COUNCIL NOT READY TO ACT
ON BUSINESS AT SESSION
Ordinances Deferred, but Progress
Made iii Payment of Fire
mems Salaries.
IS MAYOR IN A HURRY F?

Rapid work was done by the City Coun-
Gil at it's special meeting last night The
body met at 7:45 and adjourned at s o'clock.
On account of the failure of committees to
report but two matters were acted upon.
The ordinance providing for the appro-
priation of almost $4,000 to settle back pay
ments due the city firemen was introduced
last night, and was referred to the finance
committee. which will report at a future
meeting
This appropriation is asked to clean the
slate of claims made by the firemen who
served during Mayor Taggart's administra-
ton and were not paid for time which was
granted them as time off,
The resolution giving permission to the
New Home Telephone Company to lease
Company was ratified last night The res
olution was presented by the Board of
Public Works
1t was expected that a report from the
contract and finance committee would be
received last night on the electric light
contract put the committee mao not mao
time to enter into the details and was un-
able to report.
The finance committee also failed to re-
port on the ordinance for licensing brew
cries, distilleries and their agencies al
$1,000 each and the Council could take nc
action.
1t was understood last night that several
members thought that the mayor was at
tempting to rush matters when he in
cluded in his call the electric lighting con-
tract and the brewery license ordinance
However, Mayor Hoffman said that if he
had not included these items in his call he
would have been severely censured as hav-
ing neglected them, and that his object
in asking for the reports at this meeting
was simply TO give the committee opportun-
ity to report if they were ready.

DELEGATE ELECTED FROM
THE CENTRAL LABOR UNION
Barber Charged with Displaying
Forged Credentials-Aid Voted
Hardwood Finishers.
LETTERS TO CONGRESS

The Central Labor Union at its meet
ing last night asked the BARRIERS local
union to recall their delegate, Albert
Marmarosky. from that body. 1t is
charged that Marmarosky approached two
new members OF the Central Labor Union
and represented himself as business agent
of the Laundry Workers Union and asked
them 10 sign his credentials to that effect.
They did this. and also on his recommends
ton, placed one of the laundries in the city
on the unfair list.
It was later learned by these officers
from members Of the Laundry Workers
Union that Marmarosky had no connec-
ton with their union. This was investi-
gated and the executive committee asked
for his release.
The principal business before the Cen
trail Labor Union was the discussion Of
what aid should be given to the hardwood
finishers. who have been locked out for
over eight weeks. 1t came out during the
discussion that a number of unions were
not being assessed for this.
a representative Of the Garment Work
ers Union reported that the evening that
the committee from the hardwood finishers
visited their union that all of the girls
who are members Of the Garment Workers
Union gave every cent Wnlch tney ndo
with them, even 10 their street-car fare,
and many of them had to walk home after
IL o'clock at night alone. This statement
brought round after round OF applause
from the unionists. II was decided 10
vote the strikers 800. Delegates from tho
terra Gotta workers, stenographers and
the international Association OF Mall Car
riers were admitted last night. IL was
voted that each local union should write
to congressman and the senator's repre-
senting Indiana in Congress and ask them
their exact stand on the anti-injunction bill
and the eight-bour bill now pending in
Congress.
A committee was appointed TO ask the
mayor about the report that strike break
ers were allowed to carry concealed wea-
pons TO protect themselves
The committee which entertained the
miners during their recent convention here
reported that they had spent $3.50 in so
doing. Thad S. Gurley presented the body
with a gavel made from walnut taken from
the old West Washington-street covered
bridge.
