Fifteen hundred policemen voted
to demand salary of $4,000 q year.
At present first class patrolman
gets only $500. It was agreed to
put the matter up to the city coun-
Gil first. and, II necessary carry 1t to

The demand was framed at a meet.
ing of the Chicago Patrolmen's as.
sociation in Colonial hall. The as
ISOLATION includes about nine.tenths
of the entire city police force.
Michael O'Connor, president of the
association, had prepared statistics
on the cost of living on which to base
the plea. A straw ballot showed the
average policeman's family includes
seven members. Many present had
as many as ten children, but IL was
decided these belong in hero class

chief engineer, will remain in that
post. There will be few II any
changes in any Of the technical de.
partments.'
There has been repeated talk and
gossip that between 1000 and 5000

has been that at least 1000 places are
now "on the pie counter"

outside 800 positions, all of which are
clerical or connected with the dis
