MINNEAPOLIS INDUSTRIAL,


let Mr.. Lowry feel their lack OF
sympathy with him. There is also a
unanimity of opinion in regard to the
present city council, and it is not flat
-tering one at all. The trade and labor
assembIy'S blue book holds some re-
markably interesting notes which will
be good ammunition for the next polit
ical campaign. The difference of opin-
ion is merely in regard to the best
method of getting rid of the present ex-
elusive franchise. Many think the city
should own and operate the lines. The
herdic stockholders find the herdic line
a success thus far, and bend all
their energies toward a COM
pletion of several lines. Others favor
the granting of franchise to Anderson
az Douglass, saying that thereby Mr..
Lowry will be forced to make good his
recent liberal promises, quick trans
portatIon will be assured and the labor
organizations can let the rival compa-
MES fight the battle which would other
wise be waged between themselves and
the one company owning the exclusive
franchise.
The Workingmen's Municipal Reform
association isn't saying anything, but
the secretary has a curious record on
his book, opposite the names of those
councilmen who pledged themselves to
carry out the reforms advocated by that
association during the late campaign.
1t will make interesting reading, If the
city fathers continue in the way in which
they are started.
