The council is nearing an under
standing with the Central Union Tele-
phone company on its new ordinance,
under the terms of which il coutem-
plates the rebuilding of it's local plant
and the burying of its wires in the
fire limits. The Electrical Workers
union has been demanding a union
labor clause in the ordinance. but the
company has given its ultimatum as to
this, holding that such a concession is
contrary to the well known policy of
the corporation. The electrical men
have been assured verbally. however,
that the company will tote fairly on
the labor proposition. and the former
have stated that they would not insist
on their demands for the insertion of
the clause in the ordinance if it was TO
