TRAINING SCHOOL
FOR CONTROLLERS
SCRANTON IS NOTHINCJ IT NOT
UP TO DATE.
Members of the Scranton Board Are
to Meet nnd Get Ideas Concerning
tho Best Manner of Managing the
Buildings In Their Wards J. F.
Hammls Entered n Piotest Against
the Board Awarding Contracts to
Contractors Who Do Not Employ
Union-Labor.
A school for school controllers Is Mr.
Jennings.' novel idea.
it was projected by him at last
night's meeting of the board of control
and Instantly sprang into general
favor.
The fit st session will be held Mon
duy, Sept 25.
It all came about through a statt
llng statement from Mi. Evans, of the
Fifteenth wards to the effect that the
coal bills foi last jear showed that It
cost $120 to hent a two-loom building
and only $122 to heat an eleveii-ioom
building, both buildings using the same
heating system. He coyly admitted
that the latter building was In his own
waid Mr lloche called Mr. Kvans'
attention to the fact that the construc
tion of buildings had quite us much to
do with the cost of heating as did tho
management of the furnaces and tho
like.
He suggested That the conti oilers
look into this matter of heating In their
respective dlstilcls and endeavor to
bring down the cost to the lowest pos
sible llguie.
Then Mr. Jennings sprang his school
for school conti oilers Iden. It was bo
cause of the fact that controllers were
Ignorant of the best ways and means
of piactlelng economy, he said, that
these exhoihltnnt bills weie conti acted.
Some schools, ln pointed out, weie con
ducted at a comparatively small ex
pense In the mnttet of heating, but
would be costly In some othei legal d
Other schools would be saving In text
books, but prodigal of statlonoty, and
so on The conttollers odght. to be In
structed nnd the only way for them to
learn the best means of conducting
their lespectlve schools was to have
an Intel change of Ideas
SUGGESTION MEETING.
Then he made a motion that at the
next meeting of the board, as much
time as could be spaied should be de
voted to "school " The controllers
should come prepared to offer sugges
tions for the betterment of their work,
and the superintendents of repalis, en
glneeilng and the like should be on
hand to contribute their knowledge on
the subjects that may be for discus
sion. The boaid assented to the Idea and
the motion prevailed unanlmouslv.
Some enlightenment in another dlree
tlon was furnished the controller by J.
F. Hammls of the executive committee
of the building trades council. U:
asked for the piivllege of the door
through Air fn'-ev and it being grant
ed him he pioceeded to enter a, protest
npainrt the school boaid's manner oM
uw aiding contracts.
"I came heie," ald Mi Hammls, ' to
protest. In the name of 20 000 trades
unionists against the ptomlseuous let
ting of contracts bv tho school board,
to s-cab bo?so and unfair contractors,
and ngainst tho further action of the
boaid in not giving us a chance to fig
ure on tho contracts.
"These unfair contractors lnlato the
state and municipal law bv hlilng alien
labor and worl.lng It nine and ten houisi
n day. We want a clause inserted In
j-nur contrncts compelling these con
tractors to live up to tho law, by hir
ing none but citizen labor and worklnc;
only eight hours a dav.
"Wo nlpo ask the favor of being given
nn oportunltv of flguting on jour
work Tho citizens of Scranton have
treated us very falrlv. Wo get nlne
tenthr of their work. Had It not heon
for tho board of control's management
the builders' exchange would not bo

Mr. Hammls concluded bv tolling1
how the rontiactois .allied with the
bulldeis' exchange nre In such dire
straits that they hire any old kind of
a mechanic that comes alonr and a
a consequence are unfitted to do a
good Job Tf the boaid wanted good
work done It should consult the build
ing trades council, he said.
Mr. Roche asked Mm in' rend a list

for electing No. 2 building were taken
