MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP OF TRAMwAYs NOT
SUCCESSFUL.
Finds Much Boosted German Trans
portstion Lines Behind Those Of
America.

New York. August is A cable
dispatch to the Herald from Berlin
says Mayor Mcclellan. of New YORK.
accorded a Herald correspondent an
Interview yesterday.
II am sorry" he said. that
shall not be home to take part in
what undoubtedly will be a magnifi-
cent reception to Mr.. Bryan. but my
sailing plans will not land me in New
York until a full week after the re-
ception."
When asked about New York state
politics. and whether he wanted the
Democratic nomination for governor,
Mayor Mcclellan said:
"No. | have got enough troubles
of my own, with three and a halt
years of New York still on my hands.
Naturally. / have been looking
into municipal government in Eu-
rope. must say fail to find the
boosted superiority in Germany, OF
which we are accustomed to hear so
much In America. particularly where
the virtues on municipal operation
of street tramways are SO regularly
held up as lesson. The few exam
piles have seen are wholly bad.
Frankfort and Dresden's munlcipal-
ly-owner lines not only handle a
traffic judged nconsiderable by
American standards, but do so in
efficiently and inadequatery.
81 am more than ever convinced
municipal operation is the last des-
perate resort, to be invoked only
when private enterprise has been
tried and failed"

DETENTION
WARD AT ILLINOIS CENTRAL
HOSPITAL WILL BE BUILT.

$4,000 by Hospital Board
Yesterday.

After nearly two years OF delay
through unsatisfactory plans the de-
tention ward at the Illinois Central
railroad hospital on West Broadway
Is TO be built, and work will begin at
once. This matter was decided yes
terday afternoon at a meeting Of the
hospital board here.
The contract was awarded to the
firm OF Davis & Dunlap, composed oil
B. 7. Davis and J. Il. Dunlap, and the
cost Is to be $4,000. II will be
combination contract. a kitchen and
detention ward to be built. The pres
ent kitchen is in the middle wing OF
the building and sets under the wards

and an annex will be built. The old
kitchen will be used for washing
dishes, etc. The detention ward viii

When Mayor Yeiser and the gen
eral council get together on bust
ness proposition, wherein the public
interests are at stake, things move,
and a good example is the action Ia
ken by the committee of the whole,
Mayor Yeiser presiding. last night
Binder recent provision of the char
ter, the city may issue bonds to build
sewers and do street work and col
lect the amount assessed against the
property holders in ten annual in.
stallments. thus reimpursing the
city for the expense and relieving the
burden on the taxpayers. This ap-
peals to us as the best method for
general use. and we trust that steps
will be taken In time TO provide for
such a bond issue before the next
extension Ia to be made, as the cost
of such Improvements falls heavily
on some property owners for a time.
In the end. Of course, they must pay
for the work but the installment
plan makes II easier. while it costs
the city nothing in the long run
But this is an emergency case, VIC
are dealing with. and a bond issue
would delay operations unconscious
bly,. The health of the community Is
vitality concerned in sanitary provi-
sions for the big Washington school
building and the Illinois Central
shops, and the city is going ahead In
the proper spirit The sewer expenses
are to fall on the beneficiaries, just
as did the cost OF the other sewers
and they probably viii not object. az
all these Improvements must result,
in greatly increasing the value Of
their property. the prosperity OF
the city and the healthfulness of the
neighborhood

BLACKSMITHS GO
OUT FOR HELPERS
tcoutinued From Page one)


Blacksmiths and Helpers. but in Pa
ducah the lodges are separate. This
is why committee from both trades
was selected.
II think the men acted hastily and
do not think that President Cline, OF
the national body at Chicago, will
stand by them when the matter comes
to a show down." ne stated. 'TThe
matter was caused by a few hot heads,
and | think when cooled down the men
will see their mistake and return to
work. The road has an agreement for
arbitration of grievances and notice

Pay Car Unsatisfactory.
Railroad men in Paducah state
that the pay car Is not satisfactory
and that efforts have been made from
time to time to have the chec';s sent
BY mail. It works hardship on EN-
ployes at times. II an emplove II
III or unable to go to the pay car or Il
on duty at the time the pay master
makes his rounds, he has to wait un

The Meeting This Morning.
The blacksmiths and helpers mel
this morning and decided to appeal
to their district council at Chicago
over which the national president
presides. They want the union to
act in instructing them before any
answer Is given the railroad, ano
because OF this no result was mao
at the conference with Master Me-
chanic r. ]. Turnbull.
Master Mechanic Turnbull is a
friend of the employees and pleaded
with the strikers to appeal directly
| to the higher Illinois Central officials
course they naturally should pur'
sue. They refused to take any sucn
action until they heard from THIS
council at Chicago. The meeting wa'
adjourned pending word from Chi.
| cago.
In justice to Master Mechanic
Turnbull, by far one OF the most lib
eral officials the local shops have
ever had. a well-known Illinois Cen
trail employee stated this morning.
"If Assistant Paymaster Carrol
was in the wrong, 1t was not the
place of Mr.. Turnbull TO refuse tc
discharge the employe. Mr.. Turh
bulls position is one OF much dell
cacy. He took the. course that NJ
was supposed to take. and when NJ
discharged the helper, was not sup
posed to act as a judge. The higher
authorities are supposed to take NJ
such matters. and II the paymaster''
assistant was guilty of telling the
boilermaker helper TO Go to H.
as II is said he did. then the Illinois
Central will tolerate him Just abou
as long as It would tolerate any otn
err person who would act IN any sucf
manner"
As the matter stands the strike Il
still on and until the council al
Chicago responds with instructions
the matter will remain as 1t is.

Congress has reached the point
where it is only waiting a good
opportunity to take hand in the
coal difficulty, and from present
appearances, if there is a Con
gressional move now it will be
in the direction of compulsory
arbitration that will bear harder
on the miners than it will on the
operators. The statement of
President Dolan has created a
great deal of comment, and it
opens the question of whether
the labor unions have not gone
so far that some federal curb is
needed. The public is coming
round to the point where it feels
it has a few rights that would
like to have respected. Coal is
