UNION OR NON UNION
COUNCIL is WRESTLING WITH A
REAL LIVE LABOR
QUESTION
THE CASE OF NEWMAN & HOY
This Firm Puts in Lowest BID for
Contagious Ward, but Unions
Want 1t Thrown
Out.

The employment of union labor in all
city improvement and construction work
is the bugaboo that now threatens to
disturb the peace of mind of the mem
bers of the board and of the assembly
Two days ago the board and the as
sembly unsuccessfully wrestled with sew
eral contractors to induce them to en-
ply union painters in the painting of the
Fort Smelling and Selby avenue bridges
One of the firms, Fielding & ShepIey in
formed the members that they would en-
ploy union labor if possible, while the
other, Newman & Hoy, practically en-
tered fiat refusal. Between two fires,
the legal department on the one hand
which furnished an opinion that no such
requirement could be demanded, and the
Painters union, on the other, which
wanted the contract withheld if union
painters were not to be recognized, the
members of both bodies were at sea, but
finally settled it for the time being by
referring the matter to the committee On
streets.
Bids opened yesterday by the board
of control for new contagious ward
to be added to the city and county hos
pital showed Newman & Hoy to be
the lowest bidders, and now fast on the
heels of the bridge contract complications
comes the rumor that representatives Of
all the labor unions will appear before
the council and endeavor to have this
firms bid rejected and the next lowest
accepted. Its bid was SAL, 224 The Eext
lowest bid was $41, $50, and was submitted
by Charles Skooglum.
The firm says it is not antagonistic to
the employment of union labor, and tie
members, it is understood, have signified
a willingness to agree to employ such
if they can. The legal departments holds
that the council cannot reject the bid if
the firm refuses to make such conces-
sion.
The labor representatives contend that
on the majority of city work done
strangers are employed, while in many
instances the contracts are taken so low
that beggarly wages have to be paid.
They say TREY are trying to see that only
St. Paul men are employed, and that
they are paid fair wages

BURGLARS BIG HAUL
TAPPED THE TILL AT REEsE's
SALOON FOR
5000
HAVE NOT BEEN APPREHENDED
Forced Entrance Through Rear Door
and Broke Safe Open-$SOO be-
IOnged to North Star
Brewing Company.

The saloon of Edward Reese, at Sew
enth and Neill streets, was entered by
burglars some time yesterday morning
between the hours of l and 6 o'clock and
nearly $500 in gold and bills stolen. OF
TINS amount $500 belonged to the North
Star Brewing company and had been ad-
vanced to Mr.. Reese to be used in cash
ing checks for the railroad men,
The police are Of the opinion that the
burglary was committed by someone IA
mlliar with the place. From the story
told by William Reese, father Of the pro-
prietor, to I e G ! 0 b yesterday after
noon it would seem that there were three
men concerned in the burglary, and a
rumor was also current that they may
have been the murderers of officer
Mayer.
According to the elder Reese he closed
up the saloon at about ten minutes past
II o'clock Thursday night. The proprie-
tor, Ed Reese, spent the evening at a
neighboring saloon. When Mr.. Reese
opened up yesterday morning he found
that the rear door had been forced open
and the cash register was open. A bot
tie of whisky and six whisky glasses
were standing on the bar beside an open
box of cigars. Mr.. Reese at once, made
an investigation, and going into the
front office at the head of the bar, he
found the safe in a dilapidated condition
and the door lying on the floor under a
table about four feet away. The money
box in the safe had been broken and the
$500 belonging to the North Star Brew
ing company besides about $50 belong
ing to Reese, was gone.
Mr.. Reese claims that when he closed
Up there was about $35 in currency in
the cash register besides three checks.
The checks had not been taken and the
burglars had overlooked Sc in q rear COM
partment of the register.
The safe is an old-fashioned one. about
two and a half feet high and two feet
wide, and the door had been knocked
from the hinges.
People living upstairs all say they did
not hear any unusual noise during the
night The burglars have not been appre-

AFTER CHEAP CANDY
ING NATURE OF COLORTNG
MATTER
DIFFICULT TO PROSECUTE
Candy Law Makes 1t Hard 10 Wage
Successful Campaign Against
AduIterated Sweets-Hedged
With TechnicaIities.

Dairy Commissioner Mcconnell will
very shortly begin a series of chemical
examinations of the coloring used in the
cheaper grades Of candy The depart
ment has a large supply on hand, and it
will be thoroughly tested in this respect.
If it should be found that the coloring
matter used in candy is in some sense
dangerous to health, the department will
conduct vigorous warfare against this
kind Of candy in Minnesota. People think
of the dairy and food department as
having charge only of matters pertain
ing to milk, cream and butter, and do
not realize the scope of work embraced
in its operations. And of those who know
that the department also inspects baking
powder, vinegar, liquor. lard, honey,
jelly, oils and paints, spices and con-
dimentS, jams and preserves, very few
are aware that the department also
keeps an eagle eye upon the candy when
the storekeeper deals out to the school
children, and every now and then takes
samples of candy from the stores for
analysis.
One OF the laws under which the de-
partment operates provides that:
No person SHALL by himself, his serv-
ant or agent or as the servant or agent
of any other person or corporation, man.
Ufacture for sale, or sell, or offer for
sale, any candy adulterated by the adj
mixture of terra alba. barytes, tale or
any other mineral substance, by poison
OUS cOlorS or f1ayOrS or other ingredients
deleterious to health.
Whoever violates any Of the provisions
of this act shall be punished by a fine
not exceeding $50, nor less than $25, or
by Imprisonment not to exceed sixty
days, nor less than thirty days. All
candy so adulterated shall be forfeited
and destroyed under direction Of the
court.
TechnicaIitfes i'm the Way.
The department has not prosecuted this
branch of the work 50 extensively as it
has the others. For one reason the work
of the department covers so wide field
that the force of the department can
not at present handle everything just as
it would like to, but has to concentrate
its effort upon certain things which ere
of the most Importance to the general
public. But there is another reason also.
AS the law reads, it is very difficult to
prosecute an offender, inasmuch as the
law is not very inclusive The depart
ment may prosecute if it finds in candy
ingredients deleterious to public health.
but oftentimes it finds candy composed
mostly of glucose and substances not fit
for consumption, but which do not tech
nically come under the law.
The department regards this law as Of
Of candy is a matter which affects so
many people, and if it is found that the
law will permit a crusade against cheap
candy on the score of it's coloring such
a campaign will be made.

AN EMERGENCY MEETING.
City Health Board Endeavoring to
Meet Smallpox Situation.

An emergency meeting of the City Board
of Health has been called for tomorrow
morning to deal with the smallpox situa-
ton and to arrange. If possible. the form
OF new ordinance to be submitted to the
City Council for the establishment of a
temporary contagion hospital.
DR.. George d. Kahlo, member OF the
Board of Health, said last night: 1.-The
meeting is for the purpose of considering
the advisability of requesting the Council
to furnish funds for the construction of a
pesthouse outside the city limits The
board has not as yet come to the conclu-
sion that it will introduce an ordinance for
that purpose. but it looks now as If that is
the only thing left to us, since the Demo
Gratis in the Council will not assist US in
the way We first requested
DIR. Kahlo spent a good part of yesterday
afternoon driving in the country northwest
and northeast of the city endeavoring to
find location for a pesthouse. He was
unable to find a building or a location on
which a building could be built and he
fears the board will be unable TO gain the
consent or any property owner to rent a
suitable house. DR.. Kahlo has studied the
situation in this city carefully and is ia
miliar also with the manner in which
health boards of other cities deal with
smallpox epidemics. In stating why he
believes contagion hospital outside this
city is impracticable. DIR. Kahlo said:
If We should provide a hospital for the
treatment of smallpox outside the city
there would be about six months OF the
year when it would be utterly useless In a
city of the size of Indianapolis there is
practically no smallpox i'm the summer
months. and IL is only in the cold weather
that smallpox cases are numerous here A
cOntagion pavilion should be placed inside
the city in the hospital grounds. because in
that way the physicians would be able TO
treat the cases more conveniently and
more carefully.
NO FIRE PROTECTION.
There is another strong reason against
placing contagion house outside the city
continued the doctor Such house would
have practically no fire protection. 1t would
be exposed constantly 10 the danger of de-
struction by fire. In the city that danger
would not exist
DR.. Kahlo advanced a number OF rea-
sons why he believes the action OF the
Democratic members of Council in defeat
ing the appropriation ordinance was I'M
wise. He declares they failed 10 recognize
the fact that a temporary contagion hos
pital inside the hospital is infinitely less
dangerous 10 public safety than forcing
the board 10 quarantine patients inside
houses I'm which cases are located.
IF the structure were TO be built within
the hospital grounds" he said, 1T would
