Plumbers Union Asks Water Bd.
to Change Policy Of Employ
Ing Men to Make Pipe Con-
neCtions-Ask Supt. GTieve.
NO ACTION TAKEN IN MATTER

Union plumbers last night regis
tered a protest against the policy of
the water board in employing labor
ers to make pipe connections. Su-
perintendent Thomas Grieve reported
to the board last night that a delega-
ton had stopped him just before the
= -mnss9ng outside of city hall and
asked for some definite answer to
their contention. Some time ago a
letter from the plumbers union was
sent the board asking that union
plumbers be employed in the making
of pipe connections. The board re-
piled to the communication stating
that they were willing to employ
union plumbers whenever it was
found that plumbers were needed.
The water department has now
one union plumber and machinist in
its employ, and Superintend ent
Grieve contends that no more plumb
ers are needed, as most of the de-
partment's work is of a nature not
requiring the skill of a plumber.
He told the board last night that
there had already been protests at
the cost of placing service pipes in
making connections In houses, and
that if it were necessary to employ
union men it would make the price
to the consumer much higher. He
: said the union plumbers only de-
sired to lay the pipes and make the
connUctions, whereas another force
of laborers would be necessary to dig
the holes, replace the dirt, cart the
pipes, etc. This is now all done by
the employees of the department, who
F. are not plumbers by trade. Mr..
Grieve declared that 1t required no
special knowledge to make connec-
tions, and that most of the work in
placing service lines was the dig
ging of the trenches and covering G
same. AS the board received no for
NAL communication from the union,
no action was taken in the matter.
Patrick J. White & Sons were the
lowest of two concerns bidding on
the furnishing and laying of about
forty feet of eight-inch steam piping
to connect the new boiler at Runyon
with the steam pumps. The local
concerns bid was s675. M. w. Kelly
& Company, of New York, was the
only other bidder, their figure being
$715. The concern will do the work
-ment, and make no additional charge
for overtime work. The job is to be
completed in twenty working days.
A communication was received
from the Chicago Bridge & Iron
Works asking what color the steel
standpipe, for which a foundation
has been constructed at the poor
farm, should be painted before the
sections left the factory, The board
decided that the color should be
black, with oxide of lead paint.
The extension of a water main
into Keene street was discussed, be-
ing brought to the attention of the
board by Hugh Timmif1s. 1t was
pointed out that there are now twen
ty houses On the street without city
water. The matter will be further
considered by the pipe committee.

MEDIATION MAY
FAIL, BUT HOPE
NOT ABANDONED

opec1ut OU CHlteu fTeS3 wire.
Washington, June 1S:-For the
first time since the Mexican media
ton negotiations actually were be-
gun, it was admitted at the White
House today that there exists a pos
sibility of their failure. Hope has
not been abandoned, but the fact
that the Huerta government has is
sued their side of the correspondence
was considered as highly unfavor-
able. In addition 1t was admitted
that the split between Carranza and
Villa had furnished the Huerta
delegates at Niagara Falls with an
argument against submitting to the
selection of a constitutional provi-
sional government.
The only bright spot in the situa-
tion is admitted by the spokesman
for the administration was that Villa
would prove more manageable than
CarranZa had been. A report brought
to the White House by Representa-
tive Kent, of California, that Car
rama had fed from Saltillo and was
enroute to Laredo, Texas, found no
confirmation.

Villas plan to elevate General
Angeles to the presidency would
please Washington officials who know
the Mexicans to be OF liberal views
and friendly to this country. Secre-
tary Bryan characterized as prema-
ture that the mediators are to an

candidates for the new provisional
government by tomorrow.
Bryan made 1t plain today that
the mediators have of their own IN
of which has been withheld, but
which contains names OF the Leading
Mexicans, both neutral and men OF
constitutionalist sympathy. He be-
lieves there may be change, as IN
this list are names on which an
agreement might be reached. Bryan
admitted that the action of the Mex
lean representatives in making pub
lie their explanation Of the failure to
agree on names was complete sur
prise, but, he said that the Mexicans
were entirely within their rights In
doing so and said the American re-
ply would probably be made public

Reports received at the state de-
partment today from its representa-
tives in constitutionalist territory
conflicted, as to the relations be-
tween Carranza and Villa. General
Hanna at Monterey said that he had

state department expects to get the
facts OF the situation some time today

QUESTION As To
TAKING REFUSE
FROM FACT0R|ES

The question as to whether
garbage collectors are obliged to take
refuse from manufacturing places,
or need not remove such remains,
mas been put up to the Board of
Aldermen by II. Rippen, a tobacco
dealer and cigar maker of Division
street. Mayor Ferd Garretson and
other city officials have ruled that
the garbage collectors are not
Obliged to remove such refuse. their
duty being to take ordinary garbage
from households and places of busi-
ness. When the subject was again
brought before the mayor today, he
said, why, the big American Smelt-
ing q Refining Company or the Rari-
tan Copper Works might as we'll ask
the garbage collectors to haul away
the refuse left after they have re-
ceived for manufacture what Is de-
sired as to have the collectors re-
move tobacco refuse and the like
from the Rippen or any other fac
tory" In the opinion of the execu-
tive it would be the duty of the
garbage contractors to remove refuse
from a restaurant a large plant
might have.
Both Mr.. Rippen and the Perth
Amboy Cigar Company have appeal
ed TO the mayor. He ruled against
them and yesterday Mr.. Rippen sent
a letter to the Board of Aldermen, as
follows:
June II, ,19i4,
Board of Aldermen,
Perth Amboy, n. j.
Gentlemen -
AS taxpayers of this city we re-
spectfully call your attention to the
inconvenience we and other factory
and store owners of this city are put
to in the matter of disposing of their
garbage.
we have an accumulation of less
than three barrels weekly; the firm
holding the city's garbage removal
contract claim that this contract does
not cover garbage removal from fac
tories and stores, and accordingly
refuse to remove our accumulation
We were also unable to obtain per
mission from them to dump our
garbage on their grounds, using our
own wagon. This city of 35, 900 and
more population is without public
dumping ground. We are willing to
use our own removal facilities. but
there is no place to which we can
take our garbage.
Without entering into a discus
sion of the wisdom of this city in
giving a garbage contract which fails
TO provide for factory and store
owners (probably the largest tax
paying class), it is very poor policy
on the part of the city to fail to pro-
vide at least public dumping
ground.
"The garbage contractors offer to
remove our garbage for us at the
modest rate of $104.00 annually.
Were 1t not for the short-sightedness
on the city's part to provide public
dumping grounds, we would not be
placed in such a position so that this
firm could demand so exorbitant a
sum for a service which this city
should render all taxpayers.
Very truly yours.
"H. RIPPEN."
Acknowledging that the city had
no public dumping grounds, Mayor
Garretson referred the complainants
to a terra Gotta company which, he
stated, was filling in pond and
might let them dump tobacco factory
refuse there. He stated that the
garbage contract was awarded by the
city to private concern and one of
the provisions of its contract was
that 1t must furnish suitable dump

MONA QUICKLY ENDS INDIGESTION
Eat Your Favorite Fond ard Never
 Fear After Distress

There is way for you to eat what ever your stomach craves and do it over again the next day. Many will say How I wish could but have tried and every time it nearly kills me-
 The real trouble is that people who suffer the untold agony of indigestion, do not properly care for the stomach.
 Every stomach has lot of work to perform in digesting the food and if crowded with extra labor 1t rebels and kicks up a fearful disturbance.
 Mi-o-na, 8 simple, harmless, mex pensive and most effective prescrip- ton, easily obtained at any drug store, will quickly stop this disturbance. Mi-o-na was especially prepared to regulate out-of- f-ortier stomachs. It not only helps the over-worked digestive organs by increasing the flow of gas- tric juices, but surely and safely builds up and strengthens the stom- ach walls so that the stomach can care for the food as nature intended.
 It's needless for you to suffer with indigestion, heartburn, bilious ness sour. gassy or upset stomach, for Mi-o-na should give prompt and last ing relief. Do not delay but get some of these health-Festoring tablets from Lee & Osgood today. If Mi-o-na does not banish all stomach distress, there will not be penny of expense.

stsel Arrows from AIrships.

The steel arrow used by German military aviators is an interesting re- version to mediaeval methods. But the most remarkable of hand-thrown steel missiles is the disc of the Sikhs Formerly this was the most terrible weapon of that warlike people. though various Hindu races have known it for centuries. Vishnu rimself is some sometimes represented holding disc in each hand.
 The disc weigl1tt eight ounces; 1t Is a sixth of an inch thick, and its dia- meter is eight inches. The edge is as keen as a razor. It is thrown as one throws flat pebbles to make ducks and dralxes. Its trajectory is fiat, and it's rotation during the flight causes a terrible wound. Sir Ralph Gallwey has experimented with it, He has thrown it two hundred yards. and it can sever an tnch-tnick branch without losing any appreciable velocity In old days the Sikh soldier carried a dozen.- Pau Mall Gazette.
