bURDSALL ASKS
WAGES
ON PUBLIC JOBS
Councilman Criticises Prac-
tice of Letting Contracts
for improvements Based
on Is Cent Labor.

A demand that laborers in this city
when employed upon public improve
ment works receive the Richmond
standard of wages for common labor,
20 cents an hour, was made last night
by Councilman John Burdsall.
Richmond contractors pay their
men 20 cents an hour, which is only
living wage, but how can they be
expected to compete with out-of-town
contractors who are basing their bids
on a Is cent an hour wage for labor
ers they employ?" demanded Burd-
sail.
Councilman Russell Immediately in
jected himself into a discussion by de-
claring that some. plan should at once
be devised which would require all
contractors doing work for the city to
pay their employees at least 20 cents
and hour. "A man, not even If he Is
single, can not live on Is, cents an
hour. If letting contracts to such
contractors does insure lower taxes, l
want to state right now that I for one
don't want to save money by paying
less taxes, so long as the reduction is
obtained in such manner" indignant
ly exclaimed Mr.. Russell.
Clerk Bescher pointedly remarked
that the reduction of wages for labor
ers has not been occasioned because
public improvements are being bid off
cheaper than formerly. "a few years
ago paving contracts were being let
as low at $3.50 a square yard the
clerk remarked. This year the lowest
paving bid received was $1.82 a square
yard"
The question was referred to the
committee on. streets and alleys. City
Attorney Bond said he though: some
plan of regulating wages for laborers
on public improvement jobs could be
devised.
