AS the time for city council vote
on the Automatic phone ordinance
draws closer, the attack on Walter L.
Fisher gets fiercer.
Fishers record from start to finish
as a corporation operator will be an
alyzed on the council floor. He is
the prop on which unwilling alder
men are leaning. The prop is going
to be knocked from under, according
to labor and public ownership men
who are going to carry their fight
into every ward where an alderman
has voted with the phone trust.
Corporation Counsel Ettelson's ap-
pointment of Fisher as special coun-
sci in the telephone deal is discussed
in a letter of Chicago Federation of
Labor to aldermen. For two years
before getting on as head city law
yer, Sam Ettelson was lawyer for
Chicago Utilities Co., asking alder
men to vote for sale of the Automatic
and crying that forfeiture would be
crime. Ettelson's quick appointment
of Fisher to advise aldermen on the
phone situation was a good job for
Ettelson's clients, the Armours and
other capitalists owning the Auto
matte phone system, according to the
federation letter. 1t says:
"The attitude of Fisher warrants
us in saying that Samuel Ettelson, at
torney for the Automatic interests,
now corporation counsel, could have
made no better selection in the ap-
pointment of a special city counsel
to protect Ettelson's former clients
interest. Fishers attitude is astound-
ing, receiving pay as city attorney
and working for the telephone in
terests."
Item for item comparison is made
between Fisher, who is Mayor
Thompson's attorney, and Judge
Stephen Foster, who is attorney for
the council gas-oil committee. The
lineup:

LABOR BODY COMPARES PHONE REPORTS OF
WALTER FISHER AND JUDGE FOSTER

Foster says the city has a good
case and believes the city would gain
ownership of Automatic phone sys-
tenn and probably the tunnels, if court
action were pushed. Shows docu-
mentary proof that when Automatic
system was in receivers hands, at
torneys and receivers held that for
fixture clause was valid.
Fisher holds that if sale is made
city should receive 100000 and this
is a fair price.
Foster holds that the city should
receive the difference between the
physical value and the sale price
This is $4,OOO,OOO, or So, 100000 more
than Fisher stands for.
Fisher holds city will receive at end
of tunnel grant, 1929, only the tun-
nels, and not the telephone conduits.
Foster says original grant made no
distinction between tunnels and the
conduits. City is entitled to both
tunnels and phone conduits.
Fisher is silent as a sleeping owl
about the contract of sale entered
into by the tunnel interests and the
Bell monopoly (American Telephone
& Telegraph Co...
Foster says this contract of sale is
a violation of the forfeiture clause
tending to make competition null and
void. City has right to declare prop
erty forfeited on this contract as well
as the clause providing for 10000
bona-fide subscribers.
Fisher advises against forfeiture
and in favor of sale.
Foster advises forfeiture proceed
ings. Ownership of Automatic phone
system would put city in powerful po-
sition in 1918 when question of rate
revision and city ownership of Chi
cago Telephone Co. system is up.

How Cadillac "8" Helps
Cold Weather Motoring

Every motorist who operates his car
in winter knows the annoyance of the
warming up" period which must fol-
low starting the engine after it has
stood over night in n cold garage or
for several hours on the street. So the
device on the Cadillac eight which
facilitates warming up is of interest to
all motorists.
This device exercises thermostatic
control over the fluid in the cooling
system and. like many other motor car
Developments, was inaugurated by the
Cadillac Company. The thermostats,
of which there are two-one for each
block of cylinders-operate in connec-
tion with valves which open and close
as the thermostats expand and con-
tract with heat and cold.
When the engine and radiator are
cold, the valves are closed, and the
water i'm the radiator is practically cut
off from that in the water Jackets of
| the cylinders. After the engine is
started the liquid surrounding the cyl
/ inter blocks rises in temperature and
the thermostat valves open slowly.
/ Without the thermostat. all the liquid
in the cooling system would have to
I be heated before the engine would run
well, whereas with the thermostats
only small quantity has to be warmed
I at the outset, and the thermostat
valves admit the water from the
radiator as the temperature of the
/ fluid rises.
The device is wholly automatic in
/ its action. 1t enables the engine to
reach its highest efficiency much more
/ quickly than would be possible If ii
We're necessary to heat the entire vol
ume of circulating fluid before that
efficiency were obtained.

Big Weight Reduction
in OldsmobiIe Cars

Together with the tendency toward
lower prices. which has created more
or less furore and comment. in the
automobile business this season. has
been the marked disposition of some
of the leading concerns to usher in
radical revision in the weights of their
cars" declares r. S. Cans. local repre-
sentative in charge of the East End
Auto Company.
THE light car is now a permanent
fixture in the business and seems des-
tined to grow in popularity. If we may
accept as evidence the fact that some
manufacturers for 1915 have made
weight reductions of considerably
more than a thousand pounds under
their former models-as have the
manufacturers of the Oldsmobile.
Both their 1915 light four and
new eight-cyllnder models, which have
supplanted their famous Six of q
year ago. are lighter by almost 1900
pounds"
