SEAL DISPUTE
BETWEEN FOUR
NATIONS ENDS
Secretary Nagel Who Has Had
Charge for This Country
Pleased With Arbitra
tion Outcome
CALLS IT iTJeAL WAY
TO SETTLE DISPUTES
Problem of Long 'Standing
Proves Very Simple. When
the Interested Parties
: Get Together
(By Victor Elliott.
WASHINGTON. July IS. Secre
tary of the Dopartmeut of Conimorco
and Labor Nagel has a new dutl
to perform, now that tto Inter
national arbitration treaty regulat
ing tbo control ard administration
ot fur seal , trading has been nego
tiated between this country. Great
Britlan, Russia and Japan.
Aside from his duties connected
with tbo department ot commerce
and labor, Mr. Nagol will bo known
hereafter as the International gome
warden, with plenipotentiary powers
in guarding the fur seals of the
waters around Alaska. His duties
will bo administered In connection
with other high officers of the
respective governments, who are
parties to tha agreement, in the
hope that the fur seal Industry will
bo properly protected from bands of
marauders who Infest tho Pacific
ocean, killing seals by the thou
sands, and gradually bringing about
nn extermination of tho seals.
Tho negotiation ot tho pact be
tween the parties Is considered hero
as a great diplomatic stroke by
friends ot Secretary of State Knox,
and an agreement of mutual advant
age to tho nations who havo signed
the treaty.
Great Advance.
In speaking of It. Secretary Nagel
said that he regarded tho -arbitration
treaty as a wonderful advance,
nhmrlntf hnw tanv9it Is for the
representatives ot friendly powers-
to reach a common basis upon
which to deal with matters about
which there were differences ot
opinion. In the secretary's opinion,
this arbitration pact is the premise
ot othor treaties more widely diver
gent In character, more vital to
the interests of nations. Through the
example set by President Taft, all
differences ot opinion between var
ious countries, ho thinks, no matfer
what Is contemplated, could be set
tlodethrough tho peaceful offices of
arbitration. In support ot his
view, Mr. Nagel points to the pros
fent peace arbitration agreement be
tween this country and Great Bri
tain, In which various matters are
to bo taken up for discussion and
arbitration without the resort to
armed force, a3 wan done in former
days.
In returning to a discussion of the
seal past. Sir. Nagel said that lUw
sla and the United States had agreed
upon the abollshmont of pelagic
seal fishing, the United States be
cause of its large and valuable herds
upon tho Prlbilof Islands, and Rus
sHi because of her herds on Com
mander Islands.
The Fur Seal Question.
"Japan, however. " ha sahl, "has
practically had her herd wiped out
by pelagic sealing. The four coun
tries had different Interests, and
yet after thoroughly discussing the
subject In all 1U bearings they
were finally able to reach an agree
ment which is satisfactory to all.
"It Is not to the interest of the
world," Mr. Nagel continued, "to
have tho fur seal exterminated, and
yet that fato was unavoidable If
pelagic sealtngwas to continue. Tho
reason for It Is that In pelagic seal
ing It Is the female seals that are
slaughtered. Tho far seal Is a
polygamus animal. v-v
"At the opening of tho breeding
season the fights between the males
take place -which determine which
are to dominate the haroTus. Once
they are settled, the other seals are
driven otf and kept away by a ys
tem ot regulation that Is marvelous.
After the young are born, tho fe
male leaves the land and goes out
to sea. not for three or ten or
twenty miles, but for hundreds of
miles Into the high seas In search
of food. The male, however, does
net leave tho land or It close prox
imity. Therefore, It Is tho females
that fall victims to tho pilasie
sealer, and" the loss of a female Is
a doable loss, because It means the
lots of ehr young, which must
s-tarvo to death."
How It Is Fixed.
Nothing 1 lost by tho killing of
the male stals. Urn secretary tald
AH expert representing the various
nation, agreed to It at the con
ference jast closed. But we 1 .
of tho female means the loss at tho
icing and consecuently the dlatn

When requested miners will be
required to muck at miners'
wages.
S. W. FRENCH. ,
, General Manager.,
When asked yesterday about tho
reasons for tho raise by a representa
tive of The Review, Walter Douglas,
general manager of the Phelps Dodgo
company, which controls the Copper
Queen company, said:
Reasons For Move.
"The board or directors of the Cop
per Queen, in instructing its local
management to increase miners' wag
es from August 1 to $3.75 per day,
has done so for two reasons which
it feels justifies its action. First, be
cause of the fact that the closing ot
the mines on Sunday has materially,
reduced the monthly earnings of its
miners; and, secondly, it was desired
to differentiate between the trained
and experienced miners, who havo
spent years in learning their profes
sion, and the untrained labor repre
sented by tho muckers, carmen, etc.
"With reference to the first reason
the directors did not feel justified in
resuming Sunday work, as they feel
that for a day's rest each week is es
sential and while the present condi
tion of the copper market hardly war
rants the proposed raise, they are
willing and anxious to do anything
possible to keep Bisbeo an American
community and a city of homes.
Change In Scale.
'The past scale of wages whereby,
no premium is given, or consideration
shown to the trained miner, who has
In many cases spent years of his life
in mastering his trade, seems to the
directors unfair and lndcfenslve. In no
other Industry does the apprentice re
ceive tho same pay as the master
workman. To stimulate a man's am
bition there must bo something to
work for and there must be hope ot
something better for him who Is will
ing and anxious to improve his condi
tion. Unfortunately, In industries em
ploying so" many men, it is only pos
sible to carry out this principle to a
very limited extent, but they believo
that a step Is being taken in the right
direction in rewarding the efficient
miner with Increased wages and hold
ing out to other classes of under
ground labor an Incentive to strive
for a cetter paid job.
Preference to Helpers.
"In furtherance ot this system Mi.
Woodman is instructing his foremen
to Invariably give the preference when
needing miners, to their own helpers,
muckers and carmen, when theso aro
capable of doing the work."
It was impossible to obtain a state
ment from any of the Calumet and
Arizona officials, as Mr. Greonway,
the general manager, is away on a va
cation and Mr. Gohring, the superin
tendent, was out of the city yester-
iay. It is understood, however, thit,
the same reasons Influenced both
companies to make tine raise In wages.
