MILLIONAIRE IN OVERALLS.
CORNELIUS VANDERBILT AS HE
WORKS IN HIS MACHINE SHOP.
V
i
Few wage earners work any harder
than does young millionaire Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Jr. Unlike some other
young men who have come into the
inheritance of vast wealth. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Jr., is a man of strong
principles and a firm believer In the
nobility of labor.
After his graduation from Yale uni
versity the young man decided to
equip himself with a thorough practi
cal knowledge of every branch of rail
road work. Donning a pair of overalls
and lumper, he worked side by side
with ordinary mechanics,spending two
year3’ time In the motive power and
civil engineering department of the
New York Central Railway.
He is an expert mechanic, and has
already perfected several Inventions
which have come Into use as Improve
ments in railway equlppage. One of
these inventions Is a device for use on
locomotives which has the effect of
facilitating the removal of the fire box
from an engine, thus expediting the
work of cleaning the fire box.
In this picture Mr. Vanderbilt bas on
one of Fincks “Detroit-Special” No.
755 Coats and FInck’s “Detroit-Special”
No. 15 Reversible Overall. All other
“wage earners” are now asking for
Finck’s "Detroit-Special” Reversible
Overalls. Union Made, made in Detroit.

CITY HAS POWER
TO REGULATE RATES.
A case of great interest to cities not
owning a water plant has been just
decided by the United States supreme
court. It was styled the Knoxville
Waterworks Company, plaintiff in
error, against the mayor and aider
men of the city of Knoxville, Tenn.,
and involved the right of the city
council to change the price asked for
water by the company.
The council passed an ordinance re
ducing the charge for water. The
waterworks company had a contract
made with a previous c ty administra
tion by which it claimed the right to
raise or reduce the price of water at
its pleasure to any charge that it
dee. e 1 was r< a onable. A m m wrof
citizens paid under protest the price
demanded by the company. One citi
zen refused to pay, and on the com
pany starting to cut off the supply a
mandamus suit was begun in the cir
cuit court to compel the company to
furnish water at the rates fixed by
the ordinance. The lower court de
cided in favor of the company, and
the city appealed to the state supreme
court, which reversed the action of
the lower court. The company then
took the case to the United States su
preme court on the ground that the
ordinance was invalid because it in
fringed the right of contract, but that
tribunal affirmed the decision of the
state supreme court.—Little Rock
