be Discharged Brings Men
to Terms.

The embargo on outgoing local freight
was lifted by the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road today. This sudden Improvement in
conditions, on the road which has been
hardest hit bv the strike recently, is due
TO an ultimatum issued by the company
yesterday to its striking employees. This
was warning that all men who did not
report by noon Yesterday would be dis
charged. The result was a scramble TO
get back on the job. and according TO the
company all places are filled today.
Other roads report holiday stagnation
with regard TO both strikes and embargoes
The Pennsylvania Is continuing with
conditions normal except for the shortage
of four crews that has existed in the Balti
more yards for some time. Local officials
said today that no change was expected
before the announcement by the Wage
Board of its decision regarding the wage
demands of the men. Philadelphia and
Reading officials were also more hopeful
today. Although there was no change in
the situation on their lines, one of them
declared that he hoped the holiday would
cure the strikers Of their longing for
vacation and that they would be on the

FARMERS ARE HIT.
Many Feel the Effects Of the Strike on
the Railroads.

Easton, Md, July 3-Railroad troubles
will be directly responsible for much
loss to the farmer this year, unless some
relief is soon effected. From the present
outlook in this county, the tomato crop
is jeopardized by the lack of cans. Talbot
Gamers up to today have not received
can for their pack this year, the only
ones available being few left over from
last year.
A fairly large acreage is reported in
tomatoes and, while few have contracted
with the cannners, many more have not,
relaying on the open market for the dis
position of their crop. But if the Gamers
are unable to get containers they will
have no use for the tomatoes. Strikes
and disputes among the can factories have
curtailed the output, while the railroads
have been unable to move tin plate fast
enough TO meet the demand
The pea pack was large this year, which
took all the cans available for that
Corn Gamers have a very small supply Of
cans, mostly left over from last year
Conditions began to be realized by the
farmer this week, with the result that
the Gamers were besicged on every hand
to contract

ONLY GREAT CARE
WILL SAVE LIFE
Precautions Issued by the Con-
servation and Fire Prevention
Committee.

Members Of the executive committee
OF the Conservation and Fire Prevention
Committee Of this city this morning
expressed much qualification at the nu-
merous evidences of public cooperation
IN Its efforts to safeguard the children
IRON harm during the celebration Of the
glorious Fourth. While disappointed that
the city fathers declined to assist in this
work by passing the anti-sparkler ordin-
ance, It is felt that the awakening of the
people to the danger latent in the incan-
descent core Of the sparkler and FIRE
stick would have the effect of reducing
the chances of injury to the children
and property damage through consequent
tres through increased care and decrease
In their use.
Yesterday the committee conducted
some interesting experiments with both
giant sparklcrs and "fre-sticks," which
comprise vari-colored fire attached to
hight wooden sticks. The danger to
property through the dropping Of in
candescent PARTICLES during the burning
OF the tire-sticks is great, and warning IS
gwen also of the danger due TO the tenency
to throw down the burning stick after
the fire has been consumed.
The committee has appealed to the
public again TO refrain from purchasing
the dangerous brands Of fireworks, which
are prohibited by ordinance, and to
exercise the greatest care in the use of any
brands at all. The Viglantes Com
mlttee of the Safety Council, which did
splendid work in reducing the number of
automobile accidents due 10 infractions of
traffic ordinances and recklessness, is
maintaining a careful watch for infrac-
tions Of the fireworks ordinance, while at
the same time feeling that general OBJ
Of the law will make it unneces-
sary to take drastic action.

TRACTION CO.'S TROUBLES.
Management Says They are Due 10 Caus-
es Beyond IFS Control.

The Wilmington & Philadelphia Trac-
ton Co. today issued the following state
ment.
The recent interruptions TO our raul
way and light and power service have
been due TO causes entirely beyond the
control Of the company namely: Severe
lightning storms the failure oil a number
of underground cables at our power plant,
and the impossibility Of securing sutfi-
Gent deliveries of good coal. The electrical
storms have been the most severe that
we have ever experienced and caused
considerable damage not only to our lines,
but to those OF all other wire companies.
The cables which burned up at the
power plant were new, of the most APP
proved design, supplied by one o. the best
manufacturers and installed by us few
months ago at a cost three times what the
same cables would have cost q few years
ago. After working successfully for sew
eral months they broke down, one after
the other without warning. These cables
have now been entirely replaced our
operating forces having worked day and
night TO this end
I'VE use about 500 tons o. coal every
"a hours. The coalshortage Is at the present
time more serious than II was at any time
during the war. At the beginning of the
first railroad strike we had two months
supply Of coal in our storage yard, and
adequate contracts for AL Of our require
mcnts. During the strike We didn Il receive
scarcely any coal for about eight weeks
and the shipments have since been In
sufficient and spasmodic. We have advices
from the contractors that 90 cars of coal
consigned 10 Us are now on the railroads,
only few Of which have been received
in Wilmington
I'VE regret exceedingly any Interrupt
tons or insufficiency to our service, and
trust with the above explanation the
public will understand the cases and ap-
preciate that they are entirely beyond
o,,r oC,frol -
