CENTRALIZED INDUSTRY.
May Lead to the Transfer of Control .
to til (-1 Operate 1'.
“'ASHINGTO: V', Apiil 1-‘
trial commission recently 1.31.1uested ex-
Mayor Abram S. Hewitt of New York
to appear before it and give his views
on industrial questions. In a letter of
response M1'. Hewitt says in part:
“I am an old man, practically retired
from public affairs and striving to close
up such private interests as still re-
quire attention. The condition of my
health does not admit of absence from
home.”
Speaking of trusts, he says:
“Corporations haVe continued to
grow, and at the present moment they
threaten to absorb the enter indus—
trial business of the country which is
capable of being administered by cen—
tralized management. This is precise-
ly the direction VV' hit-l1 1 anti; ipatcd and
seems to me to be in accordance with
the evolution which has taken place
within the last half century and which
-may be in accordance with a natural
law if there be natural laws involved in
the progress of modern civilization. My
own view is that when industry has
been sufficiently centraiized and the
ownership widely diffused through the
distribution of shares the workman will
gradually acquire these shares and con-
trol the property which they represent.
”In fact. I cannot see any other out—
tome for the present movement toward
the consolidation of industrial enter-
prises than the transfer of the control
to those who are actually engaged in
the work of operation. How far legis~
lation can be made to promote this de-
sirable end I am unable either to pre-
dict 01' suggest. A: a. general proposi-
tion I regard legislative interference
with capital and labor as pernicious.
W’omen and children may properly be
protected from abuse, but I think indi-
vidual interests are best safeguarded by
compelling the parties concerned to set-
tle their own differences and decide u, -
on their own interests. The c<,11'poi'ate
movement, how ever, seems to me to be
altogether advantageous to s«_'-c‘...-t:.'."

RUSSIAN AGGRESSION.
Young Flnlnnders Leave Because of
the Emperor’s Decree.
HULL, England, April 14.———There is a1
great rush of young Finlanders for the
United States to avoid the recent decree
of Emperor Nicholas regarding Finland,
which provides for an increase of the
Russian military and naval forces and
the extension of construction. The
steamer Arcturus landed 315 men here
yesterday from Hango, 202 a ived a
few days ago, and all report tlf t many
more are coming as soon as possible.
All the attempts of the Finns to check
the recent Russian aggression in Fin-
land have proved futile. General BO-
has
compelled the Finnish senate to send
orders to all ministers throughout Fin:
land forbidding them even to criticise
the imperial ukase. He has himself
supplemented the ukase, which makes
the Russian language obligatory in the
UniVersity of Helsingfors and in the
schools of the provinces, with an order
introducing Russian coinage and direct-
ing that. all old Finnish coins shall be
returned to the mint and removed from
circulation. The Swedish professors at
been replaced by
Russians.
Throughout Scandinavia. which is
warmly sympathetic with Finland, this
attitude of Russia has provoked a feel-
ing of intense indignation, and the
Swedish press calls upon the govern-
ment to abstain from taking part in
the disarmament conference. which
meets next month at The Hague, a con-
gress which they stigmatize as hypo-
critical in the face of decrees which con-
template an increase of armament and
would attain it by destroying all hope
of perpetuating the Finnish nationality,
\\' hi(h the czars are under the most 501-
em11 pledges to maintain.
'l‘u'n Opinions of Council Beef.
Vii-\SHING'I‘CJ, April 14.——Dr. W. D.
Bigelow. chemist of the agricultural de—
partment. told the Vlade court of in-
qui 1'V yesterday that the canned corned
beef was a wholesome and nutritious
product—ev on more nutritious than
fresh beef, because of the preponder-
ance of proteids. He also gave the de-
tails of his general investigation into
the canned beef supply, showing the
meat to be a generally satisfactory ra-
tion. Professor Mallet, professor of
chemistry at the University of Virginia,
presented a contrary view. He express-
ed the opinion that a chemical analysis
was not a sufficient test of the charac-
ter of a food product, saying that vari-
ous conditions necessarilymust be con-
sidered. He did not regard the canned
roast beef a desirable ration. Rudolph
K. Spicer, an undertaker of Harrisburg,
said he had discovered crystalline salts
on the refrigerator beef in Porto Rico,
VV hich reminded him of powders used in
embalming.
'l‘ulnmany’s Big Dinner.
NEW‘ YORK, April 14.—~Tammany
Hall’s feast in honor of Thomas Jeffer-
son, the apostle of Democracy, took
place last night in the Metropolitan
Opera House. under the auspices of the
Democratic club. It was a feast of flow-
ers. of good cheer, and Tammany men
congratulated the organization on the
successful issue of what was undoubt—
edly ‘the most stupendous effort of the
kind ever attempted in this city. The
gathering was a success from a numer-
ical point of view, the food was excel-
lent, the service was beyond the fondest
expectations of the planners of the
feast and the speeches were of the kind
that Tammany Hall men like to hear.
Judge Van “'ka was the principal
speaker of the evening.
.\ Coal Mine Caves In.
NANTICOKE, Pa., April 14.—A se-

the Susquehanna Coal company. on the
western side of the borough. yesterday.
The opening is about 500 feet in length
and 300 feet wide and is rapidly extend-
ing. Forge creek, which was directly
over the cave, is now pouring into the
opening. 'I‘he.slope is an old one, and
no one was working in it at the time.

A Conference Held “’ith General

Mortgage Question Vital.
HAVANA, April 14.——The Cuban-gen-
erals yesterday waited upon General
Maximo Gomez officially and informed
him that they desired him to represent
the army in any negotiations with the
United States military authorities in
Cuba. General Gomez accepted the
trust, after which all waited upon GOV-
ernor General Brooke to discuss with
him the details of disarmament and
payment. '
General Gomez in his response said:
“Since by the dissolution of the mili-
tary assembly the Cuban army has been
without a representative in a position
to serve its interests and the general in-
terests of Cuba as connected with those
of the army, I gladly accept the post
you offer for the purposes specified, but
I insist upon a council of generals to
advise and assist me and that these
generals shall receive the arms of the
soldiers and hold them as trophies and
souvenirs of the last glorious Cuban
struggle for 11be1ty
“As soon as this work is completed
I desire full liberty to withdraw to a
foreign country or to any part of Cuba,
there to spend the remainder of my
days. We must recognize that the only
power today in Cuba is the power of
those who have intervened, and. there-
fore, for the present thoughts of a Cu-
ban indcpendent government can be no
more than dreams.’
General Gomez also p1oposed that
after the VV"01k of disbanding VV as com‘
pletcd the council of generals should be
continued under the presidency of Gen-
eral Bartolome Maso, as the head ano
front of Cuban interests, a provisional
Cuban government assisting in pro—
moting Cuban welfare under the con-
trol of the Americans. In his opinion
the Cuban officers as well as the men
of the rank and file should receive a
share of the $3,000,000, especially as
many of these, he said, were today in
extreme want. Hissuggestion was that
such officers as did not need the money
allotted them might turn it back to the
account of the soldiers.
On the suggestion of Gomez that they
should all visit General Brooke, com-
municate to him their resolutions and
talk the matter over- in his presence,
each one freely expressing his opinion,
the - generals repaired to the Hotel
Trocha, where the governor general re-
ceived them cordially. The conferenm
lasted two hours. With regard to the
payment of Cuban officers the fact was
developed that the American-authorities
had already decided to make them a
payment after the soldiers hadbcen
settled with. The preparatory details
will probably be agreed upon today.
The land owning and banking inter.
