STATE CANNOT UPSET
FRANCHISE DETAILS
CITIES HAVE SOLE RIGHT TO FIX
PROVISIONS, SUPREME
COURT SAYS.

The public service commission has
no authority to over-rule provisions
Of franchise given by city to a
street car company. in increasing the
fare to be charged or in any other re-
spect, the state supreme court unan-
imously ruled the latter part of last
week In passing upon the mandamus
suit started by the Tacoma Railway
& Power company to compel the
commission to grant it q higher fare
than S cents. and to relieve 1t from
paving Its right Of way. paying a
gross earnings tax to the city. and
other franchise provisions.
The decision upholds the view
taken by. the majority of the commits
sion, Commissioners F. r. Spinning
and Arthur Lewis. The court de-
clares that the Legislature specifically
granted cities the power to make
rranohiseS and that there is nothing
In the public service commission law
which gives the commission author
ity to deal with franchises. asserting
that "the legislature did not intend
to grant this power or 1t would have
put 1t In the law"
"The public service commission
law Is remedial and should be given
a liberal construction the court
says. but that does not mean the
court shall write proyisos or condi-
tions into the statute where the leg
islature has placed none. or write out
any section Of an act the legislature
has placed there"
III, as found by the commission, !"
the court says in another place. "the
revenue Of the company based on the
scent fare is not sufficient to pro-
vide an adequate and sufiicient serv-
ice and at the same time afford q
reasonable and proper income to the
company. the remedy Is with the leg
islative branch Of the government
and not with the court"
All Of the judges concur in the de-
cision. which was written by Judge
Main.

HIGHER WAGES TAKE
| PLUMBERS FROM YARD
THIRTY MEN LEAVE SLOAN'S TO
GET MORE PAY IN OTHER
! PLANTS.

L Because Of the big difference be-
tween the wages being paid at the

steam-fitters employed at the big
yard quit Wednesday morning and
have since gone to work elsewhere.
some here. some In down-Sound ship
yards and some at Aberdeen.
Negotiations for an increase In
wages had been started with oficials
at the yard by the men six weeks
ago, they say, and two weeks ago
were presented to Federal Examiner
Henry Mcbride, at Seattle. Wednes-
day. May /. new scale went into
effect In commercial establishments
on the Pacific coast $1.l3 per day
higher than the scale paid at the
yard, and the men quit to get jobs
paying these higher wages.
The men went to work at the yard
for $5.25 q day, while for the past
year, they say. the commercial shop
scale has been 5000. Their craft
was not specified in the Macey COM
mission agreement, the only benefit
they received from that being the 10
per cent bonus. making their wages
$5.77h a day. When they present
cd their request for raise, they
asked to be paid the same as the car
penters, or $3.50 day. and they say
the yards at Aberd en- and Seattle
have been paying that rate for some
time.
May the scale In plumbing es-
tablishments throughout the North
west advanced to $3.50 q day and
when the local yard failed to meet
their request for increased wages.
they quit to 60 to work where the
higher wages are paid.
