I, Kafter, an attorney frdm Cleveland In Omaha. "Once for all a precedent has been established showing that the community and Its needs are greater than either employer or employed and their controversies when It comeB to the dispute aa to terms. This action will have the effect of giving the public a hint as to the ridiculousness of allowing prlvato corporations to have absolute con trol of a business upon which the human lives of the community depend. "Many a mayor would not have had the nerve to try this move. Many a mayor would, have urged both employers and strikers to come to terms, while he would have given weak Interviews concerning his re grets at the Increased death rate among tho babies of the city due to the lack of Ice. This mayor knew what an emer gency demanded, and whether from the standpoint of legal technicalities he was right or wrong, public sentiment will sus tain . him in this moyo ds long as the incident can possibly be remembered In history."

Prior to the meeting the council and mayor discussed tho proposition ot making a special appro priation of 15.800 to cover overlaps in sev eral of the funds. As contended by the city attorney's office, the fire fund suf fered a heavy overlap again this year. It was proposed to use part of the Judge ment money claimed by tho Water board. Mayor Hootor claiming that the money did not belong to the board until after a court had so decided. At the meeting the old qupatlon of using back taxes came up and It wan decided td use the back taxes to pay part of the overlap. This, together with excess col lections in the treasurer's office, will re duce the special overlap appropriation to H.B0O. ' If the policy ot UBlng the back taxes is followed out It means that the council will use the money to satisfy present obligations Instead of putting the same away for satisfying the InUrest and sink ing fund. The policy ot using back taxes to bolster up depleted funds simply means that the burden of the Interest nnd sink ing fund will be thrown upon the tax payers and administrations of the future.

In an interview yesterday Commissioner Donahue stated that the wages of the firemen could not be reduced.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) I WASHINGTON, July .-(Special Tele- gram.) In his maiden speech today Sen- ator Sterling ot South Dakota charged that tha democrats had not obeyed the will ot the people In framing a tariff bill, ; Inasmuch as a majority of. the voters, lepubllcans and progressives, wire beltev crs in the principles of protection. Sen-, ator Sterling also charged that the south with Its minority of population and rep tesentatlon was Imposing burdens upon , the north In the pending tariff bill. The, j South Dakota senator declared that a tariff is made for a nation and not tor a 1 section, nnd In recognition of that bellei offered to accept reductions on agricul tural products grown In tho northwest. "How vain the boast that by this pro posed legislation you reflect the will ot the people" said Senator 8tering. "How easy of demonstration that by it you do violence to that will, By actual count t ,303,063 voters voted for the democratic electors, uy actual count T.ws.ws voters voted for presidential electors running on platforms, both of which declared for the policy of protection. A majority ot 1,805,030. n a total vote of 13,011.166 Is a decisive majority. Power of the Sonth. "I am hero to make a brief analysis, which, I think, will shbw the power be hind the throne, the slender right. In the way of production, and the resources on which that power is founded, and with what unfairness and Injustice to many millions pf our fellow citizens It Is about to be wielded. "It Is through you, the south's rep resentation, at the other end of the capi tal and on this floor, your twenty mil lions and I am not counting your col ored vote any more than you do, and I voice no prejudice against a white man's government 'down there,' only I would not for economic reasons have you 'cover too muoh territory' your twenty millions aro rulers over ninety millions. As tt Affects Farmers. "With J'oUr 67.000,000 bushels of wheat you in effect determine that the pro ducers of 030.000,000 bushels shall come Into direct competition with the surplus wheat of the world under whatsoever conditions as to labor, cultivation or soil that surplus Is produced With your 60,000,000 bushels of oats in fifteen south ern states, you control In the determina tion that the producer of 974,000,000 bushels shall be protected by a tariff of only 6 cents per bushels; with your 710,000 bushels of barley raised In the. fifteen southern states In 1909, you say that the growers of 172,633,000 bushels of barley Shall compete with the many million bUshels, which will be Imported Under the rate provided In this bill, a reduction of GO per cent from the rate of 190, Nobody will be more highly pleased over this item, than tho American Brewers' association, though It will be at the cost of $1,000,000 to farmers of the north west alone. "Louisiana, nnd Oklahoma are the only southern states which In 1009 produced i any flax at all a magnificent total for the south of 11,308 bushels but you have ( It In your power, and you have exercised , the power, to make a reduction of 40 per ( cent In the none too high duty under the law from 1S97 down to tho present time. But the law Is a protection to the pro' ducers of 18,Bia,75 burhels of f Jax. .with , the tariff at 35 cents per bushel, under the present law, then was Imported Into , the United State In ttU about lO.coo.ooo bushels, with a value of 121.879,000, of! which amount over 6,000,000 bushels oft poorer and cheaper flax came from Ar gentina. I think with the duty reduced from 25 to 16 cents per bushel the com mittee's estimate of Importation Is alto gether tod low. Minority Ilnle. "And so with the other farm products. The producers of 3S,oou,000 bushels of pota toes, 855,030,000 pounds of butter, 4ao,000,COO i dozen eggs, In the entire fifteen states in the south, determine through their representatives that the producers of S50',000,000 bushels ot potatoes shall sell their surplus n free competition with the rest of the world, that the producers ot , 1,225,000,000 pounds of butter shall ho ' as their protection the unreasonably low 1 rate of 214 cents per pound, which would ; fiaRtlv mean a loss ot H5.0iW.000 to the1 producers of the American product, and! that free competition with Canada shall be the lot of the producers of l,tw,W,000 dozen of eggs Is all settled by the votes ot the states producing a little less than one-third that number. "Cattle, ohetp, swine and meats are all on the free list at the behest ot the men who represent those who produce a num ber and quantity of each vastly less than, the rest of the union. Ot cattle and wine, considerably less than half as , many, while of sheep there Is produced , In the south Jess than one-sixth as many , as in the sheep and wool producing states 1 of the northwest. And so It Is through. ! out tha whole list of agricultural farm ' products UPon the success In producing j whloh the success of about every othw American enterprise ultimately depends," Just Democratic IlnneomVe. Senator Sterling referred sarcastically to the reduction of I cent a pound in the tariff on rice and one-eighth of cent on peanuts. He declared that these reduc tions, taken In connection with the claim that the democrats are conceding some thing toward reducing the high coat ot living, are mere "buncombe." He also declared that the "high cost of living" is a world-wide issue and refused to sub scribe to the doctrine, that "the tariff is the mother of the trusts." "Proof that It is not lies in the fact that trusts exist In every civilized coun try," Senattr (sterling declared.
