Superior Men Assert Salaries
Inadequate to Support
Families.

Salary increases of $25 a month to
meet the increased cost of living were
asked by members of the Superior
fire department Tuesday morning.
The request was presented at meet
ing of the city commission by COM
mittee of fire department drivers IN
Guiding Emil Fonaas, Edward Nelson
and w. E. Doherty.
Representing the entire depart
ment, the committee placed the sit
uation squarely before the council,
and intimated that unless some relief
could be obtained many of the fire.
men would be compelled to quit the
department and go to work at one
Of the shipyards or other industries
where higher wages are now prevail
ing. The committee stated that num-
bers of the men are unable to sup
port their families in reasonable COM
fort on their present incomes.
The commissioners informed the
committee that the salaries are fixed
for the year at the April meeting,
and that it would be impossible to
change the schedule for another two
months. They promised, however,
that they would consider the matter
carefully and would bring it up for
action in April.

After hearing the report Of the dele

adopted protesting against the passage

Favor Straight Eight Hours.
A decided stand was taken against
the practice of the job printers in sew
eral local shops of working a little
overtime for five days week to make
up for Saturday half holiday. . It
was claimed to, be violation of the
spirit of the eight-hour law, and,
after an exciting speech by President
Towne, it was ordered that such prac-
tice must hereafter be discontinued.
However this does not interfere with
working one hour longer for five days
week to make up, for the heatless
Mondays.
A donation of IS was made towards
the fund for the maintenance of the
locked out street car employees of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company.
