I have in mind two distinct and highly illuminating Instances la which the Unorganized Public won a great victory over Organized Capital. One was in 1908. Charles T. Yerkes some years before hail obtained trol of the Northeide and West Bide street railway companies of Chicago, ready for the junk neap, by buying an option for them costing $20,000, which he had borrowed. He reorganized the properties into the Union Traction Company, watered the stock, capitalised it at $120,000,000, although It was estimated to he worth about and Anally got out of Chicago with 140,000,000 net profit on tin investment of nothing.

i But Yerkes' career in Chicago was ended in 1003, when he tried to have passed in the City Council a measure giving him a fifty-year franchise of the Chicago streets. He succeeded in having the bill rushed through the State Legislature aud hi? looked for an easy victory in the City Council, as be had a clear majority of the Aldermen ready to do his bidding. But the newspapers were flooded with protest. All the people of the city who had been complaisant for many years suddenly arose to the situation. The Unorganized Majority was in action.

On the night that the meas- orowds gathered in front of the City Hall. Hundreds crowded into the building and forced their way into the Council Chamber. Thousands of men were outside ami many of them carried ropes and clubs, while thousands cried, "Lynch them." "Shoot them!" Even usually conservative men were so aroused that they advocated violence if the ordinance were passed. The Al WITHOUT PLATES ffijT CIVIL SERVICE. CttWIi SERVHOE.
