MUNICIPAL " OWNERSHIP.
Glasgow, Where the Most EIabo-
rate Experiments Have Been
Made, Does Not Derive
Much Revenue From
its Business
Virtues.
From the st. Louis Globe-Deemorat.

lErom the st. LOUIS GloDe-OeemoFaL.B
Beyond any other city in the world
Glasgow, Scotland, has gone most ey-
tensively into the municipal manage
ment of public utilities. The city
supplies water, gas, electric light,
street railways, telephones, bath sand
wash houses; conducts markets for
vegetables, fruit, cattle, cheese, meats,
old clothes, birds and dogs; owns and
partly directs 2, 4SS municipal houses,
s lodging houses, a family home, 375
shops, 40 stores, 43 ware houses, 433
work shops, 12 halls, 2 churches, 2
hotels, l theatre, l studio, l pawn
Office, nursing home, l powder mill,
l laundry. l bake house, 1 golf
course, several stone quarries, 600
railway wagons and one Gospel tent;
farms 1000 acres of land and converts
city sewerage into fertilizers 1t
builds street railway cars, reclaims
bogs, runs granary, utilizes clinker
and sells waste paper. All these de-
partments are managed by what is
called the Glasgow cooperation.
It is too soon to say what will De
the final outcome Of these remarkably
extensive additions to municipal Work,
and, in any case, one example does
not establish principle. But the peo.
pie of Glasgow have not as yet realized
their expectations of reaping large
profits from the system. Taxation has
increased from sl.20 to sl.62 on the
500 valuation.
The assessable rental has increased
from SIG, OOO,0o0 to s25, 900, coo, but,
in the same period, the city debt has
risen from s24. 600, 600 to s64, COO. 600: +
Profits on the street railway and
telephones have not materialized after
allowance is made for depreciation .S
Glasgow's experiences so far is moi
conclusive either way, but the city
has not made the money gains cal
culated upon. Possibly it has too many
irons in the fire. a verdict just nov
would have to be one of the ScotcH H
kind.

BARBARITY IN The MINES.
Some of The Testimony Before
Coal Strike Commission.

Scranton. Pa, December 6.-Today
the miners, having finished their at
tack on the companies mines IN the
Hazleton region, turned the attention
of the coal strike commission to the
colleries of G. B. Markle & Co, in
the same locality. The witnesses for
the Mine Workers scored what ap-
peared to be telling points with regard
to wages and other conditions prevail
ing in the mines of this Independent
company. The attorney for the COM
pany was not prepared to cross-ex-
anime the witnesses on all things they
testified to and the commission has
granted the company the privilege Of
recalling the witnesses to the stand
for the purpose of cross-questioning
them on some Of the statements made
today.
The principal witness called against
the Markles was James Gallagher,
who had worked in the Markle mines
for thirty years. He claimed that the
wages were so low that he was always
in debt to the company and that in
seventeen years he only once received
money in wages, and that was fifty
dollars. He further testified that he
had to deal at the company stores, the
only places where the miners could get
credit, and that the prices were from
10 to 20 per cent higher than in other
places. He said he has made large
wages and wiped out his debt, but the
company would then give him such
bad work that he would Immediately
oet into debt again. He was eyicted
from his house and refused work, but
he did not know why, employment
was not given him. The witness, who
is about 80 years of age, and native
of Ireland, kept the Court constantly
in good humor by his wit and sharp
answers to thrusts by the lawyers.
He said a man is never called hurt In
the mines until he his half-killed. He
was half killed twice, he said, which
brought out the reamrk from Chair
man Gray that if he was twice half
killed then he was now dead. This
caused much merriment, but it was
turned into roar Of laughter when
the witness replied that the first half
was healed before the other half was
injured.
A twelve-year old breaker boy was
called to the stand and gave testimony
that be was working at the mines to
pay off the debt incurred by his father,
who was killed in the mines eighteen
months ago. He received no pay, but
was given due bills showing how much
his mother owed the company. The
due bills also showed that the debt
his mother was incurring, such as
house rent, etc., was growing faster
than he could reduce it, as he was
only getting four cents an hour.
Unless some agreement is reached
on many of the points at issue it is
likely the hearings will run into next
month. While settlement talk is still
heard here nothing OF an authoritative
nature has come to the surface. sThere
is still a belief prevalent that an
agreement on some points will be ar
rived at before the commission is ready
TO make it's award

For some time past it has been under

learned this morning just how far behind
he is with the company rumor has it that
he owes anywhere from $500 to $4,000.
The matter is being kept as quiet as pos

New York, June I4.--The iron markets
here and the progress of the coal mine
strike in the United States is being care

crs think that il the strike is not speedily

coal but will. as consequence. bring the
iron and steel works to standsti.l. Such
contingency is necessarily not overlooked
in this country and orders on American
account are momcntarily expected. II
they come they will further stimulate the
British iron trade which is already picking
up as a result OF orders from South Africa.
Prices of stocks have advanced this
week largely on account Of resumption
of operations by an influential speculative
leader. The generally prosperous condi-
tions of the country have kept the under
tone firm, but immediate speculative activ-
ity is represed by the anthracite strike. by
the crop uncertainties and fears of a
money stringcncy incident to the July
settlement.
Time loans have been in demand during
the week, many carrying the period of crop
moving needs. This rs regarded as cvi-
dencc of an anxiety to insure against
money nurrics made possible by the exist
