ing Mayor Kdding.

The following articles on the saloon
question appeared in issues of the Times
the past few days.
At a largely attended meeting of Wa
tertown Central Labor Union, held Fri
day evening, many matters of import
ance to organized labor were brought up
and discussed. Among other things was
the reading of copy of letter sent to
Mayor Charles A. Kading by Cigarmak
ers Local Union No. 381, wherein they
deplOred the fact of the closing Of saloons
on Sunday in WatertOwn, stating that
eventually such action would greatly
injure the cigarmakers trade in this
city. The letter also expressed the
opinion that the mayor was not inter
esting himself as much as he should in
the interests not only of the working
men, but also Of the business men of
WatertOwn, on the "blue law" question.
After the reading of the c0mmunica-
tion, that part referring to Sunday
closing and the mayors apparent lack
of interest in the matter, was unani-
mously endorsed by rising vote. The
following local unions are represented
in the Central body: .Cigarmakers, Car
penters Sheetmetal Workers, Printers,
Brewers and Maltsters, Plumbers, Tailors,
Painters. Bartenders. BARRIERS, Boot and
Shoe Workers.

MAY SETTLE THE WATER PROBLEM
Little Rock Company
 Agrees to Demands, But Asks for Time.

Little Rock, July 29.-A settlement of the long-standing controversy be- tween the city of Little Rock and the water company seems nearer a con- summation.
 The company agrees to all the de- mands that have been made by the city for the improvement of it's plant to provide an adequate supply of water for public and domestic con- sumption. but it is asking seventeen months in which to install its new machinery and this is causing some complaints among the citizens who ask immediate relief.
 There are some, also who think that the company should be forced to seek some other source of supply than the Arkansas river. It has not been dem- onstrated whether sufficient supply can be gotten from deep wells, and opinions liffer upon that subject. II is predicted that the time is coming when the city will be obliged to look sewhere. for it's water supply. The present franchise has seventeen years to run yet.

 Secretary McAdoo explained that the country never was in a better po- stion to send some of it's millions abroad and declared there was nothing to fear from the drain to meet Euro pean demands.
 It was pointed out also that while Europe just now was drawing upon America's gold supply. the money would 500 nbe back to pay for the vast quantities of food supplies this country would be called upon to ship across the water.

New York. July 29.-Not since the panicky days of 1907 has such excite ment and enxiety prevailed on the New York stock exchange as today The fact that this was the only open market in the world that was free and unrestricted caused the excite ment to be intense.
 For tiNs filtt time in history, Lon don failed to send over prices for Americans and this added to the anxiety.

 He then escaped with a confederate who had acted as rear guard. Two hundred United States soldiers are sarching for them.
 Although Jesse James has been dead thirty years and the Dalton boys a decade, the Yellowstone bandit set up d new mark for stage coach rob- bers.

While the sack was being filled. the last stage of the caravan drove up. Driver Frazier took in the situation at a glance. turned about and drove back to the Old Stateville Inn to give the alarm.
 After each passenger had given his contribution, the bandit who had re- mained in the timber made his ap. pearance and the pair mounted their horses and rode away.

It is probable that all Austrian and Hungarin ministers win soon go to Budapest.
 This city is now thronged with persons who come here immediately after receiving news of the outbreak of war, from the various summer re- sorts. The enthusiasm of the last few days continues and the departure of soldiers for the front is attended by thousands who sing patriotic songs.
 Demonstrators before the GeIndRn and Italian embassies continued throughout last night. and collections made for the families of the reserv- ists who are going to war have brought large sums. A great amount of money has been contributed to the Red Cross.
 There is dark side, however. for in consequence of the ifficulty of \
