NO ACTION TAKEN
 ON FARE INCREASE
Officials of Local Factories Deny Statements Regarding Allow
 anceS For Workers.

Another paper has printed a story in which it was stated that local man. ufacturers will soon take action on the high cost of committing, which has been brought about by the zone system, and will help their en- ployes pay the new car fare expenses. A Herald reporter this morning was told by officials of several of the To- cal factories including Landers, F'rary & Clark, Corbin Screw Corpor- ation, P. & F. Corbin company and Stanley Works, that they do not know where the story originated from.
 Office Manager George Spear, of the Corbin Screw Corporation, when approached on the matter, stated that nothing has been said regarding the paying of the extra carfare for their employees and mono of the employees have as yet asked for help.
 Although there have been some rumors that employees in several of the factories have drawn up petitions, asking for allowances to cover the ad- ditional expense, the factory officials of local plants report that they have not received nor seen any.
