REORGANIZATION

The last meeting OF the Demo-
cratic City Committee as now con-
stituted. was he'd last evening. While
many expected the session to be
marred with factional squabbles.
everything was unusually serene be-
tween the factions that support and
oppose the resignation OF Josiah o.
Wolcott from the United States SEN
ate In order TO accept the Chancel-
lorship. Not word was said about
two resolutions supposed 10 be Of
fered. one to condemn and the other
TO uphold Mr.. Wolcotts action.
Chairman Timothy j. Mooney out
lined the plan Of organization OF the
new committee. which becomes ef-
fective at the next meeting. October
90. Instead Of each ward being rep
resented by six committeeman as at
present. each Of the 125 election
districts OF the city will have two
representatives, man and a wo-
man.
The change will take most OF the
power now in the hands OF ward
leaders and place it with the indi-
vidual district committeeman. The
committeeman will report directly To
the city committee and be held ac-
countable for results in the dis
tricts. During the next two weeks
the various districts will select their
committeeman.
At the next meeting a new chair
man. treasurer. secretary and assist

library building was given. The only
interest the city had in the matter
is an appropriation. Mr.. McManus
stated. and from what he had heard
IL was possible that the amount OF
the bond issue OF 100000 author
lied might never he called for.
1T seems to me IL there is any
truth in that communication there is
some reason in the attitude OF the
C. l.. us committee that appeared
before us" Mr. Mulvena said. II
believe they are honest about IL.
They came up before us with the
law. There is no doubt in my mind
the law is constitutional and will
stand any court test. II the DUPONT
Engineering Co. is going to take any
attitude like this because these men
have asked action. think 1t is time
for US to act. II their sub-oontrac-
tors are violating the law, they
should be made to live up to Il, for
25 cents an hour is not a. living wage.
That also applies TO the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad shops"
Councilman Murray also urged that
action be taken at once looking to-
ward some agreement whereby the
wages Of men might be increased
and only Wilmington workmen be
employed.
Councilman Abrahams stated that
between 1900 and 1900 applications
for work on the harbor project
had been made and that Will
mington men. and especially mar
ried men, were being taken on first
and that applicants were asked how
long they have been out Of work and
how many children they have as a
means Of determining need fol
work"
Mr.. Abrahams stated that he felt
/ the matter should be held up until
an opinion was received from the
/ City Solicitor He said that there
was some doubt of the constitution
ality OF the law in question and
stated that one Of the leaders of the
Central Labor Union had admitted
TO him that they Ohe Central Labor
fUnion) did not know Of the exist
ence Of the law until three weeks
ago.
Mr. McManus offered a motion thai
the clerk be instructed 10 communi-
cate with the dupont Engineering
Company and request that Whining.
ton men be given preference in en-
ployment" President Ward op'
posed this motion and suggested
that a special committee of Council
be authorized to take the matter uI
with the DUPONT concern.
