GIVES REASONS
FOR Auto" LINES
General Harl,ies Writes to
Commissioner Biddle.
FEEDERS FOR STREET CARS
Not Regarded as Profitable PROPOSE
ton, But One IN Public's
Interest.

Gen George H. HarrieS, vice presl-
dent Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, in a letter to Engi-
neer Commissioner Biddle today, out
lined his company's reasons for asking
a franchise to operate automobile lines
within the District. He was asked by
Colonel Biddle to make a statement
General Harries declares the purpose
of the company to be merely to operate
automobiles where they will serve as
feeders to the street railroad lines.
Routes Outlined.
Our immediate purpose is to operate
a crosstown line from the vicinity of
the conjunction of New York avenue and
2 street northeast. along P street to
Dupont circle. returning by the same
route, and the operation also Of line
from Eleventh and G streets southeast,
up Eleventh street and Maryland ave-
nue. to the vicinity Of Fifteenth and H
streets northeast, returning by the same
route.
No other route has yet been definite
~ outlined, but others may from time
to time develop and as they may the
company would organize and develop
them.
Objection Answered.
$50 far as I am aware only one OBJ
lection has developed With reference
to the bill and that was your own,
touching the breadth of the measure
with reference to the streets to be oc-
cupied. Inasmuch as wheeled vehicles
may be occupied upon any of the streets.
avenues, alleys. or highways Of the Dis
trict of Columbia. and remembering
that no individual or corporation is go
ing to the expense of organizing and
equipping a line unless there is a public
demand for it. there is, in my opinion,
ne ground for apprehension as TO street
occupation: as a matter OF fact there is
no occupation of street more than is
common TO milk wagons or grocery
wagons. or express wagons, or anytflis1g
else operated by those engaged in bust
ness IN the city
Commercially Practicable"
I'VE expect the vehicles will have to
be commercially practicable, and will
therefore be much smaller and lighter
of Washington. We expect ours to have
seating capacity for about twenty-fou1
people and be operated by electric stor-
age batteries.
THE measure is not viewed by us il
any sense as a profitable proposition
but is regarded as in the public interest
and as being an excellent and altogeth-

NO TRAMPs IN GERMANY,

To-day the lot of the laboring man
in Germany is in many respects better
than that of ours. The German State
recognizes the right of every man to
nve.-wo do not When the German
laborer becomes old and feeble the
States pensions him honorably. In
Germany the laboring man can ride on
the electric cars for two cents-we pay
five. German cities have public baths,
public laundry establishments, big
parks, free concerts and many other
features which soften poverty-al-
though they do not remove it. The
corollary to this is that the Emperor
permits no tramps to terrorize his
highways. The police are organized
for rural patrol as we'll as city work,
and every loafer is stopped and made
to give an account of himself. In Eng
land vagrancy has been a public NUS
sance for generations--with US it has
become, of late years, almost a public
danger. Germany has no tramps. The
man who is without work in Germany
finds no inducement to remain idle. A
paternal government sets him to such
hard work that the would-be unem-
ployed finds it decidedly to his interest
to seek some other employment as soon
as possibls.-National Magaxino.

the political influence las heretofore,
must be exerted by a body which con-
sists OF all the unions. Moreover, the
future success Of the trade unions will
depend in large measure upon the sue
cess with which the unskilled work.
men are organized.
The recent meeting of the Federation
In San Francisco seemed to be sobered
by a sense OF responsibility, and it was
marked by stronger spirit Of good
will and amity than ever before. In
the oncoming struggle with antagonis-
tic associations Of manufacturers, the
mionists may be overmatched in mon
ey and in expert skill, but they will
not be outdone in enthusiasm and IN
compactness OF Organization The
threatened attacks from aggressive as
soc!ations Of employers may, therefore,
not in1probab bly,. mean the strengthen
ing of the very spirit Of .unionism
which is assatled and the growth Of
harmonious interaction among the
onions.
Labor's Ooutlook for 1905,
With the advent Of the new year,
therefore, the unions find themselves
In a position that may be called seri-
GUS, but certainly not perilous. The
unions as a whole have survived the
attacks and defeats of the past year
with little Or no loss of membership
In TACT, 1T is claimed, upon the basis
of the per capita tax Of the Federation,
that the membership has largely in
creased. The older and more complete
ly organized unions have more than
held their own during the recent de-
preston, and even the newer unions
with their looser organization, have
successfully held together despite the
attacks Of the employers associations.
The attempt to obtain federal legisla-
ton shortening the hours of labor upon
government contracts and abolishing
the use Of the injunction in labor dis
putes met with defeat, but the whole
body of unionists has been encouraged
by the political successes in Massa-
Chusetts and Colorado, and in the COM
ing year the campaign for federal and
state legislation favorable to labor will
be taken up with renewed vigor.>.
Upon the whole, the unions have suf-
fered little from their opponents at
tacks. Even where they have lost in
members, they have gained in a sober
determination to achieve their ends.
Better organized, better financed, bet
ter disciplined, taught by the united
opposition Of associations Of employ
ers, the unions will enter the new year
stronger than ever, ready to employ
more theoretically than before the
tried policies which have enabled them
to bring together in homogeneous
groups a majority Of the workers in
most of the important industries of
the country.

DIRECT LEGISLATION IN MINNIE
sofa.

Next week in the state legislature
bill will be introduced which is designed
to pave the way for the advisory in
itiative and the advisory referendum
In Minnesota state affairs. The ad-
visory plan is being urged at this time
because it Is much easier to secure
than constitutional amendment So
soon as the people become thoroughly
familiar with the advisory plan it will
then be decidedly easy to get it in
shape for constitutional amendment.
This is a measure that should re-
ceive the unqualified endorsement of
every man in the reform movement of
this state. It is conceded by every
person who has watched the progress
of reform that but little relief can be
expected from the present law max
ing method.
Legislators who have not a clear idea
on economics too often destroy merit
orious measures by injecting something
into them that renders them practically
valueless. This has, been found true
in our primary election law.
Cities desiring home rule and the
right to build or acquire public utilities
will find that nothing can be done un,
til the initiative and referendum is
first secured.
Corporations may by legislatures and
prevent the passage Of commendable
legislation, but they will find ii a diff
f1cult task to purchase a majority OF
the people of this commonwealth.
With a clean cut initiative and refer
endum the coast will have been made
clear for true progress in reform.
Through the influence Of the cor
porations over the courts, con-
gress and the legislatures it will be
next to impossible to make this coun-
try greater Democracy than it now
is, unless some such system as Direct
legislation is adopted. Direct legis-
lation means the sovereignty of the
people, and it's adoption will sound the
death knell of special privileges and
corporate rule in public affairs.

COLORADO FURNISHING PRECE
DENTS.

It now developes that the whole
contest in Colorado is conferred in the
appointment Of two judges of the
Supreme court. Governor Peabody was
permitted to hold over just long enough
to make these appointments. The two
factions in the Republican party Of the
Centennial state agreed upon the ap-
pointees, and after this was done Alva
Adams was inaugurated Governor Of
the state.
The corporations wanted control of
the Supreme court. This has been the
secret of their struggle during the
whole campaign. To secure their prec-
ious prize they were willing to thwart
the will of the people, destroy free
government and build for themselves
q capitalistic government within the
borders of the state, which would equal
an absolute monarchy Of the most
pronounced type.
The labor organizations have long
believed that the courts were being
used for corporate influences to serve
their predatory purposes. The action
Of the mine owners in Colorado only
tends to bear out the suspicious of la
Dor. Some day they may find them
selves up against a Socialist Supreme
Court and a Socialist Governor. What
will they then think of the methods
for which they are making precedents
by wholesale? Suppose, for instance,
that Socialist Supreme Court should
order the mine-owners to pay double
wages, and order their mines confiscat-
ed as a penalty for contempt" of the
order? Such a proceeding would be as
legal as the crime against civil govern
ment which is now being consummated
by the class government of the mine
owners. 1t may seem to them now tc
be "shrewd" to steal the military
power of the state government, and that
is what their high-handed crime is
for; but they should not forget that
in America, it is the rich who have
most to lose by the loss of respect fol
law and lawful methods. With that
respect once fairly out of the mind Of
the mass of men, We may expect re.
distribution Of property by arbotrary
methods as often as inequality ap.

POL TICS AND
" POLITICIANS

In labor circles the principal polit-
ical contest is that Of factory inspect
or. The time is near at hand when
Governor johnson will announce his
appointees in the Bureau Of Labor. J.
G. O'Neil the union labor candidate
from Duluth is making great fight
for the appointment He has met with
several set backs from designing
politicians who are willing to throw Or
ganized labor to pay few Of their own
political debts.
Until last Saturday there were but
three candidates for this position,
Joseph Nylander, a. non-union engineer,
Gordon ONein and Emil HUM. Until
then it was thought that the honor
would fall to one Of these three men,
but politicians saw that for each ap-
pointment to be made by the Governor
for this portion Of the state. one can
didate had an Irish name, and the
other Scandinavian name. Fred
Ryan, Irish, has been appointed
Surveyor General of Logs and Lumber
The other positions to be filled are, oil
inspector. dairy and food inspector and
factory inspector. A. c. Weiss, the
political representative Of the Johnson
regime, wants Harris Bennett appoint
ed dairy and food inspector. AS it is
generally understood that Mr.. Weiss
can have anything he goes after this
will leave but two appointments to
fight over. For oil inspector Mike
Lynch Of the fourth ward and o. A.
Anderson of the West End, are the
candidates. Mr.. Lynch is backed by
]. L. Travers, Paddy Mcdonnell, Port
er ]. Neff and some others. Mr.. An
derson has the endorsement of the
strongest Scand1navians in the West
End. For factory inspector the two
leading candidates are Gordon O'Neill
and Joseph Nylander. Botn have strong
endorsements. Mr.. Nylander Is con-
sidered out of the race on account of
his attitude towards union labor, and
it would seem that MIR. ONeill had
clear road before him.
I.ynch's friends were not slow in ap-
preciating the fact that. the dropping
out OF Nylander would be a death blow
to their candidate. One of these Of
fices must go to a Scandinavian they
reasoned, and as O'Neill was the only
union candidate for factory inspector
he would be sure to land it. They inn
mediately got busy, at least one of
