The story is told of veteran of the
Civil War who returned to the home
of his boyhood to attend banquet
given by the old boys. The diners
were all men he had known as young
sters. He expected them to talk over
old times. Instead, one talked inces-
sanity about his bad liver; another
discoursed on his weak heart; a third
had lot to say about his kidney
trouble, and so it went on. When the
veteran returned to his home he was
asked how he enjoyed the banquet.
Banquet he replied, showing

HoYNE GETS CHANCE TO FIGHT
FOR THE MEN AND THE CITY
Maclay Hoyne, private citizen,
jumped at the chance when he was
asked to represent the wage earners
in arbitration of their wage demands
on the street railways.
Maclay Hoyne, states attorney,
has been fighting for years in vain
attempt to open the books of these
same street railways. Figures, he
says, that would prove interesting to
the citizen who pays the nickles are
contained therein.
His recent attempt to prove the
claim that the street railway mag
mates are holding city streets Illegal
ly and that the 1907 traction ordin-
ances are not lawful lost out because
he could not get the company's rec
ords into court.
And he has been cycling the meth
DDS of operation of the car companies
for some time.
Now comes his opportunity. Any
record in the offices of the car COM
panies which is demanded by two of
the three arbiters must be produced
With the cooperation of Mayor
Thompson, Hoyne can now bring
any record of the car companies into
the council chamber during the oper-
atoms of the arbiters and have fig
ures which he desires read into the
minutes of the arbitration proceed
ings.
Aware of the probability of this re-
suit, the car bosses refused arbitra-
ton under terms which demanded
access to traction secrets. 1t was
only after Chicago had been tied up
for two days and the council, had
passed an ordinance prohibiting the

Hoyne may have a chance to an
swer for the public these questions:
How much of the $31 100000
which the street railways have paid
their stockholders in the last five
years is interest on "watered" stock.
1t has been claimed that some of the
surface lines are mortgaged far be-
yond their physical value.

600 a year for running the Chicago

car men must strike to get a living
wage?
Does the city get it's SIS per cent
of the net profits of the car compa-
MES as it was intended in the ordi-
nances of 1907?
Where does the nickel go which
you pay the conductor? How is it
split?
A sight into the books of the car
companies may answer at least
some of these riddles. Hoyne will
help the car men and probably get a
chance to get some interesting fig
ures for the city on the side.
