Public feud over Chicago telephone trust and aldermanic graft
A lengthy critique warns that Chicago aldermen will grant the Telephone Trust power to absorb the Automatic Company. It cites indictments and federal probes into anti trust violations, reports on a Washington stance, and notes about billboard nuisances, health impacts from the drainage canal, and upcoming elections. It urges public control by a state commission and questions term lengths for city officials.
