THE FIRST, TO QUALIFY.
He VIII Not be an obstructionist
But Work For The Public
Good

One of the first of the newly elected
city officers to qualify was Alder
man Charles Sinner of the First
ward. He qualified yesterday af-
ternOOn and received his commits
sion. Alderman Guerguin, whom
he has succeeded and who was his
opponent, spoke of cOntesting the
election there being but eleven
votes difference between them, but
has not yet determined whether
he win contest it or not. When
asked by reporter for the LIGHT
if he intended to do so he said: 81
can not say yet. l shall first con-
suit counsel and take the advice OF
my attOrnies."
Mr.. Sinner, while elected on the
city administration ticket will not
enter the council as an obstruction
list. He said to a reporter for the
LIGHT: 81 shall endeavOr to be in
accord and harmony as far as pos
sible with the balance Of the city
government. do not believe my
constituency elected me to be an
ObStructiOniSt and do not consider
that my mission. | believe that |
was elected to do as much good as
| can for the general welfare of the
city and my own ward in particu-
lar, and that would not be the way
to do it,"
Aldermen Hoefling, Joe Beck
man and Mackey also qualified

A STRIKE EXPECTED.
The Switchmen's Demand of 25 per
cent Increase Refused.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-The Herald
says: "All doubts as to the fnten-
ton of the switchmen throughout
the country making demand for
an increase of wages, were settled
yesterday by the SwitchmenS Mu-
tual Aid association at Topeka =
which made a demand on the gem
eral manager of the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe railway for an
increase of twenty-five per cent
in their wages, all over the line
from Chicago to Los Angeles,
and making of certain minor
changes in the rules and regula-
tiOnS. The demand was accom-
panied with a threat at striking if
not complied with, and as it has
been refused the switchmen may
go out today, it is understood,
unless wiser cOunSelS prevail. The
action of the switchmen on the
Santa Fe road was surprise
to alls concerned. The officers of
the Switchmen Mutual Aid associ-
alton did not think that any de-
mand would be made before March
LIST. A few days ago Grand Mas
ter Wilson, sent out circular
authorizing switchmen on all roa Is
to make demand for an increase
of % per cent, and change in rules
and regulations, on or soon after
March LIST. Yesterday he returned
to Chicago, and left Immediately
for Topeka, and he will arrive there
today. The officials of the assOcia-
ton say he will, if possible, pre-
vent the strike, and discourage any
hasty action, but it is possible that
he may not be able to prevent it,
and in this case it might precipi-
tate demand for an increase all
over the country. The Chicago
scale is $3.50 and $40 a day for
day men, and 1919 to $3.50 for
night men, a day consisting of ten
hours,
