New York, April 30.-Traces of the anx-

 not lacking last week, but the stock marc

 of the list was the International Mers

 ment of it's long existing legal diff culties.
 Perhaps the most potent factor in the
 rise was the broad demand for rails. especially the recognized dividend payers. March statements of earnings, some of which were marvellous for their gains. helped to swell the inquiry for these shares. Another helpful feature was the action of the Norfolk and Western direc- tors in declaring increased and extra divi- dends.
 There was only one opinion regarding the splendid statement of the United States Steel corporation for the first quar- ter of the year. but the decision of the directors to make no additional dsburse- ment on the common stock gave the trad-. ing element an excuse for further selling? Steels comparative backwardness was at- trihuted mainly to the belief that promi- nent banking interests had taken over q large amount of stock from foreign holders.
 Fear of further European liquidation caused railway shares to yield a meas ure on their advantage toward the weeks end. The foreign situation occasioned fresh caution in banking quarters. There was a temporary furry in call

STRIKE SITUATION
IS MORE SERIOUS
Surface Car Transit is Almost at a
Standstill, and Elevated and Sub
way are Affected.

New York. Sept. l2.--With surface
car transit virtually at a standstill in
Manhattan, ths>fsronx, Yonkers and part
OF Westchester county and with subway
and elevated facilities affected more than
at any time since the lnterborough strike
vas called last Thursday, the traction
situation in New York assumed more
serious aspect.
| Labor leaders held conferences during
the day on the question of seeking a
sympathetic strike among various crafts,
which ii successful, would call out 750,-
900 men in the metropolitan district, but
| it was admitted that no definite action
could be expected for at least a week.
The first demonstration of sympathetic
strike came yesterday when union team
sters employed by two brickmaking con
Germs quit their posts rather than haul
sand to the New York Railways COM
pany powerhouse.
Hugh Frayne, an organizer of the
American Federation Of Labor, last night
predicted that sympathetic strike
would be called within week among
several trades closely affiliated with the
operation OF traction lines, numbering
approximately 100000 men. These would
include longshoremen, powerhouse en-
ployes, teamsters and stationary engi
neers and tiremen, he asserted. Action
by International officers of these organiza-
tions would be necessary before strike
could be called, Mr.. Frsyne said,
Strike leaders will ask Mayor Mitchell
for permission to conduct parade, to
be followed by mass meeting, Wednes-
day, it was announced. 1t is planned to
make the affair huge labor demonstra
tion, il was said, and the principal line
of march would be up Fifth avenue.
Violence in connection with the strike
occurred at several points yesterday, and
one serious demonstration was broken
up only by vigorous action on the part
OF the police reserves. This occurred |
when strikers piled eobble stones on the
track. stopping car. Stones were then
thrown at the car until all its windows |
were smashed and parts of the woodwork |
A woman passenger was |
stunned when she was knocked down
by the rush to get off the car. The strik-
ars lifted the motorman and conductor
TO their shoulders and started to their
nall with them, but policemen rescued
he men and they ran the car into the
barns. Arrests were frequent, but no
me was seriously injured in the disorders
throughout the city, police reports say.
Police Commiss; oner Woods ordered
IN investigation into charges made be-
ore the police service commission by
nen who said they were strikebreak
rs. The men declared they had been
leld prisoners in carbarn and were
,eaten by employees of a strike breaking ,
gency when they demanded their pay
nd right to leave. President Shonts de-
led that strikebreakers were being mis-
reated i

King Constantine and Premier Zaims

mere suggestion OF the possibility of King
Constantine commanding the allied ar
mics in Macedonia, however, seems to
override every hesitation.

City Council Startled at the
Prices Named for
the Work ~
WILL NOW ALTER
sPECIFICA'S ms
Lowest Bid Was So : IS, and
City Bonded Only
for S14,500

All bids for the proposed granite arch
bridge over Jail branch at the South
Main street intersection were rejected by
the city council in special meeting last
night, three of the five because the
amounts named were vastly higher than
the council had expected and the citizens
had bonded for and the other two be.
cause the bids were not accompanied BY
certified checks, as stipulated by the spe-
cification requirements. The city bonded
for Sl4,50O for the improvement, and the
lowest bid considered last night was
S34.34s.,
The council considered the bids in pub
lie and then in private; and after voting
in the public session to hold the bids
open for week they voted, after private
consultation, 10 reject one and all and
advertise for new bids under new specif-
cations. II is planned 10 ask for offers
for bridges under three designations, %
a reinforced concrete bridge, (2l a rein
forced concrete bridge with granite para
pet and entrances, 81 a steel bridge.
The time for seeking these new bids has
not been set but it is plainly evident
that the work cannot be carried out this
year, even should bid be accepted.
When the special meeting was called to
order by Mayor Gordon, Clerk Mackay
produced five proposals which he proceed
ed to open under orders from the council.
Two of the bids were not accompanied bv
checks, although one of them had bond
1t was first voted to dispose of those
which had not enclosed checks without
hearing the amount of the bids named.
Alderman Haley moved that the J. Z.
eastman bid, which was accompanied by
a bond, be not considered, and the motion
was carried unanimously. The same al
derman then moved that the bid of
James Swami & Son of Lewiston, Me-,
which had been companied by neither
bond nor check, be not considered, and
the bid was thus unceremoniously thrown
aside
Certified checks were produced for the
other three bids, and the proposals were
then read to the council. as follows:
c. f. Foley, Barre, s34.34s.
f. n. Normandeau, Barre, s37,2l2
Kinds Construction Co., Inc, Spring
field, Mass, S34,s90.
The council didn't have much to saw
ibout the bids except to ask consulting
engineer F. o. Sinclair of Burlington.
Who was in attendance, if some of the
,peeifications could not be changed so
hat the cost of the bridge could be re-
luced. 1t was agreed that the specifica-
ions could be toned down somewhat but
lot to make any appreciable difference in
he cost. Alderman Bruce moved that
he bids-the three mentioned-be held
pen for a week, and the motion was car
led. Then the motion was made to re-
ire into executive session and that car
led, with the result, as stated above,
hat all the bids were rejected as being
bove the city's means.

AUSTRIANS IN RETREAT.
Before the Rumanians-Vienna Admits
Further Withdrawals.

London, Sept. l2.-For the first time
in many days Monday proved a day with
out spectacular feature in some of the
various war theatres. On none of the
! fronts was crushing blow delivered by
any of the belligerents, and none of the
war chaneelleries reported any great gain
| by their armies in the field.
| Probably the most significant move
was that of the British in the Struma
region of the Greek Macedonian front.
Here the British after hard fighting
threw their forces across the Struma
at Neohori (Neohari) at the southern end
of Lake Tahinos (Lake Takinosl, which
lies between Seres and Orfano. and at
several other places near the lake In
addition four villages were captured and
held despite heavy counter attacks by
the Teuton allies.
Whether this offensive by the British
means the commencement of an attempt
at a drive through Bulgaria or is mere.
ly manpuvre to throw the British line
nearer Kavala, which is about % miles
east of Neohori, has not yet been made
apparent. From the west of the Vardar
river to Lake Doiran the French are vio-
lently bombarding Bulgarian positions
and on the front held by the Serbians
the Bulgarans have been compelled to
withdraw.
In the Rumanan theatre the Austrians
are in retreat before the Rumanians in
the Maros and Topitza valleys while to
the south of Hermanstadt the Rumani-
ans have occupied the village Of Helm
bar. Vienna admits further withdraw
al Of the Austrian forces near Gyergyo.
Heavy fighting continues in Dobrudif |
and there have been small infantry en-
gagements along the entire Danube |
front, but in neither region has any inn |
portant change in position taken place.
On the eastern front, according to Ber-
in, Russian attacks along the Stokhod |
liver northwest of Kovel, and in Galicia
the Dniester and Zota Lipa riv
,rs with Halicz the objective, failed with
,anguinary losses to the Russians.

GOOD WEATHER FOR
VERMONT PRIMARY
Candidates and Voters Are Particularly
Favored in Statewide Voting But
Not Over so Per Cent Of
Vote Is Expected.

Splendid autumn weather favored the
candidates and the voters to-day on the
statewide primary in Vermont to nom
mate candidates for United States sen
ator, representative in Congress, state
and county offices and town representa-
tive, II was weather of the very best to
get out large vote, but owing TO the
apathy in the Democratic party IL was
not expected that so per cent of the TO.
tai vote would be cast. Several stirring
contests in the Republican ranks served,
however, to arouse the voters in that
party. Followers of Senator Carroll S.
Page were claiming that he would be re-
nominated for the sena torial position by
a good margin.
Voting began in every city and town
at noon and will continue until o'clock
this evening.
