HKMKVK GlXKilES SLIPPED
IT OVER OX THKM
New York, March U ? A suit a-j
f/ainst the Guggenheims and the
soc ailed Smelting Trust, and in
volving millions of dollars, has been
filed in the Supreme Court of New
York- The contestants are minority i
stockholders, mostly residents of
the Northwest, of the Federal Min
ing & Smelting Company.
They ask for the annulment of an
alleged unfair contract under which
the ores of the Corporation are now
being shipped to the smelters of
the American Smelting & Refining
Co., on a basis much below the
present price of lead.
The complaint deuands an ac
counting for the difference between
the price received for the company's
lead since 1909 and the price that1
could have been obtained in thei
open market. An injunction is also'
3ought to restrain the Federal Com
pany from acquiring more properties
:-s they must, according to the
stringent provisions of the present
ontract, be operated under its al
leged unfair conditions.
The action is one of the most
important and far-reaching that has
affected the mining industry for
many years and is the most import
aut iu its bearing upon the lead
industry since it passed untfer the
domination of the smelting trust.
The Coeur d'Alene district of Ida
ho, where all the mines of the Fed
eral Company are located, produc
es about 27 per cent of the total
domestic lead supply of the ^United
States and about 48 per cent of
the desilverized output. The Fed
eral company accounts for 43 pe
cent of the Coeur d'Alene output
and no less than 12 per cent of do
mestic lead derived from all sources.

Remarkable Growth of
Bij* Cities a Menace
By JAMES BRYCE, British Ambassador to America
ONE OF THE MOST GIGANTIC EVILS IS THE WONDERFUL !
? GROWTH OF OUR MODERN CITIES. BUT I AM NOT SURE
I CAN GIVE A SUITABLE REMEDY FOR THIS. SOME AN- j
| CIENT PHILOSOPHFR HAS SAID. "A BIG BOOK IS A BIG
! EVIL," AND SO I ALSO SAY A BIG CITY IS A BIG EVIL.
Of course some of the cities, such as New York, Philadelphia, i
j Chicago and a few others, will continue to grow, and it cannot be '
j stopped. But the smaller cities would ho best ofT if they REM AIM
ED ABOUT TITE STZE TITEY ARE.
I consider a big city a big evil becausfe it is against good health,
against the real brotherhood of man, LEADS TO BAD FEEL
INGS between the poorer and the wealthier classes, and also be
cause big city life is hard on the nerves of the inhabitants. Great
cities are also MOKE LIABLE TO THE DANGERS OF 1*0
LITICAL CONDITIONS that are unsatisfactory, for almost all
acts of violence against our governments grow out of the big cities.
