THURSDAY, JUNE 40. 1901.

CITY Solicitor Henry c. Conrad
yesterday gave his opinion in the
matter Of the ordin ance introduced
in. City Council some time ago pro-
viding that the fire chief and assist
ants shall be elected in rotation
from all the companies. That there
is in his opinion, nothing in the or
dInance contrary to any existing
laws ard Council can legally pass
it if they desire. The anti-combine
men are very anxious that Council
shall pass the ordinance and thus
break up the combine. BY this
means Council will break up the
existing'compact which has existed
tor some time among FIVE fire COM
panies known as the combine and
from which companies the chief and
his two assistants have been select
ed for several years past. The
companies IN the combine are the
Liberty, Washington. Phoenix,
Weccacoe and Friendship. The
four companies out of the combine
are the Water Witch, Reliance,
Fame and Delaware. The men,
bers Of these four fire companies
claim that as they are members OF
the volunteer fire departmental this
city, that they have a right to say
who the officers OF the department
shall be and from what companies
they shall be chosen. The combin.
ing Of The five fire companies have
completely shut out the four com.
panles, and they have been iretting
under the unfairness for some time.
The combine men say that before
the compact was formed, that there
was fighting and much ill feeling
always cropping out every time
the officers we're to be elected and
the department was completely de.
moralized for the time being. We
are of the opinion that the officers
of the department should be chosen
in rotation from each Of the fire
companies. That is the only fair
way and would meet with the favor
of our citizens and the fremen in
general.

vile entertainment and will be given
by the regular dramatic company ut the
park.
II was stated last night by a number
of the maclIiEiSts tl.at they expect an
important change in thu situation in Il
few days. Many of them say that tN"y
expect to he back at work ON a shorter
day system by the first Of next week, if
not before. The strikers are still sIaMu-
inn firm. The men have now been out
for five weeks and not one has EXPRESSED
n desire TO RETURN unless their demands
