Apropos of the work lately done by

He complimented Mr.. Stirratt
and his assistants heartily upon
the clearness, accuracy and COM

menting upon the fact that the
membership figures were astonish-
ing and gratifying. He asked for
Is copies. OF the report to present
before the annual conference of
state association officers in Starv-
ed Rock, Ill, Sept 10 to 81, as a
model for other local associations
to follow.

A hearing on the phone service
viii take place before the Illinois
state public utilities commission
next Tuesday morning at Chicago.
At that time Mayor Schriver and
City ATTORNEY John K Scott will
endeavor to have the utilities COM
mission order the company to give
better service. According to the
opinion of officials here, the state
body will at the most order the
company to improve its service
The company then will have to act
by taking back the strikers at their
demands or make other provisions.
Hope is held out that a decision
in Chicago may end the strike. If
the company still refuses to grant
their increase however, it is ex-
pec5ed that trouble might brew as
the company may bring in more
strike breakers. The enforcement
of an order from the utilities COM
mission will be up to Attorney
General Brundage.
Numerous protests against the
service of the company are being
received at the mayors Office.
Thirty had arrived by this morning
and large number is expected be-
fore the first of next week. The
complaints are to be used by the
officials at the hearing in Chicago,
each showing the name, address
and Phone number of the complain
ant, what kind Of service, if any
has been rendered since the strike,
and whether or not any rebate was
given by the company.

Pleased With The Chautauqua

Except for the Ghautauque, little
has been happening in Albuquerque
during the past week. But the Chau-
talqua was enough 1T was a success
for everybody except the Redpath-
Horner company. which lost about
seven hundred dollars for the benefit
of the people of this city. The guar
antee did not meet the expense, and
the attendance was badly hampered
BY the rains, which have been con-
tinuous. much as one expects this time
of the year on the coast. but the like
of which the oldest inhabitant never
has seen or heard of in Albuquerque.
The Chautauqua was a great sue
cess. both for old and young people.
There was much of interest to the
kiddies, but probably nothing else
quite so good as the Mother Goose
features OF the morning, open to every
child of the community.
The lectures were all good-some
of them excellent. If there was any
objection it was because of the length
Of some of the speakers, ChautauQua
lecturers are not expected to limit
addresses to twenty minutes, but
when one goes over sixty minutes, 1t
becomes a bore to most of the people
present and is relished by none,
The music and the play We're all
that could be expected, and the peo-
pie of Albuquerque on the last night
gave the most practical testimony of
their pleasure by putting up the nee
essary pledges to insure a Chautau-
qua next year.
