ASKS CITIZENS TO

RULE CHANGES
Mayor Would Have Big Delegation
Of Detroiters Go To Lansing When
Amendments Are Taken Up By
the Legislature.
Says Plan Proposed Is Shortest Way
OF Securing What Cities Desire
John Mcyicar Approves.

our citizens as possible 20 out to
Lansing In support OF the needed
amendments to the home rule bill.
indorsed by the League OF Michigan
Municipalities said Mayor Thomp-
son, Monday morning. This II a
matter that vitality concerns the, peo-
pie and certainly deserves the heart
lest support that can be given II.
The only objection that have
heard to this plan OF securing amend
ments to the home rule bill, is that
there Is question as to its legality.
III 1t Is not legal, let us satisfy our
selves on that point as quickly as pos
sible, and the only way to do that Is
to adopt the amendments. IL the SUI
preme court should hold that the plan
Is illegal. we still would have the gen.
eral revision to fall back ON, but 1
cay IL there Is a quicker way to get
the things that are so needed than by
q general revision, let's have IT,"
Senator Scott, chairman OF the SEN
ate committee on cities and villages,
has called a meeting OF his comniit-
tee for March 8, to consider the pro-
posed amendments and has sent In
vitations to Mayor Thompson and the
other city officials to attend. II is
possible that the corresponding house
committee will be asked to meet with
the senate committee on this occa-
sion. There is every prospect thai a
large delegation from Detroit will be
on hand. Mayor Thompson will write
the mayors OF various other Michigan
cities interested, urging them to send
delegations also.
John Mcvicar, chairman of The
municipal ownership committee OF
100. and others prominently identified
with the municipal ownership project,
will attend the hearing. =
Naturally we are II. favor OF the
proposed amendments, for we believe.
II this plan Is followed, the vote on
municipal ownership will be has
tened" said Mr.. Mcvicar. "A generai
revision would mean a long delay. and
even after the work was completed
the people might not see fit to adopt
the charter, and we'd have TO go all
over II again. I'd like to see tho
amendments go through, and think
all citizens who have the interests OF
the city at heart should lend their
influence to that end"
Mr.. Hally Is at work on the amend
ments and will have them ready for
presentation to the legislature the
latter part OF the week

FIGHT CONTROL BY STATE.
Railroads Say Michigan Cannot Resu.
late Demurrage Rules.

Detroit. Mich, Sept. 29.-The right
of the state of Michigan to regulate
demurrage rules of intrastate rail-
roads, within the state of Michigan
was again attacked yesterday before
Special Master George Donaldson by
representatives of practically all rail-
roads doing business i'm Michigan. The
hearing was held I'm the Michigan car
demurrage supervising bureau. Equity
building, and will continue for about
two months. 1t has been in progress
for several days.
Supporting the railroad commits
sion are the Michigan Manufacturers
association and the Detroit Board of
Commerce. They hope to uphold the
right of the Michigan railroad COM
mission to say how long cars can be
kept In shippers before demurrage Is
charged on them. This contention the
railroads attack as unduly restraining
interstate commerce.
But above the question directly in
volved, according to the state officials
Is the right of the state To regulate
corporations doing business within It's
borders. and to prevent corporate con-
trol from shipping away from the
state into the hands of the federal
government exclusively. or. falling
short of that, finding a retreat free
from all government control in the
shadow land of law" between state
and federal control
1t is the same principle as that In
volved In the Minnesota rate cases
according to state officials. where the
railroads enjoined the state from en-
forcing its rate regulation and mas
kept the matter In the courts wltn
the present high rates continuing, Tor
three years. and the cases have not yet
been decided.

tion or Gambling.

Manchester. VT. Sept. 29-Excep-
tion TO the frequent charge that cot
ton manufacturers who purchase con-
tracts for future delivery are gamblers
or spectators, was taken by George
w. Neville, president Of the New York
Cotton exchange in an address deli
vered mt the seml-annual session of
the National Association OF Cotton
Manufacturers today. Mr.. Neville de-
clared his belief that the manufacturer
who does not hedge his sale OF goods
by the purchase of contracts for fu-
ture delivery Is the real speculator
Discussing this subject he said:
"The purchase by cotton manu-
facturer of contracts for future deliv-
cry against his sale of goods for future
delivery. whether he buys the con-
tracts for future delivery on one OF the
cotton exchanges, or whether he buys
from the spot cotton merchant that
special grade OF cotton and staple
which he requires for the manufac-
ture of the goods he has sold, insures
him against fluctuations I'm the price
of his raw material. and fixes, I'm
measure, his profit on his sale OF
goods. This procedure. | know, Is re-
garded by large number of manufac-
turers i'm this country as rank gam
bling and by others as speculation.
dissent from this view of the trans
action, and submit that the manufac-
turer who does not hedge his sale of
goods by the purchase either of con-
tracts for the future delivery of cot
ton on some exchanges, or from some
spot cotton merchant. is specializing
on the price of his raw material and
ultimately on the profit of his mill
Known results I'm recent years at
many mills have proved this, for some
manufacturers have lost not only their
profits hut part of their capital by fol-
lowing just this course.
The Reverse Also True.
"The reverse of this proposition rs
also true; when manufacturer buys
spot cotton and has not already made
sales OF goods for future delivery to
apply against his purchase of spot
cotton. or does not at once sell manu-
featured goods or contracts, for the fu-
ture delivery of cotton on some cotton
exchange. to hedge himself against
price nuctuation, he Is specializing. In
my opinion. the failure to observe and
follow this principle is one of the
contributing causes to the depiorable
condition of the cotton manufacturing
business today i'm the United States

ing and instructive talk on "The New
York Cotton Exchange and its Rela-
tions to Merchandising Cotton ana
