Gets Up Out of Wrong Side of the Bed i of May Meeting Spent in Disputes—Inves- tion of Auto Expenses Passed—Warm De- . . bate Over Printing after squabble occurred at peting of the common night and it was not until .

The printing of council reports and minutes was awarded to the Eastern Printing and Publishing company and the printing of the municipal record to the Record Publishing company. Alderman Jester wanted the report of the committee referred back as he could not understand an offer of a rebate by the Eastern company tor matter that is kept standing and which can be used again in subse- quent municipal publications. He wanted a flat rate and insisted on his motion. Councilman Curtis ex- plained the proposition to him. Coun- cilman Landers spoke in favor of sus- taining the committee and lauded the members for their thorough investi- gation. Alderman Jester's motion was lost. 5 Semi-Monthly . Pay. for. Employes. The ordinance - committee recom- mended an amendment to section 440 of the ordinances by which all city employes except heads ‘of depart- ments would, receive their salaries semi-monthly. Councilman Eichstaed was in favor of a weekly payment of salaries. The amendment was adopt- ed.. It does not include school teach- ers. Sweeping Ordinance.

An amendment to thé ‘ordinances would prohibit roller skating by chil- dren over fifteen years of age except between 7 a. m. and 7:30 p. m, and then’ mnot within‘ oneblock of any home which may be 'posted by a physician as thé “residence of a sick person. Skating would’be :prohibited where the abutting property owner objects. i At Alderman Kerwin wanted the amendment referred to the committee on ordinances and board of public safety and ° Aldermar Chamberlain thought there should be no skating on the streets. Councilman Curtis' con- sidered the ordinance O. K. He be- lieved, however, that there should be @ penalty attached. Councilman Dan- berg replied that he thought the pen- alty was a fine of not more than $500 6r not more than a month in - jail Councfiman Degnan referred to a petition to prohibit skating signed by fifty people and ‘said he could get a petition in favor of allowing the,chil- |, dren to skate signed by 5,000. Coun- cilman Paonessa told of his trips in his “bus wagon” and said children go along on one skate “like a. bird.” He was in favor of prohibiting skat- ing for the protection of the children. Alderman Jester said men who get, to . be forty-five or fifty years old are apt to forget they were ever young. He favored allowing the children to skate. Councilman McDonough made his maiden speech, saying that every se- cond person has.a different view of the matter and the recommendation of the committee was a compromise. Councilman Curtis offered a sugges- tion that skating on the streets be prohibited entirely, but later with- drew this. As Bad As “Tango Ordinance.” . “This is getting as bad as that tan- go dance,” remarked Alderman Par- ker. “Why not put it in the hands of the chief of police as we have done with coasting.?” Councilman Curtis moved that the matter be referred back to the ordi- nance committee. Alderman McCabe didn’'t think children should be allowed to skate on.the streets, Councilman McDonough remarked that he was under the impression that | he was under the impression that the committee - fixed the penalty at not more than: $5. A vote was taken on referring the amendment to the committee on or- | dinances and board of public safety. It was declared lost by Mayor Quig- ley and several voices said “Doubt the vote.” On’a rising vote the mayor was upheld. The original ordinance was adopted. Cemetery Lane Sewer Assessment. A report was received from Cor- poration Counsel J. E. Cooper stating DUST brishtening cleaning purpose three times a day in millions iny thousands of housewives who think 1d Dust is only for a few uses— Gold Dust should be used for cleaning everything. Gold Dust W works for you. It is most economical; it is most satis- < factory and it is most sanitary. It cannot scratch or harm any surface, and it will dissolve and remove ail dirt and grease. This active principle of Gold Dust is so remark- {ably thorough that you rinse away the dirt and a newness, a cleanness and a grease, leas Sc and larger packages sold everywhere (CEEEECFAIRBANKSSERET) that sewer assessments in Cemetery | Lane were perfectly just and legal and should stand as made. This was in reply to a kick against the assess- | ments by Alderman -McCabe at the | last meeting. As was expected Alderman McCabe had a word to say. He was told he was out of order as Councilman Cur- tis had made a motion to refer the matter to the board of public works and he was wandering from the sub- ject. The Curtis motion was adopted. | To Repair Aerial Truck, The board of public safety asked for permission to repair the - aerial | fire truck at a cost of not more than ' $700. Chairman E. B. Alling, on' request of the council, said the fly ladder is unsafe and a new one is needed. Rubber tires, a hand brake and a new axle are also to be secured. Alderman Jester thought it would be a good idea to “swap this wagon in.” Councilman Curtis was in favor of granting the request as he con- siders the fire department a sort of | insurance. The request was granted. The same board asked permission to buy two new horses for the fire de- partment and it was granted. On the report of the “steering” committee, Councilman Curtis ob- Jjected to the approval of the paving contract on East Main street by the | corporation counsel as the charter says contracts in excess of $300 must be approved by the council. On his motion the council was included with the corporation counsel as an ap- proving body. ' Subway Plans Changed. A recommendation was receied from the public works department tl.at it be authorized to conmstruct sub- ways in Lafayette street from Main | to Grove street at a cost of $10,500 and that $5,000 in additional subway bands be issued. Commissioner Cur- tis amended a motion to adopt that the subways be built only from Main to Washington street as the income from Washington to Grove streets would nat justify the ' expenditute. Companies using the - subway ducts pay the rental but the people eveni- ually foot the bills, he said. The rental would amount to $725.68 but the expense for a year, including in- terest on capital invested, would amount to $950, a poor investment. He hoped the council would put a check on subway. extension in outlying dis- tricts. Alderman Jester believed the pub- lic works department should be up- held. In reply to a question by Al- derman Parker, City Engineer W. H, Hall said the cost of subways frm Main to Washington streets wouid cost about $6,000, “If you want to get reduced tele- phone ‘and lighting rates you will never get them by building subways,” said Councilman Clrtis. : Alderman Jester favored, building subways to give work to the unem- ployed. - Councilman Paonessa took a view similar to Councilman Curtis. The council voted to build the sub- way from Main to Washington streets. Probe of Automobile Expenses. It was at this juncture that Coun- cilman Paonessa introduced his long awaited resolution calling for the ap- pointment of a committee to investi. gate the expenses incurred by run- ning ‘the street department automo- bile, He had previously estimated the expense at $860. Councilman Curtis asked for a re- port on ‘the matter from the board of public works and City Engineer Hall produced the following figures: Auto No. 1, June 1, 1914, to March 31, .1915, total expense $401.65, in- cluding $103.66 for repairs. Seven new tubes and eight new shoes were bought. The machine was run on an average of seventy-five miles per day, Auto No. 2, December 12, 1914 to March 31, 1915, total expense $241.77, including $59.67 for repairs. Four tubes and six shoes were ‘bought. Councilman Paonessa asked Mr., Hall his object in making the re- port. ¥ “He understood you were going to make a kick,” replied the mayor. Councilman Paonessa insisted that no harm would be done by passing the resolution. He did. not question Mr. Hall’s figures although they did not agree with his own. He said the board was paying too much for gasoline and was spendipg sixty cents a ‘gallon fi oil that should cost but twenty-eight cents. The resolution was adopted, Advisory Board of Nine. The council voted to appoint an advisory board of nine members to advise with the water board and board of public works in regard to the extension of water rights. This matter was first suggested by K Coun- cilman Curtis, although it was intro- duced into the council by Alderman Parker and Alderman Chamberlain, The committee consists of Mayor Quigley, chairman; A. J. Sloper, J. M. Halloran, George M. Landers, Pat- rick McCabe, Charles Glover, O. F. Curtis, W. L. Hatch and F, G. Platt. A petition for a tennis court at the Smalley school was referred to the school board and public amusement commission, The council adopted a resolution calling for the appointment of a for. estry committee of six. Resolutions calling for the construc- tion of a catch basin at the north end of High street and a fire alarm box at the corner of High and Broad streets, introduced by Alderman Mc- Cabe, were referred to the board of public works: and , board of public safety respectively. In reply to a question by Council- man Paonessa, Chairman W. B. Ross- | berg of the water department said that 'Edgar Rhoades, the municipal ice MOTHER GRAY'S SWEET POWDERS FOR GHILDREN, A CertainRaliet for Eeverishness, onstipatjon, ITon dacl “tomnch Troubles, Teethin ety Aoy o and D ostro B T A resgiar, Sioi: furmiied FRIE.

May 20—Al- though the majority of the topics un- der discussion at the Lake MohonXk Conference on International Arbitra- tion concern themselves with interna- tional relatios, Marcus M. Marks, pres- ident if the borough of Monhattan, New York, in an address before the conference today, urged close study of industrial peace in the United States, as a factor in International peace, and directed his hearers’ at- tention it how little was being done in this country to preserve industrial peace. He said in part: “Federal, state and eity govern- ments have totally inadequate ma- chinery to cope with the sen¢itive and far-reaching problems affecting the relations between employer and em- ploye. True, in some states and citles there are industrial arbitration boards, but they have but slight appropri- ations and are not recognized as bt- fits theyimportance of their task., Lauds Methods for Co-operation. “In view of the fact that strife be- tween employer and employe regard- ing the division of the fruits of labor is likely to continue for many years to come, it is high time that the pub- lic eye should be attracted to the need of studying methods for offic co- operation, not so much 1in strike set- tlement, important though that be, but more particularly in strike pre- vention. “Industrial discontent is caused largely by the fact that wages have not advanced sufficiently to permit the working people to satisfy the new craving for better living. Should Please Employes. “How can this situation best be dealth with? By strikes and lock- outs? Certainly not! They are ex- pensive and prove nothing of value. Employers should go to the limit of their ability to satisfy their employes. They should be receptive of every honest statement of grievances at any time and be patient and frank in ef- forts to remove every point of differ- ence. They should recognize the fact that we are going through a sens!- tive period of reconstruction of in- dustrial relations, and that during this process oil, rather than vinegar, should be used to lubricate the ma- chinery of production. “Canada shows us a simple plan for strike prevention. The ‘Canadian act’ has for the past eight years sys- pulsory investigation which is an tirely different matter. It me simply a delay of thirty days bef actual strike is permitted. Abou per-cent. of the strikes threaten: Canada during the eight years of operation of their ‘Industrial Disp Act,” which came up for investi before boards appointed under act, have been averted by this,v simple governmental device. Joint Trial Board, “For the first time in governm a system of joint trial board has 1| cently been introduced in the borou, of Manhattan. Formerly, a comm sioner heard charges against employ| and if he dismiissed a man, thé ter was,’ by etvil service rules, barred for two years from secu borough or city employment in department, The new plan e hearing ‘befdre a joint trial board Zour—two representatives of the ministration instead of one, and representatives of fellow employes lected by lot. These four advise dent of the borough what &fy) sion to makeé the case. In t seven trials held under this newp during the past ten months, the ° dict has been unanimous in each “Many appeals to the coufts be averted by the explanations forded by ‘these trials, and by elimination of any possibility of f judice.
