$70 MILLION UTILITY BILL
Argentine regulators have levied a $70 million fine on the electric
company that serves the southern part of Buenos Aires because of
blackout that lasted eight days. A total of 100,000 people are still
without electricity since a fire Feb. 15 started the blackout. The
electric company, Edesur, has promised to restore power three times =
and has failed. It was to make another attempt Monday.
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who
profess to favor freedom & yet deprecate agitation are people
who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain
without thunder & lightning. That struggle might be a moral
one; it might be a physical one; it might be both moral &
physical, but it must be struggle. Power concedes nothing
without a demand. It never did & never will. People might not
get all that they work for in this world, but they must
certainly work for all they get."
