SEE-SAW ON NEW
LABOR CONTRACT
Employees and Employers Will
Probably Be Held.

At the meeting of the tri-city organ
izations of street railway employees Il
contract was framed and later was sub
mitted to the managers of the Tri-City
Railway company for approval. Under
the present contract the new employees
are receiving Is cents per hour and the
old ones 20 cents. The proposed agree
ment was to the effect that the new
men should receive 201a cents and the
old men 221a cents.
The employers were not satisfied
with the contract submitted and drew
one containing sliding scale. 1t pro-
vides that at the end of one year the
new men shall receive 20 cents. the
old, u cents; at the end of two years
the new shall receive II and the old
% cents. At the end of three years
the increase will be l cent on each.
At the meeting of the employees last
night this contract was rejected and a
conference committee was appointed
to meet the employers. The meeting
has been held, and while the report has
not been made to the organization 1t
is understood that under the explana-
ton of the employers they are now sat
isfied with the proposed contract and
will so report.

ASSESSMENT ROLL IS FILED
Total Amount for Sewer District No. 2,
$43,275.

The assessment roll of sewer distric.
No. 2 of the southwestern drainage
system has been filed in county court.
The total amount assessed is $43,275.
OF this amount, $16,S91.04 is against
the property woners, railway compan-
les and school fund, the remaining $26,.
1886 being against the city. The as
sessment was made by P. F. Cox and
III. Craig Haverfeld. Inasmuch as Min
ute Man Haverfield has a suit against
the city now for $500 for work he did
not do, it would not look right for the
mayor to name him as commissioner
again. SO Mr.. Cox was named and Hav-
erf1eld gets in as assistant. 1t is re-
ported that Hy Grothe will be named
as commissioner for the other district.

Deneen and Lieut.-Gov. Sherman today
vigorously attacked government owner
ship of railroads before the state bank
ers' association. Gov. Deneen says in
finite injustice is being done industries
in the effort to protect labor from un-
necessary risks. Unless employers act,
he added. they will shortly find their
business regulated by laws placed upon
the statute books by men not familiar
with the requirements. The question of
regulation or no regulation is rapidly
passing into the dangerously radical is
ment ownership. It's proper antidote, he
declared, was to be found in the greater
participation of the conservative ele-
ments of society in economic discussion
and in the political life.
