The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-03-26

sooner or later said a fireman OPP
ponent of the two platoon system at
a business mems meeting. He tried
to use this as an argument against
the double platoon, not explaining
why union firemen would be more
likely to strike under the new sys-
tenn than under the present one.
This allegation has reused the ire
of the Firemen's assn. ct is absurd
to think such a thing possible" says
the Firemen's assn in an official
statement. "The firemen's union is
associated with the Chicago Fed. of
Labor by contract that prevents any
labor trouble.
''Firemen are now sworn under
oath to protect life and property and
should they fail, individually or col
lectVely, the consequences would be
dire. Firemen have been affiliated
with the A F. of L. for eight years,
therefore the trouble of 1871 cannot
be laid against the union"
The Firemen's assn also declares
that the two platoon. system will
mean far more efficient department
without the addition of another man
or the expenditure of an additional
dollar
It cites that in all double platoon
cities the system has worked out
successfully.
Messages from officials in Kansas
City and Omaha say that each city
was saved from blazes that threat
ened destruction of the business dis
trict by having two trained depart
ments on the job.
It has been said by the fire mar
shall that installation of the two pla-
tOOn system would mean the addition
of 425 men to the present strength,
an added yearly expense of $414,-
045.5O.
This is not necessary, in the opin-
ion of union firemen, but they point
Fbo% REig yTyo77II bo IOpo - mould

every. second of the day. At present
there are most often not this many
men on duty, because the offs can
not be so arranged.
Even if this be true" says the
Firemen's assn, remember that at
present Chicago firemen are covering
twice the area of the city of New
ork with one-third as many men and
are attending far greater number
of fires. In point of number of men
and quantity of equipment, Chicago
has proportionately the weakest of all
big city departments. In fighting
ability and amount of work they
stand first.
Assuming that the fire marshal is
correct in saying the new system
would need 425 more men, the de-
partment should have the men right
now. Even then it would not have
proportionately as many men as 9TH
er big cities Anyway, the eXpendi-
ture of $414,O0O more a year would
be a good investment to get the best
and most efficient fer fighting force
that can be had"
The firemen of the association re-
sent the slur cast by Chief Seyfer-
Itch, who is reported to have said that
it's members are mentally, morally
and physically weaker than those of
the Helmet club, who are opposing
the new system.
eff this be true, then it is only a
miracle that has saved Chicago from
burning to the ground" says a state
ment of the association, "for always
at least two-thirds of the department
have been members of this associa-
ton. The Helmet club has but 247
members, about half of those who are
not members of our association"
