AGAINST THE MILITIA
Socialists and Labor v Unionists
Ordered to Leave National
Guard.

Boston, Oct. %. - Socialist and Ia
bor unionists have ordered all men,
bers of those organizations VINO are
connected with the state militia To
withdraw or be expelled. In nearly
every case the men are leaving the
militia bodily. In the manufacturing
towns especially has the militia been
depleted.
The national organizations are head
ing the movement and the matter will
be followed closely in every state in
the union
The leaders declare that the chief
function of the American state volun-
teer militia Is to defend employers
property in time of strikes, with guns
trained upon the laborers. In this city
the designations have been so frequent
that two companies will disband. and
IN Broci<ton. Fall River and other
cities there is barely corporal guard
left. The Taunton company is dis
banding There are expensive armor-
les in nearly every city.

Robert P. Skinner, formerly of
Massillon, now consul general at Mar
seilles, France. is the author of a
pamphlet on the manufacture of
semolina and macaroni, which has
teen recently issued by the bureau of
plant industry of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
For several years past investigation
of macaroni wheats have been car
ried on by the department for the pur-
pose of promoting the wheat indus
try in this country. In his report Mr..
Skinner says that in his opinion more
attention should be given to the ex-
port of semolina, as well as macaroni
wheat. A large amount of seed of the
best quality has been imported and
has been found to be admirably adapt
cd for cultivation in this country. The
report Is of special interest to farmers
and to the millers and manufacturers
OF this country.

ANDREW CARNEGIE
Tells His London Audiences
That the United States Has
England Beaten For
ty Ways"

London, Oct. 23.--Andrew Carnegie
was formally installed yesterday as
rector of St. Andrews university. in
the presence Of large and brilliant
Gssembiage. over which Principal DON
aldson presided.
Mr.. Carnegie's rectoral address con-
sisted of lengthy study of the COM
parative growth of nations in the
paths of industrial ascendancy.
"The czar," he continued. having
taken the first step toward the peace
of the world in The Hague conference.
the other mighty emperor might some
day be impressed with the thought
that it is due to himself and to Ger
many to play q great part upon the
wider stage of Europe. as her deliver
er from the incubus which oppresses
and weakens her. the appalling, par
alyZing fear of war and of ruin be-
tween members of her own body"
Mr.. Carnegie. in the course of a
glowing tribute to Emperor William.
said he could not help believing that
lone so supremely great" could "in-
1uence the few men who today control
Europe to take the first step. not to
federate but by an alliance to secure
international peace, which is all that
can be expected at present" Unless
the powers agreed to something of the
kind all they could look forward to
was to "revolve like so many Lilipu-
tians around this giant Gulliver,
the American union. soon to embrace
zoe, 100000 of the English speaking
race and capable of supplying most or
the worlds wants."
Dealing with the events which
caused the industrial supremacy "once
yours. but now passed to your lineal
descendant who bears the Industrial
crown" Mr.. Carnegie maintained that
1t was physical impossibility for
Great Britain to produce material
things rivaling in amount countries
the size Of America, Germany and
Russia. nor would a union of the en-
pire change the situation, for neither
Canada nor Australia gave promise of
much increase in population of indus
trialism All thought of material as
tendency, even with the British en-
pire. united, must therefore be aban-
doned."
Mr.. Carnegie spared his Scotch au-
dience no details. America" he said
now makes more steel than all the
est of the world. In iron and coal
her production is the greatest. and
It is also so in textiles. She produces
three-quarters of the worlds cotton.
The value Of her manufacturers is
about triple that of your own. Her
exports are greater and the clearing
house exchanges at New York are al
most double those of London"
Germany. the speaker also said, now
threatened to GUST Great Britain even
from second place. France was not
likely to increase her trade much fur
ther. 1t was only thanks to the
and virtue of her people that
she remained amongst the frst-class
I.ations.
However" Mr.. Carnegie added
"even the United States has only a
proved supply of first-class ore suffi-
Gent for sixty or seventy years. With
the reserve of inferior grades 1t might
last another thirty years, unless the
rate of consumption greatly increases.

street commissioner. The committee
did not charge these departments with

street commissioner. The committee
did not charge these departments with
intentional extravaganza OF misman-
agement but said that they were given
too much power in the matter of ex-
perditures. No department they said,
should be contracting department
and all their expenditures should be
carefully scrutinized by council.
Mr.. Lynch advocated putting the
water works on Its own bisis, saying
that the city should not pay its debts.
He thought If made . separate insti-
tuition entirely it would be run upon
more of business basis and after
paying its expenses should also pay its
own debts. The city is now paying
out of it's sinking fund over $4,000
annually in interest on the $274.00O
worth of outstanding bonds for tho
water works department.
AGREEn TO BE GOOD.
At this juncture the board of trade
committee retired for a conference
and during its absence council formu-
lated and passed unanimously the fol-
lowing resolution: ~
THAT there shall be introduced in
council next Al1nday evening reso-
luton requiring that no resolutions
for the expenditure of money shall 10
through councit without first receiving
the approval Of the ways and means
committee and that there shall be no
suspension of the rules for this pur-
pose unless in case Of dire necessity
This action was reported to the com
mittce upon its return to the room.
. Mr. Lynch then stated that since
council had shown q dispotition to
avoid unnecessary expense for the rn-
ture and to retrench as far az possible
some relief must be given aud that tho
committee would accordingly recon-
mend such action as can be taken to
that effect by the board Of trade. The
clerk was instructed to prepare an ac-
curate account Of the city's needs for
submission to the board of trade at It's
! next meeting.

AKRON COOPERATIVE
BREWERY TO Be BUILT
Saioonkeepsrs Plan Similar
Institution to New Stark
Brewery.

An effort is ON foot for the erection
OF a cooperative brewery in Akron,
along the same lines as the Stark
brewery in Canton. A number of the
most influential saioonkeepers Of the
Summit county seat have been inter
ested in the project and junketing
trip was made by them to Canton
Wednesday in order to get line on
the work that has been done here.
Fred C. Toelle, Of Detroit. the pro-
noter that organized the Stark brew
ing company, is at the head Of the
Akron movement. The object is to get
the saloonkeepers of that city to erect
Il brewery to compete with the two
already in commission and to provide
for the consumption of the beer brew
ed in their own brewery.
A party of IA arrived in Canton dur
iEg Wednesday afternoon and inspect
I'd the rapidly growing structure of
the Stark brewery. The party dined

"This committee wants it distinctly
understood" said Mr.. Lynch. that
we are not here to criticize or find
fault. We realize that this council and
its immediate predecessors have been
placed in very trying position be-
cause of the city's rapid growth In
population without a corresponding in
crease in wealth. Much Of our popula-
ton is composed OF young men. who

Harbert said the demand for i'm
prosement in the northeast and south
west parts of the city created great ex.
pense To this the reply was. "If the
citizens went these improvements they
must help pay for them. You haven't
got the money. You must not spend
more than your income"
The question of cutting salaries
brought up a heated tdiscussion In
which Good, Schroyer, Harbert., Lich-
tenwalter, Marshall and Stein raised
strenuous objections to such a course
The conclusion reached was that nc
salaries should be cut, but that funds
for general expense must stand fol

might be available for the salary fund

STARK LINE TO RUN
CARS BY JANUARY |
" Distinctions to Terminus are
Not Hemov Cars viii
Stop at North +
Street.

c. A. Morley. president of the Stark
Electric Railway company, of Glove
land, was In Canton on Thursday on .
business mission in connection with
the street railway company. Mr.. Nor
ley said in regard to the recent injunc
tions which have been filed against
the company: There is no doubt in
my mind but that these men who have
served injunctions on our company
restraining us from proceeding with
the work Of constructing the line are
simply acting for the CaIton-Akron
company. Nevertheless / believe that
in the end the courts will dissolve
these injunctions which have been
brought against us and the Stark Rail-
way will he entirely vindicated.
"gn the event that these injunctions
arc dissolved and we are not tied up III
the future in any legal difficulties our
road will be running cars by the first
of the year. But IL too much time Is
lest in settling these difficulties the
road will not be In operation until
later than the first of the year. But
yon may say that II we are able tu
obtain terminus in the heart OF the
city before that time we will run the
cars to the corner of North and Orch
ard streets.
"In the event that we decide to do
this we will encounter difficulty
which will be hard to overcome. The
cars which will be run on the
ance road are single enders, that is
cars which can only be run from one
end. and for this reason we will be
compelled to build loop at the juno
ture of North and Orchard streets. Oul
company however feels sure that these
injunctions will be speedily dissolved
so that we can proceed with the con.
struction of the line."
