CONTRACTORS
NAY USE
/ CITIZENS

Local contractors who have been
handling city work are much
wrought up today over an order is
sued by the mayor through the me-
,dfum Of the board Of public works
to the effect that all contractors on
city work will have to get rid at
once Of the foreigners and aliens
who have been employed on their
work, and hire in their stead resi-
dents Of the city, giving preference
to taxpayers and men with fam
lilies.
Hundreds of Italians, Greeks and
other foreigners have been employ
ed by local city contractors during
the past few months in direct vio-
lation of provision of the city
charter which demands that on all
city work actual taxpayers and
men with families be employed
whenever 1t is possible to secure
such men.
During the summer months,
when there was plenty of work in
all lines in the city, no objection
was made to the practice of con-
tractors of hiring laborers other
than citizens and taxpayers, but
now that the winter "let down" has
come in all trades, there are many
citizens out Of employment, while
italians and Greeks are filing the
places which, under the charter, be-
longs to actual citizens.
The city requires all contractors
on city work to pay their men S.
per day for eight hours, and these
wages will prove very acceptable
to the many local residents who are
out OF work at the present time.
This morning one entire crew of
men who have been employed on
city work called upon the board of
works to protest against the or.
der calling for dismissal of foreign.
ers, and it was found upon investi.
cation that not one man of the en-
tire gang was a honda .fide citizen.

JOHN DOE LIKED
JAMAICA GINGER

Because John Doe, one of the
famous family which so often ap-
pears in the records of police circles
all over the country, was unable to
secure anything in the line of liquid
refreshments to quench the burning
thirst which consumed him yester-
day he sought relief in the insidious
pleasures of Jamaica ginger, which
healthy appetizer he secured at a
local drug store. The result was
that John soon imbibed a sufficient
quantity of the fiery liquid to put
him in condition of coma, and he
took little nap in a doorway on
Main street, near Stevens. The
cruel cops butted in .on Johns
siesta. and he was yanked into the
"skookum house" to finish his SOM

mitted to stay with the child at the
Juvenile rooms until the old man

Rihard said that she could not come
in, but when the assistant probation
officer saw that trouble was brew
ing she let the old lady enter. Ell
lott and his wife then sought Judge
Hinkle, and in leaving the room the
child tried to depart with her grand
mother.

piteously. Being assured that Mrs.
Elliott would be back soon, the

oats was damning heresy, Rev.
7. o. Johnson of the Epworth Meth

strong sermon yesterday morning
on the topic, Does the Child Be-

reverend contended that the child,
whether boy or girl. belongs to God
and that If he or she is given over
to the devil it is because of miscon.
