A departure from the usual way of
dealing with requests for bigger
wages was made by the presidents Of
eastern railroads who were asked by
the representatives of five unions to
restore the wartime scale reduced by
the labor board and to drop all plans
for further decrease and for cutting
payments for overtime; the demand
was simply refused, and no explana-
ton was offered. Requests for in
crease in wages at this time seem on.

wages steadily are advancing. due 90

ARGUMENT HEARD IN
STREET MARKET CASE
To Test the Law Which Pro.
hibits Stands on the
Sidewalk.

Argument on the validity OF the
resolution recently passed by the
street and Sewer Department order
ing the removal OF all market stands
from in front OF places OF business
was heard before Judge Hastings in
Municipal Court today
The defendants. Mrs. Catherine
Celia and William F., and James Il
Johnson,were represented by Robert
q. Harman. p. Warren Green. as-
sistant city solicitor, defended the
measure for the Street and Sewer De-
partment.
Briefs were filed and Judge Hast.
ings announced that a decision would
probably be handed down on No
vember 10.
Attorneys on both sides agreed on
the facts. that is that Johnson Bros
stand on East Seventh street extends
three feet, one inch from the building
line. on King street, two feet. eight
inches, and the Celia stands, both on
King and East Fourth streets. four
feet.
Mr.. Harman contended that the
Street and Sewer department had
absolutely no right to regulate the
firmer's market and admitted that
possibly Council could regulate the
matter of stands under the authority
given it to eliminate "nuisances."
In attacking the resolution passed
on October 4, counsel for the defen-
daAts quoted much from the decision
of Municipal Judge Churchman, which
is regarded as a resume of the Market
regulations of the city and which com
prises 20 typwritten pages. Attorney
Harmon was counsel for Zimmerman.
the defendant in that case in 1911.
On King street and other market
streets, especially, the Street and
Sewer Department has no authority
as under an act passed in 1888 the
Council was given sole powers of
regulation. Then in 1917 when the
laws Of the market were in such a
chaotic state the Legislature stepped
in and passed an act repeating one
of 1885 and again forbidding the Street
and Sewer Department 10 regulate
the farmers market.
Inc STANDS IN question, counsel con-
tended, were on the streets set aside
for farmers market with the ex-
ceptions ot the cross streets.
Finally, Mr.. Harman declared that
the ordinance is not reasonable and
II as the most sweeping
measure Of its kind he had ever heard

oral argument but filed a lengthy
brief.
