MOLTEN STREAM DUE
FROM MAYORS Quill
Will Write Special Message
on the Municipal Ice
Question.

Disguised with conditions in the
municipal ice business, Mayor George
A. Quigley will send a special message
to the common council calling for &C
ton of some sort Wednesday night, he
announced today.
Mayor Quigley has been doing some
personal Investigating and he is far
from pleased with conditions at the
ice house.
There has been a twenty per cent
shrinkage in the ice stored there since
June l." he said. I'm sections 8, 4
and the ice was piled twenty feet
high Today it is only sixteen feet
high. This, I believe, is on account
of the poor construction of the build
Ing and the fact that there is no VEN
tllation. 1 don't propose to be damned
for the mistakes of Others You can
read in my last message to the COM
mon council just how I felt about the
ice house,
That part of the message referred to
by Mayor Quigley is as follows:
THE municipal ice house is in a
very bad condition, due to faulty con-
struction and a building plan which
should not have been approved
ON all four sides the building is
oulslhg out, timbers due to heavy
straln nave cracked. the roof is sag
glng IN some places the concrete foun
datlon piers are crumbling, under the
runway where concrete piers should
have been placed pieces of pIanking
were placed which have settled, caus-
ing the runway to sag.
THE building has been braced but
I do not believe it will be possible to
place ice in the building again until it
has been practically rebuilt.
THE only verdict possible under the
circumstances is gross carelessness in
the planning, construction and super
vision of the building

l. Toledo, O., Aug. ia review of the

the national secretary, submitted at
today's session of the convention of
the federation. A recommendation
that the federation adopt resolution
urging the restoration of peace in Eu-
rope and that Catholic organizations
the world over be asked to partici-
pate in universal request for peace
was contained in the report, which
concluded with the announcement that
Pope Benedict had granted to all fed
Grafton members his apostolic benedic-
ton.
Affiliated with the federation, the
report shows, are thirty national or
CARNATIONS and twenty-five Catholic
institutions Many of these national
organizations are composed of natives
of the countries now at war, both alli-
ances of the belligerents being repre-
sented.
A special committee consisting of
the Rev. Richard H. Tierney and John

! called upon President Wilson and the
secretary and state and submitted to
the latter certified documents disclos-

In this connection it was said that
| the branch federation in St. Louis had
suppressed 81 1886 indecent and sugges-
tive post cards. A number of black
listed plays, several of which had been
reproduced in moving picture form,
had been suppressed throughout the
country by the federation's activities,
it was said, and the Introduction of
censorship laws in the legislatures of
various states was urged.
The most flourishing branch fedora

The report also said:
THE report showed that investiga-
tons were made to ascertain why

mate news regarding the persecution
of the church in Mexico and the rea-
son for suppressing the news of the

a verdict by a jury for 500 dam

| planatory letters on this matter from
the general manager of the Associat-

CORSET MAKERS AT
BRIDGEPORT STRIKE

ployes of Warner Bros.
Factory Quit Work.

Bridgeport, Aug. 1e.-Between
800 and 1900 employees of the
Warner Bros. factory, makers of cor
sets, struck today to enforce a de-
rnand for an eight hour day with pay
for ten hours. The plant employees
/ about 1900 people, it was said, and
the strikers expected that the others
would join them by night.
The company recently offered its
employees a working schedule of fifty
hours a week
The strikers are practically all
women and girls. The trouble
started it was said, when a number
of piece workers who should have
reported at seven-thirty rallied to APP
pear until eight o'clock. Some of the
others taking exception to this left
the shop but the majority did not go
out until some time later.
After they had left the factory the
women and girls gathered in excited
groups near the place and in a num-
her of instances were addressed by
their fellow workers, VINO mounted
soap boxes or other convenient stands
to make their harangues. There was
no disorder however.
George J. Bowen, and Frederick
Cedarholm, local labor leaders, met
the strikers during the afternoon and
a mass meeting was arranged for to-
night at which representations from
the American Federation Of Labor
will be present, including two women
1t was said at the office of the COM |
pany that the strike was due to a. |
misunderstanding of just what the I
workers were to receive under the |
schedule proposed by the firm, and it |
was expected that the trouble would |
be over in a day or two.

Fruit Prospects.

President f. +. Stephens Of the

Inmates that blight Will lessen the

to one-third, has received letter
from Professor NJ. B. Waite of Wash
ington, d. o., one Of the leading

letter is In reply to communicated
on the subject OF blight which Mr..
Stephens recently addressed to II. p.
Gould.
Mr.. Stephens states that the pre-
valence of blight from Colorado east,
over the greater portion OF the apple
growing district, will lessen the yield.
The overbearlng of the eastern or
chards In 1914, and letter from the
Apple Shippers association OF New

to believe that there is an encourag-

crop from the northwest at fair prices
