case attracted considerable attention
in Schuylkill county and the decision
is important because Commissioner
Brecht, who wrote the decision. says
Certain local conditions may exist
that would make it unduly burden
some upon the operating company to
make extensions to its plant equip
ment without some estimate or as
surance of the probable consumption
from the consumer for a comparative
ly limited period that might be taken
as an index of the prospective earn
ings from such extension"
Mr.. Brecht also remarks The mere
fact of having corporate rights and
authority to exercise the same within
borough is not in and of itself
sufficient and compelling reason un-
der all circumstances and conditions
why a public service company should
be required to. extend its service to
any portion of the town on the ap-
plication of a prospective consumer
residing within the borders of the
municipality.

II is not only the conviction. but the

The opposition Of labor organizations
TO Mr.. DurleSon is only incidental TO
th,. major grievances of The general
public. II is rather suggestive, how
ever. that the latest demand for his re,
moval on tho part Of organized labor
comes from his home town. Austin.
Texas. where the Trades Council of
that city unanimously adopted r"solu-
ton calling upon President Wilson :"
relieve the Postmaster General of his

MIR. NEWLANDS' DEATH

The sudden death Of Senator New
lands. OF Nevada. on Christmas eve.
was quite depressing 10 administration
circles. as we'll as adding touch or
sadness to the festal occasion for the
entire Senate membership. Senator
Eewlands was literally taken in the,
harness. being engaged in trying 10
evolve some plan which would obyiate
the governments assumption Of com.
plete control Of the railroads OF the
country. IL Is evident that the great
mental strain this complex problem in
volyed bore heavily on the chairman
OF the Interstate Commerce Commit
tee. and superinduced the attack Of
heart failure. which resulted in death a
few hours after he was stricken.
The passing of Senator Newlands ar
this time is likely 20 embarraSs the
President in the perfection Of his plan
for the relief of tho railroad situation.
as he held the closes personal relat-
ions with him. ami Was one Of the
shameless supporters o: 'he admins
tration. as we'll aS one 81 the most ra'
lightencd party leaders on The floor o.
the Senate. The p.m6i'ratic party has
too few leaders OF broad thought and
OF statesmanlikc qualities thar II can
afford 10 lose one ii such eminent abili-
ties as the Nevada senator The coun-
Try. too. will b. y sufferer in the sllenc.
ing Of such loyal voirs and t"rven'
patriotic spirit.
