Grain Gambling Must Pass

Chicago grain brokers refuse to let Uncle Sam see
their books in his investigation of charges that gam
bling in grain has raised the price of the people,

Some day, we are going to treat gambling in grain,
which makes folks go hungry, just as treat gam
bling in ivory chips which only parts fools and their
money. That is, not going to look upon it as
business, but suppress it.

Calm Yourself, Mr.. Mayor

If other evidence were lacking to show that Mayor
Fawcett off the track, it would be supplied by
statement he caused to be printed in Sunday paper
In this he charges that The Times has cast its lot
with the enemies of the people and that it is conduct
ing campaign to dscredit him before the taxpayers
Bosh, Mayor!
The Times last Friday printed an article mention
ing the fact that the four other commissioners had
called Fawcetts bluff and preparing to ignore
him so long as he persisted in his peanut way
And The Times stands ready to say a number Of
other very plain things in the five entrust

THE most hopelessly inefficient organization
in the electrical world today is . the American
telegraph system. In New Zealand, which has
parallel labor conditions and wages, the average
telegraph employee handles eleven kilograms a
day to eight handled in this country New Zea-
land has seven offices for every one in the
United States, although this country sends As
messages to New Zealand's II, and the cost here
is an average of 45 cents, compared to Is cents
in the Antipodes Congressman David j.
Lewis, before Chicago City club
Newcomb Carlton, head of the Western Union,

ice by the payment of man-sze wages.
