SAYS THEY SHOULD BE FOUR
YEARS - OTHER RECOMMEN-
DATIONS.

In his biennial report to the govern
or, 8. T. johnson, retiring public exam
lner, recommends an extension of coun-
ty officers terms to four years. He
would provide, however, that all should
not retire in the same year. He would
have the county treasurer and county
attorney retire in one year, and the re-
naming county officers two years later.
This would obviate the trouble caused
by general change of administration.
Mr.. johnson would also extend the
term Of the public examiner to four
years, and provide that it should not ex>
pire at the same time as the governor,
but a year later. He would have the
salary increased to $4,000, and that of
the deputy to $4,000. -.
The report commends legislation to re-

Chicago Metal Workers Lose Afer a

An end to the machinists' strike
against concerns connected with the
Chicago Metal Trades Association,
which was the longest in the history
of important industrial struggles in
Chicago. came Monday night when
the strikers, delegates to central la
Dor bodies and officials OF the union
voted to declare all struck" shops
open to union machinists.
This action was the result of the
affiliation of brass and metal workers
with the machinists. These new
members have been working in shops
affected by the strike, and the union
officials were forced either to bring
the strike to a close or call out 800
brass and metal workers. The strug-
gle began May "a, 1904, because of
the refusal of machinists employed
by thirty-two concerns to agree to
the operation of two machines by one
man.
