No vember 19. at the Palace hotel by AMENDMENT NO. 9 WINNING FAVOR Fire Alarm Operators Are Sure Voters Will Change Charter to Give Day Off Operators in the department of elec tricity have been working several weeks on their charter amendment No. 9, and are confident of success at the coming election. Owing to the smaller number of men involved, the amend ment has not received as much pub licity as amendment No. 5, relating to the two platoon change for the fire men, but those in charge believe that it will get popular support. One of the main objects of the pro posed amendment, which will furnish the first radical improvement since the department was established about 30 years ago, will be to give the eitj- em ployes the Mmc number of days off as other employes. At present operators seldom get a day off regular!;.- each week. The amendment also will provide for the first raise in pay. giving operators $150 a month Instead of $125. It is estimated that this will increase the hiidget by $17,420 a year, exclusive of the amount for the new men employed to make possible the day off. The operators have charge of the fire alarm system. They must be not only expert telegraphers but must have an exact and comprehensive knowledge of the city. From box number they must instantaneously recognize the lo cation and notify the proper engine house. Proper arrangements then must be made for shifting other apparatus to cover the district of the tsarina at the fire. Last December the bell alarm system in Market street was added. This alf«o musl i>e operated from the department <>f electricity to warn trafßc.

Congressman elect John I. Nolan, secretary of the council, spoke strongly in favor of the amendment, discussing it largely from the standpoint of Increased efficiency and benefit to the city Itself. San Francisco aerie No. 6 of the Fraternal Order of Eagles also indorsed the proposition by unanimous vote. Supe rior Judge E. P. Mogan was the principal speaker there. INDORSED BY WEILL Last week the local lodge No. 29 of the Order of Moose announced itself In favor of the 12 hour day for firemen, and a letter from the firemen to Raphael Weill, head of the White House, brought the following reply: "I am heart and soul with you In your efforts to establish this, one of the most humane and most just systems ever pre sented to the .voters of San Francisco. While It will undoubt edly give a stronger and more efficient service, it will also, which Is paramount in my Idea of right, or at least brotherly considera tion, give the time and opportunity for home life to the firemen." "The Labor council must look at the question largely from a humanitarian point of view, as the new system will provide a more humane workday," isaid Congressman elect Nolan last night before the labor council. "The movement is spreading throughout tbe country. Seattle has adopted it by a vote of more than two to one. Orriaha has used it for more than five years with great success, the only effect noticeable there being that the number of second alarms has been diminished, because the men are able to respond more promptly to the first alarm. Many of the firemen are buying homes for themselves, for they don't have to live so near the engine hoyse. Kansas City is another example." LOWER FIRE RATES Other speakers before the council said the change would lessen fire insurance rates, as the firemen would all be on hand when the alarms first came in, instead of coming from meals at their homes, and would be able to extinguish the fires in Shorter time, thus cutting flown the loss. "Home is the foundation of our government. The San Francisco fireman today has no home life. For 280 days and nights each year he must remain in the firehouse," said Judge Mogan at the meeting of the Eagles. "As a matter of justice and humanity, every citizen should vote for the two platoon system in the San Francisco fire department. The efficiency of the force will be increased and a perfect system established. If we have such a fire depart ment there will be no call for high insurance rates. - ' ARGUMENTS BY LIEUTENANT Lieutenant S. J. Spear of chemical No. 4 presented argu- * ments at that meeting for the two platoon system on the ground of increased efficiency. The number of men to man streams at the first arid most vital minutes would be increased, he said, and would often stop a fire that under the present system might be very serious before any headway could be made against it. ' "Apparatus does not extinguish fires," said Spear, "nor does a high pressure system. These are but instruments to be used by men, and if sufficient men do not arrive with the apparatus the efficiency of the department is impaired." A special charter amendments committee of the Civic League of Improvement Clubs, composed of the chairmen of the 25 standing committees of the league, will discuss this amendment today at a special meeting on charter amendments to be held at 1 p. m. in the assembly hall of the Mills building.
