There was not much done in the common
stock of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company at today's meeting Of the
stock exchange. but. In spite Of that fact.
the best sale recorded today was nearly a

recorded in the transactions Of yesterday.

usual effect OF bringing out stock that II

are awaiting the progress to higher level
or else there Is belief that better prices
are likely to be reached in the near future.
At any rate there was no general trading
today and the market was a limited one in
the sense that buyers and sellers were not
in evidence In numbers At the close the
bid was AN with no Offering.
There were some changes made In the
flguses IN the bank stock list. but there was
no trading.
Some sales Of the stock of the Union
Trust Company were made and the last
quotation lot OF ten shares went for 139.
The bid then was a quarter OF point below
that level
Owing presumably to the fact that the
annual elections Of officers was to be held
at the close of the call. the attendance was
somewhat larger than usual. However. that
did not contribute to the volume OF the
trading and in fact, the general PARTICLE
ton was less than is usually the case.

Temple. The polls will be open from
3 until p. m. Ballots will be mailed
to out-of town members and 1t Is ex-
pected that the full membership will
comply with the international law
which compels them to vote at inter-
national elections.
Added interest is given the contest
locally for the reason that e. G. Hall,
financial and corresponding secretary
of No. II, Is a candidate for the office
of seventh vice president. Mr.. Hall
heads the list of nominees on the tick
ct, and his chances for election are
said by his friends to be excellent.
MIR. Hall is well known in the north
west among the cigarmakers, all Of
whom are actively pushing his candi-
dacy.
Nearly all of the present internation-
al officers are out for reelection.
There are three candidates for presi-
dent: George w. Perkins, who now
holds the office and who was placed

THE EBUFFAI WA J.

Determined Effort: Of tho Rsfsrandum
League to Protect tho Public. J.:
The Referendum League of Buffalo
has formally filed charges against the
Loard Of park commissioners for neg
lect of duty and vplations Of the city
charter. 1t apears the commission at
tempted to make grant to the Inter-
national railway in Fillmore avenue,
until enjoined by the court. The totally
inadequate compensation Of $4,000 q
year for the last 20 years of the life OF
the grant and the refusal to hear evi-
dence Of Its value are cited as reason
for their removal. The common coun-
Gil, preceding the present one, granted
a franchise for this railroad just before
retiring from office and the Injunction.
against the park commissioners Is an
attempt by the league to protect the
public from having the public highways
donated to corporations without due
compensation.
AS the people of Buffalo voted by
large majority for the municipal
ownership ticket and as the new city
council is pledged for the Referendum
system this bold attempt to .orestall
proper action for the protection OF the
public by the old boss ruled council
and the park commission has raised q
storm of protest that cannot be quieted.
The corrupt legislature of the state
last year refused to give the citizens
o. Buffalo the right to petition for a.
Referendum vote on public franchises
so they proceeded to protect themselves
by questioning their candidates for the
legislature and the city council and by
a large majority elected mayor and
representatives in both the state and
city who were pledged for the Advis-
ory Referendum and Advisory Initia-
tive.
1ntrenched monopoly and greed are
difficult to overthrow but when the
people re aroused and have leaders who
are fearless the corporations and their
allies, the grafters are soon put out of
business. The successful effort in
Buffalo for reform under the most dis
advantageous circumstances should
cheer the hearts of reformers every
where, however dark the outlook. All
that is needed is Referendum League
or similar association of honest citizens
who are determined on a government
by the people, instead of a ring OF
grating politicians for themselves and
the corporations.

Labor unions are organized for the

masses Of the people, ana their inter-

wise,
Baltimore Labor Leader.)

(Balt1m0re Labor Leader.)
There is quite discussion. Of late
in regard to the open shop. The
open shop is an impossibility. We
cannot think of such thing and be
union men. With the open shop
comes cut in wages and a falling
of of membership Of the union or
ganizations. Why should it be other
wise? Is it fair for one man to be
paying hard-earned money to better
his condition and an unfair workman
to receive the benefit without paying
for it? If union mon wish to better
their condition they must make their
demands collectively. They cannot
successfully do so individually.
II a man should withdraw from his
union and go to work inSa factory
which in an open shop and an acci-
dent should happen to him--if he
should be killed or maimed for life
he would be kicked to one side and
thought no more Of. There would
be no helping hand reached out to
lend him assistance like there would
have been had he stood true to his
union. AS an illustration of this I
will refer to the two mine explosions
that occurred early last spring. One
was in Alabama. a union or closed
shop mine. The echo of this ex-
plosion had hardly died away before
there was movement on foot to
raise 100000 for the relief of the
widows and orphans. In the same
week there was another explosion
in a mine at Bluefelds, w. Va, an

did they receive? Simply nothing.
They were thrown upon the mercies
of the world. Now, who were the
most charitable, who were the most
Christ-like, the union or the open
shop advocates?
This shows tho greed and selfish
ness of the Citizens Alliance. What
do they care for the lives of score
or more miners? They can go to their
comfortable homes ana gather their
families about them; they are all
safe. What do they care for the
widow and orphans? Their children
are all nicely dressed, their tables
are :groaning under. aa1old OF sgood

This Is one illustration of the Citi-
zens' Alliance. There are others. We
hear Of them very often OF late where
business men have been persuaded to
join these so-calle ed liberty -organiza-
ttons with the promise that they
would be supported by them in their
business, but instead Of support they
got the knife in the back until their
bushes: was ruined or nearly so.
Then they returned like the prodigal
son. They came back to the men
whom they know to have principles
and are not afraid to stand by them.
The union men are pleased with
the resolutions adopted by the Pres
byterian church. We wish every
other denomination would do the
same thing. That is what we want.
Let them appoint committees to in
vestigate the unions. Let them ap-
point committees to Investigate the
Citizens Alliance.

President Perkins Is correct or not that
the longevity just noted is the result Of
the shorter workday, the facts are
