The Italians Are Not Satisfied with SI-IS
a Pay.
I'p to Tuesday evening the work at
East Side park went on in a most sat
isfactory manner but then trouble oc
curred which nearly ended In a riot. It
was quelled, however, by prompt action
of the contractors.
The? laborers engaged are mainly
Hungarians and Italians, and they got
along well together at tlrst. The Ital
ians, however, got It Into their heads
that they were not paid Enough and
demanded 11.25 Instead of $1.15. which
they have been receiving. Of course
their wishes were not compiled with
so they refused to work, and also tried
to prevent the Hungarians from con
tinuing. This was on Tuesday evening
and trouble was anticipated when work
was commenced yesterday morning. To
guard against any trouble which the
Italians might make. Constable Michael
Morn was asked to be on hand. When
the Italians inarched to the attack they
were surprised to bo confronted with
Moran for whom they have a most
wholesome fear. If any other man had
tried to stop them It would have been
useless, but "Micky's" constant Inter
course with the criminal class of Ital
ians has made him a terror to them.
The fifty Hungarians then went back
to work without fear of molestation.

Joint street committee of the councils,
together with the city solicitor, be
and Is hereby directed to meet as early
us possible und prepare u suitable or
dinance compelling the Carbondale
Traction company to equip each of its
cars now In use, and all other cars
which they may use fnm time to time,
with the best street car fender the mnr
kel affords, and to keep up with Im
provements In thut line. Tho fenders
are no to be more than four Inches
above track when in use."
