He does not say what he would advise

and there were no private companies.
Built in 1885, the construction cost OF
Easton's electric light plant to date
has been about $4,000. In a summary

appears originally to have favored the

According to a special to the New

not considered safe on Easton's streets
at night, and sixty firms and business
men have petitioned that the street
lighting be turned over to a private
corporation at once.

Public Service is not humorous
publication, but there were some fun
ny items in its December issue. Com
menting on the proposition OF the
Business Mems club of Cincinnati that

The mayor Of Button, Ind, is more
subtly humorous. He advocates mu-
nicipal ownership as an antidote for
monopoly and then vetoes fran
chise for a gas plant because 1t would
compete with the municipal electric
light works and probably would re-
duce the city's $4,000 plant to mass

tacit admission that the consumers are

take, and they did not stop until the

union MEN AND

Quit Work on His Jobs In
Lewiston and Also In
Charleston

A dispute between the labor unions
and Contractor L. ]. Dubray has re-
suited in the union men quitting work
upon the M E. church in Lewiston,
the school house at Asotin and Mr..
Dublay making a call for non union
men with which to continue his con-
tracts.
Mr.. Dubray is engaged in work
amounting to $4S,OOO. The terms of
his contracts require the work to be
completed within five months.
It's Prejudice, Says Dubray.
"The trouble is entirely the result
of prejudice" said Mr.. Dubray today.
"Until today 1 have never given en-
ployment to any but union men, and
regret very much to be compelled to
take this step now. I have paid from
% to so cents more than the union
scale, but when commenced the work
at Asotin l was told by the Lewiston
union men that I would not be able to
get the brick and stone work done for
less than So or SO per day.
L llCu sent W opohctiiN anu SVNui N'A
number of union men to perform the
work and since that time there has
been trouble in the local union ranks.
"a meeting was held last night when
such pressure was brought upon the
men employed by me that they decided
to quit and was compelled to resort
to non union men with which to con-
tinue the contracts.
"An effort was made to extend the
union trouble into all departments OF
the work. and several teamsters quit
this morning on this account. When
we commenced work today told all
Of the men that would run my work
from this time and all that wanted to
walk out should do so at this time
'T am working todav. however with
27 non -union men and find that will
be able to fiji all departments with the
most eficient labor that is free from
any labor organizations"
