!s that sugar war between you and
the American going on now?” asked
Chairman Hardwick.
“No,” Mr. Gilmore answered. “There
is no war, but there is an armed neu
trality. We are watching the other fel
low and dong the best we can for our
selves. We make no cuts now that
w’e do not think necessary for our bus
iness. NO other cuts are made be
cause the trust does not attack us.”
That there ever had been during the
war any conference of the Arbuckle
firm with Henry O. Havemeyer to g;e
cure a w'orking agreement, Mr. Gil
more denied.
“I never heard of such a thing and
am morally certain that no such con
ference ever occurred,” Mr. Gilmore
said.
Gilmore told the committee that
conditions in the'trade were very fair
though not ideal.
“Where does the condition fall
short?” Representative Madison, ask
ed.
“The cane sugar refiners are not
making enough money.”
He attributed this to overproduction,
too much refining capacity and to the
beet sugar industry as now protect-
ed.
“If we took the duty off sugar, wnat
would happen?”
“Cheaper sugar. W’ed operate with
half the capacity and the beet sugar

There is no question of wages in

movement. The dockmen are fighting
simply for the recognition of their un

were introduced by the state. In
the records was a telegram sent by
George M.' Griffin, of Kansas City,
which read:
“Hold stiff the present list. No ad

Under cross-examination Mr. White “
told of the organization of the Mis- Haverford was due to sail for

crew of the

.prices.
The prices, according to Mr. White,
were fixed at the probable demand and
the price list was prepared by different
firms and persons. Lists furnished by
the secretary of the association were
used as a basis for the price.
Mr. White expressed the opinion
that lumber manufacturers did not
make a profit of more than five per
cent. He said the prices for lumber
were no higher than in 1908, when Gov
ernor Hadley, then attorney general,
instituted the' proceedings, than in 189a
notwithstanding the fac tthat stump-
age and the cost of labor had advanced
in some instances 500 per cent.

At the last meeting of the board of

ed to have Mr. J. L. Liidlow, the wide
ly known hydraulic engineer, make
report on the feasibility of going to the
river for water for the city of Char
lotte. The statement of the board in
reference to the matter and the re
port of Mr. Ludlow, which must be
of supreme concern to every citizen
of Charlotte follows:
Statement of Board.
In view of the fact that some of our
citizens question the wisdom of the
board of water commissioners in its
decision to go t othe Catawba river
for a wholesome and alSundant water
supply, it has been decided to have
Mr. J. L. Ludlow a hydraulic engineer
of state and national reputation, to
study this question and make a report
Mr. Ludlow is a member and sanitary
engineer of our, state board of health
and eminently qualified to pass on the
subject that is uppermost in the minds
of Charlotte citizens at this time.
The preliminary estimates referred
to In this report, as having been made
by our city engineer, were based on
using some ^’ooden pip© and amounted
to $260,000.00 to $$275,000.00. The feat
ures referred to by Mr. Ludlow as be
ing advisable to adopt, thereby increas
ing the estimated cost as above outlin
ed, means the additional cost of sud-
sti’tuting cast Iron pipe for wooden
pipe.
Our people are urgently requested to
read this report carefully and to act
their part wisely in the matter of ex
tending our water mains to an abun
dant source of supply, so that at no
future time shall It be necessary to call
on water consumers to curtail using as
much water as their desires dictate
BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONRrf.
Winston-Salem,
June 27, 1911.
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of
Water Commissioners,
Charlotte, N. C.
Gentlemen;
In response to your Instruction to
make a study and report on the water
supply problem of Charlotte, I have
the honor to advise as follows:
From general information and spe
cific knowledge gained largely from my
connection with the state board of
health, which is charged by law with
the supervision of the public water
supplies of the state, I am, and have
been for several years, quite familiar
with your present water works and
the general water supply situation of
your city. I have also recently been
over the proposed pipe lines and exam
ined the route thereof and the condi
tions of the Catawba river at the point
where taking the supply therefrom Is
contemplated. I have also examined
the surveys, maps, and reports that
have been furnished by City' Engineer
Firth and Superintendent Vest,
That the present sourse of water
supply is entirely inadequate and
other-wise poorly suited to the needs
and conditions of your city, is so thor
oughly demonstrated as this time, and
must be a matter of such common
knowledge among your citizens, that
hardly more than a suggestion in this
connection appears to be necessary. In
volume, it is insufficient, and in its
possibilities of exposure to uncanltary
conditions on the watershed It Is haz
ardous.
The vital proble^nv which confronts
your city does not appears to relate to
the- argument as to whether th© pres
entsource of supply is sufficient and
satisfactory, but rather to the question
as to where and how such a supply
may best be obtained.
The general problem relating to pub
lic wdter supply for cities and towns
is one with which, owing to its scien
tific character, it is impossible for all
citizens to be familiar. It is therefore
but natural to expect, and to find, that
when such a problem is presented for
the consideration of the people of any
community, divers views' will prevail
and much misapprehension is likely to
be given though, and utterance,
Deep Well Water.
Owing to the universal popularity
of artesian or deepwell water, many
persons, who are not fully informed
in such matters, may urgently insist
that the supply must be secured from
such a source and that it can be so
secured because some other cities have
done so. Towns and cities differ in
many respects—climate, industry, etc.
They likewise differ In the geological
strata beneath them. There are but
bef cities in this country, and through
out the world for that matter, beiieath
or near which the geological forma
tion Is such as to offer a solution of the
water supply problem In the simple
resort of boring wells. This may not
be in all cases because of total ab
sence of underground deep-well water,
but rather the problem of a suitable
city water supply is one very different
from a sufficient supply for a small
town or village, or for a hotel, manufac-
press of Britain and the combined
force made a triumphal march from
dock to dock, calling upon the crews
of each big liner to join them,
