GUST BOSSES
AND LABOR
UNIONS

Chicago. July 26.-"There can be no
great reform in the affairs OF American
municipalities until the political boss and
the labor union cease TO be dictators.
They are the greatest curse the United
States has TO cintend with"
This is the keynote OF James Dairy
mple's 'sfamous letter in which he reported
10 Mayor Dunno his suggestions on the
municipalization OF Chicagos street rail-
ways The much discussed epistle OF the
Scotch traction expert 10 the Mayor of
Chicago has never been made public. Tho
impression was that he had backed down
on his stand for municipal ownership. In
stead, he stands by his guns.
No such reform as tho propoEed muni-
copal traction system can be successfully
brought about where American labor
union principles find support, he declares.
adding that the same 10 true or AmeEi-
can political methods.
II have the highest regard for the
mayor OF Chicago" Dalrymple writes in
substance Yet that does not alter the
fact that the theory OF American politics
is opposed 10 public ownership. Until the
system is changed American cities can
never hope for successful mncipal owner
ship and operation OF public utilities.
This is as true OF Cleveland as OF Chi
cago-of New York and Philadelphia as
OF Cleveland"

pose. He admitted the capital OF his trm
had Increased from $4,000 10 $4,000 since

II soon became evident that Mrs. Hem
enway's counsel wanted 90 show that Mr..
Hemenway had really given moro than he
claimed TO the support OF his family last
year. This was a bit unusual as the at
tack is generally because the husband
places his figures too high. Counsel for
Mrs. Hemenway were fghting 20 secure
a bigger allowance for her during the
tendency OF the petition.
There was no dispute over tho custody
of the children. Mrs. Hemenway said

pended $500 or his family.
