 With a quantity of sleeping, eating and 1ounging cars st the disposal of those employed in breaking the strike, the majority of the men brought here by the company recently have been in duced to remain with the result that no friction from outside sources has been observed for the past few days.
 It is the intention of the company if possible, to slowly re-enp1oy help to replace those now housed here by the company.

FILES CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST
 SPECIAL OFFICER
Police Commissioners Hear In-
 definite Complaint Against
 Joseph WargO.

At the regular monthly meeting of the board of police commissioners. held last evening, Max Wasserman 10S Walter street, an employe of the Singer Manufa curing Co.,, preferred charges against Special Policeman Joseph Wargo, a watchman in the employ of the Rem-U. M. c. Co.,. claiming that on some previous date said Wargo had wantonly assaulted him.
 The charges were presented in very meagre form, neither the time, dates place, nor reason of the assault being stated: The matter was dered laid on the table until a more specific charge is presented by Wass- erman.
 The following were appointed to the special police force: Frank A. De- laney, 695 Connecticut avenue, and Patrick Bulkley, 49 Edwin street, em- ployed as Watchmen at the American Chain Co. factory Connecticut avenue; John J. Rooney watchman in the employ of the Warren Bros. Co.,, laying Warrenite; Louis .Kurbs of 30 Garfield avenue, watchman at the Hawthorne Manufacturing Co.,; George F. Gore, watchman at the West End Coal Go. yards.
 The report of Superintendent Bir- mingham for the last four months was accepted. A report from De- partment Physician F. J. Adams in- formed the board that Policeman John J. Ha1pin, covering the Bank beat, would be fit to report for duty this morning, after long siege of ill., ness contracted from blood poisoning. pr. Adams also reported that Motor cycle Policeman James A. Burns, in jured in a, collision with a jitney car while riding through Seaaide park week ago would be unfit for duty for another week at least
 The claim for allowance for days off submitted by Policeman William R. Wolff who is suffering from blood poisoning contracted by a, cut July 23, caused little discussion, when Com missioner Lou P. Bristol offered a slight objection to the granting of the pohceman's demand.
 President Hill informed Commits sioner Bristol that policeman was unable to open the door of his locker with a key and was compelled to spring the lock with the aid of a jack-knffe. The knife slipped and caused a painful laceration to the palm of the policeman's left hand. Commissioner. Bristol withdrew his objection and Wolff was granted his days off with pay.
 A feature of the evenings session was the introduction to the other members of the board, by President George s. Hill, of the newly appoint ed commissioner, Joseph c. Stanley, purchasing agent at the plant of the Reming M. c. Co.,, who suc- ceeds Commissi oner William H. Brown, who resigned.
 President Hill reported that the ar rival of the new auto patrol had been delayed owing to a, failure to at- tach suitable lights on the vestibule of the machine. It is expected that it will be delivered on Thursday of this week.

POND WILL EXPLOIT
new PROP HOOK

: About May Russell G. Pond, of the
Upper Valley. will start on trip COW
ering several thousand miles, including
the fruit districts Of California, Colo
rado, Idaho, Washington and Oregon,
for the purpose Of introducing the
Pond prop hook to the growers of these
districts. Ia speaking of the inven-
tion Mf. Pond says:
Previous to 1918 the most eyasper-
ating problem annually encountered on
my ranch in the Upper Valley was that
of supporting the loaded branches-us-
ually spoken Of as proppinR. Until
that season, however, our trees were
young and bore spsringly. In 1913 we
had tremendous crop on our eight
year old Spitzenburgs and Newtowns
and 1t was absolutely essential that
some method Of artificial support be
provided to prevent breakage. Fol-
lowing the method most often seen in
the Lower Valley went to the mill,
got few wagon loads Of 2x3 scant-
lings, made an artificial crotch on one
end, pointed the other and put them
under the limbs most critically loaded.
1t took a great many, was a great deal
Of work and quite expensive. Again,
many of the smaller. more slender
limbs could not be propped this way
these were tied with twlne.
when finished | overlooked the
hardship gone through, feeling grateful
the task was completed and impending
damage forestalled. At that time clean
cultivation was in vogue and the verlt-
able thicket of scantlings did not seem
so Objectionable, for it was already the
last of July and cultivation was nearly
through. All in all, thought ! had
done well and so congratulated myself.
This was in the evening. The morning
had another story TO tell. for during
the night a severe wind had risen and
many of the props were thrown to the
ground taking apples and fruit spurs
with them. The sudden release had
proven too much for many of the limbs
and several big, heavily loaded ones
were sweeping in the dust mulch.
"0ut of this gloom came an idea.
The limbs ! had tied were still swaying
gracefully, yet knew tying as COM
monty practiced, and as had done, as
very expensive, both on account of the
labor and amount of tarred yarn con-
sumed. Again, tying involves getting
into the center of the trees with ones
body. causing damage to fruit spurs,
regardless of how careful one works.
The outcome of all this was the POND
prop hook, as placed on the market ir
