WANTS TUNNEL WORK MADE UNION
c. F. U. Delegate Suggests That Delay SavOrs
Strongly of Graft.

Several delegates at yesterdays meeting of
the Central Federated Union We're inclined to
call 10 task the committee which was appointed
some time ago to try To get union conditions
established in the tunnels under construction
and to be constructed They demanded to know
why the committee had not reported. and why
number of non union men were employed On
large contracts by contractors who are doing
tunnel work
Il would like to know the cause of the delay
said James Holland. of the Eccentric F1remen's
Union. why are these contracts not unionized2
Is 1t because there is graft in 1t? When things
long delayed there is always suspicion
OF graft"
Chairman Thomas Curtis OF the COMMITTEES
said there some mistake, as II was matter
OF record thar the committee had conferred with
Mayor Mcclellan and with his cooperation the
matter had been brought before the Rapid Tran
sit Commission. with the result that all the con-
tracts were to have the eight-hour and the pre-
vailing rate of wages rules.
Matthew McConville. OF the Safety Engineers
Union, hardly thought it possible that they could
get a straight labor union clause In the con-
tracts, but said 1t was for the unions In the diff
fsrent trades TO organize the men.

The Stories in the January ''New

The first number OF the New Idea for
the new year brings some unusually
good stories, which are an index of the
high class Of fiction to be offered to our
readers during the other eleven months
to come. Margaret Hamilton Wagon
halls, whose work has appeared before in
the New Idea, contributes a charming
story entitled 1.-The Vances' Christmas
Week. in which the affections OF a
young couple are temporarily upset, but
happily readjusted in the end. A new
series of sketches, Some Neighbors," is
begun in this number by Marion Hill, the
well-known writer OF short stories,
Nothing escapes Miss Hills powers OF
