Contracts and Estimates for Work.

Washington, d. c., May "a.
EDITOR SUNDAY GLOBE: The general
abuse Of this old-time system by sharp
ers--the proper name should be
thieves-owners Of property, contract
ors or agents, when having work done
by mechanics or laborers, generally in
sist on getting an estimate on the job
before entering into a contract.
The times are such that 1t is con-
sidered no crime to get a great deal
for nothing. For instance, six me.
chanics generally known to each
other) are asked to give an estimate
on a job. Each gives two hours Of his
time and knowledge on the estimate,
only one may get the job,
What do the five mechanics get for
giving ten hours of their time and
knowledge? Who is ebnefited? The
contractor or would-be employer is
ahead ten hours for which he has not
paid one cent, besides being educated
by the mechanics, for which he pays
nothing.
This is called business; getting a
great deal for nothing; It's proper
name should be stealing What right
has the employer to the time and
knowledge Of the mechanic and labor
ers. The right to pay for value re-
ceived.
My advice to you, fellow mechanics
and laborers, is, refuse to make esti
mates IN the future unless you gel
