PLACE PR0GRESSIVES
ON COUNTY BOARDS
FOR REGISTRATION

Progressives will be represented on
every registration board, October 8.
Where there is a Democratic or a
Republican inspector, one of the
clerks will be Progressive.
Walter Lewis, Democratic county
chairman, agreed today, contrary to
his former plans, to this arrangement
with l.. S. Bowman, Republican coun-
ty chairman.
The law does not provide for rep
resentation of the Progressiyes
among the registration clerks. 1t pro-
vides that the clerks shall be appoint
ed upon the recommendations of the
county chairmen of the two political
parties registering the second and
third highest number of votes at the
preceding election. The Democrats
ranked second and the Republicans
were third.
The Progressives received the
highest number of votes If the spirit
of the law had been carried out by
the commissioners. they would have
appointed all Progressive inspectors
Of the board. Because of the decline
Of the Progressive party, the commits
sioners divided the inspectors equal
ly among the three leading parties.

.PENNSY PREPARES
TO PLACE Cement
DURING COLO DAYS

Cement construction work will be
conducted all through the winter on
the Pennsylvania east yard extern
sions. Necessary machinery to make
this possible is being installed.
Steam coils will be interviewer
through the containers for gravel and
sand The gravel and sand will be
heated thoroughly before it is dumped
into the mixer where only boiling
water will be used. The cement will
then be hurried into the forms and
it will set before 1t has chance to
freeze.
This will make the construction
work much more expensive and 1t is
being resorted to only because the
extra space is badly needed.
At present large retaining wall,
sixty feet high. is being built along
Glen Miller park.
A large tower It's feet tall is being
erected near the old foot path which
leads from the park to Hawkins
pond. At present similar tower is
in use about hundred yards east.
From these towers. all the green ce-
ment will be distributed by means Of
cable cars.
About seventy-fjve men are at work
on the improvements at present.

GENERAL STRIKE

NEW, YORK, Sept 25-Prospects
for city-wide walk-out threatened for
Wednesday morning. in sympathy
with the striking carmen, seemed re.
mote early today.
Officials of the conference of labor
leaders, which promulgated the sus.

translate their threat into action, but
indications point to strong opposition
along many of the individual unions.
The prime movers of the proposed
general strike early today announced
that sixty more labor organizations,
with the total membership of 12o, 900,
have pledged their support to the con-
ference of labor leaders and will re-

900 wage earners who already have
ratified the vote to suspend the total
number on which the leaders now rely
is $4,000.

PARLEY
IS DEADL0CkED
ON EXPEDITION

NEW LONDON, Conn, Sept. Is
Indications today as the American and
Mexican commissioners went into
joint session here were that the ne
gotiations have reached a deadlock.
Acting, 1t Is believed. on instruc.
tions from President Wilson, the
American commissioners have refused
flatly to consider any plan calling for
the immediate withdrawal of the
American troops. This stand has been
taken because of the increasing ac-
tivity of Villistas in Chihuahua and
the failure of the Carranza forces to
make strong showing against them.
The Mexican commissioners bound by
Carranza's instructions to take up the
withdrawal of the troops first, refused
to make any concession.
1t was considered likely that an ad-
journment will be taken either today
or tomorrow until the Mexican com.
missioners can get new instructions
from Carranza.

BRITISH STUDY
AERIAL CRAFT
SHOT TO EARTH

LONDON. Sept 25-Officers of the
Royal Flying Corps have begun on
examination of the two Zeppelins
brought down during the raid of Sat-
urday night and Sunday morning, with
a view to discovering secrets of their
construction. D.
The raid, in which more than a
dozen great airships took part, was the
most ambitious yet attempted against
England by the Germans and it was
the first time that an air fleet has
been conveyed by submarines.
The destruction of three Zeppelins,
two in the latest raid and one in a
previous air foray against London.
caused great jubilation and leads to
the belief that the metropolis soon
will be immune from sky attacks.
Considerable damage was done on
the eastern and southeastern coasts,
but the loss of two of the big, new
styled Zeppelins more than offset the
losses, from military standpoint.
The charred remains Of the airmen
killed in the destruction of the Yep
peline near Mangold, Essex County,
have been collected for an inquest.
They probably will be buried with
military honors as was the case with
the Germans killed when the L-21 was
burned.
The sailors on the other Zeppelin
brought down in Essex county are ex-
pected to be treated as honorable
prisoners Of war despite the intense
public feeling against them. There
are twenty-five of them.
