Further Consideration of
Ordinance Hung Up
in Council.

Contrary to general expectation,
the proposed ordinance to regulate
employment on city work was not
touched by the council last night,
and there is little prospect that 1t
will be taken up at all in present
form.
Thomas Maloney of Federal
union No. 1924 played his joker
card before the session. and 1t
proved to be the high trump. He
had an amendment ready, requiring
that none but citizens, or those
who had declared their intention
of becoming such, be given employ
ment on city work.
In the course Of the day and
evening, Maloney had secured as
surances from councilmen that the
ordinance would not be seriously
considered unless the citizenship
clause was incorporated. This
clause counteracted that aimed at
the federal union plan.
That brought the whole proceed
ing to halt. for several of the
big contractors on city work prefer
apparently alien labor to any other,
and are not inclined to attack con.
ditions that permit the employ
ment of this class Of labor. The
claim Is made that alien labor Is
paid the wage scale required by
the city, but this is not credited.
AS the matter stands, there Is
likely to be nothing more attempt
ed in the way OF scale regulation
so far as the present ordinance is
concerned, at least by labor inter-
ests, but campaign is already un.
sfer way to add n citizenship pro-
vision to the city charter similar
to that In force In Seattle. The
same fight will be carried into the
legislature In an effort to make the
regulation apply to the entire state.
The Seattle rule requires that en-
ployes on public work must either
be citizens or have declared inten-
ton, and II IL further provided that
they shall have resided in the city
one year.
The sentiment Of a majority OF
the council was expressed last
night by Mr.. Phillips when he said
after the meeting that the council
