CAN CITY RECOVER
ON SURETY BONDS I
NEW LEGAL ISSUE Is RAISED
OVER oUTFALL SEWER
Claimed That Indemnity Was Not
Transferred to stansbury 6 Powell,
but city's Law Department
is Not Alarmed

Another chapter in the troubles over
the outfall sewer is the charge that tha
city of Los Angeles will never be able
to collect on the surety bond furnished
on behalf of the contractors who agreed
to build the outfall.
Though City Attorney Lesltt II,
Hewill processes to be confident thar
the city will ultimately collect at. least
$147,0 from the bondsmen of Contrae-
tors Stansbury & Powell, who default
ed on the contract, others say the city
will fail in this attempt.
This argument is based on the state-
ment that the original surety bond was
given in behalf of S. j.. Edwards OF
He turned it over to Stansbury. g
Powell a month later. The original
contract for bond had no reference to
assigns" though it does state heirs
or executors"
Is Surety Transferred?
The point is made that the surety
company did not transfer the bond to
the new contractors as the word ''as-
signs" was not specified. Hence It
cannot be held for Stansbury & Powell's
default.
city will contend then that the COM
pany must pay the city because Mr..
Edwards did not build the sewer as he
contracted to do-in other words that
The city cannot bring suit until the
completion of the work, hence the,
mooted points can only be settled then.
With an expenditure running into the
hundreds of thousands of dollars the
surety feature looms up in the item of
final cost
Both Mayor Harper and Chairman
Anderson of the board of public works
refuse to regard the charges of the Don
Barker syndicate that the outfall sewer
is leaking as baseless. They admit,
however, that they have made no per-
sonal examination of the work lately
Litigation is inevitable, both because
of the Eldon companys claims of dam
age to it's water-bearing lands near
IngIewood and because Of the surety
bond. 81 RI

NATIONAL COUNCIL
HOLDS MEETING
|. C. Mcneil, Superintendent of Mem
phis, Tenn, Schools, Makes lm-
portant Address on the
Shortage of Teachers

The national council of education meet
ing in Berean hall yesterday morning in
cluded in it's program the discussion of
several topics of vital interest to educa-
tors.
William e. Hatch, superintendent of
schools in New Bedford, Mass, led in the
general discussion of Provision for Elk
ceptional Children in the Public School
System" Mr.. Hatch advocated some sys-
TEN whereby the brighter pupils might be
advanced according to their ability and
not to have to wait half year or more
till the end of the term for regular pro-
motion time.
Frank f. Bunker, assistant superinten-
dent of schools in Seattle, led the dis
cussion on the Report of the Committee
on instruction in Library Administration
in Normal Schools" Mr. Bunker empha-
sized the fact that education should not
cease with the. graduating exercises of
grade school, high school or college, but
should be only continued in the public
library, for the use of which the schools
had only prepared pupils.
l. G. Mcneil, superintendent of schools
of Memphis, Tenn, took part in the dis
cussion on the Shortage of Teachers"

The great strike in the book and JoD
printing industry, in which the Inter-
national Typographical Union of North
America and the United Typothetae
of America have been pitted against
each other for eighteen months, has
attracted considerable attention to
trade union methods and the history
of trade organizations. The Interna-
tional Typographical Union was form
ed in 1852, and has had successful
and progressive existence since that
time. Previous to 1852 there were
MANY local associations or unions of
printers, and convention OF these
local associations was held as early as
1884.
The International Typographical I'm
ion is recognized as a conservative
organization, and this is borne out by
the effort that was made by the Off
GERS of the union to peaceably adjust
the eight-hour contention with the en-
blowers before the strike was entered
into This strike has been a marvel of
financering The International Typo
graphical Union has a membership of
about forty-seven thousand, and, with
the exception of about fifty thousand
dollars, these fortyseven thousand
members have raised by assessment
more than $3,000.000 for the conduct
of their strike for the eight-hour day
The assessment was at first 90 cents
per week. then 10 per cent. OF all
wages earned. The 10 per cent assess
ment was effective for nine months. 1t
was then reduced TO per cent, later
to ) per cent and is now ) per cent.
The method of levying the assessment
is also worthy of explanation. 1t was
not placed by convention, nor by the
officers of the organization. The prop
osition was submitted to a referendum
vote The proposal to levy so cents
per week received majority OF nearly
twenty thousand votes, and the propo-
sal to levy 10 per cent. assessment
received a majority of more than eigh-
teen thousand votes.
The International Typographical I'm
ion also conducts Home at Colorado
Springs, known as the Union Printers
Home. This institution was erected
and is maintained by the International
Typographical Union for its aged and
distressed members. Thus far the
union, in erecting and carrying on this
part of its philanthropic work. has
expended more than FIVE hundred thou
sand dollars in about twelve years
time. There are at the present time
at the Union Printers Home about one
hundred and fifty inmates.
Local typographical unions also have
their benefit features. such as caring
for sick members, assisting those who
may be temporarily out of work, and
burial funds which are contributed TO

the framing of good resolutions. The
birthplace of the club was the Home
stead Hotel at Hot Springs, Va,
where the organizers were gathered
together to fortify themselves with
the mineral baths in readiness for the
simple life they were resolved to lead
during the year 1907. These charter
members solemnly agreed not to treat

Judge Advocate General Davis has
been called upon by Secretary Taft
for a judicial determination of the
power of the Secretary of War In con-
sidering the application OF the sani-
tary. board of Chicago for permission
to divert the waters of Lake Michigan
into the Calumet river. The sanitary
board desires that the lake water be
introduced into the river in sufficient
quantities to cause that stream to run
backward into the drainage canal, and
so into the Mississippi. General Mac
Kenzie, chief of engineers, has re-
ported that this would lower the level
of the Great Lakes. questioning the
secretary's right to issue the required
order.
