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

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

I la tho cities an J towns along th
Southern Hallway and the Mobile &

when it la considered that the period
covered includes the last half of
the year 1908 and the first half of
the present year, a time when the
demand for manufactured goods of
all kinds in this country was at n
low eld?, and capital was hard to
, kfind for new investments of any
kind and in uny portion of the
country. 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

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

The growth of industriea along

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

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

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

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."

Socio interesting lUurcs In regard
to accidents in cotton mills are given
by a writer in the Textile Manufacturers'
Journal. Tho plants whow

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

The Columbia correspondent of
