in excess of 100000, and ig-
nored Mr.. Keating's estimate,
even after an alderman put to
him the direct question, "How
about Mr.. Keatings estimator"
The plant, he said last year
earned $115,000, enough to pay
5 per cent interest on the price
of the plant and the cost of in
take in addition. This is a
practical question. In answer
to Alderman Jefferson he said
the company went into the
hands of a receiver because it's
earnings went to pay the ex-
penses of litigation.
"None of it went for election
purposes?' queried the alder
man, to which Mr.. Gay replied
that he knew of nothing of the
kind.
Then S. F. Snively to a hand.
It wasn't much wonder the
company could pay 5 per cent
on over 100000. Why does
it cost $26 per annumi in Duluth
for water for a five-room house,
when in other cities of similar
size the charges average only
$11? Another comparison
showed Duluth people paying
$40 for a house that in the twin
cities would cost only $17. The
income Mr.. Gay boosted of
came from exorbitant rates.
Was not this income made out
of an overcharge levied on the
city?
Mr.. Gay said the council had
made the rates, to which Mr..
Snively answered that we were
not concerned about fixing the
blame, we wanted just prices.
He called the attention of Mr..
Gay to the fact that civic
committee, now investigating
the matter, had found that in
spite of all errors the supple
mentary plant was being built
within the original estimates,
and that the entire system, in
Guiding the intake connections
and the parallelling of the pres
ent plants, can be built for
$1,3OO,OOO. This Mr.. Gay
secuted, and Mr.. Snively came
back with the statement that a
responsible Chicago firm had
offered to parallel the present
plant and guarantee it's sue
cessful operation for $1,000, 900.

always essential to faithful SER
vice, and whether there be any
actual misuse of power by their
superiors or not, men will not be

they would if they knew their

Organized labor, however, has
an additional interest. From it's
point of view there is no differ
ence between public and private
employment, and injustice in the
former is bound to react on
those engaged in the latter.
There is, however, this differ
ence. Private injustice is some
times hard to reach. But where
there are several thousand work
ingmen with votes it is different
with men guilty of abuses in the
public service.

Julius Dworshak and ]. w. Grout
were instructed to act in the
matter of ]. E. Tucket & Sons,
employers of non-union tobacco
workers. Secretary Vogt of the
Milwaukee brewery workers
was present and made an enter
tanning address to the league.
Parties interested in outside
quarries have undertaken to dis
credit Duluth granite for use in
the reservoir. Two reasons are
advanced: first, that the Du-
luth stone cannot be worked,
and second, that it will add
$3778, or about 20 per cent. to
the cost. To the first the stone
cutters union has responded that
the Duluth stone will make a
more substantial building and
that responsible contractors are
willing to risk the granite and
give bond for a satisfactory
structure. AS to the second, by
using Kettle river coping, the ex-
cessive cost occasioned by the
use of the home stone, if Kettle
river coping is used, will not ex-
coed $500 or $1,000, and that
this will be more than offset by
the advantages to Duluth of
having the money kept at home.
Even if the Kettle river stone is
cut here, there will be $11O0 or
$1,000 paid for the stone and it's
transportation, which the use OF
the home stone would distribute
among Duluth workingmen,
every dollar of which, before it
is finally shipped out of the coun-
try, will have figured in from a
dozen to twenty transactions by
passing from man to man in pur
chase Of groceries, dry goods,
etc., and the payment of rents
and taxes.

Where her round of costly woes
Fashion strolled,

Wolves eyes through the window peer
Little dream they you are near,
Hunger and cold!
God has plans you must not spoil,

Some to share the wine and oil,

Sitting love and hope and peace,
Framed your hideous lusts to please
