tlcally where they dId when the contest

nearly all the void and protested bal

passed by vote Of "a to 2. The pur.
chase price was in the neighborhood of
100000. The city Immediately re-
duced the price of gas from Is to 20
cents a thousand cubic feet, and the
wisdom Of Mr.. Chamberlain policy
was shown in profits of $4,000 for the
first year. Since then the rates have
steadily been reduced until they now
stand at so cents, and at this low rate
last years profits exceeded $2S0,000
after setting aside large sum for
sinking and depreciation.
The tangible result of the public
ownership of gas works in Birmingham
is best shown by the fact that since
their purchase there has been turned
into the city treasury from gas rev.
enues the sum of $5,000,000, with an
extra $3,500,000 paid to the sinking
fund, and the further fact that during
these years the price paid for gas has
averaged One-third less than that
charged by the private company. The
reduction in the expense of city light
ing amounts to $1,250,OO0. The hun
dreds of men employed in the works
receive higher wages and work fewer
hours than formerly, and it is worthy
of note that the record of tests and the
evidence of consumers prove that a
much better quality of gas is supplied
now than before the city assumed con-
troll.
The municipal gas monopoly is COM
plete, but there are no complaints, and
l heard of no scandals. Owing to the
high price of coal the cost of produc-
ton is much greater than in the Unit
ed States, but the gas is sold for half
as much, with large and increasing
revenue to the city. When the bonds
are all paid and the city becomes the
absolute owner OF the property the
price will be yet further reduced. In
the meantime the profits will have
more than paid the cost of the plant.
The gross profits last year we're
nearly 100000, and were it not that
large sums had to be diverted to inter
est and sinking fund payments and to
the assistance Of the taxpayers it
would be possible today, even with the
abnormal price of materials, to pro-
duce and sell gas at less than 40 cents
a thousand feet and leave handsome
profit. There is no theory about this.
It is being done on an enormous scale
in one of the worlds largest cities.

enterprise In which Birmingham Il
engaged. The city maintains q COM
prehensive system Of baths, ranging
from open air baths for the poorer
classes to modern Turkish baths. The
income amounts to $4,000 year. The
city burial board has charge of ceme-
teries in which 1000 were inferred
last year. 1t is the policy of the board
to so conduct this estate as to make
it self sustaining, and successive years
show alternating profits and losses in
small amounts.
Four years ago Birmingham pur-
chased the electric light and power
plant, paying the owners of the fran
chise more than 100000. For the
first two years the new management
made SO many improvements that
there was a slight deficit, but the
third year yielded a profit, and the
last annual report indicated net gain
of $4,000, which went into the COM
mon treasury. The city owns its mar
kets, and they are a source of rev.
enue. Birmingham is a farmer on
large scale. The municipal farm COM
prises 1000 acres, and 1000 more are
about to be added. This land is fer
tilted by the sewage and is largely
devoted to cattle raising and dairy
business. There are also immense
herds of sheep which belong to the
city. There are filtration works and a
plant for handling the byproducts, and
these, with the farm, represent an in
vestment of about $2,50O,000. The last
report shows that the annual sales OF
stock amount to $4,000, while $4,000
is realized from milk and about as
much from wool. By these scientific
methods the cost of disposing OF sew
age is materially reduced.

ton of Joseph Chamberlain, paying So

pect commission chosen in that way

wouldn't be board of anarchists.
They would be fair, men who would
have no desire to make an attack upon
the railroad properties and securities
of this country.
Declares He Has Been Just
IT have been accused of unjust hos
pitality to railroads. / am not con-
scious of any such feeling. When Mr..
Hill builds railroad from Lake SUI
perior to Puget sound he is a public
benefactor. He doesn't do it for that
motive. He does it to make money,
but the result is none the less pub
lie benefaction which should be en-
cOuraged, and for which he should
have just reward.
Mr.. Hill has said before our COM
mission he would be satisfied to have
z per cent from his Investment, and
while that is large average return
than is obtained from property in the
United States, ! would not object If Mr..
Hill did get per cent, but he wants
to get per cent on every dollar that
actually goes into the railroads, and
when he asks for per cent which Is
absorbed from the ambient atmosphere
! do object.
There comes a time when talk will
not suffice. 1t will be necessary to do
something. think that time has come
Kansas has spoken. Minnesota has
spoken. Chicago has spoken. If you
want that sort of talk to continue, just
! continue treating the trusts and mo-
nopolies as they have been treated for
the last ten years. The time has come
when this country must choose be-
tween regulation and socialism.

the right thing will be accomplished. !"
Judge Peter s. Grosscup, second

ance of the subject of railroad regula-

LABOR MEN AFTER SHINN.
New Jersey state Senator 10 Accused o.
Thwarting Labor Legislation.

ThwArt1n6 LABOR IIekDlatiOn.
TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 2l.-The State
Federation of Labor has declared war
to the limit on State Senator George B.
Shinn Of Ocean county. This was made
public to-day at the opening session Of
the organizations annual convention, held
In the Assembly chamber at the State
House. The attack on the Senator was
made in the annual address OF the fedora
ton president, Cornelius Ford OF Hoboken.
Mr.. Ford charges that in his capacity
a. chairman of the Senate Committee on
Labor and Industries Senator Shinn held
I'D bills favored by the union labor leaders,
and in this way kept the measures from
becoming laws. So bitter was the feeling
Of the federation against Senator Shinn
that last fall. when he was a candidate for
reelection, men were sent to Ocean county
to bring about his defeat. This plan,
however, proved q failure, and now an
effort il to be made to keep him OF the
labor committee Of the coming session.
The federation will pay much attention
this year to the subject Of Sonyiot labor
with DR.. Wright, the State Commissioners
OF Charities and Corrections, In an effort
to bring about reforms in the employment
Of convicts on work In direct competition
with union labor.
Stokes, has been innuirlng into this matter
and certain changes are to be made In the
working plans at the State prison and at the
Railwsy Reformatory. 1t was to get the
views OF the laboring men that D.. Wright
asked for the appointment Of this COM
mittee.

box and noticed it contained guncotton.
The other end was pried on and similar
material with sprinkling OF black powder
was found there. The lid was removed
without disturbing the contents Of the box.

were fastened at intervals was 80 arranged

are in Capt. O'Reilly's precinct many busi-
