Deadlock Still Exists i'm the
Railroad Dispute in
New York City
NATIONWIDE STRIKE
STILL THREATENING
An All Night Session Was Held-Unless
a Change Comes Soon President viii
son May Be Called Upon by the
Board to Intervene.

NEW YORK, Aug. IL. - After de
liberating the greater part of the night
Commissioners Chambers, Knapp and
Hanger of the United States board of
mediation and Cancellation were today
no nearer solution of the deadlock
in the dispute between the four rail
road brotherhoods and their EMPLOYERS
than they were yesterday.
The efforts of the mediators to avert
nation wide strike were virtually at
halt due to the fact, it was reported,
that the railroads refuse to grant any
concession other than arbitration, while
the men hold to their firm stand for the
granting Of their demands for an eight
hour day and time and a half for over
time.
\ formal request for "a hours delay
in the negotiations was made by the
federal board to the union men today
, and it was reported that the board, I'M
less there was an unexpected change in
the situation III that time, was pre-
pared to suggest to President Wilson
that he intervene.
Mr.. Hanger, who appeared at the
meeting to ask for the delay, took pains
to point out, however, that no particular
significance could be attached to the
sudden change in their plans. He said
that the board expected to continue its
deliberations throughout the day and
that by night fall some decision might
be reached as to the time of the next
meeting with one of the other side of
the dispute.

WIRELESS CALLS
AROUSE NEW YORK
May Have Come from the German Mer-
chant Submarine Bremen, EN- Route
TO This Country.

NEW YORK, Aug IL. - Two strange
wireless calls for "telefunken station,
New York." heard at Sandy Hook be
tween ! and 3 clock this morning, and
the refusal of the sender to disclose his
identity, lead to the supposition that
the call might be from the German sub
marine Bremen. The caller signed his
messages with the signal "DBU, :"
which is the private signal of the North
German Lloyd steamer Breslau, believed
to be tied up in the port of New Or
leans.
The mysterious caller would say only
that he was on board a coal steamer
All German ships before the war used
the telefunken call.

MRS. KIMBALL TO LEAVE INN.
Will Give Up Saxtons River Hostelry
October l.

Mrs. L. b. Kimball, who has been in
charge of the Inn at Saxtons River, has
notified the syndicate which owns the
place that she will sever her connection
with it October /. Members of the syn
dicate held a meeting upon receipt of
the notice, but what the future of the
Saxtons River hotel will be is not
known. Although Mrs. Kimball has been
conducting the Inn in a manner that is
not often found in a small village it has
not been patronized on as large a scale
as to make it advisable for her to con
tinue, it is believed The meals served
at the Inn have been especially good.
Because the general belief is that
Vermont academy will not reopen in
the fall the natural supposition is there
win be even less patronage next winter
than last year.
