Discipline Lacking
Dethmers said the high officials
of the prison gave the guards no
backing and that no discipline was
exercised over certain inmates. He
said there were no regular inspec-
tons Of the prison by top officials
nor the usual raids to uncover hid
den stores Of liquor, gambling
equipment or, other contraband.
Finally. he charged that prison
officials hampered the investiga-
ton. telling four inmates they did
not have to testify, that the warden
told an inmate in position to give
damaging testimony Il will do
something for you when this blows
over, and that prison officials con-
spired to frame the escape OF in

Main Issue '
The main issue involved in the
proposed agreement is the recogni-
ton of the local as the sole bargain
ing agent OF the workers, and that
all workers join the union Tin fact
the local claims all employees now
are membersl and that all new en-
ployes become members within 80
days after being employed. Under
the clause would be voluntary
right for the members to have their
union dues deducted from their pay.
A member would not he required
to accept this "check-off".
The grievance, dismissal, and
seniority clauses OF the union pro.
posal are in substance, those now
in force. and Mr.. Baker indicated
satisfaction with them. but said he
thought they could be worded more
clearly.
He recommended that the work.
ers be placed on a uniform 40 hour
work week, but that the wages be
pro rated so that the budget would
not be increased over the presents,
figures. He contended that this
would simplify records, rates, and
provide a Arm base for future wage
adjustments. In connection with
the work week, he suggested that
the men be entitled to Is days per
year sick leave, the unused leave
to be cumulative to a certain limit.
The council committee was wholf)
heartedly in favor OF this point.
Other suggestions were that
man be entitled to four days OF for
funerals OF close members Of the
family. and that employees be allow
ed the following holidays OF, with
pay: New Years, Decoration Day,
Fourth Of July. Labor Day. Armis-
tice Day. Thanksgiving. and ChrissS
mas. or that, in event the men had
to work, the city either Cat the de-
psrtment heads opinion) pay the
men double time for that day. or
allow them a subsequent day on.
These were the main provisions
OF the proposal. Other items. such
as insurance. discrimination, CLASH
fication OF work, and replacementI
were in effect the sans as those In
the present arrangement. ana
would not constitute any change.
The committee explained that
they could only make a report to
the council as to the results OF the
meeting, but indicated that salts
factory arrangement may be formu-
lated. Mr.. Baker suggested thak,
the union officials meet with the
committee after they had studied
the question. and discuss any coun-
ter proposals they may have. He
agreed to give the committee the
necessary time to complete their
study. and assured them that there
was no hurry.
The committee moved that Al
grievance Of Emil PARE. sewer de-
partment foreman. be settled by

had contended that he had been
