UNIVERSAL CONSTRUCTION COM
PANY THROWS DOWN GAUNT-
LET TO ASPHALT TRUST IN
QUEST OF STREET WORK CON.
TRACT-RATE WAR MAY BE
RESULT OF ACTION.

(From Portland Journal June 2S)
Another paving war was presaged
in the city executive board meeting
Yesterday afternoon when the bids
for the Improvement of many streets
in a large district in South Portland
with asphalt were opened and the
Universal Construction company, a
new firm, was found to have submit
ted at lowest bid, $204,S71.11. The
Barber Asphalt Paving company IT
is said, has hitherto enjoyed a mo-
nopoly Of all the big asphalt paving
contracts.
Less than two years ago a large
New York company attempted to en-
ter the local field, but the Barber
concern reduced the price Of asphalt
from $500 a yard to as low as Sl.5O
in two months The competing frn
was unable to get any large con
tracts, being underbid every time by
its strongly entrenched local rival.
Bid $1,000 Less.
r. B. Lamson, local representative
of the Universal Construction Co.,
Yesterday submitted a bid on the
largest Improvement district ever
made in the southern section of the
city. There was great surprise
among the scores Of contractors
present when the fact was learned

mandS
CREWS FURNISHED AT ONCE
Enormous Quantities of Food StufTs
Are Needed in Britain at Once, as
the United Kingdom Has Less
Than a Months Supply of Imported
Foods on Hand-Lines Must Yield
or People Go Hungry.


London, June 29.-The first break
in the great seamen's strike, which
has paralyzed English commerce
came today in Glasgow, when the
Anchor and Allen lines conceded in
full the recognition of the union, and
the increases in pay for which the
men went out. Crews for the ships
of the two lines were Immediately
furnished, and in labor circles the
victory is believed to be only the
first gain of a general triumph for
the seamen.
That something must be done tC
end the struggle, and at once, is the
view of Premier Asquith, who today
is bringing all the power of his po-
sition into play to bring about a set
tlement. Enormous quantities OF
foodstuffs are needed in Britain al
once, as the United Kingdom has less
than months supply of imported
foods on hand.
That the premier should be unable
to settle the war unless the ship
ping companies capitulate was
strongly intimated today by the lead
ers of the union, They issued q
statement blaming the officials of the
White Star for the trouble, and say
ing they would not return to work
unless all their demands were grant
ed in full,
The action of the Glasgow lines
was followed here today by the Gu
nard and Southern Pacific lines
which settled with the unions, ac
cording recognition and all other de
mands.

OLD BUILDING REMOVED
FROM COTTAGE STREET

After standing on a portion OF Cot
tage street, just a block or so north
of Union, for a period of 20 long
years. the VIM Hager residence is at
last to be removed, workmen taking
up the removal work for the city to-
day.
The residence is located in what is
known as VIM. Claggetts addition,
and when he plated it, for some un-
explainable reason he reserved 200
by 49 feet of the street. In the
course of time this tract was sold
and a residence built upon 1t. In
past years it has been allowed to re-
main unmolested but this year 1t had
to give way to street improvements
and condemnation proceedings were
brought against the property. Just
recently the present owner, Mrs. VIM,
Hager, was paid the appraised value
of the property by the city, and that
made the way clear for the removal
Of the house.

be on hand to identify the fugitives
II they are captured.
According to Van Gross, there were
five men in the gang although only
two appeared in the mail car. Those
in the mail car were young men and
one wore no mask. Van Gross says
he could readily Identify them.
After they had opened the regis
tered mail pouches" said Van Gross,
they examined the regular mail and
opened about 100 letters, They found
nothing of value and quit, While
they made Umstead pry at the door
Of the express car, we succeeded in
kicking several registered mail sacks
under the regular pouches and they
were not found by the robbers. The
bandits did not enter the express car
as reported because we convinced
them there was nothing in It and 80
they let Umstead quit his make-be-
lieve atetmpt to enter the car. Both
robbers were very nervous and they
acted as though they were new at
the business"
The bandit who first entered the
mail car was unmasked, When the
train stopped Conductor w. B. John
son walked toward the engine to as
certain the trouble. AS he neared
the mail car one of the robbers
stepped forward and leveled a gun at
Johnson and said:
GO back or ! shall blow your
brains out"
Johnson turned and walked quiet
ly back to the passenger coaches and
warned the passengers to hide their
valuables as the train was being held
up.
Deputy Sheriff Stewart and a posse
of five men left Roseburg early today
