onw Iiiii VULVAE rf 1 1 i Downes Dissatisf iedWithl fteport That Contractor Agrees to Employ Union Help i Salvatore Palumbo, contractor in charge of the construction of the new Pine Brook school, has promised to use union labor on the job, the Scran tou school board last night iutormed a joint committee of the Central Labor union and Buildisg Trades council. Joseph Downes, business agent of 'the Structural Iron Workers union, and spokesman for ths organized labor group, expressed himself as dissatisfied with the report contending the board should have inserted teeth in the measure "which would compel Palumbo to live up to his promise. Downes Assails Palumbo Downes launched into a tirade sgainst Palumbo. He recited the school board's report "Mr. Palumbo assured the committee that he had always used union labor and expected to continue to do so." The committee named in the report is the building committee oi the school Doara.

Downes stated Palumbo in the past was given over to the employment of non union labor and so far on the Pine Brook job he had sublet, the iron work to an open shop concern. Downes stated no local union iron worker would work on the job. Downes was informed by Directors D. R. Atherton and John H.

Williams that the report marked an end to the controversy despite his (Downes') opinions concerning the relative merits of union and non union labor. Downes contend Palumbo was not a responsible contractor but Directors Atherton ana Williams failed to agree with him. They pointed out that he was the lowest bidder and a responsible contractor in the opinion of the board and lur ther that he furnished a bond which insured completion of the work.

Sekol estimated the unmined tonnage underlying the school to be 7, 600 tons and he also estimated it would require 13,000 cubtc yards of sshes to fill the voids. The recommendations were referred to the mine cave committee. Sekol was instructed to negotiate for the purchase of the unmined coal.
