Willing to Hear Citizens.

Engineer Commissioner Judson said that
the matter at the time had not been
called to his attention. He added that
II. at any time. sufficient number of
citizens request hearing on the water
rates, either with the object Of increasing
or reducing them, the Commissioners
would grant 1t.
The resolutions adopted by the associa-
ton not only call attention to the failure
to grant a hearing. but they request that
the Commissioners rescind their order
in regard to the new water rates Ac-
companying the resolutions was a letter
to each of the Commissioners, signed BY
Charles l.. Mendel, secretary of the as
sociation.
In his letter to Commissioner Rudolph
Mr. Mendel states that commissioners
Johnston and Judson. in voting for the
increased rates, have utterly failed to
take into their arguments the fact that
property owners have $1.25 front foot
invested in water mains, and our money
Is worth per cent. the same as the
money we have to borrow. 1t lis not
necessary for ME to more than refer to
the large amount invested in water mains
by the property owners OF the District,
and YOU can see that we are paying more
for water than 1t would seem on the sur
face"

What Gompers Says.

think of them. But no one act of in
dividuals can block the progress of
the cause of labor And I'd hate to
lose my confidence in Clarence Oar
row.
After more than twenty-four hours
of thinking over the confession of
John and James Mcnamara, this was
the statement tonight of President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor
AT s p. IN. Gompers was eating his
breakfast, the first food he had had
since told of the unexpected turn in
the Mcnamara trial in Los Angeles
yesterday. He said he had not slept
a wink.
why. I've been day-dreaming OF
detectives and judges and juries and
McNamaras.' said Gompers. This
very chicken leg has blood on it. .
And he took another bite.
II had not the slightest intimation
there was to be confession" Con
tinued Gompers. "A week ago tonight
shortly before the annual convention
of the American Federation of Labor
adjourned at Atlanta, we received a
telegram siened jointly by John and
James Mcnamara, protesting theil
innocence and thanking union labor
for it's support. They asserted they
were victims of vicious plot. I've
all thought them innocent. We gave
them our support.
But their very act severed then
from the bond Of the labor cause. La
Dor has been grossly deceived. We
stand for evolution, not revolution
No cause is advanced for violence We
stand for peace rather than brutality.
"Murder VIII OUT
Gompers asserted he had no sym
pathy for those, who accuse the Nc
Namaras of confessing for consider
alton.
They were guilty, and murder will
out" he asserted.
