FIRE B0ARO' S HIGH

Committee Cuts Out $6sl,00 Ap-
preparation Asked for Installing
System, Allowing Only $1,000
For Preliminary Preparation.
Increases in Pay for Firemen GO
Through Substantially as Submit
ted By Boaro.

The common council committee on
hre protection chopped a total OF
VIII ,721.S9 from the fire commits
sion's budget Of $1,000, 1928, Friday
morning. One cut alone amounted TO
S6Sl ,46o.5O, this representing all but
$o,OOO or the amount asked by the
commission for the purpose of in.
stalling a high pressure system. The
committee allowed $4,000 for plans
and specifications and held out the
hope that the commission would be
allowed enough next year to make q
start on the system
The fire commissioners, OF course,
did not go before the committee with
any idea that the amount asked would
be allowed this year Commissioner
Moore estimated that, with 100000,
a pipe line could be built under
Woodward-ave., as a nucleus for
system. After thorough discussion,
however, 1t was the unanimous opin-
Ion OF the committee that the depart.
ment should first have its plans pre-
pared so as to have something
definite to work on.
Following the example of the COM
mittees on ways and means and
claims and accounts, in allowing in
creases In the pay of the teachers
and policemen, the committee on fire
protection voted to increase the fire.
mems wages, substantially as recon.
mended by the fire commissioners
The 26 first-class pipemen, as the
men in the automobile companies are
designated, and the 260 second-class
pipemen, laddermen and drivers were
all placed on the same basis and all
will receive $1,100 per year IL the
committees figures are allowed to
stand This Is an increase of $40
per year for the first-class men and
800 per year for the second class.
Fire Commissioner Moore explained
that the department had found 1t
necessary to make so many transfers
from the auto companies to the regu-
lar companies and vice-versa that 1t
was impracticable to maintain two
schedules OF wages for these men.
After July 1, the two classes will be
consolidated and all the full-fedged
firemen, whether In the auto service
or In the regulation fire companies,
will be known as "first-class" men.
The department asked that the bat
talon chiefs be raised from $500 TO
$4,000, but the committee allowed
only 500 increase per man. The 5l
captains were raised from $1,000 to
81 400; 80 engineers from $1,000 to
81 300 and 53 lieutenants from 81 100

LANSING. Mich, March 24.--It is
likely that Mrs. Frank p. Glazier will
start postcard canvass to determine
the sentiment OF the people regarding
the parole of her husband, the fallen
Chelsea banker and state treasurer,
following her interview with Gov. Os-
born yesterday.
She talked with the governor for
two hours. She said her husband had
no intention of committing crime
and that he has paid the penalty for
his error Gov. Osborn told her he
would not be swayed by political In
fiuence or sympathy; IL she could con-
vince him that the majority OF the
people wanted II, he would belease
him and allow him TO start anew.
1t was pointed out to the governor
that Glaciers family is in want and
other pathetic features OF the case
we're brought to his attention. but he
said he would be guided entirely by
public sentiment.

A GOOD INVESTMENT.
Union Dues Bring Rich Returns to the
Investors.

The wonderful earning power of
money paid into labor unions as dues
for membership is forcibly illustrated
by a case in Cumberland. Md. The
bakers of that city organized union
in 1902 Prior to that time they worked
fifteen hours day and received wages
ranging from s. to 81 a week. Soon
after they organized they demanded a
ten hour workday and got it, Since
then, through the force Of their union
they have reduced their working hours
to nine a day, secured four holidays
year. with pay. and raised their wages
to an average of s22S per day. This
is $25GG6 a year more than they got
before they organized.
In ten years the dues paid into the
union at the rate of 50 year per men,
Der will amount to $50. 1t will have
earned for each member the sum Of
$2,5G6GO, enough to buy a comfort
able home. In addition it will have
secured for each member 1850 hours
Of freedom from toi-two years. six
months and seven days-fOr rest. rec
reatlon. physical and mental develop
ment and pleasure in improving and
identifying the home.
On an investment of 50 a year each
member OF the union will have re
ceived in cash interest 2,S51 per cent
and the 1880 hours of leisure in ad-
dition. The conditions have also
changed materially for the workmen.
Before they organized their union the
bakers of Cumberland had only nine
hours a day for themselves and gave
their employers fifteen. Now they have
fifteen hours for themselves, while the
employers get nine. This is the way
organized labor works, and it will ac-
complish more and greater wonders as
soon as all the workmen are taught the
value Of organization and combined eff

The Art of Printino

The ability of a labor union to i'm.
prove TIE quality of the work done by
its members is shown in the printing
turned out by the graduates of the
school Of instruction of the Interna-
tional Typographical union. The in.
struction was first offered in 1907
Since then nearly 5000 printers. of all
ages, have taken the course. Not only
have the wages of these students been
voluntarily increased by their employ
ers. but the art of printing has been
lifted in the printers estimation from
a mere trade to its proper place as a
noble art.
