SASKATCHEWAN LABOR LEADERS
 TO TAKE SEATS
Representatives of the Late Enemies of Allies Will Be
 Received.
LONE FRENCHMAN IN
 OPPOSITION TO PLAN
Capital Delegate Holds Distinction Must Be Made Between Bar barian" Nation and the
 Allied Peoples.

Washington, Oct. 30.-With only the French capital delegate opposing the action, the international labor conference today decided to admit representatives of Germany and Aus tria, immediately upon their arriv- al here, to full membership in the world labor organization. Louis Guerin. who cast the only negative vote, holding up the view the desolation wrought by the Ger man military machine in the invaded regions of his country, declared that "a distinction must be made between "barbarian" nations that regard a lied peoples who had fought for the cause of freedom. He insisted that Germany and Austria, with whom, he said, the allied nations are still at war, should not be admitted until the close of the conference, and main tained that such was the view of the French senate and of Leon Bour- geois, French representative to the league of nations.
 Sharp opposition to this view was expressed by Leon Jouhaux, French labor delegate, who said that the war was at an end, and that Germany must be admitted in the "new re- gime."
 The Belgian governmental and la Dor delegates asked to be recorded as voting favorably only because "econ- omic conditions forced" them to do so, and Jules Carlier. Belgian capi- tai representative, abstained from voting.
 Alfonso salas, Spanish employer representative, andt Baron Des Ranches, representing the Italian government, were among those who spoke in favor of the admissions of Germany and Austria. a Protesting against international politics, Baron Des Ranches told the delegates that Eve must look to the future rather than the past"
 Following the favorable vote on the motion. Dr. R. H. EHzalde, gov ernment delegate from Ecuador, ask ed why Mexico had not been invited to the conference, and moved to ad- init that republic, while Judge John Castlebere, Norwegian government representive, proposed that Finland also be admitted. Both motions were deferred, under the rules, until tomorrow.

MAXIMUM COAL PRICES AGAIN
 PUT IN EFFECT All Questions of AllocatiOn Will Be Left to Director Gen.
 eraI Hines. ORDER IS READY FOR
 WILSON'S SIGNATURE Hines Again Puts Priority List Into Effect-List of Industries Which
 Will Receive Supply
 Announced.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The order re-establishing the old maximum coal prices of the fuel administration was completed tonight at conference of Dr. H. A. Garfield, and railroad ad- ministration officials. It was talk en immediately to the White House for President Wilson's signature. Dr. Grayson had given permission to put it before the president without delay.
 Dr. Garfield said that the plans contemplated that all questions of al locating coal would be left to Direc- tor General Hines for settlement. The former, as fuel administrator, will give his authority to Mir. Hines orders, but will not remain in Wash ington to undertake supervision of the work
 Hines Statement. Director General Hines isued the following statement: "In order to interfere as little as possible with the normal course of coal traffic, the railroad administra- tion up to the present time has per mitted coal to go to the designated consignees. For the last two weeks open top equipment has been exped- tied so as to facilitate the maximum production of coal. The result has been an exceptionally heavy coal production.
 "It having become necessary, how ever, to be prepared to insure against all temporary contingencies, that the transportation service be protected, regional directors have now been instructed to see that each railroad shall accumulate a necessary reserve of coal when it is not already on shand' purchasing such coal if possible and otherwise holding coal in tran sit. The practice thus resorted to is a practice which railroads have al- ways employed in emergencies wheth- CT under private or public control and has been recognized as indespen- sable to the maintenance of an es- sential public service. In holding such coal exemptions will be made as far as possible of coal destined to certain classes of consignees in the following order of priority which is the basis of priority adopted during the war by the fuel administration: "1. Steam railroads; inland and coastwise vessels.
 "2. Domestic, including hotels, hospitals and asylums.
 "3. Navy and army.
 A. Public utilities, including plants as supply light, heat and water for public use.
 "5. Producers and manufacturers of food. including refrigeration.
 "6. National, state, county and municipal government emergency re. quirements.
 "7. Bunkers and other marine emergency requirements not speci- fife above
 "8. Producers of news print paper and plants necessary to the printing and publication of daily newspapers.
 Coal held in: transit is not to he unloadeds in storage nor used until actually needed, so that if it's use is later found necessary 1t can be for wRrded to destination whenever prac- ticable.,
 Instructions issued provide that there will be as little disturbance as possible in the distribution of coal, but at the same time protecting the necessity of the railroads which have public dsty to perform"

 "There's nothing doing" Howat said when the telegram from the governor. quoting MT. Lukins, was read to him. "They know that. It's only grand stand play. They wouldn't make contract with us II We want to them.
 s"In all the years we have been dealing with them. the southwest operators have never made con- tract with us or volunteered to do So until after the central competitive field had made it's contracts. Thel' offer to make contract now, in dependent of the central competitive field, is only bluff"

TRENTON, Jan. 30-That the
muddle over the speakership of the
House OF Assembly will be settled next
Monday night when the lawmakers
reconvene IS the feeling in the air at
the state house. No one seems to
offer a solution or Is willing to go
into details a. to how this hoped for
end of the present situation Is to be
accomplished, but there Is a conf
dence that the stand-off will be
broken and the House organized.
One plan discussed as the possible
solution is dividing up of the speaker
ship honor by giving it to the Demo-
Gratis for one half of the session and
to the Republicans for the other half
This is a proposition which has been
laid before the lawmakers of the
lower house for their consideration
and some state house politicians
seem to think 1t will finally be ac-
copied as the only out of a diff
cult situation born of a Legislative
body which is evenly divided along

solution is which party would be en-

The 1900 feet OF sewer laid in New
Brunswick venue in ord and
keasbey, as the trunk line of an ex-
tensive sewer system in that section
which has called down vociferous
maledictions on the heads Of the
Woodbridge authorities responsible
for it and the contractor who a it.
threatens to be just as uncomfortable
to autoists and drivers, as well as
other persons who are Inconvenience
by its deplorable condition, for some
time to come.
The sewer, which is naught but a
pipe line underground at the present
time, cause no end Of misfortune
and discomfort for the contractor as
well as for the resident of the county
or the pasaer-through who will have
occasion to whisper sweet nothings
every time he recalls his perilous trip
over 1t.
The roadway is a county highway.
1t was paved by the county with War
renite pavement three years g with
out cost to the township of Wood
bridge or the residents of that Sec
ton. Last year the citizens of that
section decided that they required a
modern sewage disposal system. They
petitioned for 1t, bonds were issued,
the contract was awarded to William
Ryan of Woodbridge and the work
was started. Owing to war conditions,
shortage of labor, difficulty in holding
men after they were employed, the
high cost of and difficulty In securing
materials and other contributing a C
tors caused great Inconvenience and
delays, but the sewer was laid.
But, the sewer exists as a pipe line
under New Brunswick avenue with
a few feeders into cross streets. In
its present condition it is useless and
no sewage can be turned into it as
there is no a of disposing of 1t.
Septic tanks are planned, but there
have been none erected; taps into
residences and properties on both
sides OF the emu will be necessary,
but they ave not been dug. Each
time a property wner desires to con-
meet his property with the trunk sew
err the street will again be dug up.
Each tap means a new break In the
road and a cash n the existing
pavement and the pavement that will
be aid when the contractor finishes
what he started, the reconstruction of
the pavement. The septic tank will
come, that is promised. 1t will come
later. 1t will ONE when materials
are not so high and so scarce.
Meanwhile the sewer is a pipe line,
filed with air n promise and the
residents of Fords and Keasbey are
in nothing but a roadway in front of
their properties hat resembles, after
