NO MORE FREE SHINES.
Shoe Dealers Agree to DO Away with
This Feature.

The Indianapolis street bootblack, who
for a season, could have Iamented with
Othello suddenly finds his occupation re-
turned, the mighty arm of organized labor
having interposed itself between the friend
less urchin of the street and the crushing
power of shoe store capital. Robert r.
Croft is the champion under whose aegis
the crouching shoe polisher found refuge
and it was the Central Labor Union which
intrusted the shield to Croft The shoe
stores, after March l. will give no more
free shines to customers.
Several years ago an enterprising shoe
concern invited its customers to drop in
whenever they chose and get their shoes
pollShed gratis. 1t was more convenient
for man to visit this store and far more
preferable than standing on a street curb
while an urchin sawed away at his shoes.
MI. BokS famous Eastern publication for
young ladies gave the first cruel blow to
ltnerant bootblacks by pronouncing it
seen having his shoes polished on the
streets One might as well scrub his teeth
or make some other part of his toilet on
the highway, 1t was argued. The example
followed by others until now nearly every
shoe store in the city has its shoe black on
Its Staff. The situation having become so
serious to the interests of the journeymen
shoe ponshers, an appeal was sent to Cen
trail Labor Union which. in turn, delegated
it's special commissioner, Mr. Croft to see
what was what, and what could be done.
he has now obtained an agreement, signed
by all the principal shoe dealers, except one
who Is at present in the East, agreeing to
places of business. This agreement is to
go into effect on and after March l.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-02-22

Council would simply be an expression of
opinion not binding and utterly useless.
MIR. KERN REALLY SARCASTIC
Without appearing to attempt sarcasm,
Mr.. Kern wrote that there was no objec-
ton to the Council expressing it's opinion.
On the plumbers combine question, Mr..
Kern called attention to the law passed by
the Legislature of 1897 "a Republican body
against combinations and trusts, and said
that the Council had no authority to pass
ordinances on subjects already covered by
state statutes. Incidentally, it might be re-
marked that DIR. Moffett has not yet intro
duced an ordinance raising the minimum
wages of men employed in the street COM
missioner's office at common labor to 20
cents an hour. The Council has ample
power to do that, but the idea is opposed
the city are now receiving 81. 40 day Tor
eight hours work, the highest wages paid
for similar work in the city.
The special committee that had under
consideration the ordinance permitting the
use of a certain style of VentilatorS recon-
mended that the ordinance be not passed,
its use might be unsafe and prejudlcial
TO the ordinances that are intended to les
sen the danger of CONGREGATIONS. The COM
mittee on safety and comfort reported ad-
versely on the ordinance prohibiting the
hitching of horses ON improved streets.
Mr.. Shaffer introduced a resolution ex-
tending the time for paying vehicle license
fees from Jan. l to April l, 1898. He said
that it was a burden on many TO pay the
fees Jan. /, as now required. as many or
them could not spare the money in the cold
winter months. Mr.. Rauch introduced MS
ordinance providing for the establishment
of dog pound and the appointment OF
poundmaster the provisions or which nave
been heretofore published.
The ordinances, approprlatlng $4zOV lot
asphalt pavement on the open space east
of the markethouse, Mr.. LittleS ordinance
providing that city employees may be PAID
every two weeks, and Mr.. Golfers amend
ment to the building ordinance providing
that, before building permits are issued, the
controller shall be furnished with bond
for 500, providing that improved streets
shall be restored where they have been cut
into, to the satisfaction of the city engl-
neer, were all passed
Another effort made to pass Mr.. Lit
ties ordinance providing for the appoint
ment of a special standing committee, 70
which all matters pertaining to parks shall
be referred. There is opposition to this
from the finance committee, which would
naturally have the consideration Of all such
Subjects and the Little ordinance was vot-
ed down. There are nine members on the
finance committee, two less than major
ity of the Council, and this gives it the
whip hand in all park matters. More than
a majority of the committee is opposed to
a further bond issue, it is said, and will
insist on parks for the South Side before
recommending appropriations. With the in
PRODUCTION of the ordinance transferring the
park money to the board, some interesting
developments may be expected in park
matters.

PArRoLMAN WILSON DROPPED.
Failed to Keep His Promise Not to
Get Drunk.

NSeI
The Board of Safety yesterday morning
dismissed Patrolman James F. Wilson from
the force for intoxcation. Wilson did not
deny the charge that he had appeared at
roll call under the influence of liquor, where
his condition was observed by Sergeant
Kruger. Wilson was before the board on
similar charge not long ago and was fined
six days pay, after promising never to be-
come. intoxicated again. Yesterday he
promised the board to quit drinking entirely
if given another chance. 1t was considered
best for the good of the service to dismiss
him.
Superintendent Quigley recommended that
the board purchase six bicycles for the use
of the patrolmen 1t is his intention to add
two more to this squad. Controller Johnson
suggested that the board might go into the
sample copy business, as IL were, by ask
ing six companies to furnish bicycles, with
the understanding that hereafter bicycles
would be bought from the company whose
wheel lasted longest. Nobody. ever heard
of any one giving anything to the city when
there was chance to sell, and the PROPOSE
ton was not entertained The recommended
ton of the superintendent was lald ASIDE
until it can be ascertained whether the
board has any available funds
G. Schrader presented the board with a
bill against Patrolman |. u. Deputy for 50
for ten dozen ice cream dishes which had
been rented at the request of the patrolman.
1t appears that the dishes were not returned
and the patroIman refused to account for
them. Richard c. Herrick, clerk OF the
board, says that he understands the dishes
We're used at some kind of a lodge enter
tainment. not at pink tea. Superintendent
Quigley was instructed to require Deputy
to produce the dishes or pay for them.
