MILWAUKEE REDEEMED

Both of the old parties of Mil
waukee united to redeem that city
from socialist missrule at the late
election.
Milwaukee's non-partisan admin
istration has been in the saddle
only few days, but it has shown
its purpose to undo every good
thing done for the workers by the
socialists, to batter down any hope
for better things that may have
lurked in the breasts of misguided
workers before Gerhard A. Bading
was inaugurated mayor.
When the little blond pattern
maker walked out of the front
Office in the city hall dark times
for the toilers began.
Almost before the smoke of the
campaign had died away two OF
the city's biggest corporations, two
corporations that are allied with
national financial interests, got
their grip on the city hall. That
is not all that has happened, but
it is an excellent start for the in
terests.
Fred @. Simmons was appointed
commissioner of public works by
Mayor Bading on his first day in
office. Simmons was taken to the
city hall from the Office of the
Milwaukee Electric Railway and
Light Company, North Ameri-
can company feeder. Simmons
was in charge of maintenance Of
way for the street railway corpora
tion.
To get Simmons into Office i'm
mediately the new power in the
city hall had to go to the courts to
oust Harry E. Briggs, the social
list commissioner whose term should
not have expired until sixty days
later. The courts fixed it up SO
that Simmons could walk right in.
He did.
And 80 on down the line. These
are the merry days for the oorpo-
rations.-Chester M. Wright.

indicate the seriousness of its trouble
