WHAT j. STITT WILSON,
SOCIALIST MAYOR OF
BERKELEY, CAL, SAYS
on FRENCH

Mr.. Harold French, whose
expose of questionable rela-
lions between trust and treas
ury officials is arousing such
great interest is man of un-
doubted sincerity and ability.
have known French for some
time, and have been aware
his determination to offer this
voluntary service. He has
given up a good position in
the mint voluntarily to fulfill
this work which he believes
to be his duty. He holds com
mandatory letters from his
superiors in the mint, but
feels compelled to offer this
patriotic service as one who
knows the inside facts.

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-02-28

Is the Taft administration in
tending to turn over to the Gug-
genheims and smelter trust the
refining of all gold and silver for
coinage of United States money?
Is the government going out OF
the mint business in favor of the
smeiter trust.
Charges that such is the truth
are at the bottom of the demand
lust made by Congressman Victor
Berger for an investigation. They
originate with Harold French, for
mer chemist at the San Francisco
mint. French has made close
study of what he charges is deal
to turn over from public to private
control work now handled by the
minis, and has figures and memoir
anda which he believes establish a
plan for complete surrender of
the governments refining business
to the Guggenheims with the eff
feet of giving them a more COM
plete monopoly of the market for
precious ores, and leave the public
and independent miners alike at
the merry of the smelter trust.
While the arrangements for
closing the mine were ineubating,
French, a young man dependent
upon his position in the San Fran
cisco mint, secured a furlough,
walked right out from his work
bench and denounced the plan.
Through Berger, the Milwaukee
man, who is the only socialist
member of congress, the charges
secured an official status and
one which cannot be ignored by
the administration.
French has offered some aston
ishing exposures of U. S. mint
methods, but he declares that this
stupendous scheme would crown
anything that has gone before. At
whatever sacrifice he does this, he
says, he thinks it nothing more
than his duty to the public.
The Times has secured Chemist
Harold French's own story of the
alleged conspiracy and will present
ii in number of signed articles.
French will speak as one who saw
and knew what was going on and
recognized its Importance to the
people. And he believes he is be-
traying no confidence i'm telling the
people about something that con-
Germs them first of all.
Quite a stir has already been
caused in congress by French's ex-
posures, and even the California
congressman have become alive
to the danger of their state losing
the important mint through a
working arrangement between the
Guggenheims and the treasury de-
partment. But French's charges
involve larger issues and greater
principles than the mere loss of a
federal depot to city or state.
The coinage and precious metal
refining system of the United
States is in the balance with APP
parently the whole business going
the way Alaska was headed, and
in the most high-handed way.
Harold French's articles will be-
gin tomorrow in the Times. He
will handle the whole matter
from an expert standpoint and
make his revelations as pointed
and as clear as possible. They are
the same revelations that congress
will be compelled to probe.

Cumberland Telephones Improvements

For nearly six weeks a force of Is
men, under the supervision of construc-
tion foreman, W. K. Parkes, has been
rebuilding the Cumberland Telephone
Co.'S entire system in Macon. New
poles have been placed all over the city
and all wires are enclosed in a cable
thereby removing the network of wires
that have, on account of their proxi-
nifty to the city's electric light wires
been menace, to the safety of the
public, as well as an annoyance to those
who had shade trees growing in front
of their places.
A force of electricians, under control
of Supt. Route, are now at work con-
Meeting the cables and it will probably
take them six weeks longer to complete
their work. An additional section of
switch board will be installed by the
same crew.
When the work now nnder eonstruc-
tion is completed Macon will have the
most modern telephone plant, with the
same number of subscribers, now in
the Memphis district.
The connections, when completed,
will afford the third operator, instead
of two, as heretofore, and that part of
the service will be much more salts
factory than heretofore.
