PAINTERS HANGING
BETWEEN TWO FIRES
Peculiar Position in Which
Jackson and Sharp Com
pany's Employees Are

There is q serious proposition facing
the painters in the employ of the Jack
son & Sharp Company. They are be-
tween two fires and do not know how
to extricate themselves. The contract
for the building Of parts Of the new
Philadelphia hotel is responsible and
the men are on nettles awaiting the
outcome.
Last spring when the painters had
trouble with the company regarding
the wage scale, it was agreed that the
men should receive $3.50 for an eight.
hour day and all went well until the
Contract for the hotel work was re-
ceived. This is purely a union job and
the union demands that all workmen
upon it shall get not less than SO day
The firm has got to turn the work out
by given time, and they have the agree
ment of the men signed in the spring
that they win not ask for more money,
and the painters union demand that
they stop work until the increase to So
a day is given. Whether they shall
stand by the union or by their agree
ment and work for the firm is the sole
topic Of conversation in the shop. The
question has not been answered yet,
hut something will have to be done to-
morrow. tA

Citizens, fingered at the
Action of the Water De
partment, to Take This
Means of Protesting
Men Interested in the
Welfare of the City
Anxious to Stop the
Payment of Money

1t Is very probable that a town meeting
will be held to protest and take some ac-
tion concerning the manner in which the
Water Department Is conducting the
citys affairs I'm relation to the new hltra-
tion plant. Several citizens who have
taken an interest in the matter and who
have been amazed at the boldness Of the
board in acting against the manifest
wishes of the people said today that they
thoughe the best plan would be to call n
town meeting.
In their opinion it would be more pro-
ductive Of results than If the question
was referred to the Citizens Committee,
which was at first proposed.
a well-known business man who has for
years been identified with every thing for
the good of the city said:
"I think the best plan Is to call a
town meeting to protest against such
scandalous proceedings. 1t should be done
soon before the Water Board gets a
chance to turn a cent of the city's money
over TO the United states Sand Filtra-
ton Company. Delays viii mean that the
company viii get some Of the money
without giving bond that everything will
be satisfactory.
IAN Injunction should be asked for to
restrain the city from paying the money"
The man quoted above is one of many
who expressed like views. The people
seem to be thoroughly aroused. There has
not been a public matter here for years
on which there has been such uniform-
ity OF opinion as on this water matter.
An effort will be made to secure the Opera
House for the meeting.

they brought the boat To the very spot

anchored IL there.
Then they fired and 10 their un-
