Telephone Employees Wages Increase

Telephone Employees Wages Increase
I. M. Sorlie, local manager of the
N. W. Telephone Co., gives the fol-
lowing information about wage in
creases: -
"a general wage increase for its
employees has been announced by the
N. W. Tel. Co. according to a tele-
gram received by the local office from
w. B. T. Belt, vice president and gen
eral manager of the company. The
increase will be effective May LIST.
Mr.. Belt has been in the East in con-
ference with the United States Wire
Control Board and the telegram was
received from him after the post
master general had approved the in
crease. The authorized wage in
crease will amount to more than
100000 per year for the Northwest
ern Telephone Company employees.
The Offices of the n. W. Tel. Co. have
almost continually tried to obtain
approval from the government oper-
ating board for increased wages for
their employees but they have not
been able to do so because the rev.

enue from the operation of the COM
pany at the exchange rates has not
been adequate to permit the added
expenses. Approval for the increased
wages has come at this time, officers
of the N. w. Tel. Co. believe, be-
cause the right of the postmaster
general to decide what telephone
rates shall be, is soon to be decided
by the U. S. Supreme Court. The
two cases involving this question
have been set for hearing May 9Th.

Borden Powell Reads Interesting
Paper in Modern History
Class

How the word Boshevism origin
ated and what it means was fully
explained by Borden Powell in a pap
er before the Modern History class
of the High School last week. The
paper follows:
"Bolshevism is a purely Russian
word and means majority just as
"Maximalist," term applied to the
radical section of the socialist party
in European countries, means major
ity.
"Bolshevism is a political system
of the worst type and stands for the
worst things in human life, if the
reports that come daily from Russia
are true. It's aim is to Cypress the

that the stone cutting ordinance was
invalid and that John Gill & Sons were
not the lowest bidder, as was contended
in the Taxpayers suit. The award to
the Fuller concern was confirmed.
Rising costs resulting from the war
proved another check. On the ground
that rapidly mounting costs, not con-
templated when the contract was agreed
to, would entail heavy loss, the Fuller
Company refused to proceed and asked
that their contract be nullified.
This Mayor Smith agreed to, under
authority conferred BY Councils.
Gill & Sons Get Contract
Then the task swung to Gill & Sons.
The new contractors dug the basement
and began the foundation work. The
agreement was that the building should
be completed in 900 working days.
The Gill concern was paid $780,
630.S5 for the foundation work, but
entered claim for higher compensa-
tion. BY agreement between Mr.. Trum-
bauer and the contractors the figure
was revised upward to S156, 6,O3G. %.
Gill & Sons also asked to be relieved
of the contract.

! LIBRARY PROBLEM
New Administration Will Have
Job of Building Parkway
Edifice Here
CONTRACT IS CANCELLED

Erection Of free library building on
the Parkway now looms up as one of
the potential achievements Of the next
city administration.
The net result Of twenty-five years
Of agitation, planning and legislation is
n foundation basement in the area
bounded by Nineteenth, Twentieth, Vine
and Wood streets and the Parkway.
More than SO, ,O00, 900 is available for
the completion of what is destined to be
the central structure of this city's free
plibrary system.
Clogged by war delays and litigation,
the latest step in the movement is
Mayor Smiths recommendation for the
annulment of the construction con-
tract held by John Gill & Sons, of
Cleveland.
If approved by Councils, abrogation
of the contract will clear the way for a
reimbursement of bids, new contract
award and the start of actual construc-
tion work.
Movement Agitated Ten Years :.
For ten years prior to the advent Of
the Reyburn administration, in 1907,
the project for a central free library
building was agitated in this city.
The first official action toward that
end was on July 5, 1911, when 81,
10000 was appropriated for main IL
brary building on the Parkway.
Horace Trumbauer, the architect, was
commissioned to draw the plans, which
were accepted by the art jury.
A

administration. On January 70. 1915:
the $40 900 item toward completion of
the building was included in the $ll,-

The next and latest appropriation was
on July 10. 1916. when an item OF
So, 400, 900 for the building was inserted
in the $40, ,450, 900 loan.
Less than a year later. i'm April,
1917, bids were received for construc-
ton of the library. II In the specifica-
tions the bidders were required to state
what credit would be given the city
should the local stonecutting ordinance
/, be held in abeyancet
This ordinance, later held invalid by
the State Supreme Court, required the
cutting, in this city's limits, of all stone
required for the construction of public
buildings. =,
The contract was awarded to George
A. Fuller & Co., although the Fuller
bid was higher than bid made by
John Gill & Sons. The Fuller CON
Germ, however, made allowances based
on suspension Of the stone cutting
ordinance.

The first gun 10 be fired in the Wisconsin campaign was in Fond du Lac county early in the year, when schoolhouse meetings were caheo by the county agent. At these meetIhss some of the leading breeders agreed to exchange pure-bred bulls for scrubs With- out additional cost, providing the new owners would use the pure breds for two years.

After-War Problems

William C. Cornwell, in Leslie's.
 Our government has prepared only one after-war programme@Secreta Lane's plan to employ returning sol- diers in reclamation of the 300, 900, 900 acres of arid land. This is wise and practical undertaking.
 France has already appropriated $4OO, ,000, 900 for peace work-railways, ports, bridges and general improve ments. So has Italy in proportion. England will follow. The United States should not be behind. Its proportion, compared with resources, would fur nish a very large sum as powerful help to industry and labor, through the emergency period of transition.
 In the last six months the resources of the federal reserve system have been called upon to vast extent. Bills dis- counted increased from $1,000, ,000. .000 to $2250 900, ,000-a rate of increase which called for caution everywhere With the war over, the rapid rate of government expenditures will gradually decline. The strength of the banking system is ample to care for the exi- gencies of transition.
 On the whole, it looks as though a period of slowing down must be passed through, which will be gradual, and at no time reach extreme depression It is encouraging to note that thus far although more than a month has passed since the armitsice. there has been nc sign of disturbance or apprehension a! to the future, and transition operation! have worked without shock.
