THE AVENUE BLOCKED.
Railway Construction Work Seriously AT
fects the City's Traffic.

The present condition of Washing
ton avenue. between Twenty fifth ana
Twenty -siNth streets. was very freely
discussed on the streets last night it
being the concensus Of opinion that
some action should be taken at once
to have the tllcroughfare opened to We
hicles on one side of the street car
tracks /.
AS the matter now stands, it is i'm
possible for any sort of q vehicle to
pass the square. which is torn up by
1.-The construction gang of the Newport
News and Old Point Railway and Elec-
trio Company. The center of the street
is being dug up for a number of fee.
toward each sidewalk. for the double
tracking of the avenue, and the dirt
from the excavation is piled on either
side Of the thoroughfare, blocking it
from curb to curb.
This condition Of affairs is considered
| depicf'able for several reasons in gener-
al. and one in particular.
The complete blocking of a street
means great deal Of inconvenience
10 the people of Newport News. espe-
cially one Of the most important blocks
in the entire city. At present the de-
livery wagons, and. in fact. all vehi-
cles, have TO go entirely around the
square to get from the corner of
street to the corner immediately above.
From the standpoint of safety in
case of fire, something should be done
at once. I f there happened to be a
fire in the blocked section, or below it,
the fire department would be greatly
handicapped in reaching the scene of
the conHagra tfon. The engines and hose
wagon might be forced to 60 three
| blocks out CT their Way in order to get
TO the burning building.
No one realizes this condition of af-
fairs more plainly than does Chief
Stove, of the department. 1t was in
view OF this fact. that he yesterday
Went to the foreman of the construc-
zion gang and asked him to pile
all Of the dirt on one side OF the
street. leaving theotfer free to the pub
lie.
This request. for some unknown rea-
son. was refused by the man in uues-
ton. Chief Stove. Of course, could do
nothing about it, but he will call the
attention of the authorities to the mat
ter in the immediate future

STRIKE SITUATION.
| Colored 'LonEshoremen Still Out and
Virtually No Change Yesterday.


Mr. Jack Mariner, the stevedore for
t'urness, Witty & Co. and who han
dies all of the longshoremen who
load and unload the Chesapeake & Ohio
steamships. returned here yesterday
morning after an absence of several
days. 1t was reported that Mr. Mari
ner went away to get white iongshore-
men to take the places Of the colore1
union men who are now out on strike
MIR. Mariner brought no men back
With him. 1t is understood, however,
that he will have a sufficient number
of white men here in a few days to do
all Of the work for the Furness, Witty
ships.
There were no new developments yes
tcrday in the strike. AS far as can be
learned the colored men have not noti-
fled the International Longshoremen's
Association of their stand.
1t lis reported that a representative
OF the national organization is in the
city and that efforts are being made to
induce the freight handlers working for
the coastwise transportation companit S
and the railroad to join the union

ANOTHER ! !. N n j INDUSTRY D
May be Established Here by
Or. Leon Labonde.
WANTS SOME ASSURANCE
From tho City of Newport News. Thinks
James River Sand Ia the Best
on Earth for Paving
Material.

The chances for this city securing
another large plant are very good at
lpresent.a and the probability is that one
Twill be established here in the course
Iof twelve months.
1t is learned from a thoroughly re-
liable source that DR.. Leon Labonde is
| considering the establishment in this
| city of a plant for the manufacture of
Eaving materials.
| The we'll known chemical expert has
previously made a great many Of the
bricks and other materials which are
| used in his paving process. and they
have always proved to be the greatest
success.
Some days ago he wrote to Mayor
Moss as to the paving which is to be
done by this city. sending specitica-
tons Of the material he has invented
and asking Mr.. Moss to bring the mat
ter to the attention of the authorities
to be considered when the paving ques-
| ton is TIA ken up.
| The circumstances under which the
chemist Will locate a plant here make
| 1t very probable that his scheme Will
not be unsuccessful. Tor one thing he
is backed by plenty of capital and that
goes long way in the establishing of
any enterprise.
DR.. Labonde's idea is to interest this
capital in the building of a plant here.
and If he cam get any encourag cement
from the city of Newport News there
can he no question but that the plant
twill come here.
