Whether to Adopt Resolutions
For Congress TO Investigate.

After a majority of the House COM
mittee on rules had acted adversely
on Congressman Keating's resolution
for an investigation OF the Colorado
coal strike and a similar resolution
by Representative Mcdonald to probe
Michigan labor troubles. Keating got
busy with House members. He had
little trouble to secure sufficient sig
natures for caucus call to take up
the subject A telegram received
states that there is good chances for
favorable action and that the caucus
would be held the latter part OF this
week. Once the matter comes to n
vote II will he adopted by big ma
jority, says Keating.
Members who voted against placing
these resolutions on the House calen-
dar for action contended the labor
troubles in Colorado and Michigan
showed no violations of federal laws
and should be handled to state author
tiles. II was also said that inasmuch
as the West Virginia mine trouble
was taken up by the Senate. that body
should be the one to consider these

Paris, Sept. 3.-A fight in the ain
took place over Paris. Three German
aeroplanes lowered over the capital
and Immediately two French ma.

Meanwhile rifles and machine guns
mounted on public buildings kept up

tors flew swiftly in its direction The
Germans opened fire, to which the
Frenchmen replied vigorously.
The engagement seemed to turn to
the disadvantage of the German, who
mounted speedily to a higher level
and, holding this position, was saved
from further attack. He finally dis
appeared in northwest direction over
Fort Romanville, after vain pursuit.
The other German aeroplanes also
escaped the fire of the guns and, after

DRIVERS BEING EDUcArEn

Drivers Of vehicles Of all kinds in this
city are being instructed in the rules
regarding traffic these days, in prepa-
ration for the traffic ordinance, which
will soon come before the council for
consideration and possible passage. By
application Of these rules many acci-
dents can be averted. The police are
requiring drivers to pay particular at
tention to driving on the right hand
side of the street, and as to turning
corners, and to pass other vehicles on
the left when approaching from be-
hind. Owners Of rigs who wish to
leave them standing on the strets must
have them facing in the right direc-
tion. Several local automobile drivers
rave been caught leaving their cars
racing the wrong way on the main
streets Of the city.
The city clerk has been instructed to
send to the headquarters Of the Mine
sofa League of Municipalities for a
copy Of q traffic ordinance and it is
probable that it will be brought up at
the regular meeting Of the council.

SAYS GAS PLANT WILL BIZ BUILT

Little Falls will have a gas plant
within a year, according to state
ment made by Frank G.. Boyle. one OF
the officials Of the Little Falls-D Darling
Gas company, who is in the city this
week.
Mr.. Boyle stated that the company
now has the financial support assured
and that work may be started on the
erection Of the gas plant this fall. He
makes no assurances but thinks that
the building will be completed bv next
spring.
The company has one years time in
which to have three miles of main put
in and at the end of that time must be
supplying gas to consumers. This pro-
vision of the franchise went into effect
On April 20 Of this year and expires
on that date in 1915, but another pro.
vision of the franchise gives them still
more time. This section states that
the gas company shall not be required
to do any installation work during the
months Of December, January, Febru-
ary, March or April, in any year, and
according to the way it is explained
by Mr.. Boyle, shall be construed to
mean that on any installation work
which the company shall be required to
do, they shall be given additional time
over that specified when the time dur
ing which the work must be done in
cludes the winter months mentioned
above. The reason for this clause in
the franchise, Mr.. Boyle states, is that
no mains can be laid during the win
ter months, when there is frost in the
ground.
If such is the meaning of the clause.
the company does not need to have
the three miles of main laid before
September 20 of next year, nearly a
year and half from the tine the
franchise was granted.
In speaking of the forfeiture of S25
per day by the company for failure to
file a plat of the work to be done. py
September l, Mr.. Doyle stated that the
company does not intend to ask for
an extension Of time again, but that
if the council will grant an extension
Of time, they will accept it. The bond
mo company will be notified of the
failure to file the plat It is stated
that the gas company will ask for a
rebate on the forfeiture after they
have part Of the plant installed.
