LABOR UNIONS OBJECT.
Methods Employed by Express Conn
panies Criticised.

Officials OF some OF the labor unions in
of the local express companies in the de-
livery of packages. 1t seems that the COM
panies have entered into a compact to di-
vide the work given them by the union
offices and refuse when they have given a
delivery TO transfer the packages to the
other offices in case they should not have
an express Office at the destination of the
package. The various labor headquarters,
like the insurance companies, send a great
many packages from the city each day, and
consequently employ good many common
carriers. But under the system now in
vogue among the express companies they
must first look in the guide books and as
Office at the city to which they wish to
send the package before calling an express
carrier or they will have their packages
coming back to them.
The United Brotherhood of Carpenters
uses almost altogether the Adams Express
goods TO a point where there is no Adams
Office they must call one OF the other
offices. In other words, the companies will
not transfer goods when they find they
cannot deliver them, bur return them to
the sender.
Frank Duffy, secretary of the United
Brotherhood OF Carpenters, said he believed
the companies We're violating the laws gov
erning common carriers in their methods
and that they intended to resort TO the
courts before they would submit longer He
declared that hereafter they intended to

DEMAND FOR MORE MONEY
COUNCIL ASKED TO GIVE $12.76O TO
ENGINEERS OFFICE.
This Is $1,000 i'm Excess of Previous
AppropriatiOn-Tran of Funds
New Ordinances.

Following closely upon Mayor Holtzman's s
and City Controller Dunn's declarations
that the Bookwalter administration spent
too much money, and that George T. Breun-
il, turned over the affairs of the city con-
troller's Office with the city hard up" the
Hoffman administration has already begun
to prepare to spend more money in the city
civil engineers department than was spent
in this department. by the last administra-
ton.
At the request of City Controller Dunn an
ordinance was introduced in Council at the
special meeting last night to increase the
appropriation for extra inspector and cler-
ical work in the city engineers department
next year to s12.76o from s7,76o.
With the ordinance, which was referred to
the finance committee, Council received COM
munications from Controller Dunn and City
Engineer Jeup. in which they state that the
extra work to be done in the city engineer s
department next year will require an expen-
diture in excess OF s776O. and that 5000 in
addition will not be too much.
Another ordinance was introduced at the
request of the city controller-one to appro-
pirate S6.925 for the payment of the salaries
in the city engineers department for Octo-
Der. November and December. A communi-
cation from the controller says all of the
salary fund for the city engineers depart
nlent has been exhausted.

An ordinance was introduced to ratify the
contract entered into between the Board OF
Public Works and the Indiana Union Trac-
tion Company Oct 26 by which the traction
company is given the privilege to bring the

WILL "HoLD UP" THE BILL.


On the advice of City Controller Dunn the
Board Of Public Works will hold up pay
ment TO Remington Brothers for sprink-
hing unimproved streets the first fifteen
days of October. The bill for this work
amounts to ,2S4 and the allowance was
made by the old board. The new board
viii hold up the payment OF the bill until
an investigation can be made. Controller
Dunn advised this action on receipt OF q
letter from City Engineer Jeup, 10 the
effect that some OF the allowances for the
sprinkling done during October were made
unJustly. The city engineer has advised
that an Inspector IN the Street Department
go over the sprinlzling rolls and make a
thorough investigation before warrants are
drawn FOR the payment of the bill.
Ihe Board OF Works yesterday instructed
Street Commissioners Herpick TO replace
the temporary bridge over the canal at
Washington street. This action was taken
on the complaint from George Merritt that
the structure is much needed.
President Downing says the contract for
the disposal of the iron in the old Wash
1nSton-Street bridge over the canal was not
let by contract. SO far as he can find out,

Nest Exaspcrating Question for Him
to settle I. Who VIII De Chief OF
the Fire Department..
TAGGART OPPOSED TO CooTs
CHAIRMAN KEACH Il Equally SET
AGAINST THOMAS F.. BARRETT.
Several Appointments in the Board of
Health OGice-anafrs OF the
Works Board.

Another feature OF Mayor Holtzman's
difficulty in deciding whether TO throw
Chief Coots out OF the superintendency Of
the fire department and appoint in his
place Thomas +. Barrett. 4 Taggart Demo-
crat. came 10 light yesterday.
This new discovery shows that the
Democratic household" is divided against
itself on the fire chief matter. The situa-
tion is about this way: Mr.. Reach. chair
man OF the Democratic city committee, on
one side: Thomas Taggart. the all-powerful
or the other. and Mayor Hoffman in the
middle.
Mayor Holtzman's position is. indeed. a
most exasperaung one. II ne Gusts Coots
and appoints Barrett as chief the mayor
will offend Keach. IL the mayor retains
coots he viii offend Taggart, who insists
that Coots shall not be at the head Of the
fire department during the term OF the
Holtzmsn administration. Then there are
other things 10 be considered by the mayor,
too. IN deciding this matter. The independ-
ent Republicans who, the mayor thinks,
helped elect him want Coots retained as
chief
James Leroy Keach, Il is said. has no
use for Thomas +. Barrett and does not
want him put at the head Of the fire depart
ment. Tasgart, It is understood. has sent
emissaries to Mayor Hoffman, telling him
that "the best thing TO do IS TO oust Coots
and appoint Barrett to succeed him."
IN his opening speech at the beginning Of
the mayOralty campaign John w Holtz-
man promised. among other things. that
he would take the police and fire depart
ments out OF politics" il he were elected
mayor.
This sounded we'll and neither Keach nor
Taggart objected 10 IT. Now that the mayor
wants to carry out this promise-for 1t is
said ne would like to retain CoOts as chief
OF the fire department-bOth Taggart and
Reach object 10 such a move.
James Leroy Reach is known, among
other things, for always wanting to have
desires and plans of others. no matter what
own way as chairman OF the Democratic
city committee. Mayor Hoffman OF
course. feels that he Is under great obIiga-
tons to Keach. Tie mayor also feels that
he 5 under almost as great obligations TO
Thomas Toggart. without whose assistance
his election could not have been brought
about Reach has n personal dislike for
Barrett. il Is understood, and he has told
the mayor that he is very much opposed 10
Barrett being appointed chief OF the fire
department. The mayor has tried 10 ''rea-
son" with the chairman. IL is said but
Reach VIII not be ''rea asOned'' with in this
matter. He sticks TO his original demand
that some other Democrat than Barrett
be appointed to succeed Chief CoOts. The
outcome is awaited with interest.
