SAUTER QUITS AS
C.. |. j. PRESIDENT
Resigns as Head of Labor Body,
But Refuses to Give Reasons
for Action.

At the meeting of the Central Labor
Union Tuesday evening in Irish-American
Hall, George Sauter quit as president,
turning over his gavel to another delegate
with the statement that he was "done.
A motion for the appointment of com
mittee to have him reconsider his action
was tabled.
When he was telephoned yesterday by
other members of Central Labor Union
to either reconsider his action or give
his reasons in writing for resigning, he is
said to have advised them that he had his
reasons. He was "done," he said, and
felt that his verbal resignation was
sufficient.
MIR. Sauter states that he has nothing
TO say except that he has his reasons,
but does not think they are of interest
to the public.
1t is said by some on the inside that
Mr.. Sauters resignation was the result OF
conflict In standard and city time, IN
connection with n hearing of a delegation
from the Sunshine Society, on the curiew
law.
When nm arrangement was made 10
meet the delegation at z o clock, without
stating whether it was city or standard
time. no one except MIR. Sauter was on
hand to meet the committee. When the
others arrived about =, there was
hearing ON the curfew law and consider
able discussion resulting in the tabling
of resolution TO indorse such n law 1t
was at this point that Mr.. Sauter IS
said to have quit.
Mr. Sauter has served several terms rs
president, being recently reelected after
a warm fight for the place with John {.
Savior The vacancy will be filled at
the next regular meeting in June.

TRAFFIC SUGGESTION.
To Relieve Congestion at Eighth and
Market Streets.

As a result of the new traffic regulations
effective in Wilmington since March l,
a rather bad condition has developed ut
Eighth and Market streets. When the
West Eighth street car turns off Market
street into Eighth, it stops to take on
passengers so near the street crossing
that vehicles have no room to turn into
Eighth street back of the car without
violating two of the traffic regulations.
Under head of Prohibited Stopping
Places" the rules name ION regular
crossings" and "in positions as to inter
rupt traffic or trolleys." An automobile
desiring to turn into Eighth street off
Market following trolley car must either
pass the ear, stop ne rer to 1t than tn
ordinance allows, or remain on Market
street, blocking traffic, or stop on the
crossing.
This difficulty could be avoided by
having the trolley car stop farther up
Eighth street toward Shipley. In fact,
Sergeant Devcnish of the Police Depart
ment has requested that this be done.
This has caused objection on the part OF the
public Those about to board the car
feel that they are being imposed upon
by being obliged To walk 20 or % feet
farther along on Eighth street. lho
trolley crews should not DC Dia1led lor
this 1t is necessary to avoid traffic con-
gestion on Market street or the violation
of the traffic regulations by the drivers of
motor vehicles.
The Delaware avenue cars stop far
enough from the Market street crossing
to avoid the trouble being experienced
at Eighth street, and there Is no complaint
from the public at that point. The same
reasons prevailing for it, there should be
