FIGHT AGAINST
FARE INCREASE
West Shore Firemen's Union
Will Prepare For Action at
West Fairview Meeting

West Fairview, July 8.-President
j. Fred Hummel, of the West Shore
Firemen's Union, announced to-day
that some action against the con-
templated increase in street car
fares on the lines of the. Valley Rail-
ways Company would be taken by
the union in monthly session in the
Good Will Fire Company house here
this evening.
President Hummel was unable to
say what course the members would
pursue in waging campaign
against the increased fare idea, but
declared that the union would not
stand for any increase in the tariff
on the West Shore lines unless it
was absolutely necessary.
II. II. Way, of Enola, who was
appointed at the last meeting of the
union to secure information on a
combination fire apparatus which
the union plans to purchase and
place in a centrally located firehouse
for the use of the entire West Shore,
will make a report at this evenings
session. Officers of the union are
very optimistic over the outcome of
the centralized fire company idea
and are of the opinion that in a few
months the move for raising funds
for the purchase of the motor truck
will be we'll under way.
Other improvements on the West
Shore to be brought about by the
union will be discussed at this eve
ning's session.
