The row between the Western Union
Telegraph company and the admins
tration has reached the acute stage.
1t has to do with the laying Of GER
tain cables at Biscayne bay, Miami,
Fla, permission for which was grant
ed some time ago Connected with 1t
was the attempt to land a cable from
Barbados, which the Navy department
prevented. The company thereupon
declined to carry further messages for
the State department at reduced rates,
and the Navy department threatened
to destroy the bay cable If the con-
struction work was not stopped. The
company applied for an injunction to
restrain Secretary Daniels from in
terferlng with the work, and the next
day Secretary Of War Baker revoked
the permit for the laying of the ca
bles. The courts must now decide the
entire matter.

Though attacked bitterly by the OPP
position press and members of parli-
ament for this Dublin affair as well
as for Its Irish policy generally, the
government defended its position with
extraordinary tenacity, and to support
1t made public captured documents
which were said to expose Sim Fem
plots for campaign of terrorism In
England, including assassinatlOnS and
the destruction Of property by dyna-
mite and fire. In the house of COM
mons Wednesday night Lloyd George
scored a notable victory. Former Pre-
mler Asqulth moved a resolution ex-
pressing adherence of the Dublin as
sassinatIOns and condemning the re-
prisalS and urging immediate steps
to pacify Ireland. Col. John Ward by
an amendment changed the motion
into an expression of admiration for
the courage of the crown forces in
Ireland, and this was adopted by a
vote of BOB to SO, amid the cheers Of
the governments supporters.

An echo Of the Irish trouble was
heard in New York Thanksgiving day,
when an English mob undertook
to sack the Union club on Fifth ave-
nue. On the club building was flying
the American flag between British and
French flags and the manager was
asked to remove the British emblem.
He complied, but later the flag was re-
placed, and then the mob attacked the
building, breaking all its windows
aud destroying most Of its paintings
and furnishings before the police
could dispense It,
The American commission on condi-
lions in Ireland is hearing many wit
nesses and has now decided to send a
special committee to conduct a first
hand investigation. 1t is made up Of
Maj. Oliver p. Newman of Washing
ton, Rev. DR., Norman Thomas and
Arthur Gleason Of New York and ]. II.
Maurer, president of the Pennsylvania

ACT To ACCEPT
WAGE AWARD
While Some Are on "vaca-
ton" at Coal Mines, New
Scale Likely to be Approved

BY The Associated Press.
SCRANTON, Pa, Sept 2:-While
many mine workers throughout the
hard coal fields remained, on what
they termed vacation" as pro-
test against the terms of the award
of the anthracite coal commission,
the scale committee representing
operators and workers met in joint
conference today for the purpose OF
finally accepting the award after six
months OF negotiation, investigation
and arbitration.
The scale committee of the mi
ners union having agreed at Hazel
ton yesterday to accept the award
under protest to be followed by the
making of new demands it~ is ex-
pected a settlement soon would be
reached. 1t was said that the oper-
ators might balk at signing the
agreement at once, while thousands
of men are idle.
The signing of the new wage
scale carries with it the paying of
s1S,000,000 to the miners of back
pay dating from April L; as the
miners do not care to lose their
back wages they will take no
chances, and the leaders will urge
the men to return to work.
The union leaders declare the
men who went on vacation" did
so without sanction of the organiza-
ton.

DEADLOCK IN
B'KLYN STRIKE
Much Bitterness Shown Be-
tween Men and Strike
breakers Brought in.

BY The Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2-The strike
of b. r. 7. Company employees that
has crippled the service of the lines
since last Sunday, appeared to have
evolved today into a deadlock with
considerable bitterness in evidence
between strikers and 5000 strike
breakers brought in by the COM
pany Little hope of peaceful set
tlement was seen by the strikers, the
company or the would-be riding
public.
Following the refusal to accept
the proposal of Federal Judge
Mayer, legal custodian of the lines
to submit all but wage questions to
arbitration Mayor Hylan was consid-
ering a counter proposal of the men
that the company make an offer of
a wage increase acceptable to Judge
Mayer and all other questions be ar
bitrated. One cf the big bones of
contention is Judge Mayors refusal
to permit arbitration of the wage
increase because he held an award
today might be ruinous to the al
ready involved line.

Available Today--Big lump
in Roosevelt; Other Figures

Census figures given out at
Washington today, show the popula-
ton OF Middlesex county to be 162,-
334. an increase of 47,908 over. the
1910 figures. This jump in popula-
tion. which is Il 3 per cent, was not
as large as many expected, q conser-
vation estimate havingsbeen 10000
for this county. In practically all
localities this year, however, the
census figures as officially announced
by Washington failed to live up to
the expectations Of residents in the
communities effected.
The borough of Roosevelt had one
of the biggest gains in population of
any place in the county during the
past ten years, according to figures
available for the first time today.
Roosevelt, consisting of Chrome and
Carteret. now has a population of
11,047, which is an increase OF 6, ,264
over that of 1910. This figure rep
resents a 90.s per cent jump in pop
ulation, or almost double that of ten
years ago. Another census figure
which came from Washington today
was that of South River, which now
has a population Of $3.50, an in
crease of 1.S24 or 1872 per cent over
that of 1910.
Perth Amboys population. although
estimated at $4,000 during the draft
two years ago. has been found to be
only 41,707 by the official census
takers. This number represents an
increase of 1856 in population over
that in 1910, difference of 2S.8 per
cent. Perth Amboy's population in
1910 was 32,121.
South Amboy, according to the Of
fetal census figures. now has a po-
pulation of 1897. an increase of $50
or 1871 per cent.
Middlesex county has about 81. 500
more residents than Monmouth coun.
ty, according to today's figures. Mon
mouths population is 104,906, an in
crease of 10,172 or 10.7 per cent
over that of 1910. OF the Monmouth
county towns nearest Perth Amboy
Freehold has taken the largest jump
in population. Freehold's population
is now Ass as compared TO s,622

In 1910 Perth Amboy was rated
as being the 10th largest city in
the United States. This years fig-
ures are not complete for the entire

old, of 335 Madison avenue, en-
ployed at the EVENING NEWS

afternoon.
One of the rolls of paper had
torn while going through the press

Inside Facts About Postal
Service In Present Jam

men hate their jobs. and many OF
hem think they are perfectly justifed
in cheating Uncle Sam by loafing, as
much as possible. The old-time civil
service employe has high standards
of integrity, but they are rapidly
leaving the service.
The Chicago postoffice is now the
dumping ground of all the strikers
in the city. At the present time,
nearly 500 of the outlaw switch
men," who broke from their parent
organization last spring, are working
in the postoffice.
They Laugh At Their Jobs.
The labor turnover is desperately
costly. AS soon as a man learns a
process of distributing mail he Is
hired away by another employer.
The morale of the posfonice
is broken. The men do not care.
Il could make more money digging
bitches. said one. My eighteen
year -old boy makes more money than
I do" said another.
The preponderance of temporary
substitutes over former years is
startling evidence of the disintegra-
tion of the postofice. In June OF
1915 there were only 52S employees
who were substitutes. The rest OF
the 6169 employees were under civil
service. Now there are at least zOVO
temporary substitutes working. They
are interested only in short-time en-
ployment.
The postal service is headed for
disaster. Unless congress does some-
thing to increase the wages, 10 make
the service more attractive. TO better
working conditions. and to develop
a healthy morale among the men.
business men the country over will
be the losers by millions of dollars.
