The following resolutions and petit
tions were received from Pasadena
Union No. 90, Brotherhood of Painters
and Decorators of America
Whereas, there are a great number of
working men, citizens and taxpayers of
the city of Pasadena who are out of en-
ployment, we as labor organization in
sympathy with the workingmen respect
fully ask your honorable body TO take
such action as is within your power for
their relief. We consider the indiscrim-
mate letting of municipal public work
by contract ia detrimental and unjust
to our citizens who are depending on
their labor for a living.
In many instances the contractors for
street improvements have been let to
Don-residents, who bring their en-
ployees with them, thus excluding our
citizens from the work. They board
and lodge their men on some vacant
lot, thereby taking patronage from our
merchants and hotels.
AS measure of relief and in justice
to our citizens we respectfully ASK that
your honorable body ordain:
First-That all municipal or public
work be performed by the day instead
OF by contract, the same to be under
the supervision of the city engineer or
other competent person.
Second-That eight hours shall con.
Btitute day on such work.
Third-That the preference on such
work shall be given to the citizens and
taxpayers of Pasadena. We believe
that such measures, by your honorable
body, will insure higher class OF work
and receive the approval of the intelli-
gent and fair minded people of Pasa-
dena.
Similar petitions were received from
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners of America by H. HI. Miller.
