SEE the cARMGN
IN HIS SHIRTWAiST

Have you noticed the shirtwaistS
lately donned by most of the w.
w. P. carmen? They're noticeable
all right, although there is nothing
about them calculated to arouse
feminine jealousy or emulation. On
the contrary, they look like they
were manufactured out of overalls,
and this appearance has naturally
engendered the suspicion that they
are furnished by the company.
Such is not the case. however. The
company merely insists that If its
carmen wear shirtwaists the same
be all alike. The carmen selected
a color and material the least like
ly to show dirt and wear out quick
ly-W. w. p. carmen are not eX-
travagant in wardrobe expenditure
for a very good reasOn-and conse-
quently all but a few bloomed out
in rather rusty blue. There Is no
peekaboo effect or anything of that
sort to attract attention, just the
ordinary shirtwaist idea that man
stole from woman and wears puffed
out and wrinkled at the belt. 1t
doesn't help his looks any and ac-
centuates any little discrepancy
there might be in bent shoulders
or slab sides. But the carmen say
it's comfortable and comfort is too
scarce a thing in w. w. P. service
to be lightly dispensed with.

OLD RING STILL
POWERFUL

If, as it is becoming frequently
asserted, the Tenderloin influences
which controlled city government
for years past have been successful
in framing up the present council,
Mayor Moore will be compelled to
maintain an isolated position for
the remainder of this year. Every
influence that can be brought to
bear upon the newly elected mem
bers of the city council is being ex-
erted in the hope that the revolt
of the people against ring rule of
last spring may come to naught
when the entire newly elected
council is in power.
The action of Councilman Dalke,
of the Fourth ward, in voting
against the appointment of sue
cessor to Commissioner ONO indi-
Gates that he has to an extent been
influenced by the old political ring.
Voters of the Fourth ward are
pleased with Dalk's success in
blocking the franchise of the o. r.
& N. crossing on Monroe ST., but
feel chagrined that he refused to
support the mayor in his effort to
strengthen the board of public
works. The fact that ONO still
holds his place is good evidence
that the old ring is still powerful
as far as the council is concerned.

KNOCKED PRATT
PLAN IN HEAD

Councilman N. S. Pratt is
madden than the proverbial wet
hen at the juggling done with his
ordinance designed TO raise the pay
of city foremen to So cents an
hour. AS originally presented to
the council. Pratt worded the ordi-
nance So that it read foreman of
the water department" This fore
man was Malachy Shaughnessy.
Just why Malachy should be
singled out for raise in salary,
Pratt did not explain, so the finance
committee to whom the ordinance
was referred. struck out the words
water department" which, when
the ordinance finally passed grant
ed a raise to So cents an hour to
all foremen in the city. There are
about 8 of them.
OF course they were overJoyed
and all that at the raise, and then
soon afterward they weren't over
tjoyed a bit, for the board of pubic
Works decided that instead OF CIV
<ing them the exalted titles of fore
men they would cali them assistant
foremen and pay them salaries
ranging from ss5 to 500 a month.
But there were 8 men who kept
titles of foremen, these being the
heads of the street, water and city
yards apartments.
Before taking this action Cor
poration Counsel Hamblen was
consulted and he give it as his
opinion that the board had a per-
feet right to reduce the foremen
because "in cases where the
language of an ordinance is doubt
full. the statements and intent OF
those passing the law may be taken
into consideration"
However, Councilman Pratt did
not mean that anyone but Shaugh-
messy should have his salary raised,
and in consequence of the failure
of his plan, a week from tonight he
intends to present another repeal
ing the old provision.
