EXPERT GIVES
HIS ESTIMATE

.,4g .4y
Would Cost $4,000 to Build
Wre Conduit on Main
Street.
THE PLAN AS PROPOSED
THE CITY MAY OWN THE CON-
DuIT AND CHARGE RENTAL TO
COMPANIES THAT USE 1T.

For the city to build a conduit large
enough for all the telephone, tele-
graph and electric light wires on Main
street from Fourth to- Fourteenth
streets. would mean an outlay of
about $4,000. according to conduit
expert who was in the city yesterday
consulting City Engineer Charles and
the telephone companies on the mat

McRoy Clay Works, of Chicago.
builders of conduits for high and low
tension wires. was here to assist En-
gineer Charles In making his estimate
and to give the different telephone
and light companies chance to see
what the expenditure will be. 1t has
been proposed to build Me conduit
through the business section of the
city. where the poles are most un-
slightly. and the cost, Mr.. Kirkpatrick
says. would not be less than about
$4,000 block.
In most cities, telephone companies
each build their own conduitS and
have entire charge OF them. Here, il
Is proposed to have the city in charge
renting space in the conduits to the
different companies that wish to use
them. This would mean that all
companies with wires on the stree,
would have to use the conduits, or the
effect would be lost in not getting al
the wires down.
There are many disadvantages to
this system, Mr.. Kirkpatrick says. as
the rent charged would necessarily be
so large that the companies owning
the wires could not be satisfied. Or
the other hand Ii the city charges 4
cheap rate, there will be no way te
get back the money spent in the con
struction of the conduit. High ant
low tension wires in the same TUNE
are not practicable. IL is asserted b,
telephone men and for that reason
separate conduits would have to be
built
The material proposed for use in tn,
building of the tunnel is tile, Of
burnt clay II is inexpensive as com
pared with other materials and is sale
10 last longer.
Ii the city were to cause the tele
phone companies to remove theil
wires from Main street, II would entail
a great loss to the companies, as eacl
pole and its equipment. costs abou
$45. The wire, which Is mostly iron
can never be used after 1t has beer
out In the weather for two or thre,
years. and it would be dead loss.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Given Unionists by the Pittsburg Com
moner and Glassworker.
CONTRACTS MUST BE KEPT /
The Violations of Trade Agreements
is Very Injurious to the Organ
lied Movement.

! The following extract from the
Plttsburg Commoner and Glass
worker applies to other unions as
well as those of the glass industry:
More attention should be paid
by the workers to the policy of
carrying out trade agreements en-
tered into by their representatives
and the manufacturers. The prac.
tice of laying down irons and walk
ing out of a factory is not con-
ducive to good results by any
means and should not be indulged
In by the membership. Ifthere is
dispute at a factory it has always
been found the better policy to con-
tinue ut work pending settlement
of the controversy. If this course
is not carried out by the workers
1t has the effect of placing a most
serious handicap on the efforts of
their officers.
Trade agreements should not
be violated. This is fundamen-
tai principle of trade unionism,
and every worker who has the
welfare of the organization at heart
should see that nothing is done
which would stultify the position
of the organization or its officers.
III feeling is engendercd when this
principle is not observed, and the
effect in every case is harmful to
the workers.
"When the men walk out of a
plant regardless of the rules under
which their organization is oper.
ated the position of their officers is
immcasurably weakened, conf
dence III them is very often shat
tered and matters are placed in
serious shape for the entire trade.
Above every other consideration
the individual member should
place the matter of fulfilling to the
letter working agreement entered
into in good faith with the manu-
facturers. If they fail to carry
out their part of the contract they
cannot consistently ask their en-
ployer to live up to the terms set
forth in the agreement"

ARE THEY SERFS2
The Edict of Postmaster-General
Corte1you
DESIGNS TO MUZZLE EMPLOYEES
Will Deal With Than Individually if
They Get Busy for Themselves
Would Have Open Shop.

The post office department will
not oppose organization of en-
ployes, but it will deal with them
as 1nviduals, on their merits, and
not as members of a union.
That is the substance of Post
General Cortelyou's edict, issued
by the active postmaster general,
Mr.. Shallenberger.
Fraternal and mutual beneOt or
organizations will be all right. I'm.
ions which expect to treat with the
department on behalf of employees
as a body will not be counten-
anced. Thus far the department
has had no occasion to complain of
the loyalty of employees.
More than a yea.I ago, when the
second and third class postmasters
met III convention here, the post
master general addressed them,
and outlined his views os the rela.
ton of the department to employees.
That Mr.. Cortelyou edict to en-
ployes of the post office department
will not make for the betterment of
conditions there or in the ranks of
the army oS clerks is the opinion
of prominent labor leaders in
Washington, and men who have
played no small part in outlining
labor's policy of entering politics.
1t is contended by the labor repre-
sentatives that the post office de-
partment employees are being ridden
over rough shod and gradually
every right they possess under the
constitution is being deprived them.
The consensus of opinion is that
Secretary Cortelyou had another
move to drive the laboring men out
of the political arena, which, ac-
cording to their belief, he has a
| perfect right to enter. 1t is also
pointed out that the clerks, shorn
of all their liberties and rights,
will not do their work cheerfully
or with any more good grace than
/ is absolutely necessary for him or
her to retain his or her position
under the government.
| 1t is believed that Secretary Cor
telyou'S edict is merely an echo of
President Roosevelt's order to gov
ernment employees on Jan. /, 1862,
and amended Jan. %, of the pre-
sent year, in which he stated that
the clerks and laborerS should not
present measures to congress either
directly or indirectly, under pain
of immediate dismissal. Post
master Payne issued an indentical
order to the employees in his de
partment after they succeeded in
unseating Congressman Loud OF
California, who oppose measures
which they sought to put through
congress.
