FAIR WAGE PAID
BY CONTRACTOR
Firm of Abel Brothers Is
Not Barred on City
Street Jobs.

A. o. Abel Of the contracting
firm of Abel Brothers, issued a
statement today, concurred in by
Ernest tricks, works board secre-
tary, that the firm still is a legal
bidder on street improvement work,
despite report that it had been
barred for paying a wage of 10
cents an hour to some laborers.
Frick last week indicated that
the firm had been barred, due to
the low wage in the face Of a 30
cents-an-hOlT minimum.
1t was explained today that wages
below the minimum were paid some
workers on a street improvement
job in the vicinity of the south side
market, but the project was not
strictly of city nature, as the mar
ket organization paid three fourths
Of the cost.
Some men, it was stated, en-
ployed principally ON a charity
basis, were paid 17l5 cents an hour,
and others received 20 and Is cents.
However, Abel declared today that
the minimum now Is 80 cents an
hour.
On the particular project, it was
explained that a clause relating to
the 30-cent minimum wage was
omitted in printed notices.

Death Strikes, But Race
at Speedway Goes On

is not insignificant. Most of the
fatalities occur in the qualifying
trials. There have not been many
deaths in the race itself.
Curiously it is the threat Of
death that lures a big part Of the
vast crowd which annually attends
the event. There will be more
than 100000 spectators at the
speedway Tuesday.

T ALWAYS have contended that
L no sport is worth a mans life.
And yet this is plainly something
more than sport. 1t is the lab
oratory Of the automobile indus
try 1t is in these races that most
of the innovations and refine
ments of the modern motor car
are born. There is only one way
they can be put to a practical test,
and that is on the track.
I suppose it is true that there
is something majestic about men

The U. S. S. Crawford steamed into
Houghton Sunday after rescuing
100 men and women who had spent
a night of terror aboard the eXcur-
sion boat George M Cox as it was
sinking off wind-swept Isle Royals
in Lake Superior.
Among the eighty men and forty
women who huddled for hours on
the sinking ship in a belief that they
were doomed were five. who suffered
injuries.
One of them was George janet,
whose leg was scalded when boiler
exploded after the boat struck a reef
off the rocy isle. George M. Cox,
owner of the boat; Alex Mack, a
coal passer; Beatric Coty, ships
housekeeper, and George Williams,
a deckhand, suffered cuts and
bruises.

was doomed as the last of the pas
Sengers and crew we're taken off and

Passengers praised Captain
George Johnson highly and said
that his cool bravery during the
critical hours prevented panic.
The Crawford was unable to ap-
proach close enough to the
marooned ship to transfer passeng-
ers directly and most Of those saved
were brought to shore in lifeboats
lowered from the Crawford and
nosed by sailors through heavy fog
and treacherous rocks to the side
of the listing vessel.
