Still ON STRIKE
CONTRACTORS AGREE TO PAY
MEN BY LINEAR FOOT, BUT
THIS FAILS TO TEMPT

The strike of the sewer workers
is still in progress and no new men
were put at work in their places to-
day. Last night McGovern and Ryan,
the contractors, agreed to pay the
workmen by the foot instead of by
the day. It was agreed that ten cents
per linear foot be paid each man. 1t
was thought that this action would
bring the strike to an end and that
the men would return to work this
morning. However, when time to be-
gin moving dirt was reached not a
man seized pick or shovel, although a
gang of men was standing about the
ditch.
McGovern and Ryan assert their
willingness to pay good wages for
good work They would rather EN-.
ploy local labor if it is obtainable
but may be compelled to send to Den
yer and Pueblo for men. This after
noon the strike seemed no nearer set
tlement than it was this morning
The contractors say they will obtain
all the labor they need and will car
ry on the construction of the sewer
as though the strike had not occur
