DUNMOKK.
A meeting of the council took place
Thursday evening, and as was expected
was quite lively. The chief topic of
the evening was the acceptance of
bids for the lighting of the borough
which had been placed in the hands
of the electric light committee. Two
bids were handed in. one from the
Suburban Electric Light company for
$90 a light per year, and the other from
the- Dunmore Electric Light, Heat and
Power company, for $85 a light per
year, with an agreement to light the
borough building and fire company
nouses free of charge The report of the
committee was, that they had deemed
it advisable, to reject the bid of the
Dunmore Electric Light, Heat and
Power company. Chairman Haggerty
then arose and asked Mr. Medway to
take the chair and proceeded to tell the
committee, that they had errd in their
report, as all the members at a prev
ious meeting, had voted on advertising
for five year bids, and that the con
tract be awarded to the lowest bidder.
Mr Haggerty stated that one company
agreed to furnish the lights for $S5 a
year, and the other company wanted
$90. Still they wanted to reject the bids
and continue to pay till. 25 a year,
where they could save $500 a year. He
denounced it very strongly, saying It
was not only an outrage to the coun
cil, but also to the taxpayers of Dun
more. In whose interests they were
supposed to be working. He felt Dure
that the people wouid object 10 lliis
way of doing business. Burgess Duggan
then spoke He thought the council
should continue with the plans Hrst
adopted; that is, when they had adver
tised bids for a five year contract to
the lowest bidder, they should not try
to bulldoze the people by rejecting a
bid that was the lowest and would
save the borough to annually on every
light. "I object", he said, "as the bur
gess, as a citizen and as a taxpayer
to awarding the contract to the Subur
ban Electric Light company." He went
on to state that the above company had
been, doing for the past nine years, and
after a hot two hours debate Mr Ward
offered an amendment to the motion.
Instructing the secretary to communi
cate with both companies and request
them to re-bid on a five year contract.
All favored the amendment with the
exception of Mr Medaay. The street
commissioners time sheet amounted to
$1!J5.63, and the chief of police's time
sheet to $u0. Ilurgcss Duggan notified
the council that he had received a
communication from the Dime Hank,
stating that the borough account ha.'
been overdrawn to the amount of
$:i,700, and if same was not paid within
ten days, action will be brought
against the borough. Sundry other
matter was discussed, and bills to the
amount of $985.72 ordered paid, after
which they adjourned to meet on No
vember 12.

KU i ECTION BEGINS AT HOME
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Now that the people of this
country have made manifest by their
popular vote, that it la protection that
is needed to advance the interests and
welfare of our land, and that the mon
eyed powers that be have sworn to
protect the working man and do every
thing In their power to further his in
terests, I think that they cannot start
any too soon to put some of their theor
ies into practice and the first thing I
would suggest Is; that as charity be
gins at home, they start right here in
Scranton and protect our Scran ton in
dustries against outside cheap and ill
paid competition. All of us who are
residents and taxpayers of the city of
Scranton who are engaged In the build
ing trade have a great deal to com-
filuln of. The carpenter's wages are
elng cut down, our mills are not
being run to one-quarter their ca
pacity and all this to give way to the
outside . manufacturers who can,
through paying their men (skilled me
chanics at that.) lower wages than
some laborers are getting in Scranton,
send work Into our city and put It up
cheaper than it can be done at home
and on account of the home mechanics
having nothing to do In his own shoo
they hire him at their own pauper
terms to put their work up for them.
We have to live, but we would like
i it to be known that we have not spent
our whole lifetime learning a trade and
then In the end get no more remuner
ation for our work than the common
laborer. The carpenter who has thor
oughly learned his trade can and
should be classed with the other pro
fessions. A doctor In Scranton not long
ago told me lha,t he was entitled to
more pay for his work than a mechanic.
Ho said, we shouM take into account
the money expended upon his educa
tion; then he had to spend three years
in a hospital so that he should be
thoroughly conversant with the prac
tical side of his profession. Now then,
the practical carpenter or machinist, or
any other first-cluHs mechanic has to
serve from five to seven years appren
I ticeshlp for which he receives practl
; tally nothing. After his time is out
he starts in fur himself, thinking he
knows it all but very soon finds out
that he litis- only Just begun. This I
I am afraid is the case with many of
I our professional gentlemen also.
Then (if he ever Intends to excell at
his business) comes a life of continuous
study until after about twenty years
of this he becomes known as a pretty
fair workman and vet after the strug
gle of a lifetime lie amounts to no more
than the man who never studied five
minutes in his life.
A prominent contractor In Scranton
told me only a few weeks ago that he
was perfectly well aware of the fact
that the carpenters and other mechan
ics of Scranton were ill-paid and that
they should get at least one-third more
than they are getting at the present
time, and he himself would be willing
to pay it if It was ihjssHiIu to do so,
but they cannot on account of outride
competition und contractors figuring
down so close that it is impossible to
make nny profit on the material used.
Therefore, whatever profit Is gained Is
made out of the bone und sinew of labor
and the only way this can be done is
by cutting down labor's wages to the
lowest point possible. Therefore, we
ask for and claim the protection that
has been promised us so profusely of
late by the powers that be.
Here let me tell some of these people
who have had, or are about to have,
work done by these out of town people,
that the work can be done right here in
Scranton as well, If not better, and I
nm sure much cheaper In the long run.
The cost to them will be the same any
how for tho only people who will make
anything out of it pre the contractors
who have not the milling facilities to
get the work out themselves, and who
sublet this part of their work to the.se
out of town people regardless of the
fact that by so doing they are doing a
great Iniustlce to the home manufac
turer and mechanic, and often the ar
chitect, through whose Influence the
work is given to the outsider.
Now, the people of Scranton who
have the money to build these houses,
made it right here, and they should, as
far as possible, spend It here, I have a
great muny names of people who have
through their neglect and indifference
no doubt allowed their work to go out
of town. Some of them are the most
prominent citizens of Scranton. I am
sorry to say, but I think that If the
situation was brought plainly before
them that some of them at least would
never countenance it. but would have
it inserted in their contracts that all
the work, where possible, should be
done by home firms and I would sug
gest union labor. If you want a good
job employ none but union men and
you will pet It. This state of affairs
does not apply only to the building
trades. It Is the same in almost any
business you could mention. Tou
build yourself a new house; you then
will take a trip to New York and ran
sack that city and pay exorbitant pric
es for furniture and carpets to furnish
it with. After you return home and
are settled dwn, you find that you
could be better suited and could have
bought your goods much cheaper
right here In Scranton. This I know
to be a fact. I can quote an Instance
where there was about two thousand
dollars' worth of carpet bought in New
York for a certain residence In Scran
ton. After It was laid the greater part
of It was taken up and carpets which
gave better satisfaction were pur
chased at home and laid in place of It.
Take groceries again. People who
can afford It will send to New York and
other out of town cities for their teas,
sugar, coffees and canend goods, think
ing they are better and cheaper than
that sold in Scranton. but I can answer
you it Is not so. If you would only go
to your merchant with your order, tell
him what you want and pay him the
same that you pay the out of town peo
ple, I am sure he will furnish you with
as good, if not a better, article for your
mrmey.
Therefore you will see that it becomes
us to protect ourselves before we ge
gin to protect others. What I the In
terest of or.e Is the Interest of all. end
that by .protecting one branch of our
Industries we will do much towards
protecting the others. Our city Is a
growing city. In which we should all
take great pride, and we should do
everything in our power to keep up Its
reputation. And to thoroughly do that
we should advocate the protection of
our home manufactures and merchants,
see that labor is paid a fair day's pay
according to its worth, so that the me
chanic can educate his children and
keep such a home as becomes n resident
of this proud city of ours. Why should
not the man who works with his hr.nds
have the same privileges that he who
does not. He toils honestly, from morn
ing till night, day In and day out. and
he Is entitled to all that It Is within the
gift of this glorious country to give
him. So take your work to the home
manufacturer, tHl him what you want,
pay him the same that you would pay
an out of town firm, and I am sure you
will get all the satisfaction that It would
be possible to get anywhere in the land.
I would like to call this matter to the
attention of the iScranton board of
trade, that body of which up to the
present we have nil thought so much
und ask them If they are aware that
they are not at the present time act
ing to tbe best Interest of our rltv.
They should be the champions of this
cause, instead of being a party to the
transactions complained of. Let each
Individual concerned in this matter
take nn active part In protecting home
industry, and I am sure it will tend to
the welfare of us nil.
