UNION LABEL CLAUSE NIL
Provision Will Not Go in Contracts for
City Printing.
[LBoURN ACTS ON HERDMANS ADVICE
Assistant city Attorney Holds Essen
tiaI Point of Law is that

est Bidder.
[LsoURN ACTS ON HERDMANS ADVIC

The agitation over the insertion IN the
advertisements for bids for city printing, OF
the provision that all city printing should
bear the union label. proved to be merely
a "nare-up' and from present indications
this provision will not be urged as one
Of the conditions upon which the contract
is TO be let.
While the city clerk had not asked the
legal department for an opinion on the
question when he gave out his statement
Saturday, at that time the department held
the union label clause could not be en-
forced. In the first place the legal depart
ment held the charter provided that the
city printing should he let 70 the lowest
bidder and consequently the resolution of
the city council! was Of no effect. Further,
a resolution adopted by a city council IN
1899 would not bind a council OF 1875, so
the legal department held
Monday morning when the city clerk
called upon the legal department for an
opinion regarding the publication of the
notices for bids for supplies for the Fire
and Police board the union label matter
came UP.
Herdnan Says No.
"Ebourn, you will be cnioined before the
day is over" said Assistant City Attorney
Herdman, ii you persist in putting that
clause In the notices 1t is neither here
nor there to me whether the printing bears
the label or not that is Of no effect. but
the law requires that the contract shall be
let to the lowest bidder and that is what
will have TO be done The thing has already
been threshed out in the court house and
there Is no need to go through with It
again"
We'll, let the council rescnd that resolu.
ton" said Elbourn, and l will leave out
the union label clause. / am trying &c
follow the law"
You know resolution by the city coun.
ell is not a law. and a resolution adopted
in 1899 can have no effect on this council"
Very we'll" said Elbourn, If you viii
give me a written opinion to that effec
will leave that clause out of the no
tice."
And thus did the city clerk leave it tC
| the city attorney to take the wrath of tn,
labor unions. and in the meantime Thoma,
klopp of Klopp- Bartlett was in the city
clerks Office preparing his bid for the city
printing. The notices probably will b,
