not the carrying on of other occupa-
tons. The reason for the enactment
of the ordinance was no doubt to pre-
vent the danger of fire occurring in
building whose basement might be
filed with multitude of shoppers,
such as frequently throng the aisles
and surround the counters of such
stores. The conditions are different
from those of most other classes of
business, if not of all others. The clas-
sification is not arbitrary, but is based
upon the tendency of people to collect
in great numbers at such places,
which distinguishes them from other
places and increases the danger
which would follow a fire." ..
The Supreme. Court also, in re-
turning this decision, put a strong
club in the hands of the city which
could be used to make big buildings
more fireproof.

THAT TELEPHONE DEAL

The Tribune has a story this morn
ing which indicates that the attorney
general of the Q. S. is watching close
ly the attempted gobbling up of the
automatic phone plant by the phone
trust.
1t appears that letters have been
received by Mrs. Charlotte Rhodus,
president of the Woman's Party of
Cook County; Morton L. Johnson,
president of the Penny Phone League,
and w. S. Vivian, secretary of the
Independent Telephone Association,
from Washington, indicating that if
the Bell phone trust attempted to abb
soFb the automatic, Uncle Sam would
take hand in the game.
1t appears that the Bell phone trust
wrote the attorney general last year,
promising that neither the Bell COM
pany nor any of teh companies in its
system would hereafter acquire di-
rectly Or indirectly, any other COM
pany that owns or operates phone
system in competition with the Bell.
If attorneys for the trust and for
the Illinois Tunnel Co., which owns
the automatic, attempt to force
through the deal by which the auto
matte is to be gobbled up and iunked,
