Probably most of thelmembers Of the
council are free to admit that the jit-
neys should be regulated, but for all
that it seems to be we'll nigh impossi-
bic to "get anywhere with any kind
of an ordinance for the government of
the new transportation system. The
jitney men appear to have considerable
influence in certain quarters which,
coupled with the widespread feeling
against the street railway company, has
operated to delay action, and in the
meantime the city is losing revenue and
the travelling public is unprotected

the inevitable reaction comes, somebody

Two Persons Killed Yesterday as Wa

Both deaths occurred at Lima, where
the Ottawa river yesterday passed the
food crest of 1918.
An unidentified man was drowned yes
terday while attempting to rescue ma
,ocntd family.
Mrs. Laura Bercaw died in the hospi-
tai from burns received when the gas
heater in her home exploded as the
house became flooded. Her four children
were severely burned.
Rescuing parties of police, fremen and
volunteer citizens working in boats, saved
many persons from drowning.
At 1910 a. m. yesterday the Ottawa
rivers food stage passed the highest
mark reached in the 1918 flood. This put
900 more homes under water, making
the total number submerged about 2,200
Firemen and policemen in boats worked
INCREASINGLY during the day rescuing ma
rooned persons. Torrential rains in the
last few DAYS caused the food.
Several deaths are expected among in

The Question Is as to the
Confines of the
Strike

Bridgeport, Conn, July l7.--Prospect'
for avoiding the threatened strike OF ma
chinists at the plant of the Remington
Arms III. NJ. G. Co. as a result OF unior
differences, and possibly of machinists
throughout the city, apparently grew
less yesterday, with the announcement
from j. J. Keppler, international vice.
president OF the machinists, that strike
order would be issued last night calling
out the machinsts at the arms COM
pany's plant and in the city.
keppler returned TO Bridgeport yester-
day after a conference Thursday night at
New York, at which eight international
labor heads, rep santing the various or
CARNATIONS involved, President Samuel
6ompers Of the American Federation Of
Labor, and Daniel j. O'Keefe, represent.
ing Secretary of Labor Wilson, were pres
emit. 1t was not stated just what oc-
CURED at that conference. A meeting
of the labor heads was held in this city
during the afternoon yesterday at which
the whole situation was gone over.
At the mass meeting of the machinists
which was to be held last night, it was
expected a strike vote would be taken.
1t was understood that the questions to
come up were whether the strike shall
be confined to the arms company's plant,
or whether ii shall include the 20 or
more shops where work for the arms
is being done.
In his statement, Mr.. Keppler sail:
1--WE propose to fight this battle to the
end We have armies at our command,
but we do not intend TO put them all IN
the field at once. We are calling out to-
night all the machinists in factories do
