ply about the painting contracts award
ed by tho Board of Education.
Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL
Tho half truths Of the Secretary Of the
school Board in his communication an
svering our charges, arc very misleading
and VIC find Il necessary to state our po-
sit'on moro clearly, IL possible feeling as
sured that when all facts arc known the
School Board will be placed in anything
but an enviable position
Secretary Guthrie. for instance. states
that some of tho charges of Local Union
No. 6Si are not worthy Of consideration.
We presume that the partnership affair
OF one of the members Of the School
Board with ono Of the mushroom bosses
was one Of said charges that was un-
worthy Of notice The fact Is that said
partnership has been known TO exist not
only this year but for two years back.
There arc members Of 6s4 who win make
affidavit that they were told by the mush-
room boss painter that the said member
OF the School Board was in partnership
with him and that he was not afraid Of
his inferior work not being accepted.
we also stated in our previous com
munication that the lowest bidder in the
long run has proven the dearest bidder.
so far as the School Board painting is
concerned. For instance, the specifications
call for Berry Bros hard oil finish, but
in place of using such finish they used
the most common article on the market
If the School Board Is really of the .op.n-
ion that such is not the case, they can
send for an expert from Berry Bros. to
make an investigation. We will post the
money and IL the expert decides that
Berry Bros hard oil was used, the said
