REPORT DISCUSSES.
STATE REGULATION
WAGES AND HOURS
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Springfield, Mass, Nov. 80.-State
or municipal regulation Of wages,
hours and conditions of employment
of public utility employees, was dis
cussed in report presented yester-
day to the National Municipal
League convention by Delos F. VIII
cox, chairman of the committee on
franchises, who was for several
years chief of the bureau of fran
chises of the New York State Public
Service Commission for the first dis
trict.
The interest of the public in the
continuity of operation of public util-
tiles is sufficient, says the report, to
warrant the employment of legal
measures to prevent strikes, especial
y on street railway and telephone
systems, but the committee recog-
aizes that the right to strike cannot
be taken away from such employees,
Until the public in some way guaran-
ees that the employees interests az
% wages, hours of labor and con-
ditions of work will be conserved.
Discussing the right of corpora
tons to earn a fair return, the COM
mittee points out that in most cases
pubic utility services are worth
more than the consumers have to pay
Tor them, and that the public might
veil afford to pay higher rates, if
revenues at existing rates were in
sufficient TO afford the employee a
living wage and the corporation a
living income.
| The committee was in favor of in
serting certain general clauses in
ranchise grants, not determining
pecific schedules of wages and hours.
ut establishing q definite method for
ne settlement of labor disputes as
hey may arise.
The report continues:
''The committee does not favor the
principle of fixing wages and hours
IF labor in specific cases by legisla-
i've act without investigation. Leg
station, like franchise contracts
hould concern itself primarily with
he establishment of general princi-
2les and the creation of means foI

isputes as they arise. The commit

Decides Big Suit.

A suit of wide prominence has been
finally decided in the United States
court at Jacksonville by Judge Call
in favor of the plaintiff, Walter r.

suit in 1911 against Walter Waldin,
to gain title to certain lands declared
to be held in trust for Comfort. The
land involved comprises 100 acres sit
uated just west of Musa Isle, and IS
valued at over one hundred thousand
dollars, and was bought by MIR. Com
