THREATENED STRIKE
AT NATIONAL PLATE
HALTED BY INCREASE

A threatened strike which would
have badly crippled the National
Plate Glass Co., Ottawa's largest in
dustry, was averted at the eleventh
hour, when an announcement of a
general ten per cent wage increase
throughout the entire fad Jory was
made. Workmen at the plant We're
planning to quit late yesterday, it is
said, when the Office announced the
wage increase for all the employees.
The workmen were demanding ten
cent an hour increase, it is claimed.
After a conference of officials the
company made a counter offer of a
ten per cent raise, After considering
the proposition the men decided to
accept the increase, and to stick to
their jobs.
The wage increase will start i'm
mediately. This is the second raise
the employees Of the factory have re-
ceived within the last few months.
The agitation FOR the wage increase
is said to have started in the grinding
room, which is one of the most import
ant departments Of the factory.
More than 400 workmen are en-
ployed at the factory

STRANGER RESCUES
BOY WHO FELL FROM
TREE into CANAL
LAD HAS CLOSE CALL TO DEATH
WHILE HIDING IN LIMB PRE-
CARIOUSLY CLOSE TO WATERS
OF I. & MN HOSPITAL.

Hiding in a tree from his two older
brothers, while en- route home from
school yesterday afternoon, Edward
Connors, aged 10, lost his balance, and
fell in the side cut of the Illinois
Michigan canal, near the Lafayette
street bridge. The boy was pulled un-
conscious from the water by strange
man whose name was not learned by
either the parents of the lad or a
crowd of women who aided in the res
cue.
The boy is the son of Dennis Con
nors, 1916 West Madison street. He
and his two brothers had been attend
ing Jefferson school yesterday, and
were on their way home, when the
near drowning occurred.
The lad is belived to have beer
knocked unconscious from a severe
blow he received on the jaw, as he
struck big limb of the tree while
falling, rather than from the water
He was taken to Ryburn Hospital
following the accident and was still a
patient there today, suffering from O
badly bruised jaw.
Edward had climbed tree to hide
from his brother Kenneth. In some
manner he lost his balance and slip
ped, falling into the side of the side
cut, over which the branches of the
tree extended A man who was pass
ing ran to his rescue, and succeeded
in reaching from the bank. Assisted
by Mrs Roy Butcher, who ran to his
aid he lifted him from the water. The
child was unconscious, but Mrs. Butch

down, to expell the water from his
stomach and lungs, and soon revived
him.

REFUIES CLAIM Of
INCREASED TAXES
BY z MILL EXCISE.
MAYOR SAYS PUBLIC BENEFITS
ORDINANCE is REPEALABLE AT
ANY TIME, AND ONLY CON-
FORMS WITH RECENT SUPREME
COURT DECISION ON uNAuTH-
DRIED BONDS.

Denying that the proposed two mill
tax for public benefits in Ottawa
would increase taxes Mayor Weeks
last night went into the ordinance,
which eventually was formally adopt
ed by the council, before the meeting
adjourned at some length explaining
its purport to his colleagues and to
set the public right on its import in
the conduct Of future improvements.
The mayor said that contrary to the
impression left by the newspapers, fol-
lowing introduction of the ordinance a
week ago, that the two mill tax ar
rangement meant increased taxes, the
two mill plan added nothing to the ex-
cises imposed upon the property own
ers.
In years gone by, he said, the city's
portion of expenses attached to public
improvements has been raised by gem
eral taxation against which bonds
were issued and sold on the open
market. Now comes the supreme court
he explained, and ruled that the issu-
ance of bonds by the mere act of a
council, and without vote of the peo-
pie is unlawful and that in reality
bonds so issued are not legal, and
therefore not negotiable.
When the supreme court rendered
this decision it became imperative
that not only Ottawa, but all other cit
les of Illinois change their tactics and
refrain from issuing bonds for public
benefits when the bonds were not con-
firmed in a referendum election.
A solution for the enigma put up to
the municipality by the high court, was
discovered in the law which permits of
taxes being levied up to and including
two mills on the assessed dollar value.
The mayor stated that the two mills
is not always necessary to meet the
city's share of public Improvement
costs and only the amount necessary
to raise will be included in the tax.
Most of the time, he said, one mill, a
mill and a half and sometimes less
will be levied for this purpose.
The twenty-year clause contained in
the ordinance, which provided the tax
over decade, does not necessarily
mean. he added, that the tax will be
raised every year. In years when there
are no public improvements, such as
paving or sewers. for which the city
must pay a share, the council will not
raise the public benefit tax. The or
dinance is repealable at any time. he
added, during the twentyyear period
! of its existence; repealable perman
emily or for any one or more years
while it is in force

Deciding to delay any action in re

the new Fox river bridge, the coun-
Gil last night took up the situation
from tho several angles and after dis
cussing them pro and con and finally
agreed to let the matter go over un-
til the interurban structure has been
moved over onto its temporary piers.
Commissioner Bradley suggested
the plan given by him to the Free
Trader-Journal that one way traffic
from the east and toward town only,
be allowed to travel over the inter
urban bridge and that eastbound cars
be compelled to go around by the
aqueduct to reach the east side.
He explained that he thought it
comparatively an easy matter toI
erect walk on the south side of the
interurban structure, which could be
used by pedestrians while the new
public bridge was in course OF con
struction. The council was Impress
ed by the Bradley scheme and init
mated that later there would be some
action TO make life for east side ~foiiss4
