FINDS BUILDING GRAFT
Boston Financial Commission Init
mates Officials Have Been Bribed

Boston, Nov. 25.-In the most sem
sational report which the present
finance commission has ever submit
ted to the mayor and city council,
which will be given out for publica-
ton today, the commission rakes the
city's building department fore and
aft
The report declares some of the
stories of graft which have been cir
culated have proven well grounded =,
and there are strong seasons for be-
l!eving that other stories are true.
The commission broadly intimates
1t is convinced that officials of the de-
partment have been bribed, but say it
is difficult to get evidence Of such a
thing.
1t is believed the report will cause
a big shake-up in the building de-
partment.

BIG CITIES CHANGE
THEIR SALOON LAWS
Not Pleasing to the BibuIousIy
Inclined In England

London, Nov. 25.-The big cities
in England are making drastic amend
ments to the saloon laws.
Recently Liverpool altered the clos
fns hours for drinking bars from II p.
m. to $50 p. M. and although the
brewers and the bibulous made great
hubbub the reform was persisted in
with salutary effects on intoxication.
Birmingham is now following suit,
fixing the opening hour for saloons at
$3.50 a. m. instead of 6, and the clos
ing hour at 10 p. m. instead of IL.
Drinking among women being COM
mon in Birmingham, it was proposed
that nobody under 16 years and no
woman of any age shall be served
with drink before noon.

tiation which investigated the ques-
ton at issue.
1t grants certain increased compen-
sation and improved and uniform
rules of service requested by the en-
gineers, but holds that a general in
crease of wages On all roads is not
warranted upon the basis of the evil
dence presented.
The board found that on some roads
and for certain classes of service the
compensation was too small and
therefore introduced into the award
the principle of a minimum wage fol
the entire district. The award, which
dates back to May 1 last and viii
stand for one year, settles the mos
important American labor dispute
submitted to arbitration since the an
thracite coal strike in 1902.
