WRIGHT HINTS
At SUING
THE CITY

absurd, unfair and hostile" is
the way George p. Wright charac-
terises the spirit and character of
the statement made by Arvid
Rydstrom of the balance due him
on the Green river contract in a
letter to the council setting forth
his position and offering following
the supreme court decision in the
McHugh case to arbitrate all diff
fereDces with the city in case an
agreement cannot be reached.
This, Wright feels, is doubtful
in view Of the invisible govern
ment" back of Lawson.
Wright points out that while
Lawson and .Rydstrom have taken
the position that all council resolu.
tions passed after the contract was
signed calculated to be in his favor
have been disregarded, the one
passed by the council in the favor
of the city which took from him
$751; for excavation with ma
chine instead of paying the con-
tract price, was duly approved and
considered as in force and binding.
In other words wherever any coun-
Gil resolution favored the contrac-
tor Rydstrom and Lawson repu-
dated it and wherever it favored
the city they held 1t was legal.
Wright figures the city owes
him about $4,000 extra on ex-
cavation alone.
II the city refuses to arbitrate
he says in his letter he will bring
suit.

Civic Center Welfare Club Is
Name Of New Revolutionary
Political Organization.

Civic Center Welfare Club!" This
is the name Of Duluth's latest reform
political organization. The name
sounds good. II the principles OF the
organization are as lofty as the name
aims to be there Is room for such In
Duluth and St. Louis county. -
One of the members OF the new
club who was interviewed by : the

charge: that it is reform club. 1T
is nothing of the kind" he says. 'Ic
is not. a. reform club: it is a revolu-
the court house inside out, or up side
down, or any other way to get the old
gang out of the big building on
Fifth avenue" =
The Give Center Welfare club held
a we'll attended meeting last Tues
day. and plans were laid for making
an effective campaign against certain
old time public servants who year
after year continue ito draw their
monthly stipends from the county
treasury from the time when the
memory Of man runneth not to the
contrary" i
The club is said to have the goods
on a heap OF extravaganza in the
care and management of the court
house. AS one member put it: "They
have so many janitors up there that
1t requires a corporal. in each squad
to keep them from crowding one an
other" The claim was also made
and we cant say anything about it's
reliability just yet--that the court
house fuel bill amounts to $4,000 a.
year., an enormous sum.
The club is also considering prob
able candidates for county offices.
These will be chosen irrespective Of
their former political affiliations.
There will be no party labels OH can
dfdates for county offices at the next
election: and an effort will be made

men, must be, according to club
members, free from alliance. with the
