LITTLE PROSPECT OF BONDS.
Controller Morrow's Plan for . Popular
Vote Not Likely to BE Adopted-Many

Controller Morrow's Plan for . Popular
Smaller Contractors Will Go Under as q
Result.
The adoption and application Of Controller
Morrow's plan for popular vote on the
bond question is not likely to occur very
soon, if ever. Councils have adjourned for
the summer and no ordinance can be passed
for several months except at special meet
ing. As far as can be learned no effort will
be made by Councils to pass any such meas
ure. The communication Of the Controller
was referred to the Finance Committee Mon
day afternoon and there it is likely to stay.
Controller Morrow was asked about the
matter yesterday afternoon and said:
81 have notified Councils of the condition
of affairs and there my duty ends. 1 Will
make no further move in the matter, but
time will demonstrate the correctness of my
position. 1t is serious question to set
lightly aside. All over the city numerous
contractors have put money and time into
street work. The city cannot collect money
to pay them under the curative law in less
than 1s months. There is but one result All
these contractors, with the exception of one
firm, will go under unless they get their
money. They will take the last resort and
go into court, making considerable more ex-
pense"
Contractor Evan Jones said: "The Con-
contractors must get their money either by
the way indicated by the Controller or
through court decisions"

one that could be devised. A bonded in

THE STRIKE SOON TO END.

A Final Conference VIII Be Asked for
To-Day to Settle It-Painters Threaten
to Go Out This Morning-New Rules
Not Liked.
The end of the building trades strike is
very near. The Carpenters Council met
last night and instructed its confer
ence committee to ask for another
conference to-day and gave the committee
unlimited power. This was regarded by
many and admitted by few to mean that
the carpenters had weakened and were will
ng to give in.
They are not, however, entirely response
BILE for this state of affairs. The develop
ments of the past two or three days
have been against them. The action
of the plasterers, stonemasons and
finally the painters has had much
to do with overthrowing the work OF
the strike leaders and discourag1ng the men,
All the unions seem to be more or less In a
demoralized condition, and if the strike is
lost it is expected to carry with it q dfSrup-
ton of the Building Trades Council.
The stonemasons will hold q meeting to-
night in their hall. All unemployed men
portant business is to be discussed.
The painters had their new rules sub
mitted to them yesterday, and 1t Is said they
will stop work this morning. The new rules
of the bosses provide that nine hours shall
constitute days work, and that men shall
merits. The old scale provided for fixed
rate of wages and gave the men eight hours
on Saturday. A committee has been appoint
ed by the painters to settle any disputes
that may arise through their withdrawal
from the Building Trades Council.
