 WAGES PAID TO WOMEN WORKERS
War Labor Board Sends Ex- perts Here in Connection
 With Machinists' Case.

Federal Investigators Allen P. Colby. Miss Caroline Wilson and Miss Sarah Whelan have been sent here by the War Labor Board to ascertain facts as to the wages of the women who are emloyed on war work. The sur-..y recently completed by W. E. Freeland and submitted to Examiner Stodar, who represented the War Labor Board, and heard the testi- mony in the recent controversy be- tween the machinists and toolmakers and the Manufa cturers' Association, did not include this information which the board feels it is necessary it should have.
 I. K. Russell, also Federal inves- tigator who advise with the labor men as to the presentation of their suit. is also in the city 70 apprise them that owing to unavoidable de law in getting the stenographic re- ports of the proceedings to the board in Washington the decision of the hoard will not be rendered before August 10. The transcriptions of the proceedings did not reach Washing ton until two days ago and as they are very voluminous and so very im- portant. the board feels it must have plenty of time in which to come to , decision that will be as far reaching in effect as theirs on this question $ bound to be.

SCHOOL CONTEST
 IN WAR SAVINGS
 STARTED TODAY
Boys and Girls of Public and Private Schools Out To-
 day for Medals.
PURCHASES WILL
 COUNT ON PLEDGES
New Entries Will be Receiv- ed at Headquarters by Civ
 ing Name and Address.

They're off today! Hundreds of boys and girls from the public, paro- chial and private schools began early this morning their contest for the sale of War Savings and Thrift Stamps. A silver medal will be awarded to the boy or girl who ac- complishes the best result in each school, and a solid gold medal will be given to the child who accom- plishes the best result in the city at large.
 MT. Isaac Moss, chairman of the subcommittee of the War Savings Committee, which has this contest in charge, has already announced the details of the plan. Briefly, they consist in first having an entry into the contest made by the different boys and girls with a statement of the school they come from. Each con- testant must make arrangements with his parents or some other source to provide him with a limited amount of working capital for the purchase of the stamps. The War Savings Committee cannot undertake to f- finance this operation. Uncle Sam expects this slight sacrifice from ev- erybody who wishes to serve him in this line. A very small working cap ital is sufficient and, of course, after all the stamps are sold and the con- test closed it will be available for re- turn to the parents who furnished it.
 Stamps must be bought at the main post office or either the Noble or Barnum branch post offices, or at any sub-station. Every child who enters must obtain a card which will be fur nished by the War Savings Commit tee, on which a record of all of his purchases will be made by the post office clerks or the sub-station clerks. This card contains full instructions about the contest, together with the list of the sub-stations, and is very admirably arranged so as to show n detail the work which the contestant has done.
 Any boy or girl who desires to en- ter the contest may do so now by sending name and school to Bridge port War Savings Committee, 207 State street A card will imme- diately be sent to the contestant and

TAX ON RAILROAD FARES

MARINES ON DUTY
 IN PHILADELPHIA BECAUSE OF RIOTS
Sent Out With 300 Police men to Prevent Further
 Race Clashes.

Philadelphia, July 29.---Three hun dred policemen and 60 marines were on duty today to prevent recurrence Of race riots in South Philadelphia in which two men were killed and sev- eral scores were injured yesterday.
 The trouble occurred in the section between Washington avenue and Dickinson street, 18th and 30th streets, which contains many small thorough fares inhabited by negroes.
 Armed battles were waged from early Sunday morning until last mid night between gangs of negroes on one side and white residents, with the police and members of the home de- fense reserve striving vainly to pre- serve order.
 The men killed were Hugh Lavery and Thomas McVay, a patrol wagon driver. The death list may be en- larged as several of the persons wounded are in a serious condition.
 According to the police the disorder was the result of an attempt by me- groes to encroach on streets that up to this time had been occupied solely by white families.
 A negro was shot and killed today in South Philadelphia. This makes three deaths as a result of the disor- der, two men, one of them a police man, having been shot dead yester- day. More than three score persons have been injured, some of them seri- ously enough to be sent to hospitals.
 The negro killed today had been arrested by two policemen and tried to escape by slashing them with ra- zor. As he was taken into a police station some one in the crowd fired a shot which stuck him in the back.

Park Superintendent Cliff when in- terviewed this morning said My at- tention has been drawn to the great fali of leaves from the trees. The condition is due to weather condi- tions and not to the ravages of any insect, as has been expected. The cold winds, heavy rains this spring as well as the unusually severe win ter hampered the proper growth of the leaves and at the approach of the summer heat, the vitality of the leaves was not great enough to en- dure. Unless we get rain soon itr is probable that many more will fall However, as there are many new leaves the matter is not a scerious one, and with good climatic condi- tions we will soon see the trees in proper shape.
 ''The attention of the public should be called, however, to the spread Of the Tussock moth, which has been so rapid in the past few days. as to- cause alarm among the authorities. The moth is most noticeable in the form of a small yellow caterpillar with a two horned head, and 1t Is very destructive, as it subsists prin- cipally on young leaves and shoots. If they are allowed to spread the condition of our trees is apt to he seriously inanaiDASA''

 In 1916 MT. Sachs, who is the own CT of a large tract of land in Stratford contracted with Arthur Bard for the building of 19 houses, to be built ir three units, two of five and one of nine houses. According to the contract, which was later taken over by the Park City Construction Co.,, of which Bard is president. These houses were to be completed within three months from the time they were begun.
 MT. Sachs complaint alleges that the work started in June and that gradually the work slowed up and that in November he served notice upon the defendant that if the work was not resumed and the buildings completed the contract would be considered void This notice, which was served on No- vember 8, was not given any attention land three days later another notice was served notifying the Construction company that all relations were con- sidered at an end and that the contract was no longer binding.
 On the stand Mir. Sachs said that he has advanced more than enough security in the way of cash and guar antees than was sufficient to have paid for the entire piece of work. When he entered complaints as to the slowness of the work he was told that when he produced more money he

 North of the Marne the tide of Ger man invasion is fast ebbing. The fact that a general retreat in this region is going on is not questioned, and the only question of moment remaining to be cleared up is the location of the position at which the enemy will turn at bay.
 Since Saturday morning there have been important changes in the battle
