GOMPERS SCORES THE STEEL TRUST Hints at a Repefition of the Pullman Troubles. ‘Washington, Feb. 3.—A sharp excori- ation of the United States Steel cor: poration of one of President Gompers' among the newspaper fraternity of+ contributions to the February issue of northern Minnesota as ‘“Dad,” cameto the city this morning from Grand Rapids and Cass Lake, where he had been taking orders for the Peyton Paper company of Duluth, i for which he is the traveling repre-| sentative, Mr. Dean spent today in Bemidji looking after business mat- ters for his company. Weather counditions, 'such as those which prevailed yesterday and today, could not be improved upon,-and: if the ground hog saw his shadow yes- terday, the weather which we have gives the lie direct to the animal which predicts six weeks of continous winter “when the sun is shining on February 2. The weather is just crisp enough to keep the roads in fairly good condition and make glad the heart of the lcgger in this section. Charles H. Gardner, general orth-country manager forthe Grand orks Lumber company, returned to the city last night from a visit to the camps of the.

Mr. Gardpner states that his company will log about 3,000,000 feet of timber at Black- duck, and that William Wynu isin charge of the work there. the Federationist. The president of the American Fed eration of Labor attacks the various arguments. advanced in favor of the “‘overcapitalization” of the steel trust and scores the “profit-sharing” scheme of the corporation. On this point, after assuming that the government is soon to conduct a searching investigation of the steel trust and that will be made clear, Gompers says: “We have good reason for not be- lieving .that one of the corporation’s employes in five earning under $500 a year ever owned a share of its stock the requisite preliminary to this profit sharing. It is to be doubted that the ratio now reaches one in ten. “The steel trust, in prosecuting its ‘war against trades unionms, is closing its scattered mills to open its colossal state’s prison workshops and ‘work- men’s’ dwellings at Gary. Once upon a time a man did much the same thing at Pullman.” Wisconsin Lumberman Dead.

NELS Chairman of Public Lands Committee of the Senate Takes the Position That Sovereignty of Waterways Rests With the States for All Pur- poses Other Than Navigation—Bal- linger Bill Now Before This Com- mittee for Action. Chicago, Feb. 3.—A special to the Tribune from Washington says: The federal conservation of water power has been struck a sledge ham- mer blow by a brief prepared for the public lands committee of the senate under the direction of Senator Nelson of Minnesota. The brief holds that the control of water for purposes other than navigation rests with the states rather than with the federal government. This doctrine is regarded as consti- tuting a bar to the water power bill which was drawn by Secretary Bal- linger and introduced in the senate by Senator Nelson with the adminis- tration’s approval. Its acceptance will make an end to the proposal that the federal government undertake to lease the water power rights, with -pro- visions to regulate the price to the consumer and with a reservation that the amount of payment to the federal government shall be subject to read- Justment at stated periods. This situat’on is all the more seri- ous for the comservation programme because it is regarded as a logical] conclusion of the position which Sen- ator Nelson took in the James river fight with President Roosevelt. The outlook is that the senate committee on lands, in the interest of consistency, again will support its chairman, just as it did in the James river case. Roosevelt Idea on Larger Scale. The proposal which now is before the lands committee is regarded as simply an enlarged application of the principle President Roosevelt sought to enforce. It is held to proceed upon the assumption that the federal gov- ernment has sovereign right over the waters in a stream to such an extent that it may regulate the use of those waters, regulate the price to be charged for the electric current gen- erated and prevent the sale of power or waler rights in such a way as to constitnte a monopoly. Consistently with the position for- merly taken by Senator Nelson this new brief holds that. the sovereignty of the waterways rests with the state. It is held that the federal government as a land owner has .only such rights to the water as any other riparian owner has, with the single exception of controlling the water for commerce. It is further declared that the federal government in leasing a power site has no more right to specify the fran- chise conditions such as are specified in the water power bill than any pri- vate riparian owner would have in leasing a water power site to another individual or corporation. - The federal government may lease a water power site as so much land and nothing more to any person it may see fit, but the persons getting such a lease will have to bargain with the state authorities for the franchise rights and for the right to use the water. = BIG- FIRE AT: MINING GAMP Marysville, Mont,, - Suffers” $100,000 Loss by Flames.

The opera house, two meat markets, several sa- loons, a drug store, cafes and a num- ber of empty buildings were burned. The fire originated in a cafe and was fanned by a brisk wind. Dynamite was freely used in checking the fire. The loss probably does not exceed $100,000. % PREPARES BRIEF Cannon Scores “Yellow” Journals. ‘Washington, Feb. 3.—Sensational newspapers were under the fire of Speaker Cannon’s invective when he addressed the Loyal Legion at its twenty-eighth annual banquet.
