Show IMPORTING LABORS for Fors a day or two considerable C indignation hag has bec been n i perceptible rc til b 0 among a a it portion of the citizens S of this town especially among tho tile business men and tho the laboring classes with regard I 1 to a report that the tile electric liht light I 1 co managers in salt lake city had sent up from there a large number of workingmen to labor on tho the new canal about to be dug in ogden canyon to furnish hish tho the motive works there it was stated that no less les le s than 70 men had been cent up hero for this purpose whereas scores of workingmen men with families dependent upon daily work for their daily bread b were idle standing on ts with their hands in their pockets and whistling whist lin away the despair of hard times such a course courso was naturally likely to provoke no little animosity and condemnation all the receipts of the electric light li 9 lit works in come out of tho the pockets of the people of ogden both directly from tho tile business men who patronize the illumination in their places and indirectly from every taxpayer inasmuch as the city contributes largely towards tho the revenue of tho the company named tho tile idea of drawing all the tile duoney from our ct citizens Zens and paying it out to strangers who have no interest in town who will not invest a cent in our business will spend spen f i very little here is not only absurd but wicked and unjust we admit that the ogden electric light company have not yet made a cent on their they have bad heavy assessments assessment 8 to pay with still heavier expenses staring them in the face as in the canal now about being dug to at the same time we hold that the company when letting out tile contract should first have given ogden 0 men a chance to compete second they should have made h a stipulation that whoever got the tile contract would employ all the help lie could get in ogden which furnishes fu the sinews of war fur for the establishment these truths were we wo are glad to state acknowledged by sir mr V M 0 silva tho the ogden manager and mr james horrocks Hor Ilor rocks the vice president of the company both of whom lent their best endeavors to having ogden men engaged in the tho labor we Weba have eeck a letter irom one ortho leading officials odthe of the elec i trie light co in which regret is expressed that the tile matter had gone out of their hands into the control of the contractors Aless rs OP pitts itts watson fe co etc it never uever have been allowed to go out of the companas Comp anys hands we have reason to believe that the tile company have had rather expensive experience ence with contract work before and we nye should think that they had enough of it likewise wise they should have taken warning from a former occurrence when laborers were imported from salt luke lake to bo be paid with ogden money w tho the contractors condrac tors above named probably realizing that there was sulphur in the air called on us U ay toda today to da day y abdur and mr pitt one of efthem them stated that having baving obtained tho tile contract for the ditch to bo be dug n ho lie lokeal cl about for men and on oil being told that he would not be able to get men in ogden he was corn com belled to pick up what material he could and by tho the looks of some of them on tho the streets today to day they needed picking up from way down lie ile eaid said he be had no idea that his action would bo be ree received Lived with such di ure the importation of tho the laborers labore rs from oin salt lake city had cost him it m considerable money which he lie would gladly bavo saved by employing ogden help there was every possibility of a large number of the hired hands dropping off shortly in in which case ho would install ogden laborers etc etc tho tile number of men ho lie brought up he be put at 45 43 now we will figure a little wo we wil split the diar difference arence between tile rumored d number of 70 and ilia his 45 and say there arc 60 50 laborers bo be sides tho the foremen skilled artisans nud others to whose bringing hero nobody objects receiving arm from to and board per day this makes at least per day As tho the work a 2400 ft ditch ia i admitted to require 30 days we gi biye ve mr pitts own figures this gives us outside of all inci den dentals extras and oilier other items which always occur though never foreseen foreE cen how much othia amount will bo be left here I 1 it t has to come out of ogden city and ogden citizens but how hov much will they get back do these wages which aro are largely underrated underrate AI clotho clothe tho the chil breh of oil our idle citizens dollic do they y caf pay tho the I 1 rent ent of our unemployed workmen do they feed tho the hungry mouths of tho families of our laborera labor cra whom tho the stringency odthe times has brought close to tho the ragged edge of destitution of course the contractor rs babon bavon a right cobiro to liiro what help they like and so havo have the liu business siness men ot of ogden city a right t to 0 protect themselves and their fellow citizens interests by retaliating in a manner mauner which will show tho the electric light co the tile necessity of considering the welfare of those from whom they want to derive their dividends the remedy is asin idour our peoples hands
