The difference in spirit between a
capitalist administration and Social
list administration was clearly marked
in the recent hearing of the South
Side track elevation case in Milvau-
kee. Formerly. the capitalist admin
lstration have invited the big business
men to these hearings and have con-
suited them only as to wat should be
done. The Socialist administration
last week made a strange innovation!

thought OF track elevation.
The workingmen aud the busines
ageuts OF the unions testified thaat

cars containing workingm.;. going ;o
and from theiry'ork at the rush hours.
The business agents testified that
complaints were constantly made in
the unions by workingmen who were
docked In their wages because they
came late to work In consequence OF
this delay.
Testimony was also given OF the
great danger to life and limb for those
who are daily obliged to cross these
unprocted railroad tracks.
The hearing consequently resulted In
n decision for track elevation on the
South Side OF Milwaukee. For thir-
teen years the citizens on the South
Side have fought for this. But the
interests OF the railroads and certail
tig business firms who had sidetracks
and spurs. and were therefore oppos-
cd to track elevation, outweighed Tia"
'oice CT the public. Now less than
four months OF Socialist administration
has achieved this victory for the pub
lie interests. Engineers are already

engaged in planning the best method
of making the change. The work OF
elevation will begin as soon as their
plans are completed.
Although this may not be a great
matter in itself. II is a splendid exam
pie Of the new spirit Of the Socialists.
For the first time in Milwaukee. the
voice of the working class is allowed
utterance. The interests" and the
big manufacturers have been obliged
to yeild to the rights of the majority.
II is another instance OF the different
viewpoint of our administration.
The most interesting problem In
Milwaukee Just at present is the street
railway situation. Certain cross town
lines are badly needed in Milwaukee
Mr.. John 7. Beggs. the street car Gar,
thought he could coerce the public
into giving away their streets for
nothing in order TO get these much
wanted lines. But the Socialists
were not such easy game! The days
OF franchise presents and gifts OF the
city streets are over in milwaukee,.
Meantime. while this fight is still
pending, the Milwaukee City Council
has appointed a committee TO take
steps towards securing a municipal
terminal. II they can secure site
by condemnation proceedings and fol
a price which will not exceed the pub

own street terminal, and thus take one
more step towards independence o'

RED LODGE LABOR
TEMPLE IS DEDICATED

Labor Day in Red Lodge this year
was one that will be long remembered
by all who took part in the celebra-
tion. and II also marks an era in
Inlonism in Montana, inasmuch as
the dedicatio. OF the Labor Temple
took place on that day. The unions
of washoe and Bear Creek to a man
travelled to Red Lodge and took part
in the parade, and a special train lef,
Billings early in the morning with q
large delegation OF union men.
The orator OF the day was f. S. Nc
Culloch, ex-vice president of the Unit
ed Mine Workers OF America. Mr..
McCulloch delivered a splendid speech
en- unionism and union principle $.
After the parade field sports took
place on the grounds adjoining the
Labor Temple.
The Labor Temple of Red Lodge
is something that the unions Of Red
Lodge have a Just reason to be proud
OF. The plans were drafted by John
Horn, a Billings socialist. who later
was foreman Of the construction
work on the building.
The work OF supervising the con-
struction was done by a committee
of the Miners union and the superi,
tendent OF construction was John
Massow, the business agent OF the
Miners union. After investigating
the prices Of material and contrac-
tors prices. the unions decided that
they could build the temple them
selves, without the assistance CT any
contractor. and thereby save some
thing like $4,000 to the union.
John Massow, business agent, was
given full power to go ahead with the
work OF construction and hire or dis
charge whenever he pleased. and pay
the workers their wages.
Massow had 10 do all this in con-
junction with the other work Of busi-
mes agent, and received as compensa-
ton his usual weekly wage from the
union as business agent.
So thoroughly was the work done
that the Labor Temple is the most sub
stantial building in the city Of Red
Lodge today.
The building cost $4,000 and could
not be duplicated today, IL built un-
der contract, for less than sG1.c"0

An interesting case Of graft has re
Gently been exposed by Milwaukee
Socialists. A certain contractor under
the former administration has given
the work Of running a pipe line from
the city water mains to the county
institution, including the hospital. poor
house. home for dependent children
insane asylum and other charitable
institutions. This mans contract re-
quired him to put the pipe six feet be-
low ground. 1t was found that for
long distances the pipe was placed
only two or three feet below the sur
face. A man plowing his field struck
the pipe with his plow. This pipe lire
being laid so near the surface, was OF
course exposed to the action OF frost,
and there was grave danger that in
some severe Milwaukee winters the
unfortunate inmates OF the public in.
stitutions might at any time be de-
prived OF their water supply. The
SOCIALISTS held up the pay OF tn s
tricky contractor. He will not get il
till he relays the pipes the proper
depth.
The graft that will make a profit
out Of teh recipients of public charity
is perhaps the most revolving kind OF
graft. But all graft at the public ex-
pense is a lowering OF the efficiency
