A Missoula dispatch is to the effect
that out on the coast the lumber COM
bines have boosted the price of lum-
ber 81 per thousand, ties 81. lath 25
cents a thousand. The only kind of
lumber that is now cheap is the kind
that working class blockheads are
made of. 1t is so plentiful no one can
get a corner on it. An alleged reason
for the raise is the high wages paid

Conversion
Dunne'S Commissioner of Public Works
Comes Out for SOCialiSm...SayS
Reforms Are Skin Deep.

Chicago, March 2.-Commissioner Of
Public Works Joseph Medill Patterson
has rendered his resignation to Mayor
Dunno. The resignation was sent by
Mr.. Patterson to Mayor Dunno Wednes-
day. Nothing was publicly known of
the resignation, however, until copy
mailed by Mr.. Patterson at Washing
ton was received by the City Press as
sociation here.
Writes Dunno.
The letter written by Mr.. Patterson
to Mayor Dunno in part follows:
at was through a common belief in
the cause of municipal ownership of
municipal utilities that first became
acquainted with you and in this letter
Of resignation / desire TO express pub
hely just how my views on this sub
jeet have been changed.
Enlarged Views
They have not diminished They
have enlarged. i used to believe that
many of the ills under which the ma
tion suffers and by which il is threat.
ened would be prevented or avoided
by the general Inauguration of public
ownership of public utilities. But my
experience in the department of public
works has convinced me that this
policy would not be even onefourth of
the way sufficient.
Don't Help Poor.
Mr.. Patterson then cites the cases Of
Great Britain and Germany. In the
former country, he declares, where mu-
nicipal ownership has been successfully
developed, the problem of the unem-
ployed is becoming Of tremendous in
tensity. In Germany, where govern
ment ownership Of railroads has been
inaugurated and municipal ownership
Of public utilities is paramount, the
Door are growing poorer and the rich
are growing richer, with an accelera-
tion hardly less than that so evident in
the United States.

He then calls the attention Of the
mayor TO two cases in this city where
two large corporations have attempted,
as he says, to override the law. The
letter concludes as follows:
Common Ownership.

Mayor Dunno at once wrote Mr.. Pat
terson. accepting his resignation and
promising to reply to his letter in the
near future.
Dunno Regretful.

Mr. Patterson with sincere regrets, ~
said the mayor. "He says he has re-

him TO resign. Because he cannot ac-

lists Takes Action Preventing
War.

While war clouds are lowering over
Europe, while a universal pessimism
prevails on account of the arrogant at.
titude of Germany's bellieose mon
arch, while armies and fleets are being
mobilized and hurried to and fro, a
great CLEAN of promise breaks through
the clouds in the shape of the latest
move of the international Socialist
movement, which is to link together
the brotherhood of labor to prevent
human mass-murder henceforward for
ever on this planet. Once the great
peace movement is launched no nation
can go to war on pain of having its
industries paralyzed and its transpor-
tation facilities tied up by the united
workmen of the world. Here is the
press dispatch telling of the event.
