PREPARE FOR FIGHT AGAINST
PHONE COMBINE

"Our slogan: A telephone in every
home at a penny a call" says the
front page of printed statement on
the automatic phone situation issued
for campaign use by the Penny
Phone league and Is other organiza-
lions.
To let the Chicago Telephone Co.
gobble the automatic system would
be a surrender to the six men who
now control all the public utilities of
Chicago, it is pointed out, and there

/ Among the 16 organizations whose
delegates sign the demand are the
Woman's City club, the Political
Equality league, Chicago Federation
Of Labor, Chicago Progressive club,
Woman's Trade Union league, Wom-
ans Party of Cook County, Public
Affairs Commission, Single Tax club
and Socialist and Prohibition parties.
On the right of the city to seize the
automatic property, the statement
says:
"The forfeiture clause in. a fran
ehise is the city's greatest protection
from abuse by public service cOrpOr-
atoms. Shall we throw it away?
Failure to enforce this clause in the
automatic telephone ordinance rem
ders the forfeiture clauses in similar
franchises equally useless.
'The present corporation counsel
was member of the firm that repre-
scented the automatic company inter
ests, even after he was appointed as
sistant corporation counsel for the
city. Is he the proper person to rep
resent the city in this matter if for
fixture proceedings are commenced?
Are we justified in asking for the ap-
'pOintment of special counsel to pro-
tect our interests?
six men control all of the public
utilities of Chicago? Are we willing
to permit these six men now holding
property belonging to the city by
right of forfeiture to sell this prop
ETY. to the telephone trust for $780,

pockets? Are we, as citizens of Chi
cago, ready to surrender further

DUTCH GOVERNMENT
 DECREASE

AMSTERDAM, June 29.-The pub llshed statement of the receipts of the Netherlands government, from all forms of taxation and state enterprises for the month of April, shows that while the war Is not only increasing the cost of running the Dutch govern ment, it is also decreasing it's rev enues. This Is sad news for ths Hol. landers, who already find the burden of the expenses of the mobilization we'll nigh intolerable, when added to the ordinary expenses of life. Long before the war, taxes in the Neither lands were remarkably high. Every Dutch child started life with the handicap of his share in over s200, ,000 per day of taxes for expenditures which are unknown in any other coun- try of the wold. In Holland it is an existance tax; for it costs that much to maintain dykes to keep a great part of the Netherlands from being over run by the sea.
 The annual budget in Holland is carefully calculated to produce a certain figure through taxes when the revenues fall below that figure, as in the month of April, extra imposts are necessary and lead to growing dis satisfaction among the people who pay taxes. This year, the month of April exhibits a shortage of $4,992,S04 com pared with the revenues of the cor responding month of last year. So

LONDON, June 29.-From the early days of May, contracts for war dam age insurance on property in Italy made up a considerable total of the daily business at Lloyd's in London Rates, however, showed no increase between May 1 and May 22, indicat, ing that the market from the first had regarded war as inevitable.
 The premiums asked on this cras- of insurance varied for different Italian cities. For property at Udine, on the Austrian frontier, per cenr was asked. The rate for Venice was 1 per cent; Ancona, per cent; Brindisi and Como, 2h per cent: Padua, ? per cent; and Rome. Palermo or Bologna, per cent. In al, cases the policies were for a period of si, months.

PARIS, June 29.-Warm weather has finally brought fashion back to the Boisede Boulogne-war fashion par ticularly. The other morning were noticed, taking their morning ride. a pretty American girl in the costume of boy scout and an English girl in Khaki, leggings, flat crowned cap and all. On foot was another girl in a blue skirt giving a perfect illusion of dark blue trousers with black stripe down the legs. There was also a pretty blonde with the blouse of a marine and brunette in a cantInieres red tunic and pale blue skirt. Horizon blue tunics-in perfect imitation of the new regulation infantry blue with green and red trimmings are now
 very common. The only war costume that is not very closely imitatde in extreme fashions Is the red cross; it IS prohibited by government decree.

W A R INSURANCE SHOWED N0 ;,
 INCREASE

MANCHESTER, Eng, June 2s.- The biggest increase in wages ever granted in any of the coal mining dis triots of Great Britain has just been awarded to the 100000 miners em- ployed in the districts presided over by the Coal Cancellation Board for England and North Wales.
 The award gives an advance of 15k per cent from May on the actual wages earned by the men on that date. This Is equivalent to an advance of 25 per cent on the so-called standard fixed under the Minimum Wage Act.
 A colliery owner testified at the last meeting of the board that many of his men were earning s5 a day under the old standard. It is expected that the granting of this latest advance will greatly stimulate production, as the ! narrow margin of coal on hand is causing the government mucn anxiety. The Cancellation Board, in granting the increase, added the following statement:
 "The board strongly urges all min CTS associations to take such steps as, in their judgment, are needful to insure the fullest possible attendance at their work of all workmen in the federated area."

great is this deficit in proportion, and so close have the figures. this year, in the first three months, run to the figures of last years receipts for the same period, that, with the April deficit, the revenues for the four months of 1915 show a loss of s. lS3,7O9 over the same period of 1914
 The principal deficits lie in the re. ceipts from the inheritance taxes. and in the excise on sugar. The former fall s1,065. 500 short of last years figures, while the latter fails by $33S,S0G of touching the sum received from that source in April 1914.
 The immense increase in taxation which will be necessary to pay the expenses of mobilization, and the large number of laborers out of work through the suspension industries vitally affected or temporarily dis. commoded by the logn continuance of hostilities, makes the outlook for the taxpayer in the Netherlands far from bright Already, the three great cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague, aggregatlng almost a million and a half souls, have estab- llshed municipal distribution of bread to the needy and issued bread cards to those in want.
