TRANSFERS ASK FIVE DOLLARS FOR
WORKING EIGHT HOURS FOR CITY

Higher cost of living for man and
beast. with increase in cost of black
smithing and other necessities are the
grounds on which the teamsters of the
city ask an increase of wages to IS
per day on city work.
The request which was made to the
city council yesterday evening in the
form of a petition also says the team
sters are establishing an eight-hour
day on private work and a state raw
requires this to be uniform on public
work
Following is the petition which was
referred to the street committee:
The undersigned committee, rep
resenting the transfers of the city
doing hauling and in some cases OPP
Grating for the city sprinklers, would
respectfully ask your consideration and
favorable action upon the following
matters:
The cost of feed, expense of black
smithing, and all other expenses to ~
met by teamsters, have increased
largely in recent years, and in orcer
to do work better class of horses
have had to be secured in most cases.
While this has been going on the
wages of teams has been allowed to re-

main at the old figures. and in many
cases severe hardship has been work.
ed upon worthy men and citizens
We are now establishing an eight
hour day, as provided by state law for
all public work. and respectfully ask
that the scale of wages paid by the
city be increased to $500 per day, a
price which has been accepted by most
Of the contractors of the city without
a question in the face of the increased
expense of living to be met by men
owning horses We would ask that a
uniform wage of IS be fixed now as
the summer season is near at hand.
The city should demand good service
and should pay fair wages for the
work performed
The eight-hour day is practically
established on every piece of work un
der contract, and scale of wages asked
has met with no opposition, some con-
tractors even stating that they rec
ognized the necessity for an increase
long ago.
Again asking that your honorable
body assist us in securing fair COM
pensation at the hands of the city, we
are very respectfully,

sCHNE|D|SCH ASKS PRIVILEGE Of
SUPPORTING FAMILY AND IS REFUSED

Nick Schneidisch presented a
lengthy petition to the council ask
ing that he be allowed to continue in
business until october l, He said he
was in debt and could not sell out his
stock at once: that he was not ia
miIiar with any other kind of business
and his family would suffer if he We're
not given opportunity to turn around
Considerable discussion was INDUCED
i'm by the council. Mexican. who had
not been present when the license OF
Syhneiiisch was revoked for keeping
a disordrriy house and being an i'm
proper person to run a saloon" said
the request of Schneidisch did not
seem to be an unreasonable one.
Bridges said he was Informed by the
police that Schneidisch was an unfit
and dangerous person to run a saloon
Mexican thought the license ought to
be allowed 10 run out and that the
council ought not to ruin him.
GlasfOrd thought it was doing no in
justice to SChneidiSch to revoke his Ii
cense as he had not lived up to his con-
tract. 4 man who knocks an officer

that Louis GroSsmiller and John kre-
mer had been convicted of violating
the Sunday closing ordinance were fiji
ed by Attorney Barker Bridges imme-
diately moved that the council treat
all saloon keepers the same and re-
woke the licenses. The mayor remark
ed that a new license had been grant,
ed them since the offense for which
they had been convicted.
Kirkman held that all cases could
not be treated just alike. All must
stand on their own merits. The cOun-
ell was not a judicial body to punish
yiolators of the law. Said he:
I'VE started out on a new deal to
make the saloons of the city clean
and we have done it. There is no OBJ
iect in picking two old cases out of
Is or more who were said to be guilty
of violating the law at time when 1t
seemed to be the understanding that
the law was not enforced. For those
who have violated the law within the
past two or three weeks 1T is a differ
emf matter They ought to know by
this time that we live up to the law.
These cases are not in the same class
with that of Louis Schmidt. l shall
act on every case according to my
Judgment not bya set rule. I shall
do what believe myself to be the right
thing" Mr.. Kirkman quoted from
Roosevelt to prove that a good cause
was hurt by the excuses of its friends.
Councilman GlasfOrd thought the re-
marks of his colleague amusing He
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-03-27

said the council had had no oppor-
tunity before to take action on these
cases and they should be consistent
and mete out the same punishment to
Grossmiller and Kremer as to Schmidt
If they took the word of willy poll
tician that they would be allowed to
violate the law it was their risk. They
took chances and ought to suffer They
wanted to violate a law but still as
the council had granted new licenses
they ought to return the unearned
portion.
Bridges fairly bristled with opposi-
ton to the position of Kirkman. He
said:
1T is our duty to enforce the law.
l will vote for enforcing every law un-
til it is repealed. This is getting to be-
a farce. The saloon keepers know this
council is easy. They know just what
members are easy. l propose to stand
by the law. They can shoot at me for
it if they wish but as long as 1 am
l do not care what they say
After a little byplay between Glas-
ford and Kirkman, in which the mayor
took a hand the vote was taken on
the question of revoking the Grossmil-
Ter and Kremer license which was
made as an amendment to motion to
file the transcript. Bridges, Durham
and Glasford voted aye and the other
four nay. The motion to file then car
ried by a four to three vote.

Councilman Kirkman held the fate of
saloonkeepers in the hollow of his hand
last night, at the council meeting and
said which violators of the Sunday
closing ordinance should lose their Ii
censes and which should be forgiven.
Bridges. Glasford and Durham stood
for the revocation of the licenses of
Grossmiller, kremer, Schwarz and
Schmidt all of whom had been found
guilty of violating the Sunday closing
law by the court, while Tausick. Bach
told and Mexican voted in favor of
leniency to the booze" dispensers.
Kirkman also occupied a middle pO-
sition in the case of SchwarZ, getting
Bridges to postpone the time when the
license of the latter should be forfeited
twice, from a simple motion to re-
woke to May l and from May l to June
l, in order to give Schwarz chance
to dispose of his business. Bridges ac-
cepted both amendments and Kirkman
voted for revocation.
The case of Schmidt came up on a
motion to return his bond for a new
license. Kirkman voted with the law
enforcement squad for the affirmative
of this motion which practically denied
the plea Of Schmidt to another license.
At the previous meeting the vote in
favor of revoking the Schmidt license
had been unanimous, Mexican bein"
absent. Mexican, Tausick and Bacn-
told voted for Schmidt last night

down is not proper person to run a
saloon. The council was the proper
judge of who ought to have license.
Tausick made a strong plea for
Schneidisch, saying he had previously
asked that his license be allowed to
run out as he knew of his financial
condition. All men We're not of the
same temperament and Schneidisch
might be rough but the council had
never thoroughly investigated his
troubles GullifOrd had been found
with a knife on his person. 1t was
nothing more than right the council
should investigate the real cause of the
troubles.
BactOld said Schneidisch had tried
to sell out his business but no one
made him any kind of an offer as they
knew his predicament. He could only
sell in a lump on account of United
States laws, and it was no more than
fair to give him a chance to dispose of
stock. .-...

Only partial excavations have ever been
made at Monte Alban. but enough has
been accomplished to indicate many things.
The builders of Monte Alban were scup-
g1yphics in stone, as were those of Palenque
and of Egypt. They built pyramids, as
did the Egyptians. They sculptured and
erected the obelisk, as did the Egyptian,
and they used the amulet of many varie
ties as well.
The work of the jewellers on Monte
Alban was cruder and lacked the fine
tistic touch and taste of the Mitlans.
They built to protect themselves in an al
most inaccessible place, while the MitlanS
had evidently passed that era.
If Militia and Monte Alban and Palenque
were contemporary. then the Mitlans were
of a far advanced race, but the more
probable theory is that Monte Alban ante
dates Militia by thousand years at least
or possibly many thousand.
All the construction. the sculptural ac-
complishment. the pottery and amu!ets in
dictate an earlier age than any of the work
that has been recovered from the ancient
Egyptians.

Suicide Statistics.

From the Social Gazette.
Suicides in the united kingdom have in
creased by 200 per cent in fifty years, and
by $50 per cent in twenty-five years. In
1904, the last year for which official figures
are available, 1923 men and $50 women
took their own lives in England and Wales
alone. while the total in the metropolitan
police district was 600. At least an equal
number of persons were prevented from ac-
comprising their intention. How rapid has
been the increase during recent years may
be seen from the fact that suicides in Eng
land and Wales have increased from 478
women and $40 men in 1885 to 800 women
and 1888 men in 1904. There have been
more than $4,000 suicides in England and
Wales in twenty years.
Bad as is the case of England in other
countries the evil is even worse Accord
ing to statistics recently publishe-. by the
Swiss government, there have committed
suicide during the last thirty-five years
16,640 persons in Switzerland 323. 600 per-
sons in Germany and 274.OoO persons in
France.
German official figures put the number of
suicides in Europe yearly at 10000. Cases
in the German empire itself have risen from
1850 In 1895 to 12.730 in 1908. In America
the number is about 5000 annually, and is
increasing.
