Not only was the office of Building
Inspector restored at theimeeting of
the Board of Estimate and Taxation
but instead of 81.800 being given him
for salary and expenses. the sum of
$2,500 was appropriated. This was
done by Mayor Calvin L. Barton
splitting a 3-3 vote on the matter,
when William McMahon, William H.
Malone and John H. Coates voted
against the adoption of the item, and
Fred A. Quintard. Henry J. Hipson
and Mark M. Henderson had voted in
the aflirmutive. »
This action came after Mr. Mc—
Mahon had made the suggestion that
the. omce of fire chief and building
inspector be combined, and that a
bigger salary be given [or it.
This brought Mayor Barton to his
feet and he said "\V’e are. not going to
appoint the fire chief as building in-
spector. You are trying to make
a monkey out of this, but it won't

“outlawing" the railroad unions now

Federation of Lab01.ina statement
tonight, as ‘utterlv Bolsheg
in character” and an attempt by the
Board to disbnnd unions at will. The
iuli11c.l\lr. Gompers ad ..led was pal-

"The action of the Board." his
statement continued. “is ‘exactly reph-
ca. of the action of Communists in
turning the unions into government
controlled agencies for the carrying
out or the orders of the state. Free-
dor: of expression of action. The
Board undertakes to say that unions

cease to exist—they are “outlawed.

assumption of authority on the part
of the board is immaterial. 1t ls'tne
