And he wouldn't bulge. The snap.
shot was pulled off with Speaker
leaning against the wall Of hotel

over his eyes. He was reading a
letter and he was industriously puf
fling away at the short stub of a ci
gar Little he cared whether he
showed as real star when the
photographs gained circulation.
A great deal different is this des.
cription from the same thing which
might be written Of other stars. Tie
common belief among stars Of the
base ball field, as in other pursuits,
is that they must be petted and

be practically coaxed to play base

game is a days work, and he does
it-far better than most of his rival

 Alderman Richards objected to ty- ing the hands of the boards by pass ing any resolution on the matter. He believed the heads of the depart ment are competent to handle the situation and believed the adoption of the resolution would constitute a reflection on the boards.
 This is a tempest in tea pot, said Alderman Curtis. 'I supported the resolution in the council because Ot sentiment. Supply and demand will regulate labor and it's cost. The adoption of a resolution will have no effect. It is not necessary to tic the hands of the boards If we pass this, i+ will simply be an expression of our opinion that $3 per day is little enough for any workingman.'
 Are we willing to pay some of tEese laborers the same price we pay the police and firem en ?" inquired Alderman Richards.
 "The police and firemen are en- plOyed 365 days Tn the year ana the laborers work only between 200 and
 250 days in the year; that is not a proper comparison" replied Alder man Curtis.
 Some of these men can go into munition factories and get double what they are getting noW," com- mented Alderman Richards. If they could, they would go to- morrow" Alderman Curtis answered.

 The matter was loked up in the records but as it would be a violation of a deep military secret it is not per mitted to publish the name of the loser of the bet.
 The adoption of this resolution would tie the hands of the boards ' insisted Alderman Richards. "Wouldn't it be a god thing some times if their hands were tied?" re- torted Alderman Paonessa.

Minimum wages of $3 per day for cay laborers employed by all city de- rartmentS was discussed at a meet ing of a special committee of the common council last evening and it was voted to present a resolution to the council that all departm pay capable, able-bodied men employed as day labOrerS not less than $3 per day for the present fiscal year." Those in attendance were Alderman A. M laOnessa, father of the project; AL derman O. F. Curtis, Alderman H. ?. Richards, Councilman F. T. McDon- pugh and Councilman Reginald Tow CTS. City Engineer William H. Hall, representing the board of public works. and Chairman w. B. Rossberg of the water department were in at tendance.
 Engineer Hall, early in the meet ing, said the members of the board of public works would like a hearing. He enumerated the day laborers in the street department and their wages as follows:
 Street cleaners, get $2.70; get S250; 1 gets $2.25.
 Tour working on old macadam re- ceive S25O and six on new macadam receive $2.70. Members of the grad ing gang numbering 21, receive $2.7O each.
 Tn the sewer department, 31 men employed on new sewer construction receive $3 each. Tn the sewer main tenance branch three get $3, three get s2S5 and two are employed by the week.
 A new summer schedule has been drawn up granting increases to all the men during June, July and Aug ust The increases are as follows: s2.25 to $2.43: S2.50 to $2.70; $2.7O 70 S2.92; $2.85 to $3.07; $3 to $324. Mir. Hall expressed the opinion that it might be necessary to pay even high or wag because of the situation of The labor market. In repl yto a Ques- lion by Alderman Curtis, MT Hall said some of the men receiving $2.50 a day are not physically capable of performing heavy labor.
 Water Department Wages.
 Chairman Rossberg said the water department employed 12 day labor CTS. Two are paid $4; two $3.50; TWO s325, one S3, five $2.70.

 Alderman Curtis did not believe the adoption of a resolution would have any effect. Different orders have been passed by the council and the boards haven't paid any damn at tention to them,' he said.
