Give S. E. It's Own Medicine

1t makes powerful lot OF difference to the traction
company whose is being gored
Ii for reason public convenience and necessity
demands that the company unpatroe stand
and get the band with the shpbudng and other
large industries which have recognized right of their
pioyes to organize and whose business is OF vital
interest to the public than that OF the car lines
And so we call attention of President Alton w. Leonard
and his associates MesSrs Badee and Pratt OF Boston
the time back in May. 1908 when the Seattle Electric
Power Co, used the plea of PUBLIC CONVENIENCE to
force competing company to sell out at whatever terms
happened TO suit Stone & Webster
In 1900, when Stone Webster into control OF
the Seattle Electric Co, the S T. Co began buying much
contract that was made TO create virtual monopoly IN
violation of the Snoquame eompanys franchise.
Along in 1905 the $ T. Co. began building its Elecron
power plant and the Snoquame company oresaw its finish
as soon the plant able to furnish the power it
furnishing So the Snoquame company refused longer
70 furnish the S F. Co.. hoping by that refusal
itself from a forced sale
1t turned off its power in May. 1905 The S. f. crowd
nn,ediately asked for and granted injunction
strainng the Snoquame company from disseminating its
service until its new plant was completed
And the grounds upon which the S T. got its injunction
was that of PUBLIC NECESSITY"
The said that the with the Snoqualmie
eompany illegal and that it didn't anything about
the between the companies but that
ested in the pubic's interest
The public in that vitality interested in light
power and street service without interruption.
And the supreme court upheld the lower court in putting
the public ahead OF all other considerations
Right and for week past. the Seattle public has
been interested in the matter OF service The traction
company depnvng the public OF service because hap
pens to dislike the idea OF its employees exercising their
lawful American right organize
II the rule invoked by the 6. f Co. back in 1908
was invoked by the people OF Seattle it to
that the plain result would be that the
would order the traction company to take its unonized
back work obey its franchise obligation abitrate a
of employment and give the service its franchise
calls for
1t that the would say that the rule
t1e f. Co. helped establish, when lining its pockets
the expense OF competitor which il aerwad acquired
n violation of constitution good
when it first sealed with the approval of the supreme
court.
Good LAWYERS tell that the city can for and
order for the s. +. Co and the Snoquame company
10 unmerge and that then the could acquire the Sno
qualmie company furnish the additional power that
needed will be for the people who daily switch
ing from s. Z. lines city light lines.
However that may be- aren't lawyers but
that the s. F. isn't displaying the regard for the pub
Hes interests that it did in 1908.

Man Scoops Up Bees
by Double Handfuls

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa. July al
There was a busy, buzzy time In
the office OF the Adams Express
company here when crate OF bees
consigned to John Carson. OF
Worcester. was dropped by it's
handlers. Immediately there was
a buzzing. and soon the handlers
we're running from the office.
screaming with pain.
Just then VIM. Earnshaw, Of
Bridgeport, happened along. He
saw the crowd standing at safe
distance. and, upon learning the
cause. went into the express office.
gathered up the bees by double
handfuls and replaced them in the
hives. which he repaired, while
spectators looked on with wonder.
Earnshaw keeps bees and has n
large apiary. and that's why he was
able to handle the honey makers
so they did not harm him.

A Voluntary Wage Increase.

In recognition of the higher cost of
living incidental in large part to the
war, the Capital Traction Company of
this city has voluntarily increased the
pay of its employees This is a most
commendable action, calculated to
strengthen the feeling of loyalty of the
men toward the corporation. It is graft
flying that this readjustment of pay has
been effected without friction-in fact.
at the initiative of the employer. The
spirit of cooperation, of interest in the
welfare of the workers prompts it and
to the extent that it makes for better
service through greater contentment
and satisfaction in working conditions
on the part of the operatives Of the sys-
tenn it is contribution to the public
convenience and accommodation. It is
a praiseworthy action, appreciated BY
both the employees and by the com.
munity.
