wGH MASTER
Nd A PUBLIC
bCALE NEEDED
Ster loft to Discuss Mat
With Aldermen at Com
littee Session Tonight.
NS SOME COAL DEALERS
[ GIVE SHORT TONS

Bealer of Weights and Measures
{nry Toft will confer with the
lard of Aldermen at their commit
Ie session tonight relative to sever
matters pertaining to his office,
1 hong them being the establishment
II designation by the council of a
{ublic platform scale and the ap-
3ointment of weigh master to
preside over the balance. Mr.. loft,
In his endeavor to have a platform
scale designated by the council and
turned over to public use, aims a
blow at some of the local coal deal
ers, who, he claims, make a prac-
tice of selling underweight TONS
Should the council members favor
Mr.. Toft's suggestion, residents Of
this city will in short time be able
to ascertain whether or not they are
being cheated in the purchase of
fuel. 1t is Mr.. Toft's idea that this
city follow the example of Newark
and designate certain platform
scale-whether or not 1t belongs to
a coal dealer Is immaterial-have 1t
tested and adjusted, and then
thrown open to public use. To main
tain scale of this kind, however,
1t will be necessary that a weigh
master be appointed. He may be
the owner of the scale or one of his
employees or private individual. In
Newark the weighmaster is entitle
to charge fee not to exceed twenty
five cents for weighing each load Of
coal, ice, or any other contents OF a
vehicle, and the local sealer believes
it would be well to establish the
same fee here.
Payment Of the fee provides for
the weighing and re-weighing of any
vehicle once empty and again load
ed. The weighmaster then furnish
es a certificate OF weight to the
driver of the vehicle, who in turn
delivers 1t to the purchaser of the
vehicles contents. The weighmas-
ter is required to furnish bond OF
800 In Newark for the faithful
execution of his duties.
Mr.. Toft has in mind two scales
conveniently located that could be
used. One is the property of c. M
Peterson & Company, coal dealers,
and Is located at Smith street and
the Central railroad; the other is
situated In WashlngIon street, out.

! The sealer will also request IL
night that the weights and measurd
ordinance be amended to invest him
with the power of confiscating scales
that are out of balance and beyond
repair. At the present time Mr.. Toft
may take possession of scale only
on the condition that he employ il
as evidence in bringing actor
against shop-keeper. In finding 6
deficit scale Mr.. Toft now gives the
owner ten days notice to have the
balance adjusted or secure a new
one. In order that the scale may
not be used in the interim, Mr.. Toft
desires that he be given the author,
ity to confiscate the balance imme.
diately on finding 1t out of adjust.

BIG RAILROAD
eE2l!!KE AFFECT
$4,000 MEN
Special by United Press Wire.

Washington, July 1:-Represen-
tatives of the conductors and train
men of all southwestern railroads,
scale and working conditions, said
today that they expect to call a
strike this afternoon, which would
involve $4,000 men, 1t was consid-
cred very doubtful whether the rail-
roads would concede to the demand,
as the men were prepared to call
the strike from this city on short no
tice. They have been seeking a set
tlemen by arbitration for two
months. Representatives have been
here comforting with railroad Off
cials for two weeks.
The lines involved are: The At
lantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air
Line, Southern railway. Queen &
Crescent, Mobile & Ohio, Georgia,
Southern & Florida. Central r. R.
of Georgia, and other smaller lines.
A strike would block traffic In Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida and in portions
of Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi
and Louisiana.
The men claim that 10000 train
men and conductors are ready to
stop work at the first signal for a
strike This, they argue, would tie
up all trains. Enginemen, yardmen
and all men involved in the opera
tion of the railroads would have to
stop work, they say. The wage in
crease demanded averages from fif-
teen to thirty per cent.

EXCISE BOARD is AT TER
WHOLESALE DEALERS

Being of the opinion that a mis-
take has been made in allowing
some wholesale liquor dealers to do
business without a license here IN
the past the Board OF Excise Com
missioners, 1t is understood, are go
ing to compel three Wholesale deal
ers to take out regular wholesale
licenses under the city,s excise ordi-
nance. They are Jacob Castelbaum,
David Spitzer & Son and j N. Peter
son.
Believing the governments permit
ted them to vend liquor in fve-gal-
Ion lots or more without a license,
th ese dealers have been doing bust
ness for years without a license
other than paying the regulation
government tax.

1t has leaked out in some way that

some of the New England papers are
beginning to sympathize with the
Green Mountain State in what they are
pleased to call its decadence. On the
contrary, we think that Vermont is to
be congratulated 1t has probably not
kept UP with It's neighbors in growth
of population; but when 1t studies the
population increases in other States
its people may well comfort themselves
with the reflection that 1t is men and
not mere numbers that make u

ty good sort, and Vermont Demo-
Gratis are models of party fidelity. What
they believe they believe, because they
have thought it out for themselves,

their lack of population they deserve
