Preferred That Police Jury
First Advertise for Bids
by Other Contractors
A CHANCE FOR
THEM TO UNDERBID
Will Make Deliveries To
Covington and Madison
vile In a Few Days.:

AS is general understood, the
police jury has a contract OF $3.50
rer cubic yard for shells to be deliy-
cred by the Jahncke Shipbulldins &
Company, at any part Of the four
wards where the new road building
is to be constructed. While this is
apparently a bargain at this time, The
Jahncke Shipbuilding Company has
preferred that the police jury ad-
vertise for bids, which would give an
opportunity for other contractors, II
they so desire to under-bid.
However" as Mr.. Jahncke states
in his letter to the police jury OF
december 18th, this has not pre-
vented ou rworking on this road, be-
calse We would have done SO, re-
garoless of reme KS, as it is so vital
~ Imperative that Nc get men ia

We would have worked on '..e
road sooner, but due t.. the fact chat
the Government has lad our equip
ment pretty we'll tied up and ha@ Us
in shape that we have been unable
tc make delivery of shells, not only
tn this road, but other materia: in
the town of Madisonville to put their
road in good shape. We believe,
however, that conditions now look
much better than they have for some
time and it is only going to be a few
days before we will be able to make
deliveries to Madisonville and Gov
ington on this proposed road be-
tween Madisonville and Vaudeville" ="
Additional bids have also been ad-
vertfsed for gravel, and experiments
are being made by the State Highway
Department for the purpose of top
ping shell surface roads with gravel
coat Of four to six inches. Expert
ments recently made by the Highway
Department show that this kind OF
paving makes an exceedingly good
road.

Moved by Nichols and seconded by
Hoage that the next two weeks be set
aside for special drive to place union
label brooms in every store and all
delegates be instructed to carry on
the campaign in their own local
unions. Motion carried.
Delegate Hoage called attention to
bogus union label which has made
its appearance in Denver under the
title of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers. This organization is a
secession movement from the Garment
Workers international Union and is
not affiliated with the A. f. of l..
At this time Delegate Oplinger
stated that President Torpey had ac-
cepted job in Boulder and had re
quested him to notify the league of
his resignation as president. Moved
and seconded that President Torpey's
resignation be accepted. Motion car
ried.

open for the office of president. Dele
gate Carl R. Hoage being the only

GAS-MASKS NOT PERMITTED.

There can be no longer a doubt that
Germany ardently desires peace-at
least with Russia. The 'Fatherland"
is willing to go to extreme lengths ac-
cording to a dispatch from Stockholm.
The German general staff has issued
instructions to German representatives
at the parley, and included in such in
structions is the following paragraph:
at may happen that at the first
meeting the Russian delegates will at
tempt to kiss the negotiators. They
must be prepared for that, and if the
commander-in-c chief, Ensign Krylenko,
rushes toward them with open arms,
they must, in turn, press him to their
hearts. The Fatherland demands this
sacrifice of the negotiators."
We presume, that it would be con-
sidered a displomatic blunder to wear
gas-masks while going thru the oscu-
atory ceremony-New York Tele-
