COUNCIL TO DECIDE ON
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Matter Of Paid System Really
Rests in Hands of That
Body.

The discovery that under the ex-
isting law the City Council has the
right to approve or reject any plan
the Directors of the Department of
Public Safety may submit To them
pertaining To the establishment OF o
paid fire department has put dif-
ferent phase on the situation. Most
OF tbs. volunteer hrernen and others
heretofore have been under the inn
pression that Council had nothing to
do with the department other than to
provide the necessary cash md con-
sequently that body had not nrevi-
ously been consulted about anything
in connection with the project. The
law provides, however. that they must
approve the plans and estimates of
the safety directors before the latter
can proceed further so that this
practically gives Council the final
Jurisdiction over the entire situation
The iinano. committee OF Council
will meet tonight and IL fs expected
II win take up the request of several
of tho fire companies for payment of
s2T3 TO them, this sum representing
the halsnce they say is DUE from the
city in connection witt the settlement
OF the differences between them and
the Council last year. Some OF the
Councilmen have expressed the belief
that this money should be paid them
while others contend the promise Of
payment was made contingent upon
the financial conditions OF the city
at the end of she last fiscal year The
city ended the year with deficit and
on this ground 1t is claimed by Coun-
ell that tho money Is not due the fire
companies. Just what recommenda-
tion the finance committee will make
to the Council with regard 10 the mat
ter is undecided.

they find on the other hand that there
is no way out of the present situa-
ton under the law. then. IL Is claim
ed. the easiest way TO bring about a
settlement OF the difficulty VIII be TO
rescind the present law and pass a
itew one.
1t is expected that IL there has beer
no settlement OF the case at the ex-
piration Of the three months the vol
unteer FIRE companies have signed mp
for that some will refuse to enter into
another contract and will quit the
service. They arc known to be tired
Of the volunteer system and anxious
TO get out Of the service and TO dis
pose of their holdings in the IRE hous-
es and equipment and by refusing TO
sign another contract even for
short period. It is believed tho issue
could be forced to a settlement.

CLASH AT DINNER TALKS

ny Associated s'r~ss &. Every Evening.
Washington. September 7.-Gcneral
rershinT and Samuel Gonpers had a
TIT last night, at dinner given at
the conclusion OF the exercises here
colehratins Iafayette-Marne Day. At
least oniciai Washington ress,1ds it
~ a clash over the question of
whether ls.bor won the war.
MIR. Gompers had spoken on the
-ftsr- dinner program. and while he
made MO claim that labor won the
war. he did tell OF the record of the
American Federation of Labor dur
Inns the, war. and declared that pre-
vinns to che entry of the United
ststes its sympathy was with the
cause OF the Allies.
General pershing. however. appar.
entity regarded Mr.. Gompcr's remarks
as a claim that labor had wen the
war. Some Of those who heard his
remarks quote him as having said
substantially:
"'rhe policies OF this republic are not
determined by labor unions or by any
other organizations: but by the con-
census OF opinion OF its patriotic ciu-
gens OF whatever affiliations.
Il want 60 say hat every Ameri-
can ~ a patriot. whether he belongs
60 some labor organization or is just
an ordinary citizen. anc that IL isn't
the question Of labor unions, II isn't
ilfe question of any organization, it.
lent tht question of whether we be-
lnnr % some organization or not.
1t is question OF whether we are
loyal citizens OF the United States.
am here Co say to YOU that the mem
hcra % the labor unions weren't the
only ones who won the war. IL WAS
tho citizcns who inherited their patri-
otism from their forefathers who
came across in the Mayfiower and
helped determine and decide the indie
rcrdence OF America. as well as those
who have adopted American institu-
tiuns as their own. II seems TO oe
about time for MS TO rise up and say
that America shall be ruled and gov
erned hy American citizens. and not
hN organizations which have their
own selfish purpose to serve.
The incident. however. did not de-
veiop into debate. and ended with
General pershing's speech.
