STRIKERS RETURN TO WORK
1900 of the 5000 Oil Workers Who
Are Out Have Sienifed Their In
tention of Going Back to Work.

New York, July 27.-Developments
in the strike situation at Bayonne, N
j., indicate that probably half of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
would return to work.
1t is estimated that 1900 men sig
nified their intention of returning to
work and that probably half of the
employees speak English or are Ameri-
can citizens.
Sheriff Kinkead said he had every
means to protect the men if they re-
turned to work and announced that
Supt G. B. Hennessy of the Standard
plant would have the works open at
the regular time.
An interesting feature of the day
was the arrest and unmasking as a
non-employe of jeremiah ]. Baly,
chairman of the strikers committee.
Vote to Strike.
Pottsyille, Pa, July 27.-Some 2GO
of the 400 employees in the Nitrate
Products company voted last night to
go on strike for an increase in wages
from 37E to IS cents an hour. A
squad of police were on duty at the
plant last night but no disorder was
reported.
Announcement was made last week
that the company had closed an or
der with the allies for guncottOn and
other explosives amounting to $5,-
10000 and that the capacity of the
plant would be doubled.
Longshoremen's Strike Ends.
New York, July 27.-The strike of
300 lOngshOremen of the Clyde
Steamship company and the Mallory
Steamship company, in progress
since last Tuesday, and which prom
ised to cause great delay in ship
ments, was ended last night. The
men were allowed concessions in
working hours and were granted an
increase of cents an hour for regu-
lar work and time and a half for Sun
days.
? Another Strike in Sight.
Bridgeport, Conn, July 27.-Unless
the labor situation at the Remington
Arms & Ammunition company's
plant is adjusted by Wednesday after
noon another strike will be called, &C
cording to J.J. Keppler, international
vice president of the machinists' un.
ion. :.
1t had been expected that all of the
strikers would be back at work yes
terday, after the announcement that
an agreement had been reached, but
arose when returning
strikers were refused employment.
say only about half
dozen 'agitators" were turned away,
but members of the machinists' union
assert the number reached $50.
When the ironworkers learned of
this they again walked out.

KEEP TORIGHT OF FLAG
All Drivers are Uuged to Obey City
Traffic Regulations.

What may be considered as warn
ing number two" to motor and horse
drawn vehicle drivers is being placed
today by the city police department.
Not very long ago the police depart
ment issued motorists rules in bulle-
tin form and these were distributed
by the department, about the city.
The centers of the corners about the
'city park were marked by white spots
on the pavement, around which driv-
ers were expected to keep on the
right hand side. In way these
markings and rulings have been dis
regarded and many accidents due to
carelesSness of drivers have happened
or have been narrowly averted
The next and new step OF the exec
utiveS has been to place in the center
OF every intersection on the principal
streets of the city little red flags.
These flags will be placed in piping
set in the pavement and will extend
only a few inches above the paving.
All cars going up or down these
streets or turning these corners will
be expected to keep to the right. The
advantage of the flags will be that
they may always be seen; while in
muddy weather the painted spots on
the brick were aften covered
The police department prefers to
give plenty of warning before taking
the matter in their own hands and
fining violators. Copies of the rules
and ordinances may be obtained from
the police department by calling at
the city hall, and it is hoped that all
drivers will comply willingly, and
help along in the safety first" move

WEEKLY WAR ANALYSIS.

correspondent.
= X X X y 4 X X = X x X X X X y X
Fear is beginning to develop among
the Teuton- -Bulgar-Turk allies that
Rumania will enter the war on the
side of the quadruple entente. Large
concentrations of Turkish troops are
occurring in Bulgaria near the Ru-
manian border and Austro-G German
forces are being moved across Hun
gary to positions threatening Ruma
MAS flank.
1t is probable Germany's announce
ment of the close of the Serbian cam
paign, while the Serbian main army
is still intact, is due primarily to the
necessity for threatening Rumania.
The Serb forces have been driven
from the Orient railway and German
communication with Turkey is con-
sequently established. But the work
of subjugating southern and western
Serbia still presents serious difficult
ties. Nevertheless, the German gen.
eral staff has abandoned all efforts
in those directions.
The Serb armies are capable of de-
veloping strong counter -offensives,
when properly reinforced, but it is
apparent that the Teutons believe the
possibility of Rumania's entrance in
to the war is the more pressing dan
ger of the two. For this reason
there is to be no further major fight
ing by the Teutons in Serbia while
the troops destined for that work are
being diverted to the Rumanian from
tier.
The Serbian job is only half finish
ed, and the Bulgars in the south may
soon find themselves in difficulties
with no German help near; but the
Rumanian peril must be guarded
against all hazards. This is the sit
uation which is developing in the
Balkans and which may eventually
lead to the devastation of Bulgaria.
Since the Germans are beginning
to fear the Rumanians, it is probable,

COMMISSIONERS STUMPED.

"What is unfair competition?'
The Federal Trade commission, af-
ter months Of trying to find out, is
about where it began on that ques-
ton. Ask a member what is un-
fair competition, he'll parry with the
plea that you ask him about some
individual case. Complaints to the
commission show that every sort of
competition which can't be met seems
unfair to the man who can't meet it;
and the defenses offered indicate that
anything goes in the rough and tum-
BILE game of business.
In the new cafeteria stores in some
places in the East, man may go
in, help himself and be checked out
at the door. That makes it possible,
say the merchants, to sell 15-cent
article for 13 cents. Grocers brand
such competition unfair.
Or take the chain-stores, buying in
large quantities at cut prices, even
on standard articles. Ordinary re-
tailers faunch and cave considerably
when they write the commission
about these establishments. They tell
about the big concern which sells a
20-cent article for Is cents in one
town and Is cents in another, to
crowd out competitor in the 15-
cent district. "We're big and enti-
tied to take advantage of our big
ness," such concerns tell the COM
mission.
Then there's the man who finds
that someone is initiating his first
class goods and selling slightly under
his price; the man who makes a
standard article and cannot keep some
retailers from knocking cent or two
off it's price to attract other trade.
There have been approximately 100
types Of complaints filed, ranging in
merit from what the commission con-
siders merely a case of more efficient
business conduct to number of
cases of downright skull duggery
There are state court decisions on
many cases, so that what is not fair
in one state is o. k. in another.
Wherefore the invitation. If anyone
thinks he knows what is unfair COM
petition, will he kindly drop a line
or two to the commission?

PLAN RIDICULOUS.

Everybody wants peace, even the
people in Europe. President Wilson
is desirousi of peace. No one will
question that he would gladly do
anything that would bring about
peace, especially permanent peace.
But President Wilson does not think
that the time is ripe for a peace move
ment.
Henry Ford who made his name
only in the manufacture, and who
knows nothing about the diplomatic
affairs of the world, thinks that he
can secure peace by sending a ship
to Europe with thousands Of people
to see the rulers of the country. Such
a move is ridiculous. But then he
may be doing it just to advertise
himself. e -

A Red Cross Christmas Seal costs
only one cent. That's not much, but
it means much.
Every seal you buy is a bullet in
the fight against tuberculosis. 1t
helps protect your country, your
neighbor, your family and yourself
from the disease and it's COST.
Tuberculosis is our most destruc-
tive disease. One person out of every
four in America who die between the
ages of IS and so, die from tuber-
culosis. It is chief cause of pow
erty.
But it is ,preventabe and conquer
able. This war, man against dis
ease, is winning war-not vast

war that pays; it brings prosperity.

paign by purchasing Christmas Seals?
