HIGH-PRICED WATER FRONT
New York Asked $685., 626 for What
Is Assessed at S1.246.OOO

NEW y JRK. September 2S.-At yester-
days meeting of the board of estimates
President Coler of Brooklyn objected to a
resolution appropriating $l0,O0O0OO for the
dock department for the waterfront i'm
provements in South Brooklyn. OF this
amount Sc. 6o5 626 was for purchase Of the
w>.er-front property. 1t was brought out
that while the sinking fund commission
had agreed to the price the assessed valua-
ton of the land is only $1.246,OOO. The
city under condemnation proceedings has
acquired land for the South Brooklyn dock
improvements at SO cents square foot,
but the proposed rate for the rest Of lne
ground needed by the city Is $1.1O.
1t was explained that since the city first
began to purchase in South Brooklyn prop
erty values have greatly increased. The
price ought to be lower or the assessment
higher" said Mr.. Coler. The matter was
laid over for a week.

Daily Life GlOrihed.

Last Sunday morning in unnum-
bered churches throughout the land
stood simple table and upon IL
bread and wine. Men were partak-
ing OF the Lords Supper. Christ had
touched commonplace things and
made them holy. Most memorials
are evidence OF striving after the un-
common as the worthy 49, the tomb
upon the mountain-top, the obelisk,
the pyramid, the vast building or the
great institution. Not least OF the
lesser lessons taught by that simple
meal Is the worth of common things.
There is no meal but may be made an
hour Of thanksgiving, no honest toll
that cannot become worship, no

LABOR TO FIGHT.
Gompers Says Manufacturers Sought
to Delay Criminal Action.

Washington, ID. C.-The Injunction
proceeding brought in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia
against the officers of the American
Federation of Labor by the National
Manufacturers Association will be
answered by a conspiracy suit from
the labor organizations against the
Manufacturers Association. The au-
thority for this statement Is Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers, of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, who said
that he was authorized TO instruct the
attorneys of his organization to pre-
pare the papers In the action.
Another development in the con-
test between organized labor and the
Manufacturers Association is likely
to be an application to the Postoffice
Department for a fraud order against
the American Federationist. This is
the organ of the American Federation
of Labor that prints the unfair list"
against which an injunction is sought
by the Manufacturers Association.
Daniel Davenport, of Bridgeport,
Conn. one of the attorneys of the
Manufacturers Association, took
steps 10 bring the complaint TO the
ment.
President Gompers declares that
the officers of the Manufacturers AS
sociation began their suit hurriedly
to forestall the criminal prosecution
of themselves by the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor. He insisted that
the American Federation has had
under consideration plans for the
prosecution of the Manufacturers
Association for some time, and that

learned OF the Federation's purpose
and brought the injunction proceed
ing TO counteract the effect of the

OF the Metal Polishers' Union. No.
Is, OF St Louis, in the employ of the
stove company, struck in body and
without notice to the company, which
action is said to have been in viola
ton OF an agreement between the In
ternational Union of Metal Polishers
and the Stove Founders National De-
tense Association, of which the
Bucks company is a member, under
which all differences have for four
teen years been successfully adjusted
by conference committee.
Stirs st. Louis Unions.
On the failure of the strike the In
ternational Union of Metal Polishers
declared boycott against the Bucks
company and its product, inserted
the company's name in its unfair
list and published il in the union pa
per. The local union, No. 13, also
joined in the boycott and gained its
Endorsement by the Central Trades
and Labor Union, of ST. Louis, and
the Metal Trades Council, also of st.
Louis, both subordinate unions Of the
American Federation.
In November, 1905, at the annual
convention of the American Fedora
ton in Minneapolis, the products of
the company were placed on the we
t-patronize" list of the fedora
ton, and its name was published in
this list in the American Federation
ist in the June and July, 1907, issues.
The complaint sets forth that by
reason of the federation's great men,
bership and wide distribution a1d its
extraordinarily complete and power
full organization, the placing Of the
company's products on its "we-don't-
patronize" list injured greatly the
complainant's business.

simply burning what was in sight The owner would rebuild on the ashes of his property. MT. Pierpont Morgan and other multipllers of railroad securities have laid upon Alabama, under the protection of the law and the guise of interest on the property to the public carriers and public service corporations, a tax burden more far-reaching and more onerous and last ing than was accomplished by General Sherman and his hostile army In their march through Georgia and Carolina. The manifold and multiplex securities issued against the railroad interests of Alabama will long be a nightmare to the managers of their systems and tax burden on the shippers along their lines. The present sorry condition of railroads and rolling stock, inadequate freight and passenger service, almost weekly de- struction of life and property due to wrecks, emphasize the criminal outrage of watered stock and squeezed conditions, and If we could pass a sufficient law obliterating watered stock and multiplex securities, requiring from their earnings adequate maintenance of their properties, we would accomplish for them and the country a great protection and service.
 The railroads in Alabama claim that under the law they are entitled to earn on intrastate business sufficient amount to pay interest on a large portion of their capital. When you consider that there Is scarcely a road in the state whose intent is to do local or intrastate business, that every road has trunk lines with terminals outside of the state, and that 1t is to their interest and they prac- tice tho carrying out of their interest, to haul every consumption from without the state Into the state, and every produc- tion of the state out of the state, when it can be easily seen how impossible it is for the state with the present policy of the roads to conform to the demands of the railroads, that the business within the state should pay interest on the cost of the lines within the state. It can be easily seen that the economy. interest and practice of the roads to carry every vital product of the state, cotton, cotton man ufactures, lumber, iron and other pro- ducts, interstate or their long haul. To repeat, the organization and policy and interest of every road in the state is to take every production their long haul out of the state, and every consumption, their short haul, into the state; a most dangerous proposition for the people of the state, and one that should be check mated and stopped at every cost
