COST OF SIDEWALKS
 IN STAMFORD
Contractors Complain of Cheap Town Labor on
 Public Work
UP TO THE COUNCIL

They are having trouble in Strat- ford because the town is setting curbs and laying sidewalks and do- ing the work cheaper than 1t can be done by private contractors. The matter has been brought to the at- tention of the town counsel in the form of q proposition by one of the members. One would have to know whether abutting property pays half or the full price of such before discussing what merit there is in the change asked for. If there Is direct assessment against abut- ting property owners, they ought to have something to say about 1t, but if the town foots the bill 1t Is q matter for the officials. In any event one would say that 1t Is quite proper to get the work done at the lowest price.
 A similar question came up in Waterbury whom the new sidewalk law was passed which put half the cost on the city and the street de- pertinent took hold of the job. It was soon shown that private con- tractors would have to set out of the business. Naturally they made HEHL tO Ntktllh FNN they lost out, and nobody would suggest q return to the primitive plan, where all the cost of con. structing and repairs were paid by the abutting owners. The same condition existed with reference to permanent paving. Now this Is paid In full by the public. fn the days when individuals were as- sessed, there were some sharp dis. cusslons over It in the aldermanic chamber.
 Of course there may be some merit in the position taken by the contractors. IL Is charged that the town is doing the work with unem- ploycd labor at greatly reduced wages to that paid by the contrae. tors. If htis be true the contrae- tors have Q case which the author. tiles should give consideration. If there Is nothing to 1t but equal wages for work of the same char. actnr and the town can show better results then 1t Is another matter.

 To-day was the last day for sub. mission of codes and President Roosevelt may now summon lag ging industries to hearing In pre- paration for imposing codes upon them if agreements are possible no other way.
 The actual story of the disagree ments which led to Gates resigna- ton goes back almost to the hrstt day he came to Washington to act as Johnson's right hand man in contacts with industrial leaders.
 Gates, a tall, deeply tanned man of 45, got into controversy with representatlves of labor interests by announcing that collective bar | gaining was not necessary in the preparation of codes.
 When Johnson was moving every force at his command to start the presidential unemployment agree ments, Gates, without previous in- timatlon of his intention, calmly recommended at staff meeting that tho whole plan be abandoned.
 The points at issue between Johnson and Gates became so marked that Johnson finally told his assistant that he would no longer discuss controversial mat ters with him.
 Labor leaders privately were pleased at Gates retirement. Their difficulties within the administra- ton henceforth will be mostly with c. C.. Williams, a deputy ad- ministrator, who has been In sev- eral hot arguments comparable to some in which Gates took part.
