LOOM OFF PEflGH Municipal Ownership Losing Its Attractions. AT iLiEAST, IN. UNIONS' EYES Mayor - Dunne Says Civil Service Rules Would Not Protect Em ployes From Summary Dis charge .or Political Pull. - CHICAGO, June 8. (Special.)-Mayor Dunne caused consternation in radical municipal ownership circles today when he stated that -under municipal operation the traction employes, from the conductor and motorman to the trackman who han dles the crowbar and shovel, would come from the unclassified list of the civil service. The comments of Mr. Dalrymplc, man ager of the Glasgow car lines, on politics and traction and unions .have gone far to open the eyes of -organised labor In re gard to municipal .operation. They have given the advocates of municipal opera tion great concern, but Mr. Dunnes state ment places some big bumps in the way of putting into effect any scheme for city operation of the street railways. It has been the fear among the traction employes that the. experienced men would .stand little show .without political pull when it comes to municipal operation. Mr. Dunne's declaration Is that these em ployes, while under civil service, would be in the unclassified list with ordinary laborers. In other words, the trim con ductor with his natty blue uniform and "brass buttons would have to be classified with the laborer who digs In the ditches In the water-pipe extension bureau of the city service. No mental examination is required of this class of employes. They go through a physical examination, their names arc put into a box, and the men who arc put to work are drawn by lot or "by political pull." No guarantj- of retention in the service or protection against discharge by trial exists in this class. The men may be dis charged at will by the head of the depart ment without trial. Just as is done with ordinary street laborers. SUBMARINE BOAT IS LOST FILLS WITH WATER AND SINKS WITH FOURTEEN MEN. British N'avy Suffers Another Disas ter Through Explosion of Gaso line Oft Plymouth Breakwater. PLYMOUTH, England, June S. Submarine-boat "A S" was lost off the breakwater here this morning. She had on board IS officers and men, in cluding her regular crew and men who were In training-. Fourteen of the number were drowned. The others were picked up. The disaster occurred while the "A S" was proceeding to sea for practice, accompanied by another submarine-boat and a torpeao-ooau Three explosions were seen from the shore to occur on board the A s, which suddenly disappeared. Tugs and divers Immediately proceeded to the scene. The submarine-boat lies In 18 fath oms of water. The first intimation of thr disaster came from the boat her self, signaling- that she was submerged nnd could not come to the surface. A signal was received shortly before noon which said "all right up to the present time." Diving parties immediately proceed cd to the scene. Those who were savod were standing- in the vicinity of the conning tower at the time of the dls aster, and were picked up by a passing trawler. They were Lieutenant Candy, commander of the boat: Sub-Lieutenant Murdock, a petty officer, and a sea man. The boat lost was of about 300 tons displacement, and was launched In 1904. A heavy explosion occurred over the po sition where the submarine boat sank, mid there is no hope of saving any of the men who were carried down with her. The explosion at first reported was be lieved to have been caused by the escape of gasoline, similar to those of the 'A 5." One of the survivors says he was unable to explain the cause of the accident to the "A 8." He added that she suddenly rlippod while the hatches were opened and the boat immediately filled and sank.
