Most of Men Returned to Work
This Morning, Realizing Al
dermen Are PowerleSs

A majority Of the employees OF the
street department who went out on
strike yesterday. returned to work this
morning. Fffty-two men struck yes
terday and this morning about forty
of this number had again taken up
their work. apparently glad to resume
their positions. The men requested an
increase OF four cents an hour when
they walked out yesterday which
would bring their pay up TO thirty
seven cents an hour.
AS explained by Alderman William
c. Wilson, chairman OF the street com
unfttee, yesterday, the committee has
not got the money with which 70 give
the men an increase and nothing can
be done for them until the first OF the
year when the 1919 budget is made
I'D. Provision for increases In salary
may be made at that time, but just
enough money Is available at pres
ert to pay the men their present sal

COAL INCREASES
80 CENTS A TON
Administrator Ramsay Wants
Coal Cards Signed to Help in
Appeal for Bigger Supply

That the price of coal in this city
has advanced thirty Genus per ton was
made known today by City Fuel Ad-
ministrator Oliver w. Ramsay. This
increase took place at the mines on
all coal shipped after o'clock sun
day morning, September /.
Administrator Ramsay pointed out,
however, that this advance in price
does not effect any coal that the
dealers OF the city may have had on
hand or in transit before the hour al
which the raise took place. The raise
in price also not only effects new pur.
chases, but those citizens as well
who have signed fuel cards and have
not as yet received their deliveries
provided the coal has been purchased
by the dealer since last Sunday.
The administrator appeals to the
people of this city who have not as
yet signed fuel cards, that they do so
by Tuesday, September 10. In making
this request the administrator said
the city of Perth Amboy, as near as
can be figured. Is going to be short
30, 900 tons of coal. I'VE have used
every argument to substantiate this
claim" said Mr.. Ramsay, 'and sim
ply want these cards. which mean an
appeal for coal from the government
as a further and more convincing fact
that the condition is as presented to
them by me-"
The coal dealers are now preparing
a list of the orders they have on hand
and what part. IL any, of them have
been filled. This information will be
turned owed to the government in an
effort to convince them that this city
must have the additional 1000 tons oi
coal in order to meet the demand.

8 BOYS DROWNED
At SOUTH RIVER

This fact led the police to believe that
they had been drowned and about
thirty citizens, led by Policeman
Charles Ebberwein, began search OF
the old clay pit. The search continued
all day yesterday, but with no success
the depth of the pit interfering with
the workers.
Late yesterday afternoon, when the
searchers failed to discover any trace
of the boys, Professor Pabor of the
high school sent the high schol boys
out to comb the woods about the pond
and nearby country. This also proved
unsuccessful.
Policeman Ebberwein still main
tanned his opinion that the bodies
were in the pond and this morning
the dragging was again started, long
spears being used. Shortly after the
work was resumed the bodies were
found and removed to Morgan's un-
dertaking establishment. The bodies
of the burke boys will be shipped to
their homes in the city and Horne's
removed to his home here. No ar
rangements for the funerals have been
made.

BRITISH BEF ORE
CAMBRIA Gates
Take Many Prisoners and

(BY THE UNITED PREss)

The British, after their victorious
drive through the Hindenburg de-
fense, are knocking at the gates Of
Cambria. but apparently are momen-
tarily pausing before attempting 20
force an entrance. Prisoners to the
number of more than 10000 and
gNas exceeding 100 in number have
been taken by them in this advance
Meanwhile the center of greatest
activity has shifted to the Franco
American front where the Germans
are in full retreat on a wide front
north of the vesle. with the French
and Americans in pursuit and rel
ported as having reached the Aisne
in their chase.
Between these two sectors another
notable German retrograde moves
ment is in progress. The French
pressure in the region north and east
of Noyon has forced a German re-
tirement on a wide front In this Sec
tor and advances of from five to sew
en- miles have been scored by the
French forces within the past forty
eight hours.
The town Of Guiscard has been
captured and the French have press
ed beyond until they are now but
little more than two miles from the
important road center of Ham. They
are approaching Ham on both sides
of the Somme and its speedy fall
seems probable. The Germans hero
are apparently falling back for the
st. Quentin-LaFere line.
Between the Aiiette and the Atnnp
the French also are gaining ground

Aisne on the north bank. where they
were already in possession of Bucy-

they have taken the towns Of Braye
and clameoy.
/. The Franco-American operations
on the vesle front have been extend-
ed further eastward toward Rheims.
and two new crossings have been ef-
fected on the two and one-half mile
front between Venteaux and Jonch-
airy, seven miles west OF Rheims.
In the north the Germans are con-
tinuing to move backward along the
Flanders front. The British are ac-
celebrating the retirement by sharp
attacks, in one of which they cap
tured the village of Ploegstgert. They
have regained their April line on the
southern part of this front from
Neuve chatelle to Givenchy and have
even pushed beyond in spots to the
eastward of Givenchy.
The Germans are stil clinging to
the Messines ridge. the highest
ground of this sector. but from tha
manner in which they are being
forced back further south it seems
doubtful II they will be able TO hold
II much longer.
On the Douai-Cambrai front and
Immediately to the south the enemy
gives sign Of stiffening resistance. but
nevertheless the British have moved
further ahead at various points,
Their most notable gain was south
east Of Bertincourt. where they took
additional ground east of the Canal

onval.
The Germans made an effort to dis
lodge Field Marshal Haig's forces
