WORKERS AGAINST 0vERALLS CRAZE
Makes Price Advanced To Those Who Need
 Them.

eve are against the wear overall craze,' said Richard H. Monks, or ganizer of lodge No. 30, Ama1gamat- ed Metal Workers of America, this morning.
 What good does it do? It raises the price of overalls to those who need them and have to wear them at their work and lets a lot of half bak- ed nuts, who can well afford to pay high prices for clothes, parade around trying to create the impres- sion that they are patriots and get a little cheap notoriety they could get in no other way
 'fThese men make me sick. Last Sunday I saw a couple dressed in overaIIs and swinging canes going into the Post Office with their chests out They acted as though they thought they were heroes
 ''No, I don't believe the working men should wear overalls except when at work. They should get sufficient wages so that they can af- ford to wear good clothes when they are not working and I don't believe that they ought to travel around like a bunch of Chinese coo1ies.'

 "I was unable to attend last nights meeting of the Council said Alder man McManus, although it was stated in one paper that I was pres ent- I did not expect the Salts Tex tile matter would come up but it was put through unexpectedly during my absence My position is that the idea of giving this valuable property to the Textile Go is just as Ia cking in It is not a proper action for the city to take
 In voting to give away the city s property, the aldermen ignored an excellent opinion by City Attorney Colnley who advised them that by their action they have left the city's interests in the big trunk line sewer unprotected. The sewer passes through the part of the street which has bean discontinued by the vote o1 tile aldermen The city has no lega right to keep a sewer there and the water mains of the Hydraulic Co. art also left there without legal right Il had known the matter was to have been brought up last night I wouft have opposed the plan strongly.''
 Alderman McManus, who is him self a Republican, is one of severa progressive mepb bers of the Common Council, who has opposed recent ac tons of the Administration whic1 they did not think were for the city. best interests.
