be elected under the charter there would be fear
of the result Next in Importance is the safeguarding of
the peoples interests, through protecting provisions in
the charter against the unjust encroachments of public
service corporations and through possible unfair decisions
and actions of the commissioners the hand, and
private contractors and corporations on the other.
The Press does not think that the charter affords
sufficient protection in these respects. Labors represen
tatves the charter revision committee and other
members outside of labor have done their best to
proper safeguards but those who represent the big
porations evidently have succeeded in oufankng and
ouplannng them The clauses regulating franchises
not satisfactory The emergency requirements regarding
the letting Of big contracts not strict enough and the
referendum in this respect is practically nufed The
provision providing for universal transfers is embarrassed
by the clause making it possible for the corporations to
refer it to the courts.
The Press fully understands the difficulties many
bers of the committee had to encounter in their fight with
the representatives of the big local interests But at the
tme the charter must be judged as it stands and
this paper will clearly show both the weak and the
strong points about it, to the end that the people may
vote clearly and ntelligeny The personal quarrels and
mud singing of the different factions do not
