Trades Council and
Business Men Ask
Better Paid Officers

The Trades and Labor Assembly
of this city aided by the business
interests of the city, secured the raise
of the salaries in the police and fire
departments.
In the fire department the salary
of the chief was fixed at $130 per
month, assistant $115, 3 captains
$105 per month, five drivers $100 per
month and firemen at $85 per month
for the first year, 800 for the second
and $95 per month subsequently.
The police ordinance fixes the sal
ary of the chief at 1924 per month,
captain $105, $95 per month for sta
tion house keeper, $50 per month for
a male night telephone operator; the
eighteen patrolmen to receive $85
per month the first year, 800 the sec
ond year and $95 per month the third
year and following. The ordinance
also carried a provision of % days
each year, vacation with pay.
Both ordinances were passed under
suspension of rules though there are
on record two ordinances now pending
and in regular order. There was but
one vote in council against suspension
of the rules and passage and it was
in the matter of the police ordinance.
The freman's ordinance was unan-
imouS.
The ordinances were offered by
members Curry and Adams. Pres.
Keller of the council asked the bus
mess men who filled the auditorium
of the mayors office, where the meet
ing was held, to express themselves
on the ordinances offered.
Messrs. w. M. Morgan, Pres. of the
Trades Assembly, John j. Carroll,
w. w. Gard, Jesse Walters and ]. c.
Krieg, expressed themselves in favor
of the ordinances. AS taxpayers of
the city, they thought the passage of
the ordinances were we'll founded in
the fact that all living expenses were
very high. They thought also that
the increase of salaries meant that
the men would be more efficient and
the service would be improved to
warrant the outlay.
Mr.. w. C. Seward, a retiring mem
Der Of the council at large, spoke a.
gainst the police salary raise or
dinance. He was rather bitter in his
remarks and was inclined to dep
recate the services of the Newark
police force.
Among the other matters brought
before city council were matters of
interest to union labor. Matters
which in time will be seriously before
the body. The employees of the SER
vice department asked for an increase
in their rate of pay, giving the rea-
sons which had been potent in the
police and fremen ordinances, the
increased cost of living. 1t came in
the form of a communication and
was referred to the finance COM
mittee.
The teamsters in the city employ
also offered request in the form of
a communication. They asked that
their pay be raised Is cents per hour.
It was referred to the service COM
mittee.
Resolutions were passed: to borrow
money for the health department, to
authorize the hiring of an assistant
city clerk to look after the serving
of special assessment notices, to i'm
prove Front and Church streets and
the repairing of Church street from
Front to Eleventh strees.
The repairing of the street is es-
timated to cost $53, 1856 and of that
sum $23,680 will fall on the street
railway.

Violation of Law Draws a Fine

C. S. Ball, candy manufacturer of
Dayton, who was prosecuted by the
deputy factory inspector on a charge
of employing a girl under 18 with
out a school exemption certificate, and
with working his women employees
more than the legal number of
hours, was fined in police court.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1917-12-08

The Leader invokes the help and
friendship of every workingman and
Union man in Newark. We want to
be your friend and want you to be

Bill Passed Here,
ENEMIES" BARRED
Boys Under 10 Cannot Join
Co|ors; New Rates Of Pay,
ENEMIES" BARRED

The first order issued by. the war
department since the army bill was
passed was received today BY Robert
Whitfield, in charge OF the recruiting
station at l04M West Main street
The order deals entirely with re-
eruiting and makes several important
changes in the regulations. The age
limit now is IS to 10, inclusive, and no
one under IS will be enlisted. Here.
toiore, boys between 10 and 10 could
enlist with the consent Of their pa
rents.
Osiy "Aiisn Enemies" Barred.
One OF the most important changes
deals with aliens. Under former resu-'
lstions no alien could enlist unless he
had his first citizenship papers, aed he
was required to have working
knowledge of the English language.
Now any alien who 10 not 4 subject
OF 4 Country At war with the United
States may enlist, and he Is required
only to be able to speak and under
stand English. No citifenship papers
are necessary, and il does not matter
whether ne can read or write, The
oath OF enlptment is changed from
seven yearAtour years in the army
and three years in the reserve-to the
duration OF the war.
