IF 1 were guilty of the misdemeanor

SUIT AGAINST THE REGENTS
LABOR FEDERATION FILED IAN
AMENDED COMPLAINT.
Alleged That Architect Klettingi
Gave Contractors Inside Informa-
tion-Case Reversed.

The conflict between the representatives
of the Utah Federation of Labor and the
university regents over the manner of
awarding contracts for the erection of the
universitys new buildings. broke out
afresh yesterday by the plaintiffs in the
action filing an amended petition for an
order to restrain the regents from con-
tracing with w. II. Roney for the erec-
ton of the physical science building at a
price of s656 in excess of Grundfor & At
RinSOn'S proposal. although Roney's bid
for all three of the buildings was consid-
efably less than the local contractors
figures.
Last Saturday, in sustaining the regents

Thomas Morris ct AL, plaintiffs in the ac-
ton, Judge Hiles pointed out that there
was no allegation of fraud or bad faith
on the part of the regents, but yesterday

The amended petition alleged KlettinS
gave Roney the benefit of inside Informal
ton to the exclusion of the other bidders,
who were misled to believe that the hon

would be accepted. whereas only Roney
and GTunfor & Atkinson had an intima

three buildings would secure the contract.
The amended complaint also sets up that
if no discrimination had been shown bids
lower in the aggregate than either OF the
two mentioned would have been submit

skilled in the business of contracting for
the erection of large buildings.
The university regents scott at the idea
that the compliments charges have any
foundation in truth, and SO sure are they
of being victorious in the litigation at
hand that they have let the contract for
erecting the new buildings to Roney, who
is preparing a vigorous campaign of work.
