EXPRESS
BUSINESS TO r. 1.
Carrier viii Come Into Possession OF
More Lines and Use This
Road

The American Express company will
begin operating over the Rock Island
lines after June 30. Contracts giving
them that territory were signed in
Chicago yesterday. The United States
Express company, which has been
operating on The Rock Island, and
whose contract had several years
more to run, will discontinue business
June 80 and the company be liquidat-
ed
The. American will come into pos
July l. On that date the American
will add 10000 miles to its present
mileage of $4,000 miles. The Ameri-
can has already assumed The United
States Express contracts with the
Reading. the Central of New Jersey
and the Lehigh Valley. The other
business of the United States com
pany has been taken over by Wells
Fargo & Co., with the exception OF
par. of the Frisco lines. which went
to the Southern Express company.
No official announcement of the
change had been received by local
agents and employees of the United
States Express company yesterday,
and 1t is not known just what will be
done with the men now employed by
the United States company, but 1t
seems probable that large number
of them will remain with the Ameri-
can. Naturally the two local offices
will be combined, but the same num-
Der of messengers will be required on
the Rock Island trains as before.
There are about forty men, including
messengers working out Of Des
Moines, on the payroll of the local
United States office, and the question
uppermost in their minds at present
is how many OF them will be retained
under the new management.

WILL MAKE OR BREAK

[By William Philip Simms. Paris Cor
respondent Of the United Press.]
PARIS. June 6-The eyes OF the
civilized world will be on France dur
ing the next few months. The revo-
lutionary socialist party has practi-
caily gained control Of the chamber
of deputies for the next four years.
the first sitting having come last Mon
day. OF the 1876 socialists in the new
legislature, fifty-Ave are union men,
leaders in the General Federation of
Labor, thus promising the working
man better run for his money than
in any lawmaking body got together
in France since the revolution.
The rule Of the bourgeois, or middle
class, is dead or dying, and the
day of the social reform classes ar
rived, according to impartial opinion,
and this question Is on every lip;
What will the socialists and the la
Dor members of the chamber make of
their chance? It is generally con.
coded that the next four years will tell
the tale in France so far as socialism
is concerned. They will either make
or break their party as governing
factor.
The new chamber is composed OF
602 members as against 500 in the old.
Socialists won the entire Ave newly
created seats. The radicals and the
radical socialist hold 245 seats as
against the revolutionary or unified
socialists and the Independent Social
lists 1875, but the radicals are SO split
up that as a parliamentary force they
will not be as mighty when 1t comes
time to vote as the next powerful body
in the chamber, the socialists, who
are VIGOROUSLY the best disciplined
organizations in the house. Jean
Jaures, editor of the party organ
l'I.'Humanite," has only to give tbs
sign and his followers lay down ant
roll over with every outward sign Of
being only too glad to do it. Wher
he says "bah!" II he makes little
noise so the opposite orator can't be
heard, the others make lot Of noise
SO what are the socialists going tc
do? The past week was almost en-
tirely taken up with the routine cleo
tons necessary in a new legislative
body and with seating the members
and little that was really significant
took place. Also, though the man
dates OF the old members expired aut
omatically last Sunday at midnight
and the new took their seats with full
rights on Monday, the statues say
that the legal length Of a parliament
tary session must be five months and
these five months will not be up until
June 15; hence the new deputies had

Oppose ltemized List.

"Unless so requested. never itemize
bills for jobbing or extra work. The
plan of rendering bill for a net sum
is generally sufficient"
The price list covers every conceiv-
able sort Of work which a plumber
can perform either in new work or In
repair work, and fixes price for the
same. For instance so cents must be
charged for a two-inch tap screw;
80 cents for one-inch solder union;
80 cents per foot for laying of six
inch sewer; 40 cents foot for half
inch lead service; 81 minimum for
opening into new building; and other
prices including installation of bath
tubs, lavatories and fixtures.
The rule is to charge double for
material in job work and to render no
itemized bills. In the collection OF
letters secured by the state the or
ganizers refer to many unwritten laws
OF the .rade.

HE HAS SOME EVIDENCE

Whether Attorney General George
ICosson will continue the preparation
of case against the Iowa plumbers
alleged to be in a combination 20 fix
prices. will depend upon the outcome
of the proceedings in the federal
court in which thirty-six prominent
officials Of the plumbers organiza-
ton have been indicted for alleged
illegal combination in restraint OF
trade, says Saturdays Register and
Leader.
The state has been after the plumb
ers with a big stick for fixing prices.
The federal government is prosecut-
ing them only for boycotting OF firms
engaged in the business OF selling
plumbing supplies. Nevertheless the
state officials expect that the federal
prosecution will make combinations
among them SO unpopular that further
action will not be necessary.
Gets Standard Price List.
Attorney General Cosson and Henry
e. Sampson, assistant, have posses
sion OF certain documents which they
declare tend to show that plumbers
of Des Moines and other cities Of
Iowa fix the prices on all plumbing
work through their organization. One
OF the exhibits is a brown covered
book entitled Plumbers Standard
Price List" published by the Master
Plumbers association. Accompanying
this exhibit is an oath which it is
alleged all persons joining the asso-
citation must take. A part OF this al
legged oath follows:
DO you agree to uphold the sched-
ule Of prices on material and labor as
per price book?''
The book itself shows the effect
the sanitary plumbing ordinance had
upon plumbing. The introduction
says:
Owing TO the greatly increased
cost OF labor and material used in the
plumbing business and also of the
more sanitary requirements of the
lately passed city ordinance, and
realizing tina. if plumbers are to con-
tinue in business with any degree OF
success, it is essential that they
| should make reasonable profit. With
this object in view It has been deem
| ed advisable to revise the plumbers
price list so that /. will conform to
the present requirements OF the
trade"

they come up behind "a fellow with a

recognizes the rights of both the man
with the team and the man with the
auto, and these rights should be re-
spected, There are plenty of men who
are running autos who should be driv-

men should not be treated that way

you could not get credit; but there are
