date June IS, lsos,s City Engineer
Thomson says:
"As to the use of day labor: The
difficult work of erecting the dam
and of constructing the penstocks
for our power plant on Cedar river,
has been done by day labor. This
has been very successfully done"
Those opposed to the day labor
plan in this city are taking COM
fort in the cost of the Washing
ton St bridge and the new well at
the water WORKS. Without going
into detail on the items of expense
connected with these undertakings
this can be said. no serious mind
ed and good faith effort was made
to keep the expense down to a
minimum and give day labor fair
test. We find that on the bridge
non-productive labor engineers,
superintendent and timekeepers)
were paid $1O,74161 as against
$10,445.40 for carpenters and $19,-
1852 for laborers. The figures
should speak for themselves.
Granting for the moment and for
the sake of argument that the work
referred to did cost more than 1t
should have cost, it is not to be
considered a fair test of day labor.
The adoption of the day labor plan
necessarily presupposes a properly
and efficiently organized board of
public works and city engineers
Office, together with the adoption
of the civil service system for all
city employees. This last must of
necessity be adopted in the course
of time. The city should pass an
ordinance similar to article XVI of
the Seattle city charter. This will
be in keeping with the growth of
the functions of municipalities
throughout the world.
The movement for day labor
should be favored by the business
interests of the city, as it will
when properly carried out mean a
more efficient public service at less
cost to the taxpayers. It should
be favored by the laborers of the
city because when you reduce the
burden on taxpayers you reduce
the load that labor must carry. 1t
should be aggrcssively fought for
by the labor unions of the city, as
it will in some measure serve to
prevent the influx of foreign and
floating labor otherwise brought
into the city by the contractors
and thus enable the city to cope in
part with its unemployed problem.
1t would be a step IN the direction
of the increased duties which
municipalities are going to be call
ed upon to take as time passes.

Still another kick is made with
the left leg and arm in front. The
weight of the body is carried
lightly on the left leg. A forward
kick is then madde with the point

kick is given with quick sharp

it was his understanding the mat
