RATES FOR LIGHTING VERY LOW IN STOCKTON City Council Receives Bids and Rivalry Causes a Cut in % Charges. STOCKTON, Nov. 16.—Stockton was given a very low rate for electric light- | ing to-night when bids were received by the City Council for next year’'s con- tract. The American River Electric LCompany is building toward this city and announced that it would bid, so the Stockton Gas and Electric Com- pany, represented by F. A. Hihn, as! president, induced the Standard Elec- | tric Company to make a big cut in its service and bid to furnish the city lights for $3 79, the lowest rate in the United States. The American Com- ‘pany’s bid was $4 40. The old rate now being charged is $6 90. The city voted last spring to build a municipal plant, but the sharp competition between rival companies will probably result in an abandonment of the city’s project. —_—— Senate Bill for New States.

The Democrats opposed the ruie on the ground that it was drastic and | prevented a vote béing taken on any | @mendment to_the bill, while the six ! Republican votes cast against. it in- cluded opposition to the measure as antagonistic to beet sugar.interests. The short debate which preceded the adoption of the rule was followed by several speeches on the merits of the measure. Payne opened the debate in a speech whose keynote was that the measure would not affect injuriously sugar, tobacco or any other interests. For the minority, Representatives Wil- liams of Mississippi, Swanson of Vir- { ginia and Robinson of Indiana made spy s criticizing the Republicans for their tariff policies and the exces- | sive taxation of the duty. Robinson predicted danger to our foreign com- om higher foreign tariffs un- cited tariff reforms, and de- 1 clared tariff question again would become a burning political issue. DALZELL REPORTS THE RULE. Daizell (Republican) of Pennsylvania reported the resolution providing that the bill reported from the Ways and Means Committee should be considered to the exclusion of other business until 4 o'clock Thursday, when a vote should | be taken without intervening moticn. Williams of Mississippi, speaking for the minority in opposition to the rule, declared it was about the most drastic rule ever introduced in the House, as it shut off all right to perfect the bill. He said that the minority desired to offer an amendment which proposed to strike out ' the ‘“double-barreled pledge” contained in the biil. Ap- plause from the Democratic side greet- en the statement that the bill tore down one-fifth of the schedules built up by the Repubiicans. The amendment it was desired to offer was the one decided upon in the Democratic caucus on Sat- urday night. Dalzell, replying to the charge that the rule was a most drastic measure, reverted to the time when the Wilson bill was pending, Crisp being Speaker, I'saying that he commended the minority to a study of its own parliamentary { history. | Williams demanded the ayes and |noes on the adoption of the rule and they were ordered. The rule was | adopted, 176 ayes to 155 noes. | _With the announcement of the vote { Williams asked for unanimous consent | to propose an amendment to the rule | for an aye and no vote on the amend- ment reported by the minority, with twenty minutes’ discussion on each | side, a vote then to he taken on the bill. Payne objected. The House then went into committee of the whole with | Sherman of New York in the chair. DEBATE OPENED BY PAYNE. Payne opened the debate, urging the passage of the bill. Payne eaid that no | harm would be wrought to the sugar industry by the legislation now pro- posed and likewise the tobacco industry | could not be harmed by the proposed | new arrangement. He added that no | industry would be affected by the per- fection of the treaty. He said, in reply to an inquiry, that he did not expect | new industries to be established while | this question was being agitated. | “Our natiorfal pride appeals to us to pass the bill,” said Payne, In conclu- | sion. | Williams denied that the minority de- | sired to amend the bili in order to l‘(‘xl | the treaty. He read the minority ré- port, giving the reasors why the mi- nority desired to amend the bill. Wil- liams held the Republicans responsible | for the fact that the treaty wase not in effect to-day. Referring. to Payne, | Williams said: p “As to that part of his speech which | advocates this bill upon its merits,"it is almost as sudden a conversion as | that of St. Paul on his way to Damas- cus; it is almost as sudden an eccur- rence as was the recent birth of the new republic of Panama.” Williams spoke only a few minutes, reserving the right to clos2 the debate | for the minority. ATTACES TARIFF POLICY. {7 Swaneon (D) af Virmisin (dthegsed | the points which Fg spid threté-ed our foreicn commerce Ly the vew terifls | 1 passed in other countries in retaliation for the Dingley act. He insisted that unless concessions were made from the present tariff before long all Europe would be combined in commercial war- fare against the United States. He dis- cussed Chamberlain’s policy, saying that 56 per cent of our foreign trade | was with the United Kingdom and her colonies, all of which, he said, was jeopardized by this policy. Swanson then discussed the evil ‘which he said resulted from the failure of this coun- try to negotiate a treaty with Canada. The exclusive policy of the Dingley act, he declared, would destroy our for- elgn commerce, and he remarked that the Republican party would never mod- ify it. Robinson of Indiana, taking as his text 2 treasury statement, argued agalnst the Republican policy, which, he said, was that of excessive taxation. At 4:44 o'clock the committee arose and the Speaker announced the follow- ing members of the Committee on En- rolled Bills: Wachter of Maryland, Burke of Pennsylvania, Wilson of 11 | nois, Landis of Indiana, Lloyd of M!s- | souri, Johnson of South Carolina, Liver- nash of California. The last three are Democrats. The House adjourned at 4:50 o'clock. MINORITY REPORT IS FILED. A minority report setting forth the views of Willlams of Mississippi, Swanson of Virginia, McClellan of New York and Clark of Missouri on the Cuban bill was filed in the House to- of the minority on the Ways and Means Committee, presented a lengthy report condemning the Cuban treaty in toto. Cooper does not believe Cuban reci- procity will benefit either Cuba or the United States. In his opinion, he say: there also are grave doubts regarding the constitutionality of the bill. The proposed legislation, Cooper says, is both undemocratic and unrepublican — undemocratic, because the bene- ficiaries are the sugar refining interests and some other special interests, and the benefits they will receive will have to be made by an additional tax on the whole people unon some other article; unrepublican, in that it deliberately seeks to injure and interfere with a home industry by lowering tariff rates which protect that industry, and thus directly inviting and stimulating a for- eign industry. The treaty, he says, violates both the principle of the tariff for revenue and tariff for protection. One of the strongest objections to the bill lies against the extraordinary sup- plemental provision prohibiting the House of Representatives from making any further reductions in the duty on sugar during the life of the treaty. Legislation such as is proposed in thi bill, he declares, will assuredly anger and alienate other friendly powers. TEXT OF MINORITY REPORT. The minority report, signed by four Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee, states that the bill should be amended by striking out the provision that no reduction in sugar duty should be made during the life of | the treaty, declaring that one Congress | has no right to bind succeeding Con- gresses, and, by inserting an amend- ment, striXing out the differential on refined sugar. * “Because,” the report says, “in our opinion we would thereby deprive the great sugar trust of this country of some of its power to extort from the consumer, curtail its power to bear down the price of the raw material, thereby injuring the sugar planter, and lesgen its ability to dictate to wholesale and retail dealers in sugar the manner in which they shall do business and the price at which they shall sell refined sugar.” The rezort says thit if the amend- ment s adopted the minority would gladly vote for the bill; but, even if de- feated, they recommend its passage, “because,” the report states, “we think that the good to be done by its passage will far overbalance the evil which will result from a failure to take advantage of the opportunity to diminish the pow- | er of the sugar trust.” PRt oSO More Petitions Against Smoot.

Augustus Heinze and the Amalgamated Com- pany Are Preparing for the Decisive Battle That Will Be Fought at Extra Session of Montana’s Legislature‘ser"ices at Mare Island b | | i DL LLATT % TCAHL L O EX -+ NOW ABOU OF THE STATE RIVALS IN MONTANA'S GREAT WAR OF coppPER KINGS, WHO ARE TO TRANSFER THEIR STRUGGLE TO THE HALLS LEGISLATURE. ELENA, Mont, Nov. 16. ‘While the Amalgamated Cop- per Company can be said to have scored a temporary vic- tory over F. Augustus Heinze this week when Governor Joseph K. Toole called an extra session of the Montana Legislature for enacting laws to insure fair trials to litigants, the | fight has in reality only begun. The next month promises mahy interesting events. Both sides are preparing for the final test of strength when the Legislature shall convene on Decem- ber 1. Heinze's lieutenants are already | busy outlining their campaign and the | Amalgamated’s agents are not far be- | hind. | In accordance with Governor Toole’s letter from President William Scalion | of the Anaconda Copper Mining Com- pany, the latter's properties in Butte and smelters in Anaconda and Great { Falls have resumed work and more | than 20,000 men who have been idle for two weeks are again employed. | How long this condition will last s no known and many persons are anxiously | awaiting the outcome of the legislative session. If that body fails to pass laws | to relieve the present situation in the . courts the public, shudders even to think of what may be the next move in the greatest copper war ever waged. From the time of the closing of the Anaconda Copper Company's prop- !erues in Montana petitions from labor organizations throughout the State, to- gether with lengthy documents from other organizations, poured into the executive office in Helena asking Gov- | ernor Toole to call an extra session. | Twenty were received in one day and they came from all portions of North- (ern, Central and Western Montana. Petitions and letters recéived repre- sented almost three-quarters of the population of the western half of Mon- tana, and as the wishes of the people were thus conveyed Governor Toole called an extra session. TWO FAMOUS DECISIONS. The direct cause of the shutdown of the Amalgamated properties in Mon- tana on October 12 were two decisions recently handed down by Judge Wil- liam Clancy in Butte. One gave the Minnie Healy mine to F. Augustus Heinze. This is valued at $10,000,000 and the case was being tried for the second time. In the first trial Judge Clancy decided in favor of Heinze and the case was appealed to the Supreme Court, which sent it back for a new trial. Judge Clancy again rendered a decision in favor of Heinze and another appeal will be taken. The second de- cision was the one which prevented the | Amalgamated Copper Company voting |any of the stock of the Boston and Montana Company, an injunction be- ing issued against the company. This suit was instituted by John MacGin- niss, agent for Heinze. The Amalgamated Copper Company then claim2d that it could not obtamn fair trials in the judiciary of Silver Bow County and announced that until legislation was enacted insuring it fair trials it would close its works. The tie- up came and more than 20,000 men were thrown out of employment either di- rectly or indirectly. In Butte alone it cut off a pay roll of $25,000 a day. Rail- roads laid off their freight crews for- merly engaged in hauling ore to the smelters and coal from the mines; storekeepers discharged their clerks and various industries were paralyzed. The Cokedaie coal mines shut down and lumbering crews in Western Mon- tana were discharged. Business in Butte was practically suspended and the effect reached even into Utah and ‘W,yoming, where coal mines drawn upon by the Amalgamated felt the effect of the storm. $ Shortly after the shutdown President ‘William Scallon of the Anaconda Cop- per Mining Company, in response to an inquiry from the Butte Miners’ Union, issuéd a statement in which he an- | nounced the policy of the company. He | said thct if an extra session of the Leg- islature wecre called and proper legis- lation passed insuring falr trials—that is, impartial Judges to try cases in the | District Court and review the facts in equity cases in the Supreme Court—the ‘ mines and smelters would resume oper- | ations. GOVERNOR TOOLE'S ATTITUDE. Before calling the extra session Gov- ernor Toole addressed a letter to Scal- lon, in which he said that the inherent | infirmity of President Scallon’s propo- sition, as well as of the petitions, was that which made the passage of the | legislation mentioned a condition prece- dent to the resumption of work by the | | several companies. Governor Toole said that, nowever much he prayed for | | a resumption of work on account of the | | present and prospective conditions of | | those lately employed in the suspended | industries and the business interests of | the communities directly affected, he | | was firm in his opinion that it were far | better for the State of Montana as a whole that this calamity, bad as it was, | should continue indefinitely than that | | 2 precedent should be established by | | which legislation of a given kind should | | be made a condition precedent to the | | doing or omission of any act by any | corporation or individual in this State. Governor Tocle made the proposal, so | to speak, to call the extra session if| President Scallon and the other man- | agers of the works recently suspended would at once resume operations. Upon receipt of the letter, President Scallon and the other managers addressed a communication to Governor Toole, re- plying in the affirmative. The procla- mation was at once issued, and an hour later the men were going toward the mines and smelters in Butte, Ana- conda and Great Falls, in readiness to begin work on the next shift. PREPARING FOR BATTLE. In all parts of the State everything in the industrial lines is already as- suming its normal shape. The trouble, however, has only been postponed few weeks, and Heiena will be the arena for the combat, which will dem- onstrate whether F. Augustus Heinze or the Amalgamated Copper Company will reign. Heinze is massing his forces £8r battle and will no doubt use all his strength and energies to prevent the “fair trial” bills passing, which would result in his mining litigation being re- moved from the District Courts of Sil- ver Bow County. The Amalgamated Copper Company is confident, however, that it can secure the enactment of such legislation, as it elaims a majority of both houses of the Legislature. At the session two years ago a “fair trial” bill was passed, but when it was attempted to put it into force the ques- tion as to its constitutionality was raised. The case was taken into the Supreme Court, which rendered a de- cision declaring it unconstitutional. Heinze was again victorious. It will now be up to the Amalgamated to have Dbills framed that will stand the test— that cannot be declared unconstitu- tional by the Supreme Court. The scenes of two, four and six years ago, when Heinze and Senator W. A. Clark were linked together against a common enemy, and when they fought each other; when Clark was arrayed against the late Marcus Daly, and the memorable fight carried into the cham- bers of the White House in Washing- ton; when F. Augustus Heinze fought the Amalgamated Copper Company tooth and nail, are recalled vividly during these days preceding the special sesson of the Legislature. the a large following of the latter they will be “getting short time. | prosecuto NAVAL OFFIGERS BENDER TRIBUTE ! for Late Stewart Rhodes.
