personae.
Mr.. Randolph had been held for trial
in the Unitcd States court by Commits
sioncr Charles Baldwin for an assault
made upon Mr.. Hull March 3 in the
Federal bUi'ding. Tho fact that both
Hull and Randolph were employees of
thc United States and that the assault
occurred in government building, gave
the United States court jurisdiction Of
the case.
When Mr.. Randolph appeared in court
Yesterday, nc was accompanied by his
Judge Marshall that Mr.. Randolph
would enter a plea of guilty, but that
he desired. through his counsel, to make
a statement to the court in extenuation.

.WIREMEN WISH
NEW AGREEMENT
Negotiations Pending for Change
in Terms Decided Upon
a Year Ago.

A new scale of wages and agreement
respecting working conditions are under
consideration by the Inside Wiremen S
union and the electrical companies OF
Salt Lake. The agreement entered into
year ago VIII expire April | and the
negotiations intended to bring about a
new agreement are now pending.
The men ask an increase in wages OF
30 cents a day, the advance being from
81 30, the present rate, TO s. a day. II
is understood that the employing com
panies have agreed to the increase. The
negotiations now are on the working
conditions.
Il. A. Wilcox, business agent OF the
Inside Wiremcn. said last night that he
was confident that an adjustment OF the
points still unsettled would be reached
Negotiations are still going on" salo
Mr.. Wilcox. "and we hope TO arrive at
an agreement by the time our present
agreement expires. We look for no
trouble and any suggestion that n strike
is probable Is altogether premature.
There are still some points OF difference
between our proposed working conditions
and those the employing companies de-
sire 10 put into effect but ! think we
can get around those difficulties and arr
rive at an agreement without resort to
radical measures

URGES SIGNATURE OF
IMPROVEMENT BILL
Commissioner Morris Gives
Governor Spry Eight Rea-
sons for Approval.

The fate of senate bill No -. known
as the public Improvement bill is still
IN the balance. Passed by the senate
unanimously and by the house by ar
overwhelming vote, the measure has be-
come the subject of bitter controvers,
before Gov. william Spry.
Advocates and opponents OF the bill
have petitioned the governor FOR hear
ings before he acts and the chief execu-
tive. II is understood. is far from certain
as to what attitude he will assume.
Eight reasons why the governor should
sign the bill were presented TO him yes
terday in letter from Richard p. Nor
ris. commissioner of streets and public
improvements. Mayor Samuel C Park
club called on the governor yesterday.
but upon learning that the opponents a.
the bill had asked FOR an audience rs
Well. II was decided TO be the better part
OF wisdom to appear before the governor
after ne has heard the enemies OF the
measure. Later the mayor and the Com
mercial club delegation met In the may
or's Office to marshal their forces.
Commissioner Morris's eight reasons
follow:
Flrst-Under the old system It is
impossible for public improvements
10 keep pace with the growth and
needs OF the city.
Second-We have petitions on file
asking FOR paving OF 1914 miles OF
streets. many of the petitioners de-
claring their willingness TO pave
intersections in order to get the work
done
Third-Under the old law II re-
quired two-thirds OF the frontage TO
defeat improv ements petitioned for.
while 81 per cent may decide either
way under the new law.
Fourth-The majority OF the city
commission favors the bill as IL passed
the legislature. No member of the
commission is opposed 10 IT.
Fifth-My experience In the street
department has demonstrated that
the plan proposed Is the only one by
which necessary work OF paving can
be carried on.
SiXth-The fact that the bill passed
the senate unanimously and the
house by vote OF 80 to II indicates
the sentiment OF the people. since all
sides We're accorded ample hearings.
Seventh-It Will be an advantage
to small towns where paving is de-
sired by citizens on certain streets.
and no general fund exists to pave
intersections.
Eighth-While at present warrants
run for ive years. under the proposed
plan they will run for ten years. thus
reducing the slight burden apparently
caused by paving the intersections.
