letter asking that the charter amend
ment voted by the people raising the
minimum laborers' wage in city work
to SO be not submitted to the legis-
lature for approval
After the people have voted on this
amendment and given the laborers the
minimum wage. it strikes me as un-
mitigated gall in these men TO come
here with this sort of petition. Why
should it go TO the city attorney to
decide any legal question: The people
have spoken in the matter. If in the
face of that the Merchants association
wants to fight the matter, let it take
the question into court"
Mayor Mccarthy, who returned to his
duties after several weeks of severe
illness added: What kind of a posi-
ton would this board occupy to go
back on the amendment after it had
submitted, it to the people and they
have sustained it?"
Bancroft. Cutten and Murdock
thought there had been raised some
sort Of a legal question in the matter
and were for laying the subject before
the city attorney, but all the other
