that if so large main we're laid,
there would not be enough water
supply to fill the independent mains
the hose would not be strong
enough to stand such high pressure.
SO there would be other costs to
add. He also wanted to know
whether this cost should be taxed
to the property owners benefited or
| the people at. large. Thus there
were several things to take into
consideration in making such inn

Williams arose at that, point, and no
answer was made to Mr. Taylor's
remarks. ~ ID Mi i
| Mr.. Williams remarks were along
| insurance lines, and the probable re-
| duotion in insurance risks if the
proper fire protection were made.
The insurance underwriters, he said,
| have figured out that Mankato is
now in the fourth class. 1t would
! be folly therefore, TO make several
| large improvements and then fall
short about $4,000, which $4,000 ad.
ditional improvements would be nee
essary to secure the decrease in
rates. n,t ,% i

! be made free of charge. He was al
most positive that sixteen inch
mains would be necessary to bring
Mankato into the third class. He
also stated that from what he knew
of the matter twelve men would be
needed at. the fire station. If this
/ is done, an insurance reduction of
from 40 TO 60 cents on every $1,000
risk will be made, and roughly es-
| timated this will mean a saving of
from two to three thousand dollars
year to the business men of Man
katO. However, this decrease does
not include factories.
Chief Lulsdorff was given the floor
again and said that in several
places the hydrants had a six inch
intake while in most places the in
take was only four inches. If the
stalls in the station were taken out,
! there would be plenty of room for
all the motor apparatus that the
city could buy. o 81 r0r- g..
Ey-fre-chief Nicholas Kleinschmidt
arose and recommended that anoth-

crete roof be put on the reservoirs,
instead of doing so much paving.
Judge Lorin Cray finally settled
the matter as far as, the meeting
last night could, by saying that so
many things had to be considered
that he moved that the president of
the club appoint a committee of five
of the business men to cooperate
with the city council in thoroughly
investigating into the needs of the
city in the matter of men and better
fire protection and to make a thor.

At the pattern makers bench where
care and accuracy count, Emil Seidel
acquired his earnest and conscien.
tons spirit. He was only 10 when
he began to work. His parents were
Germans, but he was born. in Schuyl-
kill, York county, Pa, on December
10, 1864. Before he had reached bis
fifth year his family settled in Mil
Waukee.
This cutting short of his schooling
has always been a serious regret to
Seidel, and his sympathy for the
young people dates back, no doubt,
to the days when he first became a
wage worker, after graduating from
the Union School in the Sixth ward
in Milwaukee.
However, in his 22nd year, he went
abroad to perfect himself in his trade
of carving and designing. Six years
he lived in Berlin, working at his
trade by day and attending a trade
school by night. In 1892 he returned
to Milwaukee. He then added pattern
making to his other trades. In 1895
he married Miss Lucy Greissel.
Long before this. however, he had
become trade unionist. Away back
in 1884 he had helped to organize the

Eugene v. Debs, Socialist Party
candidate for President in 1900, 1904,
1908 and 1912, was born in Terre
Haute, Ind, in 1858, and at the age
of is years began work as railroad
employe in the Vandalia railroad
shops. Afterwards he worked as fire
man on q freight engine for several
years and became a member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen.
He was an able editor of the Brother
hood Magazine. In 1877 and three
years afterward he was chosen sec
rotary and treasurer, a position which
he occupied for thirteen years, re-
signing it In 1898 to organize the
American Railway Union, which was
intended to unite the railway work

Railway strike was fought and won.

EUGENE v. DEBS

A. R. U. took up the matter in the
national convention in session in Chi
cago, in June. AS a result boycott
was declared against the Pullman
cars, to take effect June rs. Within
few days the entire railroad sys-
TEN of the country, extending from
Chicago west and south to the Gulf
and Pacific coast, was tied up and
the greatest labor war in the coun-
trys history was on.
On July 2, 1894, Judges Wood and
Grosscup, at Chicago, issued sweep
ing "omnibus" injunction. Debs and
associates were arrested for con-
tempt of court on alleged violation of
the injunction. They were tried in
September, but Judge Woods did not
render verdice until December,
when he condemned Debs to six
months Imprisonment, and his, asso7
ciates. to three. The case was car
ried to the Supreme Court, which
sustained the lower court, and in
May, 1895, the Imprisonment in

! Debs and his associates were also
indicted and placed on trial for con-
spiracy, and the trial continued until
all of the evidence of the prosecution
had been heard, but suddenly, when
the defense began to testify, a juror
was taken ill during temporary ad-
journment and the trial abruptly ter
minated in spite of all the efforts Of
the defendants to have it continued.
They were anxious to bring the Gen
eral Managers Association into court
and show who were the real law
breakers and destroyers Of property.
An acQuittal by jury upon practi-
cally the same charge as that upon
which they were imprisoned for con-
tempt would have been fatal to Judge
Woods.
On January /, 1897, Debs issued a
circular to the members of the A. R.
o.. entitled Present Conditions and
Future Duties" in which he reviewed
the political, industrial and economic
conditions, and came out boldly for
Socialism. Among other things. he
said: 1.-THE issue is Socialism VS..
Capitalism. I am for Socialism be
cause I am for humanity. The time
has come to regenerate society-we
are on the eve of a universal change"
When the A. r. q. met In conven-
ton in Chicago, in June. 1897. that
body was merged into the Social De-
mocracy of America, with Debs as
chairman of the National Executive
Board. The following year t1sssl

Joined the Milwaukee Association of
Pattern Makers.
He was also an early worker in the
Socialist movement, His ballot was
one of a total of two Socialist votes
in his precinct in 1892 It would have
been a rash prophecy then to pre-
dict that he would one day be swept
into the Mayors office on a Social
list ticket. The first Socialist branch
organized in Milwaukee enrolled him
as charter member. He served two
terms as Alderman from the Twenti-
eth ward, and in 1909 was elected
Alderman at Large. In 1910 he was
elected Mayor of Milwaukee.
After his Inauguration people who
were accustomed to the easy-going
ways of previous officials were aston
ished to find the Mayor with his
sleeves rolled up, toiling early and
late at his official duties. As time
went on, however, they discovered
that this spirit of earnest and conscf.
entions work was the ruling spirit Of
the new administration.
