restriction in Contract Signed
With the Davis Company
This Morning.
INJUNCTION MAY FOLLOW

Pursuant to action taken by City
Council, at It's meeting last night.
Mayor Leroy Harvey and Clerk of
Council Homer G. Simmons today
signed contract with the Davis
Garbage Furnace Co. of Lancaster
Ia. for the construction Of nsu,
garbage incinerator for the city of
Wilmington. The cost is not TO ex-
coed 5000.
But the contract contains re-
striction which may cause trouble
However. az the duties OF the navor
and clerk Of Council being only minis
teriai In matters OF this kind. no re-
sponsfblEty can be placed on them for
me form or contract. and as tho
contract was drawn by City Solicitor
Reuben Satterthwalte, Jr., by direction
OF committee OF Council, 1t was made
in the form Indicated by the parties
In interest.
The chief restriction in the contract
IS that only local union labor shall be
employed on the work. as far as pos-
sioie. Because of this arrangement
local contractors who do not emplov
union labor find themselves in an
awkward position. As a result they
contemplate making protest 70 the
city authorities, and if that doesn' IL
result in relief an injunction may be
sought. on the ground that they con
slider the contract unfair in that Il
bars certain classes Of workmen.
Following is the text OF the clause
IN the contract between the city and
the Davis company that has caused
ali OF the commotlon:
We further agree to employ
local union labor, mechan-
les and sub-contractors. and to-
purchase all material and supplies.

desire To have II go before a jury.
