BY the public utilities commission in the
case OF Irving r. Linscott and Others
against the Brownfleld Electric Com.
pany, declaring that the service being
rendered by the company is inadequate Q
and reasonably good service cannot be
obtained that the rates charged for serv-
Ice BY the company taking into consider
alton all the circumstances are unreason-
ably high and that the company on or
before May 1, 1920, either by obtaining
an adequate supply of electric energy
from some generating company, or 9th
erwise, put itself 10 position to render
adequate and dependable service In the
territory which II is occupying.
The order further states that II the
company declines to put itself In . posi-.
tiOn to render adequate service that 1t
shall on or before Jan. l, 1920, furnish
the commission tentative inventory OF
such OF its property ss 1t claims the Con-
sumers' Electric Company should take

trio Company as the Consumers Electric
Company can reasonably use in Its bust
ness, indicating In such agreement what

ing its willingness to submit to such sp-
praisal and pay for such property the

Failing to enter into such an agree
ment with the Brownfield Electric Com
paDy the Consuner Electric Company
is to notify the public utilities commits
sion what property of the Brownfield

pay for and how an appraisal or valua-
ton and determination Of the amount to
be paid therefor shall be made. In case

tion of the Consumers Electric Com
pany In this cause Is denied.

Yates: Rustling Situation

Dickinson. n. D., Dec. l7.-In view
of the fact that the attorney generals
office was so crippled by the special
session that it can no longer employ
special assistance in the running down
of cattle-rustlers, an activity In which
great success had been shown during
the last six months, much interest
called for today, at which time it is
expected that livestock producers Of
the slope will endeavor to organize a
private te'association which will supply
funds for the carrying on of this
work. = se
LANCER Has Been Active.
Since Attorney General LANCER be-
gan his campaign against cattle and
horse thieves, fifteen alleged rustters
have been rounded up. a. number Of
them have been convicted or have
pleaded guilty and are now in the
state penittentiary. while others are
their trial. Probably the most notable
capture was that of the Guyer gang.
charged with having run $4,000
worth of cattle and horses across the
state line to their ranch on the Grand
river, below MobridEe. The Guyers
were apprehended by agents. of the

taken while she was held in jail al

getting the goods on the Guyers.
100000 Worth Stolen.
Operations of alleged rustlers taken
in hangers drag-net covered the
whole slope. Hardly a county west OF

these alleged cattle and horse-thteves

cost livestock men fully 100000 dur.

the states attorneys of these severa

The Function Of
organized Industry

here has been great want of
appreciation on both sides Of the IN
Wustrlal controversy Of the common
interest of employers and employees
III serving the public faithfully and
efficiently. The function Of organ
ICED industry is to render this ser
vice, and if this high purpose is
kept largely in view all parties Will
be benefited. On the wage earncrs
side and in the minds CT the public
generally there is a failure to un-
derstand not only the risks and re
sponslbihties of the employers 20
sition but the fact that proprie-
tors profits create the fund by
winch the progress Of industry is
financed, and that industrial prog
ress IS the basis Of social progress.
On the other hand, too many
employers fail to understand that
the increasing production of goods
which is constantly resulting from
industrial improvements can be
taken off the market only as the pur-
chasing power of the masses is in
creased. The great army of labor
ing people constitute the market,
and their consumption must rise
pd1'l passa with production to pre-
vent congestion of product. No
one employer is il position Of in
dependence, but the whole situation
viii greatly improve as a knowl-
edge of mutual relations and inter
ests pcrvadcs the body of both
classes.
Upon good understanding between
employers and wage carners prosper
ity undoubtedly depends There is no
end to the work which ought to be
done in the world, and the ultimate
purpose of all of it is to minister
TO the comfort and welfare of the
masses.
