OPPOSED TO ITS POLICIES Clause Asked in Behalf of Interna tional Electrical Workers Other Concessions Made. If the Improvements planned by the '. 'Central Union Telephone company for (this city are cot carried out, It wilt be because of th action of the city coun cil last night In exacting: conditions -'which the company declares f'are opposed to the policies of the corporation. This is in re Jgard to the employment of union labor in the conduct and maintenance of the telephone plant. The 'members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical 4Workers, through Alderman Cochran, Introduced a clause into the new tele phone ordinance calling upon the com pany to employ only union workers, to have a work day of nine hours, and to pay the union wage scale as respected in other cities where the unions have agreements with the company. The discussion of this clause took a large part of the time of the session 'last evening. ' C. H. Rottger, state su perintendent, and W. B. Mann, general 'attorney, . represented the company, and spoke against the proposed clause, saying that it was in opposition to the . policy of the company and that its ' adoption by the company would set a precedent that would make it necessary for the company to meet the same de mands all over the country. The com pany's representatives stated that they felt sure that the ordinance with this provision in it would be rejected by the company and that the proposed im provements for the city would be aban doned. Alderman McNealy and Attor ney P. H. Wells addressed the council In behalf of the electrical workers. Approve 0(h-r liausm. With the exception of the clause on union labor, the remainder of the ord ; lnance, as adopted by the council in Its committee of the whole session, will veTy likely meet with the approval cf the company. Several minor chang es are made in some of the sections, hut on the whole the ordinance was un changed. On motion of Alderman Ellinwood, a clause was added providing that in caK9 the Are limits of the city are changed or enlarged at a future date, the ordinance will direct that the wires cf the company in the added limits be tS, (aericam red cnossj , V placed underground. The company's representatives intimated that this con cession will be made by the company. Alderman Ellinwood also suggested a provision for a committee consisting of the mayor, the president of the com pany, and a third person to be chosen by them, to arbitrate any disagree ments over rate charges which might come up in the future. This clause was adopted and inserted in the ordin ance. To Bear Court Comtm. A section was added to the ordin ance calling upon the company to pay to the city the sum of $3,500 upon the adoption of the new ordinance, this amount being paid for the purpose of covering the cost of litigation which has been going on for some time in the courts. With the agreement of the represen tatives of the company, there was a change giving 30 telephones for the use of the city officials instead of 20 as allowed in the draft submitted by the company. A clause in regard to the police and fire systems was also inserted. It was to the effect that if the city would supply material, the company would lay the -police- and fire cables in the underground conduit without charge to the city. - It was agreed, however, that the city must have its wire on hand when the work fop-the company is commenced. Turn Down Seventh. The aldermen from the Seventh ward attempted to insert a clause calling for the placing of the wires on the Seventh" ward boulevard under ground, but the council turned this down. Alderman Ilorst thereupon in troduced a resolutiou railing upon the ! company to reduce the number of poles j along the avenue to as small a number ' as poss.:V,e and to unite with other com- panics in this respect. This resolution was carried. Mr. Mann explained on ; behalf of the company that the placing I of the wires underground along this avenue would cost the company about $"5,000, and that the other wards in the j ( city would in all probability follow suit j and make similar requests. j i I j WIH Report Monday. j The meeting was of the com- j i mittee of the whole. Nothing j ' except the telephone ordinance was ! considered, and it was gone over sec tion by section with the changes noted abovi?. The council will convene in regular session Monday evening. 'at which time the committee of the whole will submit its report anl the ordin ance wili he approved and si-nt back to the company. It is then up to the company to say whether or not the ordinance with ihc changes i.:aje by the council is still agreeable. MEETING FOR BOYS Rev. J. L. Vance to.

The walls of the reading room at the association building have been given much needed treatment and new lights are to be installed, making the room far more attractive than formerly.

Krusc Krothers, Formerly of This County, Iicport Big Crops. J. H. Kruse has returned from Swift Current, Sask.. Canada, to spend the winter with his mother and sister in South Heights, and brings back some interesting figures in re lation to the crop that he and his three brothers raised the past season. The Kruses were among the first to go into the Swift- Current district, which was once supposed to be too dry for ordinary farming. They have made a success of raising wheat and cats end now have 2,240 acres of choice land. Their wheat this year averaged 31 bushels per acre. They raised 26,000 bushels on about 900 acres. They also raised 12,700 bush els of oats, this grain going 76 bush els per acre. Wheat is worth 85 cents per bushel and oats 25 cents, the total value of the former being $22,100 and of the latter $3,175. Their threshing bill at 6 cents per bushel for oats and 9 cents for wheat was $3,102. Their total crop would fill 3 9 cars of 1,000 bushels capacity, and would keep one man busy one year and 22 days, Sundays included, hauling 100 bushels daily, to market it. To the public.
