MUNICIPAL
PLANTS GROW
FIGURES SHOW THAT CITIES
MADE GAINS IN PAST YEAR
CUT DOWN DEBTS
AT THE SAME TIME
SPENDING MORE
MONEY.

The coming report of the State Bu-
reau of Statistics will contain much
interesting text ON the financial condi-
ton OF Indiana cities. Figurs COM
piled by Mary Stubs Moore, State
Statistician, are now ready for the
printer. Part of the copy reads as
follows:
THE financial condition of the
cities was better in 1907 than in 1906.
The assessed valuation Of property
was greater and the debit side of the
balance was less-in total amount OF
bonds outstanding. in total amount
OF warrants outstanding The aver
age tax levy for the cities decreased
from $l.99 on the 500 in 1904, to
1888 m 1905; increased TO $1,956 in
1906, and to s2,O37 in 1907
THE last four years have witnesser
a constant increase in the receipts OF
the cities The amount received from
city taxes was about 100000 more
in 1907 than in 1904; amount received
from waterworks, $150,0O0 more;
from electric lights, s15O.OOO more;
liquor licenses $125,OOO more. This
excellent showing reduced the. neces,
sity OF borrowing money.
"The expenditures table for the last
three years shows that the cities have
had to pay for their growth. The
salaries of their city officers have in
creased; the city health and city fire
departments have cost more; the
water-works, water rent and electric
lights have increased in cost and gen.
eral miscellaneous expenses have rails
ed. Only with respect to the public
lighting has there been decrease,
and this is probably due to the grow
ing number of municipality owned
plants. The total expenditures have
increased about 100000 in the three
years.
MUNICIPAL ownership made gam

ORDER OUT
10000 MEN
INDIANA OPERATORS REFUS-
AL TO COLLECT DUES. FROM
MEMS WAGES MAY RE-
suit IN CLOSING
OF EVERY
MINE.

Following the issuing of circular
by the operators association instruct
ing the mine owners to discontinue
the check off the executive board OF
the United Mine Workers OF District
No. IL. near Terre Haute, at meet
ing Friday afternoon, decided to call
a suspension of work in the Indiana
btuminous coal field, and as result
10000 men quit work. The men were
ordered to- quit work at once at all
mines where the owners refuse to col
lect the dues and assessments of the
men out OF their wages. If the order
OF the operators is carried out by all
of the members of this association
this will mean that every mine in that
organization will be idle after Friday.
The trouble originated at the Rood
Mine in Sullivan County, where work
was suspended because of the dis
charge of a driver The operators
assert the strike at that mine was
ordered contrary to the contract and
for this reason the operators at a
meeting held Tuesday night deter
mined to- quit collecting finances for
the union. The miners say the driv-
er was discharged in violation of the
agreement, and for this reason the
Rood Mine was closed The driver
was discharged several weeks ago
because he refused TO pass under a
piece of loose slate at the top until
after 1t had been examined. He stop
ped driving after he had been at work
but seven hours, and those in charge
told him not to come back. All at
tempts to adjust this trouble has been
unsuccessful.
That il is a bad time for a suspen-
sion OF work is admitted by both the
operators and the miners. There are
several mines which have been idle
for some time and none of them have
been running to- the full capacity. In
District No. IL there are fully Is 600
miners, but one-third of this number
has been idle because of the little de-
mand for their services, as the mines
have not been busy enough to use
large forces. On the other hand. il
the strike should be prolonged the
operators would feel the eeffcts, as
the fail months are advancing and it
will not be long until the cold wealth
err. when more coal will be needed.
As neither party seems likely to give
in the mines may remain idle for a
good while.
In speaking OF the situation Friday
Secretary Fox said: oh, it may be
over in little while, or it may last
six months"
According to the Terre Haute
agreement the operators were to
withhold the mopthly dues OF the
men out of their wages, thus accom-
modatng the union When the own
ers refuse to do this it means that
the official relations between the two
organizations are at an end.
In the Indiana bituminous field
there are approximately 159 mines.
of which number about twenty-five
are independent. The rest belong to-
the association of operators.
