! JANlToRS', UNION ASKS FORFEIT
OF AUTOMATIC ORDINANCE
Another organization has Joined
the ranks of those which believe that
thought Of forfeiture should not pre-
vent the city from exercising its
rights in taking over the franchise of
the automatic telephone system.
Chicago Flat Janitors' union, 230
N. Clark st., has unanimously adopt
ed the following resolution, which is
being distributed in printed form to
aldermen:
Whereas, Forfeiture. ordinances
relative to the Automatic telephone
system are now in the committee on
gas, oil and electric light, and said
committee has notified council that
these ordinances will be reported on
to the council before adjournment for
the summer, and
Whereas, The forfeiture clause in
a franchise is the city's greatest pro-
lection from abuse by public service
corporations. Failure to enforce these
clauses in the Automatic telephone
ordinances renders the forfeiture
clauses in similar franchises equally
useless; and
Whereas, n this fight the issues
are vital, the interest involved valu-
able and the rights sacred; THEREFORE
be it
Resolved, That we, the members
of the Chicago Flat Janitor's union,
Local No. 1882 A. F. of L., in regu-

against these rights being trespassed;

PAINTERS STRIKE SETTLED
Another victory for labor. This
time for the painters.
By a substantial majority Painters
District Council has voted to accept
the compromise offer of the Painters
and Decorators club. The vote was
completed last night. This ends the
painters strike, which has been
standing since April.
The painters struck against accept
ing the Simon O'Donnen uniform
agreement. They won their case.
The objectional features of the agree
ment have been eliminated and be-
sides the painters are to get an in
crease of from 20 to 1914 cents an
hour for the last of the three years
of the agreement. Another big point
for them is that the agreement is to
expire on April 1, instead of May 81. |
