Report on City Ownership.

The investigation of public ownership
Of public utilities in Europe and this
country by the National Civic fedora
TONS commission has resulted in two
reports, one by Professor John r. Com
mons Of Wisconsin university favora-
BILE to the proposition and the other by
]. w. Sullivan Of the Clothing Trades
Bulletin disappearing. Professor Com
mons says they found the privately
owned utilities in England dividing
surplus for civic betterments because
of the prevailing tendency toward pub
lie ownership and it's example in cities
where 1t had been adopted. Many have
shrewdly arranged copartnership plans
and have recognized the labor unions.
He is convinced that the recognition Of
the unions is the safeguard against po-
litical corruption in public ownership
and that private ownership offers no
escape from politics.
Editor Sullivan says that In all but
the most poorly paid forms Of labor
public ownership has not raised wages
or improved conditions of work. He
contends that in England no street car
business has ever been private enter
prise In the sense that the word is
used in this country, thus making COM
parison with American conditions I'M
fair. Taking Syracuse, Allegheny and
Wheeling as the best samples Of Amer
lean NATURALIZATION offered, they
found conclusive evidence of political
rottenness in each case He regards it
as "a project to restrict men in their
activities by methods foreign to the
American genius"

been brought to court to give the de-
Tense chance to put him on the

Richardson early brought into his ar
gument the Roosevelt letter referring
to Haywood, Meyer and Debs as "un-
desirable citizens" and the fact that
the Standard Oil company owned the
mines and smelters in the Occur
d'Alenes, where all the trouble began.
He explained how the Pinkertons had
hired Orchard to kill Steunenberg and
others in order to involve the leaders
Of the miners union, thus departing
from the theory of Orchards personal
vengeance against the Idaho ex-gov-
ernor.
Following Richardson, Lawyer Oar
row made strong appeal for the de
fendant, indulging in many emotional
climaxes. He urged the jury not to
compromise, but to chang Haywood"
IL they thought him guilty Of such a
crime. He summed up the evidence Of
a dozen witnesses who contradicted
Orchard and asked If they could take
the word of "a cowardly, lying muir
derer against the word Of people of
good character" He added that Or
chard, If not the greatest murderer, was
the biggest liar. AS to immunity, Or
chard was already paid by having his
life prolonged in soft, comfortable
berth, and 1t was month after he
had shifted his crimes to Haywood that
he had thought of getting religion.
Mcfarland, the chief Pinkerton, he
characterized as "a lying, deceitful
scoundrel." He denounced Hawley as
a "hired CRATER" Burning words of
sympathy for the working class We're

lion willing hands would seize the
banner Of liberty by the open grave

should hang Bill Haywood. He would
not insinuate that Senator Borah was

A New Foundation Method.
The Literary Digest quotes from
foreign engineering paper the descrip-
ton OF new method of making
foundations now used in all sorts Of
conditions. 1t is known as the COM
pressol system. 1t consists in making
holes through the soft soil down to
hard pan by means Of tapering arm
which is forced down like pile driver
and then filling these holes with stones
and rubble in successive layers, each
Of which is firmly rammed down.
The result is to produce monolithic
block of great strength. No ground is
removed in the boring of the shaft,
the sides of which acquire great COM
| pactness.

American Railroads Most Deadly.

of statistics of persons killed and in

tries. This shows that the railroads

Strikes Fewer In 1905.
The twenty first annual report of the
bureau Of labor of the department of
commerce and labor shows that Ameri-
can industries suffered from fewer
strikes during 1905 than in any year
since 1892, the criterion being the num-
Der Of employees thrown out of work
and the duration of strikes. There
were 221,6S6 employees thrown out of
work during that year in connection
with 2,077 strikes, lasting the average
Of twenty-three days each. The re-
port finds that out of the total number
of strikes in twenty-five years, from
1881 to 1905. 60 per cent were ordered
by labor unions and that the greatest
number of strikes in any one industry
was in the building trades. Strikers
succeeded in winning their demands in
4S per cent Of the establishments con-
cerned and partly in 15 per cent more.
Lockouts resulted in favor of the en-
ployers In over 81 per cent of the es-
Establishments. During the quarter CEN
fury period Al per cent of all strikes
were undertaken for Increased wages
alone or In combination with other
causes, % per cent for union recogni-
ton and 10 per cent to enforce de-
mand for reduction of hours. Since
1901 6 per cent of all strikes and 12
per cent Of all lockouts We're settled by
joint agreement and 2 per cent of both
by arbitration.

costing that the Spanish-American re-

Bryan Defers Ownership Issue.

In a formal statement William J..
Bryan announces that government
ownership is not an immediate ISSUE"
as "a large majority Of the people still
hope for effective regulation" He still
believes, with many Democrats, that
public ownership of railroads Is the
ultimate solution of the problem" but
he and they recognize that regulation
must be tried under the most fayora BILE
circumstances before the masses will
be ready to try more radical rene
dy.' lie adds that regulation cannot
be sufficiently tried within the next
year and that 'there is no desire any
where to make government ownership
an issue In 1908" That, he thinks,
would give the railroads an opportuni-
ty 'to dodge the issues of regulation
and deceive the public"
Nevertheless Mr.. Bryan says that the
railroads so far have been successful
in preventing effective federal regula-
ton, While state regulation, as rule.

party, therefore, must meet the issues
by resisting "the encroachments Of the
authority of the states" and insisting
upon ''the exercise of the federal pow
