and the present conflict between the
sewer diggers and the contractors has
put II to the fore again.
The bid under immediate consid-
Grafton was that for the fifth section
OF the Waterman-ave. sewer.
I'VE believe that the city could
build It's sewers cheaper. In the long
run, than can the contractors" de
clared William Lee, who represented
the Detroit Federation OF Labor execu-
tive committee.
What IL we accept your recon-
mendation. build this sewer by hiring
union men-and then the cost is sew
eral thousand dollars more than these
bids?" asked Aid. Gilman. "Will
your union or federation pay the diff.
ference TO the city,"
Lee admitted he had no authority
to make any such promise.
These union men can do the work
cheaper for the city on account of
their Skill" argued Lee.
Then why don't the contractors
hire them?" retorted Gilman.
You ought not to ask US TO expert
ment with this sewer" asserted Aid.
Reinhardt. This has been adver-
tised until the bids have come down
to point where the contractor would
be lucky to make any money"
III any sewer costs more by the per

The matter was finally taken under
