McOA WHY'S STATOIUNT
His statement follows!
I am surprised that the Mayor of a big
City should Inject the "personal equation"
Into an Issue so vital to the public welfare
a the Fifty-sixth street crosstovvn trolley.
The Issue cannot be clouded nor at
tention diverted by any by-play of his.
The question for him to decide is, Will he
or will he not lend his Influence In our
Cause?
We do not expect 'rom him tho lm
Possible. We know he has no power to
legislate In this matter, but we do expect
him to say, flatly yes or no, so for as
nls Influence goes.
As to my authority to tpeak for the
Allied Business Men' Association of West
Philadelphia, I desire to say It Is ai un
questioned as Is his to speak for the
city.
I have been duly elected nnd authorized
by our association to conduct this cam
paign, and everything that has been said
or done has been discussed and approved
by the committee which was to wait on
him.
As an old legislator himself, ho knows
that the chairman of a committee always
acts as the spokesman. If he so de
sires, I shall have the whole committee
call on him, or If this suits him better,
let him label his candidates for Council
In West Philadelphia, after he finally de
cides to do nothing for us and the peo
ple will give him his answer.
We do not proposo to be "lulled to
sleep" by any honeyed words or pre
I election promises.
Wo are going on In the even tenor of
our way. We had a meeting last night
j and perfected details for this battle.
Transit Director Twining now has be
fore him a statement of tho concessions
ought by all three contracting Arms which
, were awarded the big contracts for the
construction of the subway delivery loop
and the central section of the Broad street
ubway.
Early last week the Keystone State Con
struction Company, which holds four of
' the six contracts, presented their requests
In the form of a letter. The statements
from the other two flrm3 were laid before
the Director today, and these will bo put
in the form of a letter at his request.
The concessions soucht bv p.-irh m.i,n
the Director said, are virtually the same,
and concern the time limit within which
the work Is to bo done, the obtaining of
millennia ior me wont and similar mat'
ters.
Jsone of the concessions," the director
.lm ioaay, -nan Ulrectly to do with
cnange or tne unit prlcea for the work For
tho most part the firms aro i-e.UIng to

Plans for carrying on the fight for the
proposed surface line on Twenty-slMh street
Will be discussed tonight at a meeting of
the Northv st Business Men' Association
Two weeks aco a committee representing
five business associations In the northwest
ectlon of the city took up the proposition
with Transit Director Twlnlngr
director Twining today advertised for
cias ior ten station piatrorms, roofs, con
crete floors, side rails and drains for the
Frankford elevated.
Bids for the work, to be known as "Con
tract IH." will be opened August 21. The
ten station platforms In question are the
platforms for which bids wero received n
n6nth ago. The bids were rejected because
the transit department thought they were
too high. The bids aggregated about
$800,000.
BERLIN1. Aug. 7.
Open dissatisfaction with the new Cabinet
was expressed by the Liberal press today
The Tageblatt was bitter In Its statements
that the people had been given no choice In
the new Government, and declared that
"real democratization or psrllamcntarlsa
tlon resembling an exotic sea monster" Is
the choice confronting Chancellor Mlchaells.
"The representatives of the people had
no Influence In the Cabinet appointments,"
the Tageblatt declared "Germany rcceled
the new aoernment as a gift from aboe.
Thero Is no possibility of acknowledging or
refusing It.
"Parliament has no more rlBhts than
other Parliaments The great German peo
pie hav neither direct nor Indirect Influence
In tho selection of their managers They
have no power and no responsibility. They
are expoed to the strokes of fate "
Despite the dissatisfaction with tho new
Cabinet and the more pronounced uphaval
Jun past, It Is apparent that modernlra
tlon of Germany will occur through oolu
tlmi, not by "direct action"
A ltltor from abroad would at once be
struck by the absence of all outward man
Ifestatlons that usually accompany such
changes as arc now going on In Germany.
There has not been tho slightest sign of
a revolutionary spirit during tho period
t.lat had Its beginning in the movement
that oerthrew llethmann-llollwcg.
Tho nMv Ministers hae been recruited
Inrgely from tho i"onitratlc tanks, tho

Congresswoman Charges Con

Urges Federal Control
WASHINGTON. Aug. 7.
An attack on John D. Ryan, of New
Tork, president of the Anaconda Copper
Company, of New York, was made In the
House today by Representative Jeannctte
Rankin, of Montana, who blamed Mr Ryan
for labor troubles whlc,h have tied Mp the
entire copper Industry of Montana,
Miss Rankin also declared the copper
producers have combined to refuse the price
of 16 07 cents a pound, as nrrangea ror by
the Council of National Defense, and were
waiting to see what price the new war
lndustrls hoard would offer. The Montana
Congresswoman advocated the Government
operation of all metalliferous mines and
Introduced a resolution to empower the
President Immediately to take over and
operate nil such mines.
President Ryan, of the Amalgamated
Coppor Company, said Miss Rankin, Is
responsible for what is known In Montana
and the coppcr-mlnlng regions of the far
Northwest as the "rustling card" system.
As explained by Miss Rankin, no miner can
get a Job unless ho carries a "rustling
card," which allows him to "rustle" for a
Job. In other words, the card Is the Amal
gamated Company's "O K " to the effect
thnt the miner Is n peaceful citizen who
never complains of labor conditions nnd Is
not an agitator.
Miss Rankin said she had endeavored to
bee Mr Ryan, who Is nt present connected
with the Red Cross In thin city, but that
he had refused to bee her She also said
sho had endeavored to sec President Wll
bon, Attorney General Gregory and others
In relation to the labor troubles In Montana
and had failed.
At tho conclusion of her remarks. Rep.
resentativc Rankin was asked by several
members whether the I W W figured In
the strikes and riots in Montana to any
great extent .She replied that the I. W V
ure greatly In the minority

Interrupted her to say:
"The I. W W organization Is rcspontlble

It threatened the Governor of t'tnh and has
threatened others They say they nweSio

A prominent French Colonel told me to
day that the Americans will make the best
soldiers of any of the Allies. He, as well a-
other high officers of the French army, was
Impressed by the earnestness nnd general
eagerness of the Sammees to get Into ac

American soldiers are encamped, These
camps are beautifully situated on a pla

towering plants. The men realize that the
scene will soon be changed, and aro making

to come
The officers who accompanied me were
warm In their praises of the Sammees'
work. They were especially Impressed with
the general demennor of Uncle Sam's boya
and observed that they never seemed to
tire. '
The moral tono of the men and the ex
cellent standard of conduct Klnce their ar
rival spoke well, several officers said, for
their training nt home
If the vanguard of Sammees Is any cri
terion of the troops to come, then the Amer
ican nrmy In France Is assured of a. wel
come and recognition which will live long
In Its history
Tho Initial class of officers and noncom
