SEES NO CHANCE
FOR CHEAPER GAS
Materials Used in Making Pro.
duct Advance, B. O. Tippy
Tells Convention

Matters OF vital interest in the gas
business were taken up Friday morn
ng, in the final days session. - I, g
wenty-seeond annual meeting or the
Michigan Gas association In the
Hotel Pontchartrain.
B. o. Tippy, OF Detroit. read pa
per in which he pointed out the
vastly increased cost of the materials
used in making gas. Gas coal, he
said, has increased from $3.50 to
$500 a ton in lS years He looked
for an advance OF about 80 cents
next spring, II an agreement between
operators and miners Is made. ad-
vancing the mining rate. Gas oil has
gone from 2.15 cents to 500 cents q
gallon. due to a decrease In oil stocks
and the development OF the demand
for gasoline, which has caused q
dropping OF In the manufacture OF
gas oils. Coke has shown little
change since 1908. Mr. Tippy found
slight encouragement for lower gas
rates.
Albert G. Schroeder explained the
workmens compensation law, and
pointed out the advantages OF coming
under 1t.
Most Of us naturally have felt
that the new insurance rates are very
high" he said. For some time there
has been q movement to place the
rating of risks on merit system,
exactly as Is done In making rates for
fire insurance. That Is, such employ
ers who are making special effort to
avoid accidents and whose premises
are in better physical condition than
the average throughout the industry
are to receive the benefit of their pro-
gressiveness by being quoted lower
rates. This matter has not yet been
entirely worked out In Michigan, but
| 1t Is we'll under way. It would be
well for such gas companies as have
made special efforts to safeguard
their plants to take this matter up
with their insurance agents and ask
for special rating"
Mr.. Schroeder said that most OF
the large companies are carrying
their own risks.
rs II not rather remarkable" con-
cluded Mr.. Schroeder, that so few
real defects have been found in the
law and that there IL not more dis
satisfaction with It, when 1t Is con-
sidered that this law must please
both capital and labor? There are
few employers In the state who would
now care to 60 back and operate
under former. conditions"

Phelan Declares

William Gerhauser Of the Pasadena
apartments. one Of the talesmen sum
moned for jury service in the re-
corder's court. told Judge Phelan, Fri
day, that he could not serve, as his

OIL concern.
Judge Phelan had promptly re-
fused every request for relief from
jury service. made by several of the
prospective Jurors. but Gerhauser con.
vinced him that the matters requiring
his presence In Wisconsin were 90
urgent. that the court finally gave
him 10 days leave of absence, but
ordered him to report for jury duty

FRIENDS HAVE FAITH IN
WHEELER'S INNOCENCE

ROME, Sept. 19.-Friends here OF
Post Wheeler. first secretary Of the
United States embassy, today profess
sed to believe that the charges
against him will be easily dispelled.
The italian government has no CON-
plant against Wheeler. The minis
ter OF finance has made statement
that Wheeler did not violate the GUS
toms regulations of Italy. The min
lister said that Wheeler obtained q
permit for the free importation of a
certain quantity of gasoline. and up
to date his actual importation has
fallen far short of the designated
amount Ambassador O'Brien, said
the minister. had brought In consid-
erably more gasoline than the first
secretary. IT is said here that the
complaint against Wheeler was made
at Washington by an American. to
avenge a personal grievance, and
that nothing will come OF It.

Despite the presidents insistence
for speeding up on the measure, pros

week at least.
Not before the middle of October
at best can the senate banking com
mittee report the Glass-Owen bill to
the senate, legislative leaders predict
ed today. Weary weeks of debate In
senate are almost certain to ensue
before the measure can be passed.
With the bill as passed yesterday
by the house, hearings we're continued
today before a minority Of the senate
banking committee. Such scant In
terest IL taken In these proceedings
that only Ave senators are attending
OF score Of witnesses summoned,
only q half dozen have been heard.
: President Wilson intends speeding
up the work in the upper house by
conferences with the insurgent"
Democratic senators. The Repub-
licans may also oppose action at this

KALAMAZOO. Mich, Sept. 49,
Especial. )--President Claude o. Tay-
lor Of the Michigan Federation of La
Dor, this morning appointed the mem.
bers Of the executive board to serve
AS a special committee to investigate
all prison labor contracts in the state
Delegates this morning pointed out
the fact that prison labor Is a great
detriment to union labor and should
be abolished.
Samuel Tobin, Of Detroit. bitterly
assaulted Gen. p. l.. Abbey OF this city
for the manner In which he conduct.
ed affairs In the copper country dur
ing the strike.
The legislature should expend
money In the erection of labor tenn
pies instead of building armories In
a direct attack against organized la.
bor," said Mr. Tobin.
With view to enforcing more at.
tention to the union label on the
part OF union laborers themselves,
the federation yesterday afternoon
adopted a resolution whereby mem.
bers are required TO wear at least
seven pieces Of clothing bearing the
union label on pain OF ejectment from
the convention halls.
The real clash Is expected to come
this afternoon when President Taylor
and Secretary Waterman are expect
ed to announce themselves as candi-
dates for reelection. The Detroit
delegation this morning decided to
oppose Waterman, because he has
already served two terms.

for Q settlement of the strike, the
strikers are again doing deeds that
cannot but hurt their own cause IN
the eyes Of the federal and state In
vestigators, who are In this district
attempting to mediate and end indus

morning, one OF the soldier guards

covery but they dare not attempt TO
dislodge the bulle, The woods were
secured but Randolphs assailant es-
capped.
This morning In Newt0wn, near
Calumet. four strikers badly beat one
man going to work and attacked the
deputies who attempted to arrest
them. The officers were forced TO
use their guns to subdue the strikers.
! The strike-breakers run into the
copper country last night by the
Quincy Mining Co., were held OUTSIDE
Of the district all night In their train
and brought In by daylight. They
consist OF 80 Italian immigrants. for
whom the company has built quarters
at the mine.- The company has pro-
vided an adequate guard. and other
large parties are expected IN.
Gen. Abbey In Charge.
Strong guards Of deputies and the
militia prevented the strikers making
any trouble when the strike-breakers
were brought In. Gen. Abbey took
personal charge Of the troops IN the
Portage Lake district to prevent
trouble. It Is doubtful whether any
other mining companies will handle
striketbreakers right now. 1t Is re-
ported that the Boston Offices OF the

the exceeding kindness of the United

Does that mean that there is some
understanding that no mothers pen
