Because she had TO talk to

looked up at her quickly.

Immediately after receiving
word of Riggio's complaint, The
Daily Monitor commenced an
extensive survey of fruit and
vegetable markets which took
in parts of Macomb Wayne and
st. Clair counties.
RESULTS OF SURVEY
The partial survey, which
will be continued on a large
scale, revealed:
1-Over rs per cent of those
interviewed bought their pro-
duce from one Detroit concern.
Prices Of all fruits and
vegetables were considerably
higher in the rs percent group
than in the remaining Is per
cent, indicating possible press
ure.
3-Operators of the larger
group were not prone to discuss
why they asked more for their
produce, of the same quality,
than did other markets and
stands located only a short dis
lance away who either grew
their own produce or dealt
with other concerns.
A number of the operators
refused to discuss any possibility
of racket pressure" while some
hastily denied knowledge of any
undo influence"
5-One operator of a large
market near the Macomb-St.
Clair county line bluntly refus-
ed to say where he purchased
his produce, adding "Tm not
looking for any trouble. Why
should you be-"
Gone operator, of Italian ex-
traction, whose market is locat-
ed in the south end of the coun-
ty, expressed establishment at
possibilities of pressure. His
brother is said to operate vege-
table farm.

One thousand street cars and
1850 buses stood idle in ter
minals as a result of the 4 am.
strike action, and the proud
nickname of 1.-THE Motor City"
took on a new and stern signi-
ficance.
Taxi drivers extended their
cruising radius and reaped a
rich harvest. Companies plac-
ed additional cabs IN service as
fast as other drivers could be
found to man them.
Neighbors begged rides from
neighbors as citizens became
aware of the transportation
tieup.

work. Motorists generally prov

automobiles that were not car

wait in disputes involving pub

SCATHING REBUKE

lists gave proper notice of in

declared.
A jurisdictional dispute be-
tween the AFL Union and a
rival CLIO Organization result
ed in the strike, unexpected in
view of recent wage concessions
which stilled previous rumbl-
ings of discomfort. A three
man board OF arbitration in
creased the hourly wage Of
street car motormen and con-
ductors from 83 to 81 cents,
and the wage of bus drivers,
who collect their own fares,
from IS to 90 cents.

Attendants

House Attendants, CLIO, told the
Daily Monitor this noon I'VE
are going to insist on recog-
milton of the union regardless of
what action is taken by the
owners, "even if it means hav-
ing the Mediation Board decide
the issue" He limited that he
would have things to tell" the
board if they were called in to
settle the strike.
CLIO officials said that en-
ployes from the Mount Glenn
ems Pottery Company, recently
the scene of lengthy strike,
had promised to aid the attend
ants in the picket lines.
MAY CLOSE DOWN
One bath house owner said
that he was not booking any
new patients in the belief that
he would "close down" II the
strike is not Immediately set
tied.
In past years, the bath in
dustry in Mount Clemens start
ed closing down during the first
part of September.
Representatives of both fac
tons said that an agreement had
been reached in wage demands
and partial" agreement in all
other requests with the excep-
ton of the closed shop clause.
The union had asked an in
crease of from so cents to rs
cents in bathing fees; no baths
after 5 pm; seniority rights;
sanitary improvements; addi-
tional towels and suitable dress
ing rooms in addition to the
closed shop.
FEE BOOST OKAYED
Representatives of the bath
houses said that they had
agreed on the fee boost, but
maintained cts none of of our
business what they charge as
long as it does not effect our
volume.
I'VE are interested in seeing
that every attendant makes
more money, but after all they
are not our employees. 1t is up to
the patients to decide the size
of the fees"
(The attendants are paid by
the patients at all bath houses
with the minimum fee set at so
cents per treatment. In many
cases the fee is as high as 81,
including the tip).
SEEK RULING
The owners asserted that they
could not recognize the union
until they are reasonably sure
we are legally able to do So"
Their hesitation, it was said,
conferred around the question as
to whether recognition would
mean the attendants were en-
ployes of the bath houses instead
OF what was termed free lane
ers."
A conference between repre-
sentatives of both factions was
being planned this afternoon,
but no actual hour or place had
been Immediately agreed upon.

phone calls to his residence in
Detroit failed to bring an ans

day afternoon that two en-

had told him to "get out of the
county and stay out" and 1.-The

engaged in a similar business,
On Nov. %, 1892, Kerton was
waylaid by a gang of hoodlums

were fired into his body. He
survived and told his story to
county authorities, but inves-

gunner.
