to fifty cents an hour rendered by the

demanded an increase from ~ cents

rebuke from the company who claim

scale and hostilities began. a com

had the cars oyerhauled. They were
cleaned from top to bottom and re-
paired And just as this work was
finished, the company after many fu
tile conferences with the trainmen
announced a willingness to increase

HOME BAPTISMAL
FOR LA SALE TRUCK
COSTS CITY LARGE SUM

La Sale, Dec lS.-A new automo-
)ile fire truck, recently installed for
he Eighth street department in La
Sale, pulled some queer antics
Shen it made its first run late yester-
lay afternoon and as result is said
be in need of some repairs today.
The Baptismal cost the city about
500.
The department was responding
o an alarm turned in from the east
IN part of the city at about four
o'clock. All went well until the truck
cached the intersection of Sixth and
Union street, when it developed an
inclination to climb the curb swerv-
ne across the sidewalk and finally
wound up against the side Of a
house. In doing so there was neces.
3arily a considerable jolt, which
nussed up the front of the brand
new machine to quite an extent. JUS
lOW badly the truck was damaged
GEMS something Of question today
some contend that it Jared quite bad
~ in the stunt performance, while
Jther people say that the damage was
not great
The machine had just been ac-
aepted by the city and the demon
lbrator, who had handled the ma
.hine during the tests in the sister
city, left only yesterday.
