SINGLE MEN IN
WINNING GAME
Defeat Bensdicts at E. A. C
Clambake- Score 1876.

A baseball game between the mar
ried and single men was a feature of
the outing and Rhode Island clam
bake Of the Eagle Athletic Club that
was held yesterday at Pine Grove.
The single men won by a score of IL
to 6. The single men were captain
ed by William Petty and the married
men were c~aptained by Edward Koch.
The terrible drop of Joseph Hornsby
on the firing line for the single men
and Edward Peterson on the re-
ceiving end was the cause of the
downfall of the married men. Ed
ward Kock did the twirling for the
married men and Martin Hurley was
the receiving end. Val Beck was
the umpire for the first three innings,
but it is said favored the married
men so much that a kick was made
and Charles Larsen was substituted
in his stead.
The ball game was called at 1
O'Clock and the bake was served at
8 O'Clock. 1t was made and served
under the direction of William Day
ton, chef, assisted by the committee
composed of members Of the club.
The bake was voted to be one of the
best the organization has ever held.
There were about $50 present from
this city and neighboring places.

orous campaign conducted. Mrs.

ternoon, said today that the cam
paign will be conducted along the
lines suggested at Sea Girt by Mrs.
Borden Hartman, of New York, Ma
tional Organizer for the Wilson and
Marshall movement among women.

that women make the most of their
great opportunities to influence
votes. Organize Woodrow Wilson
Clubs" she said, "GiVe teas at which

NEGOTIATE To
SETTLE STRIKE
Electrical Workers Believe
Bosses Will Sign Agreement.

Negotiations for a settlement of
the electrical strike in this city are
under way, according to a statement
of the striking journeymen. In
their statement issued today. they
take exception to what has been
said by some of the boss electricians.
They deny that all negotiations for
a settlement are off, and on the
other hand say they are leading to a
settlement, as is demonstrated by the
fact hat ]. B. Kubinak, of this city;
DoIan Brothers, of South Amboy,
and c.. Moran of Railway have
signed their agreement.
The statement issued today by To-
cal union, No. 358, International
Brotherhood of Electrical Works,
follows:
cat a special meeting of local 958
Electricians Union Friday, August
10th, the action of the arbitration
committee in reference to calling off
the men until such time Is an agree
ment between the contractors and
the union could be reached, was ap-
proved by a unanimous vote of the
local. The arbitration committee was
also instructed to arrange for an
other meeting with the contractors.
Three of the contractors have
signed the new agreements and are
getting along smoothly with their
work.
1.-THE party who CAV out the con-
tractors side of the matter, made
some mistakes as to the true cause
of the strike; whereby it appeared
in the paper that the union were ask
ing a raise of from $3.50 to $1.90
per day for apprentices, which is not
true, as we have no scale set for
apprentices. But you will note from
the agreement, which the contractors
drew up and wanted the union to
sign, that they wanted to reduce
first year helpers from $1.75 to $1.50
per day and lose a half day Satur-
days, also the second year Aelpers
from $2-25 to $500 a day and lose
a half day on Saturdays. Journey
men to remain at $3.50 a day until
January l., 1913, and lose a half
day Saturdays; also a number of ad-
ditional tools to be supplied by
journeymen and helpers.
at appeared in the papers that the
union demanded a full days pay for
a half days work ON Saturdays. The
meaning of section 4 was that the
union claimed a half holiday and it
was understood between the contrac-
tors and the committee that before
the agreement was signed the clause
was to be changed to read that way,
so that the meaning would be clear
err and in harmony with section Z.
"There are about % members in
the union, of whom about IA are
affected by the strike"
The old agreement provides for
$3.50 a day for journeymen, $1.75
a day for first year helpers and
$2.25 a day for second year helpers.
The union men have prepared an
agreement whereby they ask for
81 a day for journeymen, $3.50 a
day for first year helpers and $2.25
a day for second year helpers, with
four hours on Saturday to constitute
a days work. The contractors have
prepared agreements with a sliding
scale, whereby j~ourneymen are to
receive 43A cents an hour until
January 1, and after that a gradual
increase until "a a day is reached
at the end of about Ave years; s1.50
a day for first year helpers and $3.50
a day for second year helpers.

BLOCKED PATH
OF FIRE CO.'S
Firemen to Complain to Al
dermen About Trolleys.

Attention of the Board of Aldermen
will be called by the fire department the
way both trolley companies obstruct
fire apparatus while answering an
alarm of fire. Instead of coming to a
~standstill at the first tap as in other
cities the local motormen are charged
with racing along side of the appar-
atus to gain a switch. The firemen
while answering a false alarm yesterday
afternoon were again shown just how
the trolley companies disregard the
rulings of the city in this matter.
Several neal accidents have been re-
ported. Yesterday as the new truck
and both apparatus Of Lincoln Engine
Company crossed State and Smith street
a trolley car blocked their path and
time lost. When returning from the fire
a Jersey Central Traction car blocked
the progress of the hook and ladder
which was forced to stop to allow the
car to proceed.
Chief Comings in an interview with
a NEWS reporter stated that he would
take the matter up with Alderman Law
renee Dalton who is chairman of the
fire committee. 1t is the request of the
chief that the council enforce the mat,
ter and communicate with both the
Public Service and Jersey Central Trac-
ton Company, instructing them to obey
the city regulations, under a penalty.
Many of the fremen are up in arms
against the reckless driving of the
chiefs wagon when the chief is not a
passenger. Yesterday afternoon the
horse was raced up Smith street to the
scene of the supposed blaze with no of.
fetal of the department as a passenger
TIL emembers claim that the chief Is
wagon cannot be lawfully driven at
such a speed only at the direction of
the chief.

HIS SYMPATHIES WITH ELK
Somewhat Natural, Since Animal Rec
cued Engineer From ~Extromely
Awkward Position.

A curious story Of adventure Gomez
from Montana. While a freight train
was lying over at a small mountain
station, the engineer borrowed a shot.
gun and started out for a short hunt.
Finding nothing, he vas returning to
the train when a COW came running at
him, and before he realized his dan.
ger, she tossed him in the air.
Getting to his feet as quickly az
possible, he lodged behind a tree,
and then, to his dismay, found that
the gun barrel was bent so as to be
useless. The next ten minutes were
very lively ones, while the COW chased
the engineer round and round the
tree. Just when he was about to sue,
cumb from fatigue, an angry snort was
heard, and a big elk appeared upon
the scene, head down and prepared
for a fight.
So was the COW, and in another mo.
ment the two animals dashed at each
other. The engineer watched the com,
bat for a few minutes, until prudence
suggested that he should make a re.
treat as soon as he could. He re.
gained the train in safety, and never
know the outcome Of the battle, but
he hopes the elk was the victor.
