of refusing to
furnish lumber to Seattle contractors af
filiated with the Building Trades Coun
cil, this wlU cause building operations In
the city practically to cease. In this
event 5000 men engaged In building oper
ations and 1000 men employed in sawmills
jjand other woodworking shops In the city
vwlll be thrown out of wprk.
The mill men are strongly organized,
and propose-to fight the battle to the bit
ter end, eren if it Involves a shut-down
of Indefinite length. They say as the
larger proportion of their product Is for
export, and comes directly Into competi
tion with the product of the other mills
throughout this state and Oregon, this is
the only course left to them. It Is im
possible for-them to grant the demands
of the -men, they say, for such action
would cut down the capacity of their
mills at least 10 per cent, and take away
all the profits of the Industry, if not ac
tually compelling the mills to run at a
loss.
The State Metal Trades Association held

promises of prosperity would be fulfilled.
They were fulfilled. The renewei confi
dence of the people came with the fulfill
ment. Let us give notice to the oppo

NAVIGATED HELL GATE.
BIgr Battle-Ship Massachusetts Suc
cessfully Passed the Narrows.
NEW YORK.' June 20. Without the as
sistance of a pilot and to demonstrate that
a first-class battle-ship could be navigated
through Hell Gate successfully. Captain
Henry M. Manney took the big battle
ship Massachusetts through the narrows
today. It was the first time In the his
tory of the Navy that any commander of
a war vessel of this class ever dared at
tempt the feat, and river craft and the
shores were filled today to witness the
trip of the Massachuetts. The passing, of
the mammoth fighting machine through
the dangerous waters of Hell Gate suc
cessfully proves that In case of hostilities
with a foreign power, a battle-ship of the
same draft as the .Massachusetts, If
she passed the fortifications of Wlllet's
Point and Fort Schuyler, could repeat ths
performance of the Massachuetts. Sec
retary Long has taken official notice of
Captain Manney's dangerous feat, and is
sued orders that no naval vessel the size
of the Massachusetts shall use the Hell
Gate narrows except In cases of great
emergency.

Arbitration by Russia.
OTTAWA. June 20. The published
statement to the effect that the United
States would prefer to submit the Alaska
boundary claims to Russia's arbitration
was called to the attention of Sir Wilfrid
Laurler today. He was asked If he would

tion. "No such proposal has reached me yet,"
replied Sir Wilfrid. "When a proposition
Is made, my government will be ready to
consider It.'
"You were willing to submit the claims
to arbitration when the Joint High Com-
-0-9
HENRY C. CORBIN
TO INSPECT THE f
mission was sitting, were you not?" ho
was asked.
"Oh, yes," was the Prime Minister's
reply. "Look at the late protocol laid
before the House. Protocol No. 63 of the

t of the British Commissioners. The Brlt
' lsh Commissioners represented that, hav-
Ing been unable to agree on that ques

a third to be selected by these two. The
general opinion Is that Russia would not
be satisfactory to Great Britain.
CUBAN BONDS.
Extent of the Indebtedness Out
standing: Cannot Be Learned.
WASHINGTON, June 20. Incident to
the consideration by the Cuban Constitu
tional Convention of the proposition to
redeem, through the government to be
established, the bonds which were issued
by the insurrection party in Cuba before
tho intervention of the United States, the
Government here Is making some effort
to ascertain Just how much of this Indebt
edness Is outstanding. The results are so
far disappointing, for It has been found
impossible to learn Just how many bonds
were Issued by the revolutionary govern
ment of Cuba, and It Is not even known
how many bonds were Issued by the
leaders of the former revolution which ter
minated with the peace treaty of San
Juan. The Inquiry has disclosed the un
dertaking by certain New York Interests
to supply the Cuban Junta with several
hundred thousand dollars In cash, at the
rate of Jl In cash for about 510 In bonds,
to be raised by the Cuban Insurrection
ists, but It Is not known how many of
these bonds were Issued, or Into what
hands they drifted.
Will Save an Old Tavern.
NEW YORK, June 20. At the latest
meeting of the Board of Public Improve
ments a map and estimate were received
from the City Engineer's bureau on the
proposed park at Pearl and Broad streets,
embracing the site of the historic Fraunces
tavern, ' frequented by Washington and
other Revolutionary War characters. The
assessed valuation of the half block pro
posed for the Park was raised to $185,000,
and the actual purchase price will prob
ably be about twice that sum. The total
cost of the park will be about $500,000.
Representatives of the American Science
and Historical Preservation Society and the
Woman's Auxiliary, who started the park
movement, and who were in attendance
at the board meeting, declared themselves
gratified at the report. President Coogan,
of the Borough of Manhattan, expressed
himself as sanguine that the old tavern
will be saved.

COMING FROM ITALY
Vast Colonization Plan of the.
Santa Fe Railway,
TO FILL UP THE SOUTHWEST
Thousands of Italian Immigrants to
Be Settled In California, New
Mexico, Oklahoma and
Texas.
CHICAGO. June 20. The Record-Herald
tomorrow will say:
"The management of the Santa Fe Rail
way has begun to carry out a. vast col
onization plan which will result In bring
ing many thousands of Italians to this
country and in locating them on lands In
Southern California, New Mexico, Okla
homa and Texas. Agents of the road
have been sent to Italy with llteraturo
for distribution in various parts of tho
peninsula. These books are in the Italian
language and are plentifully Illustrated
with views taken from picturesque spots
along the line of the Santa Fe in the
states and territories mentioned. Special
effort is to be made to colonize the San
Joaquin Valley, which Is one of the most
fertile grazing regions In tho West. It 13
said to be the intention of the company,
to extend its colonization plans to other'
countries in Europe after tho Italian
agency becomes flourishing. Regarding
the plan an official of the company had(
this to say:
" 'We intend to bring over only the bet
ter class of Italians and we hope to do
a large business from Italy during the
next year. By establishing agencies there
and having our own men on the ground
we will be able to select our immigrants
to a certain extend and bring over only
those who we feel sure will make homes
In the Western country.' "
CUBANS EYES OPENED.
At Last They See That Americans
Are Their Friends.
PHILADELPHIA, June 20. General Em.
lllo Nunez Civil Governor of the Province
of Havana, passed through this city today
on his way to Atlantic City. In speaking
of the conditions, political and social, of
the Island, General Nunez said:
"Since the acceptance by our Cuban
National Assembly of tho Piatt amend
ment, the political situation has improved
a good deal. The business people there
now think there will be no question raised
or misunderstanding in the relation be
tween the United States and Cuba. New
companies, with American capital, have
come to Havana, and more money la
being Invested in the country than ever
before. The Administration of General '
Wood, all In all, has been very success
ful. He has had to contend with many
difficulties, but has succeeded In keeping
the confidence of the people.
"The Cubans are anxiously awaiting tho
time when they will have their own Pres
ident, and we expect that one year from
now the Cuban Government will be es
tablished. This Piatt amendment will bo
a benefit to Cuba. Senator Piatt has ex
plained its terms. It will keep Cuba in
peace and protect her from foreign na
tions. The proposed establishment of a
coaling station by the United States Is
satisfactory to the people, who are grate
ful to this country for Its assistance.
"For myself, I never had any doubt of
tho good Intentions of President McKln
ley. I have faith In the man, and believe
he Is honest and straightforward, and
wants to do good for us. Many Cuban
people, however, not knowing the Amer
ican nation, supposed the United States
Is like Spain, which so often broke her
promises to Cuba."
Adoption of the Piatt Amendment.
WASHINGTON. June 20. Secretary
Root today received a letter from Governor-General
Wood containing the offi
cial announcement of the adoption of the
Piatt amendment by the Cuban constitu.
tlonal convention. Like the constitutions
of most of the South American republics,
the Cuban constitution has been framed
with the Constitution of the United States
as a model. The adoption of the Piatt
amendment makes it sufficient for all the
purposes of this Government In Its rela
tions with Cuba.
