TRUST HITS BACK. To Pay Fine Window Qliii Concerns Cut Wage* 30 Per Cent. Washington.?The Department of Justice, of which Attorney General Wickersbam ie the head, topk notice rof a newspaper dispatch from Pltts> burg .to the effect that the corpora* tlons combined in the so-called "win dow glass trust" had served notice upon their employees that a wage re duction of 30 per cent, was the only condition under< which the factories could continue to manufacture. The dispatch further said that the corporations attributed this ultimatum directly to the successful prosecution of the combination by the Department of Justice and the imposition of the United States court of tines upon the corporations and upon its officers and directors individually. The department issued a statement outlining its view of the matter, and incidentally intimating that the report ed ultimatum of the corporations, if substantiated by the faot, "would in dicate a very mistaken leniency on the part of the court which it is hoped would not be followed on any other similar occasion." TRADE WAR FEARED. Result of the Controversy With Ger many In Regard to Potash. Washington-?While the settlement of the potash controversy with Germa ny is awaiting the return of President Taft, the statisticians are busy tour ing how much American tfado "would bo damaged if the 25 per cent maxi mum wero to be applied in retaliation to German's action. The latest rec ord of the trade of the United States with Germany gives for one year $143, 000,004 in imports and $235,000,000 in exports. Studenta - of commerce fear that should the President decide to apply the maximum to; German imports, the German government probably would at once impose its maximum and a trade of about $250,000,000 would be seriously* damaged. There are two principal products of American export to Germany, how ever, which would not be affdeted, for they are both on the German free list. The first is cotton, which amounts to $112,000,000 a year, .and the second important item is copper, which ag gregates about $18,000,000 a year.

The cbiiuI will be completed in 1013, he suld, within the 9375.UOO.OUO ui ready authorised. Toe President waa tremendously pleased at the outlook for the early completion of the great work and con gratulated Colonel Uoethals. He ox* pressed amazement at the amount of work accomplished since hlj visit to rue isthmus in February, 1909. The 1'resldeut waa greatly surpris ed at the immensity of the (jatun dam, some idea of which can be gained from tho fuct that the train was under way nearly three hours on the apur tracks overrunning the great All. Tho Provident exclaimed: "This is a mountain;, not a dam!/' Tho Visit of President Tuft has ut terly dispelled any fears from reports respecting the stability of tho dam base, which Is a half mile wide a,nd so gradually sloped that It would nev er, be recognized as a dam. Colonel Uoethals explained to (lie Pi*esldent that the Informal opening of the canal in 1913 required immedlato action on the part of congress rela tive to toll rates, because eighteen months will be required by shipping interests to adjust their ratqs to the ne wrouting. v> The canal is beginning to take the form of a waterway, and this acceler* ttt.es the intercut of the employes, thus hastening completion. President Tuft effectually disposed c? the report that the United Btate* was likely to annex Panama. At a dinner gh?*n Jp his honor by Presi dent Arosemena, and attended by 200 prominent officials and diplomats and merchants, President Taft arousod the greatest enthusiasm when he declared that the American people would '(eel utterly dishonored in annexing Pana ma unless some conduct on the part of the Punuman people left no other course. This contingency Mr. Taft wa* sure, would never arfse. 1 - PROHIBITION LAW RULING. Alabama's Dry Law la Held to Be Valid by Court.
