company will be glad to replace quarter meters with
regular meters for consumers who desire them.
The schedule reduction in the gas
bills of all consumers using 1,4OO #. of gas
per month.

induce to increase the consumption of gas
The gas company renders 2226 bills year showing
L
consumption of 500 cubic feet per BILL ess the total
bills rendered during the year 1920.
The gas company loses money during the winter
and spring months and operates at profit during the
and fall months, due to the increased consump
ton during those months The first five months of 1926
showed increase in sales of $1,000 the sales of
the period last year. The sales during 1925

for first five months of 1925 and earnings for the
period in 1926 ST 1924 than the earnings

from show comparatively little increase and
increased due increased sales will be confined

who by their of gas making it possible to have
gas at any price, to increase their consumption by
sallng additional appliances such automatic storage
water heaters, and thus increase the sales of the
company and make il possible further reduce
sales increase.

Hangs Like a Rarnscle.
At this meeting, Millstein demanded
that in this meeting he and his gang
have all the say. Israelson and Fin
klesteip the new president, warned
Millstein that the old officers have no
right to decide anything and their only
duty and function was to turn over
affairs to the new officials.
In spite of this warning, the Mill
stein group of used-to-be officers car
ried on some union business, author
izing payment of bills, but particu-
larly granting Millstein two weeks va
cation with pay.
A "FrIend" from the International.
This was objected to by the new
progressive executives, since the mem
bership had voted already to give
Millstein permanent vacation with
out pay. In the argument it develop
ed that Ida Weinstein, vlcepresident
Of the International, was strong sup
porter of Millstein, insisting that he
get his two weeks vacation.
Faced with the prospect Of a per.
manent vacation without pay Millstein
was furious. Seeing a fur worker,
Max Mendelson, reading the Freiheit
was too much. Millstein for some
reason doesn't like the Freiheit. Pos
sibly because SO many fur workers do
like it. Filled with rage Millstein spit.

who resented it and said so.

METAL TRADES DEPARTMENT
LEADS WAY TO AMSTERDAM

President James O'Connell was
worried about the authority of the
International Metal Workers FEEDER
alton in connection with the CUES
ton of industrial disputes in the
various countries.
Brownie replied, 1.-THE Information
al Metal Workers Federation has no
authority, nor does it attempt to ex-
ercise any authority over any indus
trial dispute that may take place in
the United States, Great Britain or
elsewhere"
DETROIT, Mich, Oct g. Victory
over the open shop interests dn both
Chicago and San Francisco is claimed
in the report OF William ]. Tracy,
secretary-treasurer OF the Building
Trades department Of the American
Federation Of Labor, to the depart
ment convention held here.
"Out on the Pacific Coast, particu-
larry in San Francisco and Los An.
geles," says Secretary Treasurer
Tracy, where boss contractors, at
the urge of big business and the
banks attempted to inaugurate the
so-called American plan of company
unions, open shops and low wages,
the building trade unions have sue
cessfully weathered the storm and
are again writing regular wage con-
tracts.
Claim Victory In Chicago.
"The same is true in Chicago,
where it was sought to establish the
open shop under terms Of the Lands
award. Today the unions have con.
tracts there calling for higher wage
scale than has ever hitherto prevail
ed. OF course, the reason in each in.
stance is that the building craft UNI
ions held their ground and refuse to
surrender what they have gained
thru years of struggle"
Secretary Treasurer Tracy declares
that the international unions compris.
ing the building trades departments
have added more than 10000 new
members since the first of the year"
Tracy predicts that building per-
mits indicate that the total for the
United States this year will pass the
six billion dollar point.
In the elections George F. Hedrick,

neers; John J. Hynes, sheet metal

Brownie is often confused, was one

Social Reformists Head Delegation.
Brownies fellow delegates to the
Metal Trades department convention
were Conrad Ig, president of the Me
tai Federation of Switzerland and al
so secretary of the International Me-
tai Workers Federation; Robert Dis
man, president of the Metal Workers
of Germany, and also a social-demo-
cratic member of the German reich
stag; and Henry Labe, general secre-
tary-treasurer of the Metal Workers
of France.
Zig challenged the claim Of the
American trade union leaders that
the workers in this country are much
better of than those in Europe. He
said:
U. S. Labor Not 90 Far Ahead.
"As far as working conditions are
concerned we are willing to admit
that wages are far better over here
than they are over in Europe. How
ever, relative to the working hours 1
don't think you have advanced much
farther than the workers of Europe
am of the opinion that the working
hours in this country are pretty much
the same as they are over in Europe"
Ilg declared that at one time the
workers of Great Britain had the
same idea as the American labor Off
cialdom has now, that no benefit was
derived from the international afilia-
ton Of the workers. The British
workers have changed all this. He
declared that the American labor
movement must also change.
Danger In Dawes Plan.
Dissman sounded the alarm against
inactivity in developing the .interna-
tiOnal unity of the workers. He de-
clared that without unity the 100000
metal workers of the United States
and Canada and the 100000 metal
workers Of Europe would be forced
into the bitterest kind Of competi-
ton, thanks to the investment Of
American capital abroad, to the trust
iiication Of the. iron and steel indus
try in Europe, and to the adoption by
the European metal masters Of high
speed production methods developed
in the United States.

new PLAN FOR
CONSOLIDATION
OF RAILROADS
Coolidge in Favor of
Voluntary Unity

WASHINGTON. D. c. Oct. l.
President Coolidge today gave at
tention to proposed legislation de,
signed to facilitate permissive con
solicitations of railroads.
Alfred P. Thorn, general counsel OF
the Association of Railway Execu-
tives, called on the President and sub
mitted copy of the testimony heard
by the house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce last June on
the voluntary consolidation bill in
troduced by Representative James s.
Parker (Rep.,1N. ", chairman of the
committee.
Voluntary Consultations.
In his annual message to congress
in December, the President in refer
ring to railroads Hill renew his recon-
mendation that congress amend the
present consolidation provisions of
the transportation act to the end that
proper consultations, subject to the
approval Of the interstate commerce
commission voluntarily may be eff
fected.
The principles Of the Parker bill
are approved by a majority of the
railroads. The bill does not have the
approval in its entirety of all the
railroads, but the fact that it contains
no element of compulsion is approved
by all the carriers.
In. the testimony left with the Pre-
sident, Mr.. Thorn said he was not au,
thorized to appear as an advocate OF
the Parker bill, but that If there were
going to be consultations the major,
ity of the railroads would want that
kind of bill passed.
Parker Bill VIII Be Pushed.
Speedy passage of the Parker bill
has been urged by the interstate com
merce commission, which approves
the general principles ,of the measure
The bill would repeal the provision
Of the existing law requiring the com
mission to prepare a plan grouping
the railroads of the country into a
limited number of systems.
Actual consultations Of railroads
are now blocked by the provision OF
law requiring the preparation of a
plan, because there is no plan, and
consultations cannot be approved un
til there is a plan. Under the Parker
bill two or more railroads could pro.
pose a consolidation and the commits
sion could approve or disapprove it.
Two or more railroads under the
bill could unity their properties by &C
QUESTION Of control Of one by anoth
er thru lease, stock control, or other
wise.
President Coolidge, it is believed
favors the general principles Of the
Parker bill.
