Because They Ran Too High on State
Road Construction.

After conference between the state
engineer and Gov. p. w. Clement, who
has to approve the bids relative to the
four projects for federal aid in road con
struction, it was decided to reject the
bids on the Williston and Irasburg Cow
entry jobs, because they were too high,
and to call for bids again to be opened
next Thursday on these two jobs 1t
was further decided to recommend to the
representative of the federal government
the acceptance of the lowest bidders fig
ures on the Colchester Essex job and the
Fairlee project.
The figures on these latter jobs are
not materially changed from what the
contractors figured them, the changes be-
ing due to the copying as they were
read when opened.
On the Fairlee project b. Perrin & Co.
was So 900 lower than others, while they
estimated they would be about 81 900
lower. These figures were changed a
little, namely; 34,559.l0; Coleman
Brothers, $37 1890; Gregoire & Co.,
S54 ,755.56. The other three were fig-
ured as the contractors had thems Lane
Construction Co., S44,025.S0; j. w. Duff,
sol $1,000; p. f. Baldasaro, S52,025.s5.
On the Colchester. Essex Job, j. w.
Duff, S43,6l2.55; Coleman Brothers, $40,
729.30; while Winslow & Cummings at
s46,6l5.30 and Gregoire & Co. at $50,-
023.30, were the same as the contractors
figured them.
In the lrasburg job c. J. Gilfillan was

EMBARGO ON FRETGHTA
ON NEW ENGLAND LINES
CAUSED BY THE STRIKE
7:l5 a. m, each being made up of two

7:l5 a. m, each being made up Of two
cars.
Orders were issued by the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit about a. m. to resume
selling tickets for the Sea Beach, West
End and Culver lines, the two former
being Coney Island lines. During the
ngiht the only subway service was on
the Canarsie line, and here the trains
were few and the schedule uncertain.
Elevated service was resumed as early
as a. m. on some lines over the Brook
lyn bridge, but up to o'clock only fiye
two-car trains had reached the Manhat-
tan terminal of the bridge.
No disturbances were reported when
the early crush began. The police, it
was announced, were prepared for any
emergency, and on the few surface cars,
elevated and subway trains operated,
patrolmen were on guard.
The third day of the strike began with
no hope of an amicable settlement. Lind
ley M. Garrison, receiver, was firm IN his
determination not to treat with dele
gates from the Amagamated Associa-
ton Of Street and Electric Railway En-
ployes.
The first death as result of the strike
occurred to-day on the Williamsburg
bridge. when a pedestrian believed to be
John Morena was struck by motor
truck laden with workers on their way
to Manhattan. A number of women in
the truck tainted Traffic congestion all
over Brooklyn was worse than on the
previous two days and automobile mis-
haps were many.
II was announced at the offices of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit at a. m. that
from 20 to % per cent of the elevated
and subway trains were running, about
per cent more than were in operation
at this time yesterday. Two motormen
and double guards were assigned to each
train, all under the protection OF the
police Union leaders said the company
was employing strikebreakers and mex
perienced men, offering them triple pay
and a $40 daily bonus TO work. Efforts
were directed to restore service on the
81" lines, the traction officials declaring
that surface car operation would be
greatly curtaiIed or suspended If dis
orders continued.
A Culver IL" train was attacked by a
crowd of strikers at Gravesend and 18th
avenues and the motormen and guards
pulled off the train and roughly handled.
Receiver Garrison announced that if sur
face cars were operated they would be
manned with double sets of crews, two
conductors and two motormen and pro-
teeted by four policemen.
William Siebert, superintendent OF
transportation, said the company would
not make amy great attempt to operate
surface cars to-day because of the vio-
lence to which the crews were subjected
yesterday. The police he said, sin
some instances did not afford proper
protection to our men. We are eoncen-
trating our efforts to-day and to-mor-
row in bringing the services on the ele-
waited and subway lines up to 100 per
cent"
Superintendent Siebert said that 80
men have been engaged since the strike
to operate busy subway and l. trains.
| He said they were not being hired as
strikebreakers but as regular employees

EARLY RISE ON MARKET
W4S SOON OVERCOME
New Selling Movement Developed After
First Offerings Had Been Absorbed
Nothing in Monetary Situation
to Cause Alarm.

New York, Aug s.After the slump
in the final hour of trading yesterday,
the stock market opened to-day with
gains of from one to three points in those

of previous session. Leaders in the re-
covery included Z. S. Steel, which opened
with an advance Of two and one-quarter,
Crucible Steel Baldwin Locomotive, u.
S. Rubber, Central Leather and Mexican
Petroleum.
Among the reactionary issues were
General Motors and international Paper
with declines Of from two TO three
points.
Action of the directors of the u. s.
Rubber company in recommending a div
idend rate of per cent on the common
stock. subject to the shareholders ap.
proval, was one of the helpful develop.
ments of the early session Rubber
jumped five points at the outset, soon
increasing its gain to six and one half.
Among the other strong and active is.
sues were the various food shares which
weakened yesterday in connection with
the proposed prosecution of the packers.
The recovery proved TO be of short
duration, however, and new selling
movement developed after the market
had absorbed first offerings u. s. Rub
ber lost its early gain and an additional
two points, while Baldwin Locomotive
fell under yesterdays price.
Pressure against T. S. Steel was re-
newed and il lost two and one half
point rise, falling fraction under yes
terday's minimum. Elsewhere in the
active list reactions continued from one
to two points. There was nothing in the
monetary situation to cause apprehen-
sion, Call loans opened at to 5ha per
cent.

MAIL CARRIED BY AUTOMOBILE.
Because of Suspension of Many Trains
Near Boston.

Boston, Aug S.-Annulment of subur-
ban passenger service on the Boston &
Maine and New York, New Haven &
Hartford lines on account of the shop
mems strike, interrupted rapid transit
between 80 cities and towns and this
city to-day.
Upwards Of 10000 mechanics employed
in shops, roundhouses and terminals in
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island and Connecticut, who struck yes
terday, expect to be joined by several
thousand Others to-day. They demand
an increase of wages from 6S cents an
hour to s5 cents an hour, with an in
crease for helpers from As cents to CO.
Thousands of commuters who custom
arily use the trains, were compelled to
travel by trolley to-day, resulting in
confusion, congestion and general traffic
delays.
Mail distribution to suburban points
was carried on by automobiles.
Besides the cancellation of suburban
trains, scheduled stops of all through
trains on the New York, New Haven &
Hartford and the Boston & Maine rail
roads were suspended in the effected
zones and several through trains were
taken from their runs. Parlor cars and
dining car service of the New Haven
system was discontinued on all trains
except the Colonial express for Wash
ington. Ten of the day trains between
New York and this city were disconIn-
ued, and limited sleeping car service Vas
announced.
Railroad officials said that service cur
tailment was necessary in the interests
of safety. They explained that among
the strikers were car couplers, airbrake
inspectors, roundhouse mechanics, coal
handlers and other terminal and yard
workers.
The Boston & Albany railroad an
nounced that several hundred shopmen in
this city and practically the entire force
Of operators both here and at Worces-
ter had joined the strike and some cur
tailment Of service would be necessary
The first trains TO be eliminated, the
management said, would be to suburbs
served by the company, which are also
accessible by trolley. No statement was
made regarding through service.

TRYING TO SPEED UP
GERMANY'S COAL MINES
Hard Work Is the Best Solution Offered
for a Threatened Famine Situation
Desperate as Germans Are
Not Disposed to Go to
Work

Berlin, Thursday, Aug. I (By the Asso-
ciated Press A commission OF employ
ers and workers was appointed at yester-
days coal conference OF experts from
all parts Of Germany to devise means of
increasing the production Of coal so that
Germany viii not freeze o. starve dur
ing the coming winter. It's first ses-
sion was held to-day at the ministry Of
labor.
The only result of Yesterdays confer
ence seemed to be the pointing out that
the situation>is desperate. No concrete
steps were decided upon but the confer
enee was unanimous in its view tlst the
situation must be improved at any price.
Although experts made a large number
Of suggestions IL was recognized that
hard work would he one of the best so
buttons of the problem.
The situation seems to be critical Ger
many has succeeded in inducing France
to admit that her demand for forty mil
lion tons of coal annually was a physi-
cal impossibility, but it appears that
Germany cannot even hope TO have
enough coal to meet the country's most
urgent needs. The people have been
warned already to prepare for the com
ing winter, and laymen are rapidly be-
ing converted to the opinion that the
government should sacrifice some of the
national forests, arguing that it would
be better to encroach on part of Ger,
mauy's potential capital than to allow
freezing and starvation, The idea, how.
ever, does not appear to attract much
attention in government circles. Accord
ing to present plans, the first call for
coal will come from the railroads. This

Industry viii come next so that credit
can be created abroad by the production
of articles of commerce. The people will
next be given coal for heating and cook
ing purposes. The prospects for the last
class are seemingly sliW
The imperial coal commissioner re-
ports that the production of coal in the
Ruhr region has not been improved and
is not sufficient enough for current needs.
The president of the Chamber of Com

tries now are being supplied with coal,
and that the remainder are attempting
to use wood as fuel Working men are
laboring shorter hours and the working
capacity of the country's industries is
greatly decreased.

FREIGHT PILING UP
BECAUSE OF STRIKE
The Embargo Was Declared
on the New Haven System
and the Central New Eng
land Railroads - M e n
Have Been Ordered to Re-
sumo Work in Shops

New York, Aug. s.-An embargo on all
freight on the New York, New Haven &
Hartford and the central New England
railroads was announced this morning
because of the strike of shopmen.
The embargo was declared in order to
control the movement Of freight, state
ment from headquarters said, so that ar
rangements may be made to give pref
erence to the handling of foodstuffs and
shipments of immediate necessity.
Washington, D. c., Aug. S.-Director
General Hines to-day awaited word from
the unions that all the striking shop
men had returned to work before under
taking to carry out President Wilson's
instructions to settle the wage contro-
versy on its merits. The telegraph sys-
tenn of the railroad administration was
put at the disposal of the union officers,
and peremptory orders that the msn
should go back to the job went out to
five hundred local ehairmen.
Until the men have resumed work, rail-
road administration officials said they
would not discuss the procedure to be
employed in adjusting the wage de-
mands. As the shopmen's reasons for
wanting 25 per cent increase have been
considered thoroughly by the board Of
railroad wages and working conditions,
which divided three to three, it was
thought the evidence in that case would
be put Immediately before the director
general for a decision. Other unions
have demands pending, however, which
will necessitate the presentation of evil
dence and to hear this new board may
be constituted.
Mr.. Hines is understood to consider
that two main points are involved in the
settlement of wage demands.
First, how much has the cost of living
increase in wages, and second, what are
the wages being paid in other indus
tries for the same classes Of workY
