Commissioner Accuses His Col
leagues cf Unjust Action in
Reversing Decision cn
Police Salaries. -
City Commissioner Butler is
aroused because city council met
yesterday afternoon without notify
ing him and reversed the action
which it had taken in regular ses
" f-'on Thursday morning on the po
licemen'! request for endorsement
of their wage demands.
"These sudden and secret meet
ings are not only illegal, but they
ate unjust to the people," said Mr.
Sutler. "The law provides that no
special meeting shall be called with
out serving notice on the council
men. Yesterday afternoon's meet
in;,' was called and over with a sud
denness that was startling. I left
my ollice about 2 o'clock and was
out looking after street work until
about 5:30. Returning at that time.
1 found notice on my desk that
mooting was to be held at 4 o'clock.
Of course the meeting was over
by that time and council had re
versed its morning decision.
"I learned that Commissioners
Ure "and Zimman voted just as they
had in the morning. Mayor Smith
changed his vote, explaining that he
did so because the minimum salary
figures for patrolmen and vdetectives
mentioned in the schedule turned
down at the morning session had
been removed.
The schedule endorsed by council
at its special meeting yesterday aft
ernoon will add about $78,000 to the
annual pay of the police department,
it is estimated. Commissioners Ure,
Zimman and Butler all sounded
notes of warning against giving the
policemen exhorbitant raises, point
ing out that the taxpayers will have
to stand the bill and that they will
hold the city council responsible to
a large degree.
The schedule now endorsed by a
vote of four out of the seven com
missioners gives maximum salaries
ranging from $10 to $25 higher than
the 20 to 50 per cent raises en
dorsed by council last TuesMay.
It is agreed, however, that the
council shall determine by ordinance
what salaries shall be paid to men
in various grades up to the maxi
mums mentioned in the schedules.
"Eliminate Personal
: Feelings," Judge Day
Urges at Lodge Trial
"For the good- and wefrare of the
order," is the title of a little drama
being enacted in Judge Day's divi
sion of the district court.
The, case was brought by Louis
Pixlcy against Mayme Hedrick
Cleaver, grand chief of honor, and
other officers of the . state grand
lodge of the Degree , of Honor. .
It is alleged that these officers ap
propriated funds of the grand lodge
contrary to the rules of the order.
The whole situation harks back
to the disaffection which occurred
nearly a year ago among the mem
bers of Washington lodge No. 27,
of Omaha.
Mrs. Cleaver states that when she
visited Washington lodge during
last March, "the scene was tumul
tuous and the language vituperative."
Judge Day urged the litigants to
eliminate the personal feeling.
