"PUBLIC CONTROL
is INEVITABLE"
GEORGE, ROBERTS ADDRESSES
lOWANS
Enlargement of Government Functions
Is Topic of Former Mint Dl-
rector, Now Chicago
Banker
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
ESTHERVILLE, Iowa, Aug 8. -
George Roberts, former director of the
mint, was the principal speaker at to-
nights joint session of the Upper Des
Moines and Editorial associations.
Roberts is now president of the Com
mercial National bank of Chicago. He
discussed the tendency to enlarge govern
mental functions He said in part:
1.-THE new Federal railway legislation
and the public utilities act of New York
embody a sound public policy. The public
control of monopolies whose services are
necessary to the community is inevita-
Bile.
There must be a broad and popular
market, such as only general confidence
can give, to absorb the never ending
stream of new securities The amounts
drawn from properties in dividends from
year to year is small compared with the
amount of new capital required to keep
their facilities up to the expanding needs
of the country.
"It is obvious that unless this proposed
regulation prove in practice to be rea-
sonably acceptable to the investing pub
lie, capital will turn into other channels,
with resulting injury to the public enor-
mously more serious than any prob
able loss to security holders.

Miller Coming
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. ST.. N. Miller,
assistant general superintendent of the
western division of the Western Union,
said today that he would probably leave
for Los Angeles tomorrow.
''The union men are smarting under the
defeat suffered in the recent strike here
and ever since have endeavored to make
it as uncomfortable lie as possible for the
operators who remained loyal to u.s. said
Mr. Miller. Operator Ryan was dis
charged in the Los Angeles Office because
he had insulted Mrs. Sadie Nichols, one
of the operators in the Oakland office who
remained at work during the strike, and
also for maliciously delaying business.
We have had to discharge one or two
operators here for the same cause"
Mr.. Miller said while the Wsetern Union
had never indirectly or directly recog-
nized the teegraphers' union, the COM

belonging to the organization, but had
given the operators to understand that the
company meant to run its own business.
The action of the men at Los Angeles,
said he, was as unjustifiable as that of
the operators in declaring the strike here
several weeks ago, stating the officials
were always ready to listen to the griev-
ances of the employees.
Asked If he thought there was any like
lihood that the strike would extend to
other cities Superintendent Miller said, Il
do not think so al.er the lesson that the
operators learned in the strike here"
1--WE are not smarting and were not de-
feated," said an operator when shown Mr..
Millers statements
"If they call their broken faith defeat
then let them claim it. We won great
victory in San Francisco. Miller knows
that he and his understrappers are doing
all they can to violate our signed agree
ment with the company
Let me warn him and other Western
Union officials that the signature of a
United States official is on that agreement
and the government has promised to see
that we get a square deal, Broken faith
at San Francisco. brutal tactics in har-
assing Los Angeles men; determination
to goad us to desperation are the causes
of this strike. The whole country may
yet be involved We will fight to the last

The grip IS not simply a bad cold,
and this fact is worth knowing. 1t re-
sembles a cold in some respects, and
colds are often wrongly diagnosed by
the victims as grip. The grip is a
malady which has laws of its own,
both as to origin and progress after
development. According to the doctors,
it must run it's course-"there is no
special remedy that can directly de-
stroy the infection, no drug that can
