Chicago. March 9.--President Com
pers, of the American Federation OF
Labor, was the first witness today in
behalf of the switchmen's union. before

classes of worsingmen. This. he says,
is evident by the fact that life insur-
ance premiums for switchmen ara
higher than for other craftsmen. Com
pers also declared that because OF tha
increased cost of living, the SWITCH
mems demands should be granted

sWiseonsin's Decision Believed to Be
Far Reachino

Madison, Wis, March 9.-Madison's
gas and electric rates were cut s and
IA per cent, respectively, and the COM
pany's revenue reduced $4,000 a year
in a decision made by the railroad
commission after two years of inves-
tigation.
The decision is momentous as applied
to public regulation. Particularly inn
portant is the commissions conclusion
that the so-called going develop
ments," good wilP' and franchise" or
other intangible value shall not be al
lowed as basis for fixing rates to con-
sumers and that the rates must be
based only upon the cost to reproduce
the plant as it stands.

hURONTOWN AGAIN LEADS
COPPER COUNTRY LEAGUE

The "Dougle-H" baseball aggrega-
tion still entertains hopes of capturing
this years pennant and II appears
that their hopes are not without foun-
dalton. The game played with Mo-
hawk last Sunday and which was re-
corded as a Mohawk victory, has been
protested by Manager Wedge and the
protest has been allowed. The throw
ing out of this game places the "Dou-
ble-H" team at the head of the per-
centage column.
The team goes to Gay tomorrow to
play the nine from that place and ex-
pect to bring home n victory. The
Gay boys are a very fast aggregation
and will doubtless put up a good
game. A week from today the Gay
team comes to Hurontown to play
their last game with the hill team.
1t has been planned to play game
with Mohawk today on the latters
grounds, but the Mohawk Painesdaie
cricket game at Mohawk interfered
with these plans.

CLYDE F|TCH'S BEST
PLAY in CALUMET
MONDAY

In "The CITY," the late Clyde Fitch
paved the way for the return to the
sane DRAMATIC play of merciless
dissection without the needless fol-
bles of stagecraft, the play of thrills,
of realism and of sensationalism.
THE City" marks the apex of this
illustrious writer's career, not be-
cause it was his last work. but from
the fact that il has been acclaimed
one of the greatest dramas ever pro-
duced on the American stage. The
Messrs. Shubert gave it production
towards the close of 1909 and now
after its record making engagement
of year at the Lyric theatre, New
York. this firm is sending the play
to the Calumet theatre Monday even
ing.
To claim that "The City is a sue
cession of thrills is putting it mild
/ ". To borrow the words Of a we'll
known New York reviewer, it is a
perfect hot bed of sensation" In the
absorbing second act, the author has
piled climax upon climax, absolutely
ignoring all presidents. 1t Is as
though the story literally swept the
author from the moorings of stage
form and Ieaped TO the logical ant
only conclusion.

The term of Captain III. S. Good
ell, commander of the training shin
Yantic for the past three years will
expire next month. The expiration
of the term will be Immediately fol.
lowed by an election at which a sue.
cessor will be named The line OFF,

SO successful has Captain Goodell
been In command OF the Yantic so
popular has he become with the Off
GERS and men. that they anticipate
with regret the expiration of his term
, himself to the position. No other
candidate has arisen so far for the po-
sition.
The securing of repairs on the YAM
tic was the result of big effort on
the part of the captain. Since the or
ganization of the local naval militia
he has devoted time and money to
bring the Division to the front. The
recent success of the Yantic on the
annual cruise of the great lakes fleet
is, in many ways due to the strict at
tention he paid to the work and pro-
gress of the men.
But little has been done by the ma
val militia since their return from the
cruise. Regular drills will be con-
Quoted this winter and the men will
receive further instructions i'm signal
ling and the different drills and it is
believed they will be greatly improved
before the next annual cruise. 1t is
likely that many new members will
be taken i'm this winter.
