A--meeting of the Pavers’ Union was held last night at Electrical Workers’ Hall, 508 11th street northwest; President Wil- Nam Welch presided, with Edward P. Lynch as secretary. After the disposal of routine business the statement of- the Commissioners as com- municated to the Central Labor Union, and whith was published in Tuesday's Star, was considered,-and a statement was pre- pared which will be submitted to the Cen- tral Labor Union at the next meeting of that body. This counter statement of the pavers will not only question the statement of the Commissioners rela- tive to the wages paid those employed as Pavers on city work, but will recite several instances in which the pavers charge that the Commissioners have not only dealt un- fairly toward them, but the public also. Relative to the statement made by the Commissioners that those in their employ were being paid a liberal rate of wages the pavers state: “Those employed by the city government as pavers do not receive pavers’ wages, and practical pavers thus employed whose labor is worth $3 per day are only paid $1.75 per day, while the ‘skilled laborers,’ who at the best do very inferior work, are paid $1.50 per day. These pavers are mainly common laborers, who would not be employed by any responsible contractor, as their work is of such an in- ferior grade that it would be condemned by the public inspector.” The pavers also state that the wages of $8 is only paid to one man in a gang of eight or ten, who is recuired to lay out the work and instruct and supervise the others. They also cite instances when the force of city empié}es heve done work which should have properly been done by contract. The statement refers to the paving done for the Pintsch Gas Company. “This company, they state, “furnishes gas to the Pennsy vanja and Baltimore and Ohio railroad companies; that a main was extended from the plant down Maryland avenue, and therce to the stations of the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. A de- posit of $4,000 was required from the Pintsch Gas Company as security for the repair of the streets after the laying of the main.” It is further stated that “the Commissior ers contracted with the com- pany to replace the paving for the sum of the deposit, thus relieving the company from the respcnsibility of keeping the work in repair for five years, which is required of every contractor for street work.” Criticine the Comminsioners. The pavers severely censure this action of the Commissioners and regard it as in- jurious to the interests of the pavers who are employed by contractors, and who in this instance were substituted by common laborers, who were paid $1.50 per day, while competent pavers, who demanded $3 per day, were idle. ‘The pavers also refer to the letting of the contrect for the improving of Kentucky avenue and several streets in the south- east section of the city. They state in part that “the contract for the grading, curbing, laying of the brick sidewalks and putting in the cobble gutters was awarded to James Trawley, but notwithstanding this fact, all the work, with the exception of the grading, is being done by District em- ployes, under supervision of a District su- perintendent. As it is evident that the work is being done by the District after being awarded to Trawley, how does it occur that this contractor was relieved of his responsibility and bond?” It was stated, incidentally, that Traw- ley’s contract price for the work was too low for him to complete the work without lcss, and that he was relieved of the work now being done by the District. Work on County Roads. The pavers will also report to the Cen- tral. Labor Union the conditions under which, they state, the work is being done on the county roads. A prominent mem- ber of the union said: “We will bring to the attention of the central body the fact that paving and curbing jobs outside of the city, which the law requires to be done by the Commissioners at day’s work, are done exclusively by a few as private contractors, notwithstanding the fact that the law requires the work to be done by the day. None of the jobs exceed the day’s work limit of $1,000, yet the work is being done under contract methods, and a man named Beal seems to be the sub rosa ccntractor. We will send to the Central La- bor Union a statement in detail, and will re- quest that a committee call on the Com- missioners with this statement, and if nothing is accomplished in the interest of the pavers it will know that we are aware of some of the methods which may be recorded as questionable.” Hotel Barber Shops on Sunday. At the meeting last night of the Journey- men Berbers’ Local Union it was resolved to request the Central Labor Union to take action toward the closing of the hotel bar- ber shops on Sunday. A member of the union, in stating the action of his organi- zation in the matter, said: “We are determined to have the hotel barber shops closed on Sunday. It is a fact that these shops are kept open in fla- grant violation of the law. Why should they be permitted to run when other shops are forced to close we cannot understand. We wish to see the law enforced, because we are opposed to Sunday shaving. A bar- ber should have his Sunday as well as cthers, and we propose to do all we can to keep the shops closed on that day. “There is not a union hotel shop in the city, and though we have tried to get them to join our union they persistently refuse to do so, for the reason that if they joined our union they would not be permitied +o work on Sunday, and a refusal to do so weuld result in a summary discharge. “This was demonstrated a few days ago when the employes and foreman in a prom- inent hotel shop concluded to join our union, but when the hotel proprietor was informed of their conclusion he told the men that if they became members of any organization he would discharge them, as the shop must accommodate his patrons on Sunday, notwithstanding the law or the desire of the barbers. Under these con- ditions we are forced to resort to the law and will demand that it be strictly en- forced, even though it results in the prose- cution of every hotel proprietor in the clty. We do not propose to take snap judg- ment on these people; we will through proper committees from our union and the Central Labor Unton request the proprie- tors to close their shops en Sunday, and if they disregard our request we will see that the law is enforced.’ Central Labor Union. * The legislative committee of the Central Labor Union, composed of George A. Tracey, Michael P. Canty, J..J. Crowley, John A. Brett and D. B. Miller, met last night at Electrical Workers’ Hall and or- ganized by electing George A. Tracey chairman and M. P. Canty secretary. The committee considered some very im- portant business submitted to them by the central body, and the members are familiarizing themselves with several im- portant mensures which will be submitted to Congress during the coming session. — A PENSIONER’S DEATH.
