ALL EMPLOYES
Members of the street committee pf
the city executive board announced yes
terday that there will be no more de-
lay in street Improvements ; and all'
' contractors who fa to . flntah their
' work on tlma will be fined. Tbla action
' followed the unusual request of George
Simon, manager of the Pacific v Bridge
v company, . which has many " contract
' with the city,. that the committee "take
- tana etepa to prevent xne aeiaya wnicn
' ava arisen In eitv imorovement work;
Simons said that the reason some of
the contractor are ao lar oenind in
, Ihelr work is due to the great number
. or contracts they sign up wiin the city.
He aald that with so much work on
- their hands the contractors are unable
to finish the work on contract time and
stioum Da- lined . according to agree-
. '. The' committee and the city executive
. board have been very lenient with the
- contractors la granting them extensions
of time for completing work, and in the
case or Harry Howard nave, granted ex
; tensions amounting to about a year on
one contract alone. Inasmuch aa there
- are provisions for Tinea for each day
the contractor runs over the contract
tlmevtha city could make it unpleasant
. for the men engaged In the improve-.
.... in fin worn.
- There haa been no disposition on the
part of the committee to hinder the con
tractors In finishing their work or em-
arise in finishing street Improvements
: and .other city work, but because of
the fact that they seldom hold a meet
ing at which they are not requested to
, grant extensions Of time, decided that

court at Chicago will Injuriously affect
about 600 express company employes In
Oregon, preventing- them from receiving
or sending- any package by express with
out the full rates being paid to the ex
press company carrying tne same, it
la asserted with considerable confi
dence by en press company officials that
the decision will riot stand in an appeal
to hlirher courts." --
Tha. court order forbids express com
panies to issue franks to rneir orriciais,
attorneys at law, agents and employes
or their families, or to other express
company officials and employes or to
railroad officials ana employes. - i ne
court declares that such Issuance of free

ranks ot tne army or transportation

The decision applies to all the ex

by some of the men affected that the
decision is calculated to render the in
