tractors, in their work of building the

a small army of laborers. The firm be-
gan the sewer excavations Saturday.
Several weeks ago ordinances providing
that contractors doing work for the city
should not employ aliens and establishing
a schedule of wages were defeated. To a

citizen, no matter from what nationality
or parentage, can do twice as much work
as a class than pauper labor. He stated
that many men were available for 81 per
day, but they are not reliable workmen.
David r. Jones has been sworn in as in
