spirit among our people IT support of your truly business administration. This has been occasioned in large measure, even in former opponents to the plan, by your practical demonstration of its prin- ciples.' The Labor Review of Dayton reports the plan Satisfactory in every re- spect' One of its chief supporters and advocates is w. c. Lee, national head of the Brotherood of Railroad Trainmen.
 When the city manager idea was pro- posed in Loraine O., union labor i'll Wheeling, w. Va, was asked what its experience had been with the city mana ger plan. The trades and labor assem- bly,, after long and thorough discussion, sent back full and vigorous endorse ment.
 The driving power behind the whole movement was the idea of doing away with false, discredited forms of democ- racy that played into the hands of the few professionals or political experts who have always thrived in the complexi- ties of city government. Since the com- missioners Cor councilmen) are directors of policy only, and therefore are only re- quired to devote a few hours a week to public business, the people are free to ex- pand their field of selection beyond the old list of job holders, and consider rep
 
 resentative citizens whose private busi- ness affairs are too big to be relinquished for an old-style city job.
 "The city-manager plan, moreover, lends itself perfectly to a scheme of rep resentation that gives a voice to every considerable element in the town. Under the city-manager plan, the governing body can be just as democratic. as the town wishes But, regardless of any method of selecting the officials, it is fundamen- tally democratic because of its simplicity and because of the responsibility which it imposes on the men chosen to operate it.
 "The plan abolishes 'one-man' power, for it is the council and not the manager which governs. The manager on the other hand, is subject to continuous con trol by the group. There have been mis- fit managers, just as there have been ms- fit mayors, but they have been put in their place or removed with little ado"

WAGE BOARDS TO
 SETTLE BUILDING
 TROUBLES URGED
A. F. of L. Executive Board Gets Proposal That Will Prevent
 Strikes

Cincinnati, Ohio, May 15-Estab1ish- ment Ot local wage conference or adjust ment boards throughout the country to prevent unnecessary strikes and 1ockouts in the building industry was urged by the executive council of the building trades department of the American Federation of Labor.
 Under the proposed plan announced by John DOnlin, president of the Building Trades Department, arbitration of wage disputes IS provided and sympathetic strikes in behalf of unions making "un- justified demands" are prevented. The plan has been successfully tried out in several cities, he said.
 "The new movement" he added, Twill give stability to the industry and inspire confidence in the building and investment public'
 The proposed boards will be composed of representatives of the building con- tractors and the various unions. Wage scales for the various crafts will be es- tablished on an equitable basis, accorning to the merits of the trade. There will be no uniform scale The board shall con- slider the question of advances or de- creases in wages as general living condi- tions will permit.
 "One of the chief merits of the p1an," said MT. Don1in, lis that no sympathetic strike can be called to uphold the unrea- sonable or unjustifed demands of some particular union. That is one of our troubles today and situation that must be rectifed."
 Reports received by the council, Presi- dent Donlin said, showed that building conditions throughout the country are 'very bad," but there is some slight i'm prOVement.
 Wage reductions will not solve the building depression situation. The people are not building and will not build at the present time. They apparently are sat- isfied with buying luxuries-not homes"
 The high cost of building materials is also responsible for the slump in build ing, the labor leader said, adding that these costs had advanced 140 per cent during the last few years, but had only declined about 40 per cent up to the pres ent time.
 The executive council of the Ameri- can Federation is working on its report to the annual convention of the federal tion
 This report, it was learned, will in clude recommendation for general ap- plication of the initiative and referendum in the political affairs of the United States and of our several states"
 Word was received by the council that J. H. Thomas, head of the railway work ers' union in England, will be in the United States soon and will address the federation's convention in Denver in June.

BUILDING BOSSES
 NAIL CANARD OF
 CUT PRODUCTION
Contractors Convention Declares Mechanics, Esecially Brick
 layers, Are Fully on Job.

The canard spread by the agents of the Builders Exchange to help their reduc- ton Tn wages that the building mechanics. especially the briCklayers, were and are reducing production, thus keeping up building costs, is now officially nailed No lesser body than the convention of The Mason Contractors of the United States and Canada did the mailing and drove it in so hard that Clerk Mckay will be hard set to pull it out The convention, after discussing the reports spread here and elsewhere about short production adopted the following resolutions:
 WHEREAS, wide publicity has been given by the newspapers of the country to articles calling attention to the low production basis of journeyman brick layers of the United States and Canada. and
 WHEREAS, such information has not been based upon facts, or knowledge as to it's truth, and
 WHEREAS, by reason of said pub- llclty much injury as been done to the building business in general, and the ma son-contractors and the brick1ayers in particular, and believing in the right of the public to receive the correct inforrna- ton
 THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mason Contractors Association of the United States and Canada, in con- vent1on assembled, go on record that 1t
 is the sense of this body that the tourney n1an bricklayers of the United States and
 Canada, as a whole, are now producing an amount of work that compares favor ply with that of pre-war years, and that they are cooperating with the mason
 contractors to the end that the public may be given more production which makes for lower building costs and more homes"
 That ought to settle it.

 WILL BE CHANGED

Hartford, May 13.-That all federal prohibition enforcement work will soon be transferred to the department of jus tice to relieve the internal revenue depart ment is the expectation of Julius C. Strcmlau, prohibition director for this state, as a result of conversations he had in Washington recently. The change will have to be made by act of Congress, which in the Volstead act placed the en- forcenent upon the internal revenue sec tion. This action has been talked of in Washington and in the newspapers for some time.
