WAR TOTHE END Independent Telephone Companies Plan to Fight the Trust MAKE NATIONAL FIGHT They Will Appeal to President Taft an<l Will Invoke the Aid of the Courts In Their Campaign Against the Billion Dollar Telephono and itMfgrepn Morgtr. Declaring that President Taft and the highest courts tu the laud will be Invoked to check the monopoly of communication that is threatened by the billion-dollars combine, recently announced by the Bell telephone trust, representatives of the Independent telephone interest through the country are planning in New York a national fight for the principle of open competition. With $400,000,000 of the savings of the people of almost every locality invested in the independent telephono plants that the new wire trust is determined to rule or ruin, leaders in this movement assert, the interest of the public demand that the government take immediate action against the giant merger. At a convention of tbe Independent Telephone association that has been colled In Chicago for December 7, representatives of the 12.000 c-ompanlej, that with 4,000.000 subscribers aro now competing with the telephone tru6t, will make a formal protest to Washington agolnnt the restraint of trade tnat they believe will be effected by the absorption of every telegraph interest bj the Bell system. To the attorney general of every one of the many States In which they assert Wall street money is now being used to Illegally force a Bell monopoly, the Independent telephone forces are proposed to appeal for protisrtion. Suit to prevent the acquisition by th? telethon* trust of Important systems built by Unpeople of Ohio. Indiana, Missouri, Iowa and Michigan, have already been Instituted in St. Louis and Cleveland, and the Independent leaders declare every similar move to throttle competition will be fought to tho last ditch. Unless the new wire trust Is at once prevented from carrying out H3 sdbeme to Illegally absorb all competitors throughout the continent, the Independent telephone men prophesy, tho people of the country will aoou bo forced into tno power of a monopoly greater and more arbitrary than that of either tho oil. beef or sugar trust. As a possible rlvnl to the billion dollar communication trust In the telegraph and long distance telephone Qelds. independent forces artpreparing to build a trunlt wire feyotem that will reach lYoin the Atlantic, seaboard to the Missouri river, for the benefit of the people who use the telephone exchanges they have built independent at home, us well us for general telephone business. Unlike the Hell system, thie enterprise will seek not to kill com petltlnu but to foster and increase if. It is declared. Already $50,000,000 have been subscribed towards this plan for preventing the proposed monopoly of the wire trust That the cost of l>oth telephone and telegraph aerlvce will be increased If the new wire trust obtains a monopoly Is proved already by th? jimh\ nistory or iih promoters, the Independent telephouo men declare ISxoAbllant rates aud vither i>oiir service or none at uIt wore offered by the Uoll combine In all the years of itH former monopoly through patent rights, it la pointe 1 out. A* those con litions brought about tie birth of the Independent telephone movement, they must resume on the instant of its death, it :b urged. "Wo fuel wo owe u moral as well as a business obligation to the army of Americana throughout the country who havo plnced $400,000.; 000 of their earnings in the home ' telephone plants, built to rid them of the Hell monopoly," aald K. H Moulton, president of the independent association. "We Fhall exert ! ourselves in every posible way to show the government tl.at It, too, has an obligation to protect these I Investors as well as th.- 20,000,000 customers In Independent telephone B systems. We shall not stop our light for the right of competition, even B with ail the Wall street capital of this new i>i 11ion dollar trust arrayed against us; but will push it to ^B the highest courts and admluistra^B tive authority."

Some of tho figures for the Industrial invostmente along th? Southern Railway have heretofore been published. They show u total of 453 new industries, calling for an investment of $20,413,835, and additions tc existing Industries costing $7,883., 963. In the same period there wort put under construction new industries to be completed later lu which $6,4 73,000 will i>o Invested. SiuCr the cloeo of the Bout corn's fiscal , year thero has been a stendy improvement In all business conditions manufacturers and operators o( mines huvo felt warranted In rej newlng plans for new plants unci capitalists and bankers have been more ready to supply needed fund* for Industrial Investments. The next Industries started In the last hull of 1909 greatly outnumber thos* begun In the first half of the year so that for the first time in two years, the normal Industrial advance of the Southeastern States may be said to be under way. It Is confidently expected, aud all tho Indications show that the present year will greatly vxc?H?d the past in the amount or factory building and In tho Invesments made in all kinds of Industries. That ovet >28.000.000 should be Invested In industrial i^ovclopment In tho period covered along one line of road In the Southeast shows In the most <arked manner the advantage c?l thnt section for various lines ol lnit list r'?<c The growth of industriea along the line of the Mobile & Ohio Rail rond wan also marked. In the stretch of 1,000 miles of torritorj covered' by that road there were constructs In 1908-09, coding June 30. 05 new Industries. nt a coat ot $2,123,600, while additions to ex Istlng plants rained the Investment to $2,254,700. The figures from tlu two Hues nhow duplication at foui or five points. Tatting out the?? the two lines nhow an aggregate ol , 1S9 new plants costing $21,149.53; and a total Investment in Industrie: of $35,809,071. including the amount which went Into new Industries un der construction on June 30, to be completed at a later date. In general Improvements during the year there were in vested alone I the Southern Railway $09,3 15,051 t The aggregate amount invested alone the Mobile di Ohio Railroad wat $12,387,554. It is noteworthy thai luring the year along the Southern $3,802,280 were spent for new schools. $1,846,115 for new church es. $10,270,818 for now businest structures, $32,212,963 for new residences. At the same time the amount expenr>d for public improvements was $5,558,3 91 on streets. $2,530,283 on sewers, $3.060,204 for water works and water supply of towns and cltlett. Those | figures show In the moHt conclusive I manuor tho growth of the South In wealth and ability to make neodo.1 Improvements as well as tho continued expnnslou of Its business I here were built In tho twelve months along the line of the Soutnern Hallway, In cities, towns and villages on less than 13,000 rest Jences. The Htutistlcs are not available to show just what the gain has been luring the year agriculturally, but that the same advance in agriculture has been made as In the various in dustries is certain. Indeed, there was probably even a much greater advance. The statistics published by the United States department ol agriculture show in the nlno Southeastern States, through which the Southern Hallway and the Mobile & Ohio Hndroad run. returns fro mthe staple crops of cotton, corn wheat oats, potatoes, hay and tobacco in 1008 of $868,000,000. It Is well known that the greatest advance Is taking place In the methods o" cultivation, soil preservation, crop diversification, and in every , thing which goes to the prosperity i of the fainter; and also that on I Southern farms more and more eon| venienccH and improvements of all kinds nro being added. while the . tront value of Southern polls Is be| injj demonstrated as never before. There has beon a steady movement of people from the North, and the Northern European countries, to the territory reached bv the lines.

MANY MINERS KILLED niausucs buow lOM Ufff TDlrtJ Thousand FLave PfrtslKd In the 1 Last Twenty Years, Which Is Four i Time* as Many as Were Killed In Europe. The tulne-ropcue station represents one of the most recent efforts made > by the government to reduce the number of fatal accidents In mines, i and It la but one feature of a general study of the causes of mine i iisasters now oclng undertaken by ' tho Geological Survey at the mint*. 1 accidents station In Pittsburg, Fa. This humanitarian work was started In July, 190S, by authorlza tiou of congress, which npproprlat1 ed $150.000 for this purpose, after ? four explosions In coal mines In I>e cumber. 1907, costing 7 00 lives, r These disasters startled the entire country und led to a general Inquiry i into the death rates Among miners In the United States. I Statistics gathered by the United States Geological Survey shows . 2,001 miner* killed sod 4.800 Injured In th? coal mines In 1006, and 3,126 killed and 6,800 Injured 1 In 1907. The death rst* for 1007 i was 4.86 for overy 1,000 men em~ > ployed. In 190 8, 2.4 60 men were killed, or 3.60 in every 1,000 employed. a reduction of 676 lu the ' number of deaths from 1907. European coal-producing countries show death rates tn mining as low , , i_ . ??r> i in ever) i.uvu ineu employed and not more than 2. In other words for every man killed In i Europe coal mines from two to four are killed In the mines ot the United State* Since 1S89 more than T.0.000 cviners have been killed In i the United Stntos. The lower death rule in European countries la due ' to the establishment of government testlug stations for the lnvestiga1 tloti of problems relating to safety in mining, including the use of mf piOslveH. f The principal work nt the Pitts burg aatlon conaista of testing ex! plosives to determine their safety ' when fired in the presence of explo slve gas or coal dust, and much progress has already been made in ' this work. It la ?bo purpoeo of the ' government to contlnuo the testa of ' explosives until certain of them can b? recommended to state mining bureau:!, coal-mine owners and miners as reasonably safe. Government mining engineers thoroughly trained in the use of rescuo apparatus have been aesign' ed to the stations already establlsh; ed and are ready at a moment's notice to go to any disuster in their district. When an explosion occurs !u a coal mine, the re-establishing of the ventilating current iH often de layed several hours, and many lives : have been lost apparently because I rescuers have been unable to ad- j j vance beyond the area where tli?| mine was ventilated In order to find I persons w ho had suffered no physi1 { cal injury from the explosion, but j who were slowly dy:ng from lnhul" | itlon of poisonous and non-llfe-sup porting gases. With a properly equipped rescue j -orps wearing oxygen helmets many uvea may l>e waved If the rescuers ran reach the mine within two or three hours after the explosion. Hueh is the record at mi net* in foreign countries which are equipped with similar rescue apparatus hns been brought into action within a few houra after the explosion. Several coal-operating companies hav? realized the advantage of such safety appliances and have installed them U aotne placa convenient to their mines. Kqulpped with the oxygen helmet a, which permit artt&clal breathing, the rescuers are enabled to enter a mine at once, even though it is filled with noxious and irrespirahle gases or with smoke.

' BuIbm Men of State Say Failure of Constitutional Prohibition Doea Not Indicate "Wet" Sentiment. A dispatch from Birmingham. , Ala., says later returns from tho State Indicate ihat Tuesday's majority against the prohibition constitutional amendment will run above 25.000. It appears that a vote of not leas thuu 125,000 wen polled, the largest lu the history of the State. As the sweeping nature of the de- . feat of the amendment is realized, (there Is ft disposition in all circles to see the result of Ita probable effect on future legislation in the State. Industrial leaders nnd business men of Birmingham ?ro almost | unanimous in their belief that the result wa? a rebnke to recent drastic legislation and a declaration of the people of Alabama of their determination to return to conservatism. I/?\ader? of the Birmingham chamber of commerce believe the election will have tho effect of bringing a great deal of Eastern capital to Alabama, which has been timid for the past two or three .veant. I/??dors of the amendment forces were overwhelmed by tho news of the result, as they were absolutely confident of victory up to tho last moment. Gov. Comer left for Mississippi tho night beforo on a halting trip. "The election determined that the men of Alabama did not wish to write into tbelr (constitution police measures, nor surrender rights they have expressly reserved," said United States Senator Johnson. "It does not mean the return of the saloon. nor uuv backward step iu public morals. "It means that Alabama is conservative and not to be shaken off her feet by mere sentimental ai>peals." WKDNKSDAY UNLUCKY IX MILLS More Accidents Happen on That l>aj Tliun on Any Othei in the Week. Socio interesting lUurcs In regard to accidents in cotton mills are given by a writer in the Textile Manufacturers' Journal. Tho plants whow records he tcoli were twelve in number, and with tho oxceptlon of one in New Hampshire, woro South o! the Monon and Dixon lino. Of tho totol number of acnldunu only 42.3 pur cent were tho result of macrinery. Tho larger percentage happened on Wednesday, anu with the exception of 6?turday the percentage for the other daya ol the week Is generally uniform. Saturday ahowa a low percentage due to two reasons?first. l?ss workiug hours that day, and In general less machinery in operation, thus reducing the chance of injury. A larger percentage of the accidents occurred during the forenoon hours from eight to twelve, while the lowest percentage are shown in the starting and stopping hourB, si> to seven n. m., one to two and five to six p. m. The larger number of accidents occurred in May, June. July and Auguoat, and the smaller number in March and December. "I am unable to explain why more accidents happen in Hummer months than the other iieriods of the year, wrlt?-? the investigator, unloMs it Is becuuae of the greuter number of children employed during achool vacation. It la also possible that more carelessness or inattention may have oeen FQown, cauwd by ?ho high temperature oi' the season. "The largest number of accidents occurrt^d to those sixteen years old. the next smaller number to thoso six- i toen ond twenty-two yoora old. The average time employed before In- I Jury was 2,7 8 year?. Nearly & per I cent of the entlro numt>er of acci- < denta occurred within a week of the time the parties entered upon service i at the plants, about 12 per cent with- I in a month, about 5.8 per cent within i a year, the balance. 4 2 per cent, : occurring between one year's eerv- i Ice und 35 years' service. * 1 * t Furniture May Cost More.

Troeger Coughs Up N;ue Thousand Dollars to the Hoard , FOR CONSCIENCE SAKE ' The Wlndlng-l'p Board Pay? Out Two Hundred and Nineteen Thousand Dollars on Claims, Which Leaves tho bt?to Oyer Three Hundred Thousand Dollars Clear. The Columbia correspondent of The News and Courier says I. Trooper. who did business with the old State dispensary, has forwarded, through Col. Felder, of Atlanta. $9,000, to be added to the "conscience fund." This places tho amount - received from various llrrns past tho $60,000 mark, being $64,000 In nil. Tho largest contributor was the Bernhelm flrm> which hunded across $3 0.000. Thou came WeiBkopf with $7,600 aud other firms with smaller amounts. The present contributor Ih from Cincinnati. Like the other firms from whom such collections have beau made, the Troegers had no claim against tho Btato. Tho "back chargos" aro. therefore, roprosentod in the money "coughed up." As Col. Felder expressed It when he heard It: "No. IL'k not conscience money. I don't see why you fellows coll It that. They Just hove to couie acroBs because we have tho goods on 'em." Chnlrman Murroy, of the dispensary commission Btipervlsed tho paying out of the last of tho liquor claims allowed by the commission's I recent Judgments. The amount paid put whs $147,874.74. the largest amount being $65,000 to Clark Bros.. $16,000 to Fleischmann and $18,000 'o the Bchlltz beer people. The only claim allowed remaining unpaid is that to the Big Springs Distilling Company, which is sub-! ponded pending appeal. Tills was the only concern allowed anything, which has appealed. The commls-l slon has left about $460,000, which includes about $60,000 "conscience money," half of which goes to law-, vers.
