NAME SUGGESTIONS
STILL COMING IN

Mrs. S. F. Simonds, of 40 Lincoln
street, Richmond, suggests that a
simple name with a dignified sound
would be very appropriate and sub.
mits World Army Loyal Legion, or
Wayne American Loyal Legion, as
suitable names for the Wayne county
post of the American Legion.
Mrs. Simonds calls attention to the
fact that the first letters in the four
words of her suggestions spell w. A.
l.. l.. or "Wall". w. A. l.. L. which to
her is suggestive of the wall that
kept the Huns" from our doors or
the wall Of men that surrounded
the kaiser's legions and caused them
to surrender.
]. w. Hoey, of 500 North Eighteenth
street, suggests: THE Wayne Patriot
ic Legion of the Worlds League OF
Patriotism and Democracy"
Paul Battenburg, 101 South Ninth
street suggests Wayne County Legion
of American Doughboys," and thinks
that as this was the name the boys
carried throughout the war, it ought
to be commemorated in peace
]. +. Foster, of the Union Station
asks why the single word "Wayn
diana" would not be appropriate.

they simply presented their demands
and walked out of the plant, without

slider any of them.

Expect Early End to
Pittsburgh Car Strike
(By Associated Press)

<NSSOSA0SNN
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 16-Hopes that
the strike of three thousand motor
men and conductors Of the Pittsburgh
street railway company which has tied
up transportation here since Thursday
midnight would be settled within a
few days were entertained, following
a conference this morning between the
receivers Of the company, represent
atives Of the strikers and Mayor e. "
Babcock. A settlement Of the wage
dispute by compromise was proposed.
The compromise figure mentioned
a nine cents an hour increase. The
receivers have been firm in their stand
of six cents an hour increase, re-
national war labor board while the
carmen stick to their original demand
Of IL cents an hour.
In case the strike is not settled
within a few days there is a POSSIBLE
ity that the receivers may ignore the
local division Of the Amalgamated as
association Of street and electric rail-
way employees. In a statement issued
last night receivers asserted that col
lective bargaining with the division
was a failure and that the only course
open was to return to dealing with
employees as individuals.
Hope Of the receivers for a settle
ment through the efforts of w. D.
Mahon. interna tional president Of the
Carmen's association, was practically
abandoned last night when word
came from Detroit that President
Mahon did not intend to come to
Pittsburgh unless requested to do SO
by the strikers.
