TRACTION AND GAS PRO-
GRESS.-Chicago business pubIca-
lions are saying it is better to boost
than to knock the public utilities.
They point to ST. Louis as a sample
of what knocking the public utilities
will do. And this from a speech by
Festus J. Wade, president Mercantile
Trust Co., before the Business Mems
league of that city is quoted:
walk through the downtown
streets of St. Louis at night and it
looks like a city of the dead. Walk
through these streets in the daytime
and find that Is per cent of the office
buildings are idle. The banks of st.
Louis have made no substantial pro
gTess in the last Is years.
To-day it is a popular thing to get
up before the 81 varieties of Organi-
cations which st. Louis has and con-
denim public utility corporations for
not furnishing a seat for every pas
senger or saying that the electric or
gas rates are too high"
Against this argument Reedy's
Mirror of st. Louis points to Cleve-
land, o. If there's any town in this
country where the public utilities
have been lambasted and cracked

sHIPBUILDING INCREASES.
Census Report Shows Fewer Estab
lishments Than in 1909.

Increase in the new vessel construc-
ton in 1914 as compared with 1909 is
shown in a report on shipbuilding just
issued by the census bureau. In this
period there was a decrease in the
number of establishments engaged in
ship construction.
Reports were received from 1,145 es-
Establishments engaged in the industry
in 1914, whose products-that is, con-
struction and repair work done-during
the year were valued al SS,6S2.071. At
the 1909 census there were reported
1853 establishments, with products
valued at s73, 360.315. The number of
esta blishments for 1914 was therefore
less than the number reported for 1909
by EOS, but the value of products In
creased by 20.9 per cent.
In addition. in 1914, IS establishments
engaged primarily in the manufacture
of products other than vessels and boats

Strong Union Labor Plank.

We demand the fullest encourage
ment,' it reads. both in. administra-
tive law and in the judicial process of
union labor. To make this declara ton
effective we point out that today and
in the past the power of courts and
other legal processes has been used
against the rights of the workers to
associate themselves in labor unions.
We condemn these practices as being
in violation of the spirit, at least OF
the federal law securing to the workers
the legal right of voluntary associa-
ton.
We denounce the practice. which
prevails in no other civilized country,
of permitting private interests both to
employ the state and national soidiery
and to employ armed guards and de-
tectiveS to crush out unions which are
organized to promote the industrial In
terestS of the wage workers.
we denounce particularly in this
connection the Importation from one
state to another of such armed guards
and of machine guns, armored cars,
motor cars and the like. And we
pledge the enactment of all possible
legislation to prevent such private
usurpation of power"

Members of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association were ex-
pected to put their unqualified approval
on the plank today, and representatives
of the woman's party already have in
dorsed it. The latter organization in
sists that adoption of the plank should
be followed by immediate action in
Congress. but that, it was pointed out
is something over which the platform
makers have no control. If the plank
is adopted, however, leaders of the
woman's party will turn attention to
Congress and try to force the Susan
B. Anthony amendment through both
houses before adjournment of the
present session.
The plank was sent to the suffra gists
after it had been scrutinized carefully
by Secretary Daniels and other promi-
nent democrats. The main draft was
written by man who has been active
for both the suffra gists and democratic
leaders.

do not follow it up. and they expect to
take no chances. They will vigorously
