Says Low Wages Lower the Standard
of Citizenship.

Haverhill. Mass. Jan. John C.
Chase. elected on a Stcialistic platform.
took the oath of office as mayor of
Haverh Il to-day. In his inaugural ad-
dress Mr. Chase assured the members
OF the city government and the people
that every atom of power" possessed

The mayor then referred to the dc
STABILITY of preserving equal rights upon
which ''the liberty and happiness of
every man, woman and child are cOndi-
toned" and asserted that these are
possible of attainment ''ony through
the establishment of the cooperative
commonwealth"
Continuing, Mayor Chase said:
Il believe that every power the NUM-
cipaiity possesses should be placed mt
the disposal of the people in the inter
est of civilization. With that aim in
view / submit the following specific re
concentrations:
First. the passage of an order estab
fishing the minimum wages for street
employees ut 81 for hours work.
Second. union wages and conditions
to prevail in all brick and stone masons

the street department..
Third. all city printing to bear the
