These two men were murdered by

What's the matter? Is newspaper

Are the trust newspapers afraid
the people will learn the truth about
their employment of gunner and

Does this explain why some news

Does it explain why the votes cast

Much of that newspaper talk about
buying early to help the poor, tired

benefit of the employers, and not for
the benefit of the clerks.
1t the newspapers really wanted to
help the poor, tired" clerks they
would advocate paying them a living

concerned declared the mayor, It
believe that it is a good move. The
city, to my mind, could do nothing
better than to make this purchase.
We can get it cheap now. and even
if it were decided later to locate the
market elsewhere, the property would
come in very nice for playground
location. or. in fact, anything else
for which the city might want to
use it.
Il want to be understood in this
matter. / do not want to veto this
resolution, and still I want a public
expression before signing IL. have
no fault to find with your action: in
fact, l personally believe that it is a
move in the right direction"

plan, and declared that they had no
intention of railreading the propo-
sition. The procedure of the Council
on Monday will be merely to recall
the resolution, so that the mayor will

another After the hearing. If the
