demanding to know why the lake is
no longer open to the public.

parts of the city. Acting on numerous

water was found to be unusually free
from germs despite the limited area
Of the lake.
To satisfy a demand that conditions
at the pool be improved steps were
taken to clean out the lake. Arrange
ments to change the water continually
also were made. Fresh water thrown
into the lake is first aerated by being
sprayed through the air. Surface wa

O'Clock this afternoon. President w.
d. Mahon of the union said that the

higher than they were last summer.
Prices this year. it is said, are sched-

Several reasons are given for the in
crease. There have been unsettled
conditions in mining all over the coun-
try, due to labor trouble.
Railroads, those that can do so, are
buying coal and storing it in prepara-
ton for the traffic emergency which
the possible strike of railroad train
men will create. If the New York
conference does not end in a satisfac-
tory settlement and the employees vote
to strike those railroads will attempt
to break the strike and run trains.
They are storing the coal so as not to
be hampered by being compelled to
put train crews on coal movements.
