ORGANIZED LABOR REVIEWS FIGHT
FOR 8-H0UR DAY ON FEDERAL JOE

hitting the contract work for the
government to be done under the
10 and II hour workday.
1--WE believe our government
should treat all it's workmen fairly,
especially those employed through
contractors, otherwise the unfair
contractor is given a license to in
flict, as they are now doing, a 10
and in many cases a ~ hour work
day upon men and women doing
government work, thereby defraud-
ing the government as well as de-
grading the community.
Congress has demonstrated the
desirability from every standpoint
of the eight hour workday by es-
tablishing it in all the departments,
with the very best results both to
the government and it's employees.
wherefore we request that the
eight hour bill, known in the SEN
ate as S. r. 1913, and in the house
as n. r. 15441, which provides for
an eight hour workday on all con-
tract work done for the United
States government, be reported
out of the committee and passed at
this session of congress.
Respectfully submitted.

after returning in calling for war

he had put in in visiting the old

Councilmen Peter Nelson and E..
Y. Lambert and City Clerk Elem
ing were in California for three
weeks, but were not 'dOcked" and
found a check for their January sal
aries awaiting them, SIS each for
the councilmen and 5000 for the
city clerk. Fleming, however, had
asked the council for permission to
leave before he went, which was
granted. And it should be said for
Lambert that he put in month as
acting mayor in December with
out one penny of extra pay, serv-
ing the city in this capacity for SIS
per month, while the office OF
mayor pays $333.15 a month.
Councilman Dalke has now been
in California for six weeks. A check
for his January salary awaits him,
and as he will not come back until
about March 3 another check Will
be in readiness by that time
money for Dalke that has never
been spent This $3.50 that Dalke
will pull down on his return will
help a great deal toward compen-
sating him for the excitement he
has missed by being away from the
city hall in the meantime.

Organized labor throughout the
United States is again taking up its
fight to secure an eight hour day
on government work done by con-
tract. From practically every state
in the union, labor unionists are
preparing new petitions to their
representative at the national cap
ital, asking that they support the
movement, declaring that the pres
ent plan of working men on gov
eminent jobs being done by con-
tract, 10 and ~ hours per day, is
unjust and degrading.
Following is a petition being sent
to Congressman Poindexter and
Senator Wesley l.. Jones by Spo-
kane unionists:

the state of Washington, respect
fully urge upon you, and through
you the congress Of the United
States, and especially its commit
tee of labor, the injustice of per-

No more dramatic incident has
taken place in long time within
the battle Scared walls of the
council chamber than was the re-
movaI of Police Commissioner Carl
w. Tuerke from office last night.
In fact, the event was tragic, as
it spelled the political finish of a
man who for months has been the
object of more grief around the city
hall than any man that ever filled
a like position.
The council chamber was packed
to the doors, as a number of inn
pOrtant matters were pending.
While people were expecting pos
sible councilmanic action on
Tuerke yet it came in an unlocked
for manner and from an uneX-
pected source, as not even the half
dozen keen witted newspaper Len
present had been able to get on the
inside of the little drama that was
| about to be enacted.
With a suddenness that almost
took ones breath. the attack on
Tuerke was opened by Councilman
| George w. Shaefer of the Second
ward, man wac has cnampioned
Tuerke at all times and voted to
retain him in office when removed
before by the city council. Shaefer
arose in a quiet way and asked the
! chair for the right to speak to a
question of personal privilege. He
| gradually lead into a cool but i'm
| passioned discussion Of the visit Of
Tuerke to Judge Webster's old
home in Kentucky. delivering an
excoriation of Tuerke the like of
| which has never been given by one
| city official to another on the floor
| of the council.
During the progress of Shaefer's
| talk there was a deathliko stiffness
in the room and every word of the
Second ward councilman fell like
| the blow of a triphammer. After he
had finished there was nothing left
to be said by the other members,
and the roll was called. With the
| announcement of the results to
| for the removal of the unfortunate
Tuerke-there was an outburst of

| The Shaefer motion was sec
onded by Cartwright. who on the
former removal of Tuerke had sided
with the police commissioner

Mohr and Nelson were the Others
| voting against Tuerke.
| Councilman Ostrander pleaded
for letting the matter alone, on the
ground that it was one that did not
concern the city council. Council
man Mohr asked that Tuerke be
permitted to stay in until the bar
committee had completed its inves
tigation, but seeing that he stood
alone on the proposition Joined
with the other seven members in
the elimination of the i'll starred
police commissioner Ostrandel
cast the one vote in favor OF

To complete the humiliation OF
Tuerke. Shaefer had Tuerke's letter
sent to the city council before he
went east. read, in which Tuerke
said that he was going on the triI

ANOTHER SCALP FOR
ENGINEER RALST0N
How Cedarberg Was Dismissed--Be
Sure to Read This.

Score another scalp for City En-.
oiaeer Ralston.
Also record one more conquest
for Exshaw cement.
A. III. Cedarberg, the brainy
young Scandinavian engineer, who
had the independence to rise and
address the city council by request
on question in which the inter
ests of the taxpayers were in
volved, has been dismissed from
service by Contractor John T. Huet-
ter. who has made his peace with
the powers at the city hall.
Cedarberg was the genius that
furnished the estimates and did the
figuring for Huetter on contracts
which he secured from the city in
the face of terrific opposition. for a
total of over 100000. Cedarberg
was fearless and on two or three
occasions in public took issue with
City Engineer Ralston in some mat
tiers at the city hall.
Ralston sent Z. F. Waggoner,
agent here for the EXshaw cement,
and a close friend of the city en-
gineer, to see Cedarberg and urge
him to desist in his fight on the
city engineer. In all there were
two of these visits from Waggoner
to Cedarberg, but the latter an
swered that if his job depended on
stultifying himself he would first
quit. He was dismissed by Con-
tractor Huetter soon thereafter,
and now the troublesome young
Scandinavian is not on hand to
point out attempts to pull off deals
injurious to the pocketbooks of the
taxpayers.
In a talk with Contractor John
Huetter he says that he let out

union there are declared to be ap-
proximitely 80 men eligible to mem

while the teamowners' union is de-
clared to contain less than score
of members who can be turned into
the teamsters' union.
Committees from the two unions,
who have been vested with full
power to act in the matter, will
meet Saturday evening in Pantages

that there are a few members OF

teamsters' organization turn over
to the teamowners' union all its

Because Hartwell Shippey, l. w.

awaiting a hearing on appeal, tes-
titled at the Gurley Flynn-Filigno

has suffered the ignominy of the
ball and chain, and when he remon-
strated against the wearing of the
irons, was placed in dark cell to
live on bread and water, minus the
solace of his pipe.
Shippey occupied a position of

testimony at the trial, which is not
yet at an end, but Immediately
upon his return to jail, E. Porter, a

Cedarberg because the latter had
gone before the city council on
Huetter's time to talk on matter
under consideration by that body.
The matter in question was the
building of the piers of the Monroe
street bridge, and Cedarberg went
before the council at the request of
members of that body. He opposed
Ralston again on that occasion.
Cedarberg has gone to Portland,
whence he had come to Spokane to
take charge of Huetter's concrete
contracts.
When the question of the stand
pipe and reservoir contracts were
under consideration at the city hall,
Huetter, although one of the heav-
lest hackers of the Pratt admins
tration in the late city election,
was a rank outsider in the way the
cards were stacked. Jim Fife was
the favorite and every conceivable
move was made to secure the res
ervcir contract for Fife. Finally
the council took a hand in the mat
ter and virtually seized the board
of works by the back of the neck
and made them award the contract
to the low bidder on the type of
reservoir ordered built. Huetter
was the low bidder, and got the
work at s129,500.
With Fife out of the reckoning it
became necessary for the city hall
to make its peace with Huetter. On
the other hand. Huetter needed the
good will of the engineers office,
and so long as he retained Cedar
berg he was on the outside. Cedar
berg was eliminated and Huetter
and the city hall are now on the
best of terms.
