NEW YORK, November 6.--Union
drug store employees. from registered
pharmacists to soda clerks and por-
tiers, struck in Greater New York to-
day to enforce demands for higher
wages and shorter hours. The strikers
are enrolled in the United Drug
Clerks Local. which claims a mem
bership of 1000. No figures were
made public early today as to the
number who obeyed the strike call.
DR.. Royal s. Copeland. health COM

cists owning drug stores had assured
him that they would give their first
attention to filing prescriptions. and
he expressed confidence that public

the strike.
There are $500 drug stores in the
city, employing 1000 persons.

"INSURGENT" DOCKMEN
PROMISE TO GO TO WORK
Tell New York Mayor They Will
Return Today at Old Pay Pend
ing Rehearine Decision.

NEW YORK. November 6.-The
strike of 10000 1ongshoremen, which
has tied up port activities here for
several weeks. appeared to have been
broken today. The deciding factor
was the surrender Of the "insurgent"
strikers. who promised Mayor Hylan
yesterday they would return today
at the old rate of pay. pending a de-
cision from the national adjustment
commission for a rehearing.
The insurgents, who at one time
claimed more than 10000 members
of the longshoremen's union, broke
with the international officers dur
ing the strike. The international Of
ficials steadfastly refused to au-
thorize the strike and endeavored to
induce the men to return.
Within the last week longshoremeu
slowly returned to work and the
great congestion of shipping was
relieved to some extent. Steamship
owners would not hazard a guess to-
day as to their approximate loss.
: Early in the strike sohcials of the
United States Shipping Board esti-
mated a daily loss of 100000 to
SI.5o0.00o.s. On this basis the cost
would be between $25.000.00 and
$40, 600. 900.

POTOMAC ONCE

Plan of City Printed in 1895
Given to Association of
Oldest inhabitants.

After hearing the report of Wash
ington Topham. chairman of the COM
mittee on entertainments. the mem
bers of the Association of Oldest In
habitants of the District of Columbia
at their monthly meeting last night in
the Old Engine House. 18th and I'll

fifty-fourth anniversary banquet of
the association at Cushman's cal e
early in December. the date to be an
nounced later.
George ]. Davis and Charles Thomas
Krauss were elected to membership.
Gift of Mrs. Burr.
On behalf of Mrs. Victoria Osborne
Burr of 1917 X street. Washington
with a well preserved plan of the
city of Washington printed in New
York city in 1875.
a peculiar feature of this old plan
was the appearance of the letter *
added to Potomac in spelling the name
of the river. This oddly brought
from John b. Mccarthy. correspond
ing secretary of the association. the
information that records proved that
prior to the date mentioned on the
plan Potomac had always been
spelled 'Pawtawmack.' Mr.. McCar-
thy also stated that after careful re-
search work he had been unable to-
find where any law had been passed
or authority given for the changing
of the spelling of the word from the
original.
Soundings of the Potomac river and
the Eastern branch OF the depth of
thirty feet were printed on the plan.
This discovery ELECTED information
from several of the older members
that in the early days of the city
steamboats, piled between Washing
ton, Alexandria and Bladensburg.
George J. Suter of 463 I street re-
called a trip he had taken when a
boy on one of these steamboats,.
The association ordered vote of
thanks to be extended to Mrs. Burr.
Started First Star Route.
The presentation of the old plan
brought forth many other reminis-
cences of Washington. Alexandria and
Bladensburg by those present. James
Eldridge Burns said that his father
had started the Trst Star route in
the city, delivering the paper to the
residents of Georgetown.
During the evening John Clagett
Proctor sang several original songs.
one of which, Votes for Washing
ton" a parody on a popular war song.
brought forth hearty applause from
all present.

States of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
The season of the year has again
arrived when the people of the
United States are accustomed to
unite in giving thanks to Almighty
God for the blessings which He has
conferred upon our country during
the twelve months that have
passed. A year ago our people
poured out their hearts in praise
and Thanksgiving that through di
vine aid the right was victorious
and peace had come to the nations
which had so courageously strug-
gled in defense of human liberty
and justice. Now that the stern
task is ended and the fruits of
achievements are ours we look for
ward with confidence to the dawn
of an era where the sacrifices of
the nations will find recompense in
world at peace.
But to attain the contamination
of the great work to which the
American people devoted their
manhood and the vast resources of
their country they should. as they
give thanks to God. reconsecrate
right which triumphed through His
merciful goodness Our gratitude
can find no more perfect expression
than to bulwark with loyalty and
patriotism those principles for
which the free peoples of the
earth fought and died.
During the past year we have
had much to make US grateful. In
spite of the confusion In our eco
nomic life resulting from the war
we have prospered. Our harv&ts
have been plentiful, and of our
abundance we have been able to
render succor to less favored ma
tions. Our democracy remains un-
shaken in a world torn with politi-
cal and social unrest. Our tradi-
tional ideals are still our guides in
the path of progress and civiliza-
ton.
These great blessings vouchsafed
to us, for which we devoutly give
thanks, should arouse US to a fuller
sense of our duty to ourselves and
to mankind to see to it that moth

May PUT new BRIDGE
OVER SILVER CREEK

Plans are being made by Judge
Price Road Engineer G. Baxter
and member of the Fiscal Court
for the erection of a new bridge
over Silver Creek, just north OF
Bcrea, where the damage was
done by Jailcr Burgess car in
the hands of two local negro men
Thursday night. The old bridge
is said to be really incapacitated
for heavy traffic and the county's
officials had under consideration
installation of new bridge there
before the accident happened to
the old one. The old bridge. was
put up SO years ago, and is of
iron, antiquated and too weak for
heavy truck hauling especially.
County Road Engineer J. G.
Baxter says that it will be almost
impossible to salvage the old
bridge which was kicked" into
Silver Creek by the car. A
meeting of the Fiscal court may
be called at once to take up the
matter as traffic will be seriously
interfcrcd with until something
is done about the bridge.
