We prefer, however, we shall be right, and we feel that In the negotiations which you have so ably conducted with the warring powers you have been fair, patient, humane and indulgent, and more than that you have been absolutely right In each and every con tention, and If any foreign power so con ducts Its warfare as to violate the tenets of humanity, interferes with the rights and privileges of American citizens, or persists In unjustifiably killing our citizens, we be lieve the most drastic punishment should be meted out to them, and we pledge you our loyal support and assistance. 53-DAY WAGE LAW DIES AMENDMENT BY COISCIL rRACTI CALLY BBPE.ILS MEASIRE. Mr. Daly'a Plan to Force Municipal Contractors to Pay Minimum Scale Being Torn Asunder. Commissioner Daly's minimum wage ordinance which was passed by the Council early this year to force all municipal contractors to pay a mini mum wage of $3 a day to laborers, now lies in the Council archives suffering from the merciless extraction of its vitals by the same body that brought it into existence. The Council upon recommendation of City Attorney LaRoche yesterday amended the ordinance by taking out the provision making it applicable to street and sewer contracts. Inasmuch as these contracts were about all that was affected by the measure in the first place, the amendment means virtually the repeal of the entire measure. The purpose of the amendment was to prevent the City Council from get ting into financial troubles with prop erty owners by forcing the property- owners to pay more than the going wage for workmen. It is held that the Council is merely the agent of the property owner and has no right to force the owner to pay excessive rates for services performed. Two contracts have been awarded under the provisions of the ordinance. These furnish grounds for a test of the validity of the ordinance, according to Mr. LaRoche. He says there is a grave question as to the validity of the measure and therefoje the possibility of the Council getting into deep water by letting the measure stand with its teeth still in. A large number of bids have been opened for street and sewer work and the contracts have been awarded but not formally signed. In these cases the Council decided yesterday that the contractors can take their chances with the contracts- if they desire. If they do not wish to take a chance on the ordinance being held invalid they can go ahead with their work as soon as the contracts are signed. Since the enactment of the ordinance, the low bidders on sewer work have for the most part been Syrians and Italians. These classes organize into partnerships and do their own con tracting and their own work. Each workman being a party to the contract and no labor being employed, the aliens can underbid the white contractors be cause they do not have to pay . the minimum wage.

VETERANS SUPPORT WILSON Scout Young Camp Sends Telegram on German-American Situation. Pledging their support to the United States Government in any difficulties in which it may become involved over the German-American situation, membera of Scout Young Camp, Spanish War lalue of Expert Service to Avoid 'Wastage Realized, Asserted Op portunities Here Pointed Out. Opportunities for American industry to take advantage of the present sit uation abroad were pointed out by William Conger Morgan, professor of chemistry at Reed College, in an ad dress before the Rotary Club at its weekly luncheon at the Benson Hotel. I. M. Walker was chairman of the day. At the luncheon next Tuesday, which will be known as floral day. Queen Sybil Baker, of the Rose Festival, and her princesses and maids will attend. Professor Morgan's subject was "Re lations of Chemical Industry as Re vealed by the War." He told first of the organization of the whole business life of Germany and its close relation to the government. One business, he said, , fits into another, so there is a close co ordination and absence of waste and loet motion. Many businesses are tin der the direct control of the govern ment, which prescribes the regulations of industry, said the speaker. "The German monopoly In the manu facture of potassium salts makes it Im possible for anyone in this country to compete in that industry," he said. "'We can go inlo the dye business, if it is worth while, or we can put our money Into other thirgs that pay better for which we are more naturally fitted. "We have been absolutely foolish iii this country in handli ncr our rKrtii rH We waste 150,000,000 tons of lumber in a yesr and we waste 1.000,000.000 cubic yards of gas a day. "The older countries know the value of expert service to avoid wastage and It will be found here that investment in experts will in time pay big dividends." A FAR.
