One of the most remarkable demonstrations
which have occurred in England since the riots
in the early years Of the nineteenth century
which had for their object the destruction oil

1eputation from London's unemployed to PrimieI
Balfour
The popular authorities pettioned the
prime minister to assemble parliament for
special autumn session to afford relief from
unemployment, but the premier declined to
do so, declaring that the government had
at present no proposals to make to parliament
on the subject and that to call such a special
session would only raise hopes which Il
would be impossible To fulfill" The unem

more urgent In Great Britain during the last

or Dunno and those who supported
him. but practically nothing has
been accomplished by them.
The first blow they received was
when Mr.. James Dalrymple. of Glas-
gov, Scotland, came over TO the
United States and gave it as his
opinion after making a careful in
vestigation into conditions here, that
municipal ownership could never be
a success as long as we have politics
lin fact, he did not think that mu-
nicipal ownership could ever he a
success in a republic.
Mayor Dunno then sent for Mayor
Tom Johnson. of Cleveland, Ohio,
but what Mayor Johnson said no one
has learned.
The following dispatch. however,
published in all the big dailies yes
terday. tells the story of Mayor
DUNES awakening:
Chicago, July 5.-Mayor Edward
+. Dunno told the city council to-
night his plans for municipal owner
ship of traction properties. 1t is
not municipal ownership absolutely
but, as the mayor explained, the
nearest thing possible under existing
conditions, and he asked the alder
men to consider II carefully. Abso-
lutte municipal ownership and oper-
alton, the mayor said, he does not
consider practicable just now.
The plan which the mayor offered
provides for the Incorporation of a
company, managed by five men who
command the confidence of the peo-
pie of Chicago. To this company is
10 be granted a twenty-year franchise
covering the streets in which the
rights of the old companies already
have expired or will soon expire.
1t will be stocked to the amount
necessary to establish a street car
system in these streets, roughly es-
timated at two hundred and forty
miles No bonds are to be sold.
The stock is TO be deposited with
a trust company, which the five d.
rectors are to select, so as to pre-
vent purchase of II and consequent
control by outside interests.
The stock Is TO be sold at popular
subscription.
AT any time the city may select II
