that the floods occurred in the daytime.
otherwise the loss of life would have
been heavy.

R0ASTS LABOR UNIONS.
Say; They Fulfill All Requirements of the
Definition of MobOcracy

Chautauqua, Aug. I'D. M. Parry,
president of the National Association
of Manufacturers, delivered an address
today on Mob Spirit in America" He
said in part: I'm this country in the
last year there have been many mobs
of different kinds but to my mind the
most dangerous of them is a mob of or
ganized labor. No man can object to
any kind of association, labor or other
wise, which is organized for lawful and
beneficent purposes, but organized Ia
Dor as it is conducted today stands con-
victed by it's own leaders as lawless
organizations, in that it seeks by rEy-
sical force to override individual rights
and it is continually railing against the
laws and denouncing the courts and
public officials for enforcing these laws.
1t fulfills all the requirements of the
definition of mobocracy."

when nearly all of the prominent bust
ness men of the city We're invited tC
meet Colonel Joseph G. Bonner of Bon.
ner & Co., bankers, Toledo, Ohio, and
to discuss the plans proposed for the
financing of the company. The result
of the conference was most encourag-
ing to those in charge and a most lib
eral response was made to the appeal
for local subscriptions. AS it is there
was subscribed at the meeting $54, 400
and the disposition on the part of prac-
tically all of those present was that a
little time be given to think the matter
over and then the question would be
more one of the amount of support to
be given. AS the situation now APP
pears there will be comparatively little
difficulty experienced in raising the
necessary amount that those having the
financing of the company in charge ask
as a visible evidence that the Capital
Light and Power Company is assured
of local support. OF the amount VI
$4,000 local subscriptions, the CITIES of
Santa Fe and Las Vegas are asked to
pledge themselves for one-half each,
which means the two cities will have
to raise between them $4,000. From
the present indications this city will
furnish it's half Of the sum asked.
Local aid in the matter of subscrip-
tions is asked by the Toledo capitalists
who will finance the company and ham
die the bonds and who have already
and paid in cash into the
treasury of the company the sum of
$50, ,O00 for the purpose of showing to
capitalists and such as may desire to
invest in the bonds of the company that
the proposition meets with local sup
port and has the confidence and good
will of the citizens of the two towns
mostly interested, namely Santa Fe and
Las Vegas.
At the meeting yesterday Colonel
Bonner explained that the capitalists of
eastern cities whom he represented do
not regard this raising of the amount
asked by local subscriptions so much in
the light of a financial proposition as
they do an evidence Of local support,
and unless the scheme is to be given
that support they do not care to handle
The matter.

Bonner in the course of his remarks to

ocal support in this matter that they

ion in the financial centers today Is
lot so much as to what is the good
hing as it is which Of the many good
faings offered shall we take? Now
coming back to this local proposition
hese gentlemen stated that it would
,e necessary for the cities Of Santa Fe

and as an evidence to subscribe at least
half Of the $4,000 necessary to the be-
ginning of this undertaking. This
would mean that Santa Fe would be
expected to put up about $12, 500 as hel
share.

great oppt rtunity and I will not say

ask IS that ou of these cities show
your faith ii your disposition to sup
port the pr -ion. They would pre-
fer t'iat thu interests control the
company and tnat the management be
given to you. You are here on the
ground and that is the advantage. But
what is insisted upon by these parties
is that minimum subscription of at
least half of the $4,000 be made in the
cities of Santa Fe and Las Vegas.
Colonel Bonner was then questioned
as to the details, of the plan proposed
for the financing of the company and
exnlaia. 4 these points. There was
quite i deal of interest manifested
tN&ot&h the meeting. At it's conclusion
subscriptions were asked for and the
sum Of $4.4O0 locally was then and there
pledged. There were a number of those
present who signified their intention Of
taking stock when they had thought
the matter over and consulted their
partners with whom they are associat-
ed. Taking all in all the outlook for
the new company is very promising.
The company proposes to develop a
force of 5000 horsepower for the pur-
pose of generating electric power and
light to be used for manufacturing.
and railroad purposes. The
value of a single horsepower per year
is estimated at $12O. Therefore, 5000
horsepower in one year represents the
value of $60O,00O; deduct therefrom, at

which commercially will be worth
