In the case Of the paving work on
Indiana avenue, where the Hassam
Paving company, which has a
stand-in with the city hall bunch,
has been allowed to beat the ordi-

to be paid to laborers employed on
city work.
The Hassam Paving company is
paying its men on this work at
the rate of 1925 day, when the

Not only is the Hassam company
violating the provisions of the law
as to the wages to be paid, but 1t
as well is overlooking entirely the
eight-hour day law.
The Hassam company, however,
is working its men all the way
