RAILROAD STRIKE
CONDITION remains
CRITICAL ON c. & 0.
Only Four Fast Passenger Trains OPP
Grating on Main Line-LOcal d.
vision Of the l.. & n. Has Not
Been Materially Affect.
ed as Yet.

The strike of railroad workers over
the nation Is causing very serious
condition along the main line Of the
c. & o. railroad and the strike Is be-
ginning to be felt in Maysville. The
boats are loaded to their limits but
yet the general tie-up is being badly
felt in most all lines of business and
Is proving quite inconvenient to the
travelling public.
On the c. & o. of Indiana today all
passenger service was discontinued,
all freight service having been dis
continued yesterday and on the main
line of the c. & o. through Maysville
only four passenger trains are operat
ing, the last of the local trains being
removed Thursday night and all
freight trains being tied up Thursday.
The trains operating are the two daily
trains from Cincinnati to Washington,
No Q and No. and the two westbound
trains from Washington to Cincinnati,
No. 8 and No. 5. Many of the trains
in local service between points In West
Virginia and in Kentucky were discon-
tinued late Thursday. The remainder,
including the trains between Cincin-
natl and Huntington, w. Va, and Gin
cinnati and Ashland, KY, were discon-
tinued Friday. These conditions will
prevail until the men return to work,
c. & o. officials said Every effort will
| be made, however, to keep the four
trains between Cincinnati and Wash
ington in operation.
The Louisville & Nashville railroad,
although operating under difficulties
because of the strike of its shopmen
and yard mechanics in Covington and
at other points, was maintaining its
passenger service Friday. L. & N. Of
ficials, however, were unwilling to
make any prediction as to how long
they could continue full passenger op-
erations.
The strike has not been felt on the
Maysville division of the L. & N. as
yet except that there are embargoes on
freight shipments into certain parts
of the south. All freight and passeng-
er trains on this division of the L. &
N. were in operation Friday.
| All mail except fragile parcel post,
which cannot be thrown from NOV
ing train, is being handled over this
division of the c. & o. as fast trains
are handling it and at stations where
the fast trains do not make regular
stops. the mail is being dumped at the
station.
The Maysville yard crew on the c.
& o. and the section men are not
working.

COMMITTEE WILCOX
INTO COST OF WATER
SYSTEM IN THIS CITY
Major w. L. Glazler Employed to Give
Special Committee Estimate on
Worth Of Present System and
Cost Of New Pumping
Station, Reservoirs
and Mains.

The first meeting of the special
committee of City Council appointed
to look into the advisability of build
ing municipal owned water pumping
station, reservoirs and distribution
system was held in the Council Com
mittee room at the Court House this
afternoon at two o'clock
Major w. L. Glazier, of Newport, for
mer City Engineer, who only few
days ago returned from France where
he had served many months as Major
in the Engineer Corps of the United
States Army, was present at the re-
quest Of the committee.
After presenting the situation to
Major Glazier and explaining to him
the condition which the city faced last
week, the committee employed him to
make survey of the condition in gen.
\ eral and to make recommendations to
them. Major Glazier will investigate
the Maysville Water Company's plant
| Will pldSO O iah
| estimate on the worth of the COM
pany's holdings here. He will also
make Investigations and ascertain the
probable cost of a complete new plant
and reservoirs much larger than those
now used by the Maysville Water Com
pany as we'll as a complete dlstribu-
ton system and the installation of
water meters in all homes.
1t will probably require several
weeks for Major Glazler to ascertain
all these facts and complete the ne
cessary figures but they will be pre-
sented to the committee at the earliest
possible moment. The engineer will
return here Monday to begin work.
Except for the employment Ct this
expert engineer the committee trans
| acted no other business.

Huntington township
1t is doubtful If there Is spot Of
rural land in any section of the Unit
ed States, the same area, that has
given as many young men to the
American army during the world war
as Huntington township did. This old
district has always furnished a great
many soldiers in each war but in the
World War, she broke her previous
records and out did herself. Some
twenty-five or thirty of the young men
of that district did not wait for the
draft law to call them but volunteered
with the Manchester National Guard
Company and yet the township gave
its pro rata in the draft as we'll.
Thursdays program Is being work
ed out in detail by committee man
aging the affair. There will be band
music and a banquet and Thursday
evening a grand ball in honor of the
soldiers at the Masonic building.
The entire day will be crowded with
interesting features and every soldier
in the township has expressed a will
ingness to attend. The Huntington
township men who made the Supreme
Sacrifice will have their memories fit
