CIGAR GIRLS :"
ARE DEFIANT

DETROIT, l1:ch., Nov, 16.-When
Judge collingwood passed sentence
on Martha Balm, Anna Hoffman and
Celia Orkey, three striking cigar
lating an Injunction that restrained
them from picketing cigar shop
where they had been previously en-
ployed, he was astonished at the nom
chalant and Indifferent manner in
which they accepted the sentence he
imposed. At the conclusion of the
judges imposition of prison sem
tences, Miss Haffman said: II thank
you, judge, for your sentence Of fif-
teen days."
IF I am guilty on the testimony
of these 'scabbers,' I am willing to
take my fifteen days." was Miss Ok
rey's challenge to the judge.
80 I get thirty days for striking
for living wage, eh?' was Miss
Bains defiant response to the an
nouncement of the judge.
Judge Collingwood had been
brought in from Lansing to try the
strikers and impose sentence, quite a
common practice that has been intro
duced lately probably to shift the re-
sponsibility that might follow a local
judge when he should appeal to the
workers for reelection.
Five others were brought into court
and found guilty of picketing and
sentence was deferred until Nov. 49,

MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP
IS SUCCESS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17.-Com-
plete success of municipal ownership
of street railway lines in this city is
testified to by The Bulletin, which
says:
Municipal ownership did not win
its fight in San Francisco without a
struggle. 1t is not difficult to remem-
ber the weighty arguments that were
used to discourage the taking over
of the Geary street road. One argu-
ment was that the road was certain
to be mismanaged, since it was mu-
nicipal enterprise, and all municipal
enterprises are doomed to be mis-
managed; that it would fail to pay
expenses, and that the taxpayers
would have to make good an annual
deficit. Now the success of the city
lines is SO generally taken for grant
ed that the yearly reports of net
profits creates no surprise.

managers have been able to meet all
operating expenses, all overhead
charges, and still have nearly $4,000
in the cash register. But his silent
acceptance of the gift Of honest
transportation does not represent
apathy.
IF anybody tried to take the mu-
nicipal roads away from the city his
roar Of Indignation would be heard
across the continent.
''This is the way new issues make
their way in the world-f1rst to be
fought over, then to be installed un.
der the pressure of a majority, and
finally to be cheerfully accepted by
everyone as an every day, mater OF
course, like sunrise and breakfast .
