Council Votes To Await Courts De-

President Glinnan's resolution to
submit the Moore municipal owner
ship plan to the people at a special
election Aug. 10, was tabled Tor an
other week by the common councli
Tuesday night, pending the outcome
OF the mandamus proceedings lhstl-
tuted In the circuit court.
This action was evidently against
President Glinnan's wish, as ne re-
corded his own vote against II, TO-

for a weeks delay.
AS soon as unfinished business was
taken M in the council meeting. Aid.
Goeschel moved to take the resolution
from the table, and then moved that
II be adopted. Aid. Trevor moved TO
amend by making the date Aug. 70, SO
that all of the dozen or so proposed
charter amendments would be In shape
for submission at the same time.
Aid. Allan expressed objections TO
mourning the expense of special cleo
ton. and moved to amend by deferrtng
The vote till the general election. He
was seconded by Aid Vernon. Chair
man Gilman then attempted to put
the question TO a vote without further
discussion, but several aldermen
wanted to be heard.
Aid. Owen then moved TO table for
one week, and called for Corporation
Counsel Hally.
Nothing would legally interfere
with the passage OF the resolution
now" said Hally. IF the courts
granted an injunction next week, moth
ing in particular would have been lost.
Courtesy to the court, however, would
probably dictate that the matter be
allowed to rest till at least the local
court has acted"

BOTH SIDES ARE
FIRM IN STRIKE
Canadian Minister of Labor Offers
To Arbitrate Grievances of Grand
Trunk and Wabash Men.

MONTREAL, July 20.-Both sides In
the strike on the Grand Trunk system
were still determined today and IL
looks like a long fight. There is
ray OF hope that the trouble may be
adjusted by the offer of the Canadian
minister of labor to use his Offices
IN an effort to end the strike by arbl'
tration. The strike of 500 men on the
Wabash railroad in Canada spurred
the Canadian government to action.
The Wabash road uses the Grand
Trunk tracks in Canada and uniform
wage agreement exists between the
two roads.
The Grand Trunk officials here say
passenger and mail trains are moving.
They are running behind the schedule
but the officials say they hope TO have
things in good working order soon,
after which they Will start the freight
trains. Vice-President Murdoch, or
ganizer for the trainmen, says the
men are satisfied with the tie-up OF

MURDOCH RAPS
SPEAKER CANNON
Insurgent Says Uncle joe Has OPP
posed Progressive Legislation and
Played in Dark With Tammany'

FNPORIA, Kas., July 20.--"Speaker
Cannn Is Mt My a stand.patter, nut
stand-stiller," Congressman Weir
Murdck, Kansas insurgent I'm the
house OF representatives. said yester-
day. Following In the wake of Speak
err Cannon. he defended the insurgent
cause i'm his first political speech OF
the campaign and replied to the speak
er's charges made here Monday.
Sneaker Cannon for 30 years has
been opposed TO locomotion In any
direction" he said. For more than
a quarter of century he has stood
ont against progress. During his POI
Iitical life he has opposed about all the
progressive legislation that has been
offered.
ssHe opposed the federal inspection
OF meats; he stood opposed TO lrrlga.
tien, TO currency reform, to pure lood
laws and regulations. to civil service
reform, and TO practically all progress
give legislation since the Civil war.
while posing az partisan. as an
ardent advocate of party fealty ne
has played I'm the dark with Tam
many. He did not hesitate to rejoice
when his boon companion, Lorimer,
OF Illinois, was elected to the senate
by a coalition with the Democrats
and by a deal that was rotten to the
core; a deal that has made stencil
In the nostrils of the nation.
"Sp, aker Cannon was interested in
lust two things in tariff bills-the pro-
lection of petroleum and its products.
and the tariff on women's gloves.
When the insurgents offered an
amendment reducing the tariff on pc
troleum, Cannon left his chair and
ragged over the floor of the house like
a wild man. He said the house could
not make the reduction. Then the in
surgents became revolutionists. We
appealed from the decision Of the
chairman and we won our fight. A
big hand came down out of the blue
sky and smashed Cannon, the glove
schedule, the petroleum schedule and
all-and that hand was William II.
Taft's.
1.-THE greatest thing the insurgents
have done has been TO put Cannon OFF
the committee on rules. IL is no long
er necessary for members OF the com
I.:ittee TO get down on their marrow
bones before the chairman for fear of
an adverse report to the speaker.
Tho insurgents not only wish to take
the power away from Speaker Cannon,
but from all future speakers"

fore the franchise expired. Aid. link
raised o hot protest against what ne
termed railroading the resolution
sthrOnRh before even the members oi
the franchise committee. Of which he
Is member. had q chance TO know
what II was about.
Hally had his lighting clothes on
and told link that he had informed
the committee all about 1t when the
first resolution to charge the ID. u r,
rent was proposed link declared
that what Hally said was untrue, and
the two had a hot time. until Aid
Owen, who also had objected, explain.
ed the matter to link and withdrew
hts opposition. The resolution was
las3eG and reconsideration barred.
The corporation counsel sent TO the
council his reply to three questions
submitted To him last week by Chair.
man HARPER of the franchise commit.
tee, regarding the submission of the
Moore plan.
Harpfer's first question was as 10
whether the whole measure would be
invalidated II some of the sections
were found illegal. Hally's reply was
In the negative. He gave the same
reply to the question whether, IL tn
legislator should find Il necessary 10
amend the law In order to permit con.
demnation of property, 1t would be
necessary to hold a second election.
The third question was as to wheth.
er II IS mandatory for the council 10
submit an Illegal charter amendment.
Hally very distinctly told the council
that IL was the province of the courts
and not the common council to deter.
mine the law. and that IL would be
presumptious on the part of the com.
mon council to hold or declare a law
unconstitutional.
When the initiative is presented
the action of the council is defined
by the home rule bill. Il has no right
to hesitate or question. It's duty Is
plain and simple to submit the propo.
sition TO the electors III Il becomes
law under this vote. the legality OF
II may be inquired into by the proper
tribunal"
The reply was received and placed
on file.
Chairman link, OF the liquor regu.
lation committee, introduced three
resolutions for refunding the license
fees, where second payment had
been required of a removal. The bars
for this procedure were let down when
