WORK TO STOP ON
?. WEST SIDE BRIDGE
CONTRACTOR REFUSES DEMANDS
OF PILEDRIVERS NOW
ON STRIKE

Work on the $157 900 bridge on
West Fourth street will be abandoned
the last of this week unless the pile
drivers who went on a strike last
week return to work on the old wage
scale. This announcement was made
by Charles G. Huber of the Union
Bridge company of Portland, who has
the contract
The piledrivers went on a strike
last week. They were receiving the
same wage as the carpenters, $3.50 a
day, and struck for the new district
scale of SS which they say became
effective October 1st. This increase
has been refused by the contractors.
Work cannot be continued without
the aid of the piledrivers, so Mr..
Huber states, and since the COM
pany's contract does not call for the
completion of the bridge until Sep
tember l next year, the demands of
the piledrivers will not be granted.
The piledrivers are members OF a
crew brought to the city by Huber
for this work and belong to the struc-
tural ironworkers' union of Tacoma.
They went on strike last Friday but
such construction as could be han
died by other employees has been con-
tinued.

AUTO STAGES MAY
SOON Be LICENSED
CHISES ON TACOMA AND
SHELTON LINES.

Automobile stages operating out
of Olympia will be licensed and oper-
ated under franchises specifying the
point where they may load and un-
load passengers, under ordinances
presented to the council at it's reg
ular meeting Tuesday evening. and
referred to the franchise committee
for consideration.
An effort was made to suspend
the rules and rush the ordinance
through, but several councilmen OBJ
jected to taking hasty action. The
new system of dealing with the
stages is proposed by the owners of
the lines and was to have become
effective November /. Now it will
be postponed a month
One of the ordinances provides for
the licensing of machines on the
Olympia-Tacoma run, accompanied
by one grantinga a franchise and stip
ulating the fares to be charged and
the schedule on which the stages
are to be operated. A similar set of
ordinances applies to the Olympia
Shelton line.
Under the new plan it will be un-
lawful for anyone to operate stages
between these points without paying
an annual license of S25 for each s.
passenger car and $50 for each car
carrying seven or more passengers.
These licenses are revocable upon
conviction of violation of city traffic
laws.
The franchise ordinance covering
the mpia-Tacoma route grants
the privilege of operating these
stages to David Austermuhl and is
25-year franchise. 1t stipulates that
these stages shall leave from the
Central Bus station: that Auster-
muhl has the exclusive right to load
and unload stages on the south side
of Fourth street between Columbia
and point within so feet of Main
street; that he may permit other for
hire cars to load or unload passen-
gers there at a fee of not more than
IS per month if they have city
licenses; and that he absolves the
city from any liability by reason of
being granted the use of the streets
for the operation of the streets.

Mr.. Mottman had done, to file suit to
collect his claim if he thought he was
justified. The officers and HAYS
walked out of the store together and
Cusack says he then thought the diff
ficulty had been settled.
