CITY OFFICIALS
RECEIVE, BIDS ON 38TH ST. ST, SEWER
PWA Funds for for Warfleigh Project to Be Sought, City Engineer Says.
The Works Board today received bids on equipment rental and. material purchases for construction of the 38th St. sewer, to be built by the tunnel method.
Contracts can not be awarded until the Board recives authorization from the City Council. Preliminary work on the project started last week. City Engineer Henry B. Steeg said he will investigate bids and present recommendations to the Board Wednesday or Friday. Bids were divided into five sections. The complete unofficial

The City Council authorized the Warfleigh application last Monday and a copy of the resolution was mailed to Mayor Boetcher, who is
- vacationing a} Ludington, Mich.
Estimate of the cost has been raised to $182,000 because of a decision to include the Arden residential district north of the White River in the area to be served by
. w= the proposed sewer. This extension
&
will cost $12,328. The Circuit Court ruled invalid a contract for $145,000 on the project because it was not awarded to the lowest bidder several months ago. Under the original plan Warfleigh residents would have had to pay. all of the project costs.
LABOR PARTY RISE SEEN BY MAGAZINE
People Expect, but Don’t
Want It, Is Belief.
Times Special NEW YORK. July 25 —Most Americans expect that a strong labor party will estaglish itself in this country in the next 10 years— but they hope it won't’ This public sentiment is revealed today in the August issue of Fortune magazine, which. publishes the results of = another sampling of opinion by the - same methods which enabled Fortune to predict
the exact size of Mr. Roosevelt's
1936 majority with an error of less than 1 per cent. - # Other disclosures in this month’s Fortune Survey include: 1. Almost five out of every six Americans hope and expect the Republican Party will be going strong 10 years from now. 2. Eighty per cent of those now opposing Mr. Roosevelt are strong for the Republican Party, and 55 per cent of those approving of Roosevelt also favor its continua- ! hon,
are the general sales tax and the general property tax. Even the rich agree that they are more unfair than the income tax. 4. Only 12.8 per cent of the people would like 40 see a strong thirll party in the 1940 Presidential cam-
' paign. 5. Only 41.9 per cent of the peo-|
ple expect Roosevelt to be regarded as a national -hero 10 years from now. 6. The public would like to abolish tipping and pay flat service
‘Britain’ S Trades Boards Control Labor Conditions Where Self- Rule Fails).
Operates in Industries in Which Unilonization Hasn't| Progressed Enough to Make Voluntary Policy Of Government Whicahie.
grotate weekly wage changes are |
| . The two most unpopular taxes ;
_ (Webb Miller concludes his series on labor relations in Sweden and Great Britain with a dispatch on the British Trades Boards System.)
By WEBB MILLER ° (Copyright. 1938. by United. Press) LONDON, July 25.—The principal exception to the British policy of “self government in industry” is the system of trades boards set up to fix minimum wages and prevent sweatshop practices. The government would prefer to have capital and labor make voluntary agreements, but in ggme industries unioni2gtion has not progressed far enough td make a voluntary system workable. For those industries —there are 47 trades or branches of trades employing 1,250,000 per-
Boards Act now—the Government provides trades boards. . Those boards are made ip of an equal number of representatives of capital and labor plus independent members. The wage rates upon which the boards agree are subject td confirmation by the Ministry of Labor after which they are enforceable by civil and criminal law. Wage rates are fixed trade by trade upon the principle of what the individual industry can bear; they vary from time to time depending on general economic conditions and other factors inside the industry. A corps of 66 inspection officers is charged with the duty of enforcing the wage scales, receiving complaints and reviewing conditions in the factories affected. The Traders Boards System has made a good record in reducing strikes ‘and lockouts and in 1918 Parliament extended the functions of the Board. It empowered the Ministry of Labor to set up trade boards in any industry that lacked adequate machinery for regulating wages or where the lowness of the wage scale made regulation expedient. Scale Sometimes Deviates Oddly enough, it sometimes happens that the wage scale set up by the boards is higher than that paid to workers of a similar degree of skill in industries governed by voluntary agreements. That, however, is usually due to the varying economic conditions in different industries. Many employers found that the trades boards’ minimum wage scales protected them. against ‘competition of employers who sweated their la‘bor. In practice, the Ministry of Labor guides rather than gentrols the operations of the trades boards. If workers suspect there is a violation of the agreement, they can start court proceedings, but in 1936 there were only 19 cases of criminal procedure against employers.
ing agreements also have resulted in the setting up of joint industrial councils which now affect three million workers, principally in printing, flour milling, shoe manufacturing, pottery, merchant marine and paper making industries. The councils are composed of an equal number of representatives of employees and employers and function as permanent organizations. They often provide for voluntary conciliation and arbitration. Besides the questions of wages and hours, ‘the councils consider such matters as health of workers, safety training, apprentices, industrial education, research and means of utilizing workers’ practical knowledge in the industry.
that the councils were started to make possible a larger degree of selfgovernment in industry and not to promote compulsory arbitration or to bring about State interference in labor disputes. The councils are recognized by the Government as official consultative
their industries. The effectiveness of the council system is illustrated by the fact that nearly half the ag-

brought about through discussions between employee and employer representatives. The statutory functions of the British Ministry of Labor are exer- ( p cised by the Industrial Relations Section. Its duty is te encourage and assist in the setting up. of voluntary machinery for the settlement of labor disputes. The Industrial Relations Section maintains staffs in six industrial centers and keeps in constant touch with workers and employers. It never intervenes:in ‘a controversy unless one party to the dispute asks it to do so. In 1936 the officers of the Section participated in only 45 settlements of industrial controversies. If the Ministry of Labor thinks that an incipient dispute might be against the public interest, it can appoint a court of inquiry, which makes a report solely for the information of Parliament, public and the press.
BRANDT 0 INSPECT SIDEWALK PROJECT
Firm Ordered to TeaP Up And Refinish Walk.
Louis C. Brandt, Works Board president, will inspect construction of a sidewalk on English Ave. between Sherman Drive and Emerson Ave. by the Tri-State Construction Co. He was asked to do so by Robert K. Eby, Board president, after the Board ordered the Tri-State Co. to tear up and refinish about 300 feet of another sidewalk project it built on W. Washington St. City Engineer Henry B. Steeg refused to accept the job, claiming it was finished improperly, and the Beard ordered the walk refinished at the company’s expense.
