ALLEN ALSO ASKS
A RAISE :

Ethan Allen jr., plumbing inspec-
tor, last night asked the council for
raise in wages from SIPS to $3.50
month, with $l25 per month for
his assistant. Aliens job is con.
sidered one of the real snaps of
political patronage. His manual la
Dor consists of walking up to a new
building and sizing up the plumbing
after first glancing over the plans.
At the present rate of building he
works about 2 hours a day. The in
spector based his request on the
wages which journeymen plumbers
are to receive after May 1-$6.50 a
day.
The request for a raise. coming as
it does at this time. would indicate
that the troubles between the in
spector and the union have been
settled. For several months the
plumbers were after Aliens scalp.
alleging that he was grating and
was generally incompetent. Charges
were filed and heard. and things
went on at a great rate for awhile.
A few days ago the business agent
of the Plumbers union had a long
talk with Mayor Daggett, and after
that. things quieted down The
proposition at first was to trade
the plumbers voting power in re-
turn for Aliens head. But it is said
a slip occurred somewhere and
Aliens head was unmolested. The
plumbers will still support the
mayor, ii is whispered
The council will consider Allen
