WAGE SLASH WAS MADE
Council Decides to Cut
Workers Stipends
WILL START MAY 18TH
Street Car Company Objects to
Paying For Paving Be-
tween Tracks

Wages of transfers and common
laborers were slashed last night by
the members of the city council at
the suggestion of Councilman Alex
Anderson, who claimed that wages
paid by the city of Mankato are
higher than paid for common labor by
other concerns in the city. Men and
teams who had been receiving Sc
cents per hour were slashed to Ga
cents per hour. and common labor
from As cents per hour to 35 cents
per hour. When Councilman Ander-
son suggested the cut in salary as
stated, Mayor W. A. Beach said that
if the salaries in one department
where the work is of the same ma
ture is reduced all common labor
would have to work on the same
level. Councilman A. G. Lack was
asked if it would be all right to re-
duce the day wages of the park en-
plOyes and he said that he guessed
it would be all right. The motion of
Councilman Anderson to make a cut
in wages Of common labor was Sec
Onded by Councilman Gus Klein
schmidt, and when 1t came to vote
everyone voted for the reduction.
n. L. Bacon, teamster present at
the meeting said that he thought the
reduction too much. He thought
that wages should come down in
easier steps than the one proposed
by Councilman Anderson. The new
shedule of wages for common labor
of city employees will go into effect
