 Two Are Dissatisfied
 When the committee submitted its slate, Councilman Arthur G. Crusberg of the second ward expressed himself as dissatisfied.
 Councilman Nair said he was will ing to give mp his place on the claims committee and fake Crusberg's license committee appointment, leaving the more important post to the second warder. Crusberg didn't want Nair to leave the claims committee. but upon motion of Alderman Falk the change was made.
 Councilman Stanley Karpinski Of the fifth ward who was member of the committee on salaries last year, was taken off that committee and placed on the ordinance and license committees. He, too. was dissatisfied. Addressing the meeting the council man said it was apparent to him that there arc two kinds of republicans preferred and ordinary.
 Councilman Thure Bengston is the new chairman of the salaries commit tee. Councilman Crusberg comment cd upon the absence from the caucus of Councilman A. F. Eichstaedt who was chairman of that committee last year and remarked that the manner in which the council handled the sal aries report might be the cause of his absence.
 This was denied by Alderman Judd. Tho alderman said Mir. Eichstaedt told him that he would be too busy 10 at. tend and that he did not want 10 head the salaries committee this year.
 Councilman Rutherford was willing, he told the gathering, to be taken off the railroads committee to which he had been appointed as chairman. Crusberg was the chairman Of that committee last year.
 Paicwski In Defiant Mood
 Alderman Pajewski wanted to know if names other than that of Alderman Judd had been mentioned for presi- dent pro tenn. Councilman Sair said several had been spoken of, but Judd was the choice.
 The firth ward alderman gave mo- tice that the republicans may expect trouble this year If they play favorites with their pets" He said he was willing to assist in recognizing the party, but not unless the others were willing to work in the open and stop whispering campaigns" The alder man remarked that there is national election coming on and he advised against unfair treatment of council members who are not in the select circle. Pajewski then turned 10 Judd and said:
 Men of your type are the kind that disorgamze q party. Don't be so cold hearted as you have been. Mir. Judd, or there will he trouble"
 Pajewski said he had heard much talk aboh "Polacks" but he warned that there arc many of the little "Polacks" growing up and if the re- publican party wants them to fall in line, they must be treated fairly.
 Alderman Judd asked the fifth warden 10 cite single instance when he had acted in a manner that would reflect upon himself or the party. "I think too much of my reputation the alderman concluded.
 "You've got one all right" Psjew- ski retorted.
