PEOPLE ARE AGAIN BALKED

1t seems that the people are again
to be denied their wishes for new
and larger electric light plant-for a
time at least. Suit to enjoin the city
officials from proceeding with the
erection of the plant as planned was
filed by three taxpayers Wednesday
morning.
The Press way back, on several occa-
sions, predict d that the new plant
would be a long time building-that
every stumbling block possible would
be put in its way by those opposed
to it, and that powerful influence
would be behind the opposition. What
this influence is need not be quoted
the people know. That the prediction
of the Press was not far wrong is
substantiated in the suit of Wednes-
day.
Much "soft soap" is used in the
daily newspaper articles covering the
suit and in the petition itself as to
the ONLY PURPOSE of the suit, that
of causing A GREAT SAVING TO
THE PEOPLE in preventing the con-
struction of the new plant-YES /?
Jelly fish and apple sauce
The plea of the petition fools no
one. There is pretty we'll estab-
lished suspicion as to just who and
what the real purpose of the suit is.
The suit was not unexpected on the

part of the great majority of Hamil-
ton people and caused no surprise
when filed. Nor was the source of its
coming surprising.
The three gentlement whose names
appear on the petition for injunction
may be honest, earnest and sincere
in their protestation, as claimed in
the article of one of the dailies that
the purpose of the suit is to save
the people of Hamilton a large sum
of money about to be expended use
lessly, far be it from the Press to
question their honesty or sincerity of
purpose, nor their wisdom either, for
we realize that for little labor paper,
for just an instant, to enter into a
battle of wits in business deal with
a successful banker, successful
newspaper man and successful man
ufacturer, would, in the eyes of few
seem ridiculous.
Nevertheless, none are infallible
and isn't it possible that just in this
instance these gentlemen are wrong
in the policy adopted? Then too,
there is that Influence" limited at
by many. And that influence is ALL
POWERFUL. And we mustn't for
get there are certain interests which
will be greatly benefited if Hamilton
goes out of the electric business on
it's own.
But casting aside the merits of
whether it is good to build the new
plant or not to build it, only the Lord
in his wisdom knows, and the Press
doesn't attempt to argue the point,
the fact remains that the people want
the new plant, they have expressed

REDs-THEIR BIG PUTsCH

Some think it is foolish to say the
Reds are launching their biggest cam
paign for recognition CT the soviet
regime. Yes?
The Journal of Commerce, whose
editor has returned from Moscow,
publishes a 40-page special Russian
edition, with lots of soviet advertise
ments and lots of lure.
Forty pages, in the Journal of
Commerce, Wall Streets mentor
That means something.
1t means that big business is swing
ing around, eager for proats, although
it is getting as much profit out Of
Russia now as there is to re got
under any circumstances
Labor alone holds the line.
And how much trickery there is to
look out for.
The reds are prolific organizers.
They make nice little organizations
with fine sounding names, to hook the
unsuspecting.
The Council for the Protection of
the Foreign Born, the Anti-Imperial-
ist League, the International Labor
Defense-these are some of the or
CARNATIONS created on orders from
Moscow to lure anti-reds into helping
the red game.
Not so bad. But you have to keep
a card index to know what is red and
what is not red.
But that 40-page edition of the
Journal of Commerce is a signal that
shows something of what's coming.
There is to be a No 2 edition of the
same kind. That will show still
more.
There's big "putsch" on the way.
American labor will be the one big
force Offering resistance in the name
of freedom and democracy-Ch Chester

themselves emphatically so on sew
eral occasions by their votes, through
their various improvement associa-
tions and Trades Council who, on
various occasions urged council and
the city officials to proceed with the
construction of the new plant and the
Press takes the stand that what the
people want, they should have, re-
gardless of the personal feelings or
the PERSONAL INTERESTS of
few.
The Press knows the sentiments
of the Hamilton people in most in
stances, it makes study of them,
and judging from expressions heard
since filing of the injunction suit,
the Press knows it speaks the truth
when it says sentiment is strong with
great majority Of THE people that
the new plant be built.
The Press firmly believes that right
will prevail, that the people will ul-
timately win out, but it is going to
be long fight. The suit filed We'd
nesday is but the opening gun in the
war against the plants erection, and
the battle will be fought over period
of years, and the Press believes that
all that those in the suit, and back of
the suit, expect from it is delay.
The REAL purpose of the suit is
DELAY, but again, and don't forget,
folks, you are fooling no one.

COUNCIL ACTS WISELY
Council, at its meeting Wednesday
night, decided to submit just one
proposition for new city hall to the
voters at the November election in
stead of three, as at first intended.
In this, council acted wisely, for with
three different proposition up chances
were that neither would carry or that
the cheapest one would have carried
and that would have been a civic
crime. We have waited long time
for a new city building, long after
one was actually needed, but better
wait much longer time than to build
one that doesn't come up to the times
or one that will not meet the city's
needs for many years to come, or
one that we can't point to in years
to come with pride. We don't want
to get into the position where future
generations can charge us with lack
of vision
So council did the wise thing when
it decided to put just one proposition
to the voters. Council decided the
highest priced one ($4O0,OOO) to be
the best and proper one. And most
all citizens who favor a new building
will agree council is right. If this
proposition carries the land can be ac-
quired on High street, from Monu-
ment avenue to the first alley east
back to Market street, and a building

put on it that will be q credit to the
city for many, many years to come,
and with the new hotel and soldiers
monument across the street go far
towards establishing that civic center
we have dreamed of for 10, these many
years.
You've got to hand it to council
members, however, for when they
first decided to submit three PROPOSE
tions they only meant it for the best,
believing the people should decide
just what kind of new city hall should
be built. After due consideration,
however, council members concluded
that either real city hall or none,
at this time, would be the best propo-
sition for consideration. And in this
everyone agrees council is right.
