asked for the exclusive use of Sibley
park on Decoration day, for Wilkn
post, G.. A. r., and the Woman's Relief
corps.

sion be granted, and the motion was

Wants Action Reconsidered.
Resolutions adopted by the trades and
labor council April 18th were read. They
said that the council should not have
made change in city electrician, as
no charges are made against G. w.
Eichstaedt. The latter belongs to the
Electrical Workers union, while Thos.
McGovern, who was elected to his
place, declines to join the union on the
ground that it would not benefit him.
Mr.. Eichstaedt has also been a fireman
for over sixteen years and captain of
hook and ladder company No. for
eight years. The position of electrician
is one that deals almost entirely with
the fire alarm system. The resolutions
urge the council to reconsider its ac-
tion in electing Mr.. McGovern to the
position, and that it retain Mr.. Eich-
staedt. They were placed on file.

attorney notify the two roads to do
this, and this was carried.
