STREET CAR union AND CIVIL SERVICE NOT MATES

What will be the of the union employees of the street
railway lines if the road purchased by the city under the plan
now proposed?
Every time any of the local labor leaders, with the
ton of few lined with the city administration reads
the second paragraph of Section 81 of the proposed charter
amendment he becomes decidedly agtated Why?
Because that paragraph after providing that the board of
street railway commissioners shall represent the city fulfill
the contract and shall the lines such
for them out of earnings "And full
questions of operation and and and sal
and rates of fare hereby vested in the board of street
railway commissioners Within reasonable time after the
QUESTION of street railway system the board shall establish
system of civil service for the selection and retention of it's
employees"
That wording full power the blow freedom and
liberty and trades unonsm according to the figuring of the la

has been connected with gigantic manufacturing institution
the open shop principle and John Dodge the head of
another huge manufacturing institution the shop

said board hereby authorized and directed abate any

to pay half the expense Of such arbitration

the present plan would have read would declare that the
railway board shall take into its hands the power and
authority in dealing with help but that in dispute
must arbtrate.
One point they not saying much about The "ful

out of the almost inevitable council resolutions directing

The present management of the lines has "fu power"

that city commissioners managing the they would

just the d. u r. when the men insist on itand
not before.
Most of the talk the u power clause looks pretty
thnooks in fact though it might be going because it
sounds better than equal amount objection directed against
the civil service clause.
Just how labor union could live under civil service is
