ager" is letter replying to the
question addressed to all City
Council candidates by Dan Deg
nan, also a candidate for one of
the nine Council posts.
In his letter stating three rea-
sons for his adherence to the
Schoonmaker a d m n istration,
Burke said, although not per-
feet, Schoonmaker is qualified
for the Job because he is good
civil and construction engineer,
knows municipal financing and
is the kind of a guy who in
spires loyalty and cooperation
on those who work for him.
In his second point, Burke
stated that she (Schoonmaker)
was great guy and hero +. .
until he refused to grab his hat
and coat and run when the pub
Usher ((of the Toledo Blade)
said come" Burke defended
the City Manager saying, you
don't make that much of a
change so quick unless you
suddenly go nuts, and haven't
seen any guys in white coats
carrying a straitjacket around
the City Hail."
Stating in his third point that
"one of my most important rea-
sons for supporting S C n o n
maker is that under his admins
tration Labor has received a
decent and equitable break. "
Burke replied to the charge that
is being made against him that
he has been captured by CIO,
"Hell, I'm one of the founders
of CIO and proud of it."
He informed Mr.. Degnan that
Tol ID o doesn't have any of
Philadelphia's "r eyre t t b e
errors" in labor disputes or any
of Chicago's Memorial Days"
but 'have, at present the rather
novel idea that possibly the guy
who carries a dinner bucket has
some rights of. citizenship and is
entitled to as much protection
from his government as has the
inanimate place in which he
works"
Burke has been a consistent
supporter of the Schoonmaker
administration during the past
two terms he has served in City
Council.
