see that the waste in 1920 is as
great as it was in 1909.

individual pays for the whole
quantity OF water that runs from
his spigots. at minimum not ex-

would promptly see that he did
not pay for water that was vast

or measuring Of water has been
strongly opposed in some places
and more strongly advocated in
others. 1t is sound i'll principle
There is no argument like it as

Fifty gallons OF water per in

question that here in Annapolis
we are using more than double

OF Laight Street
Members of Social Club Re-
sent Intrusion at Block
Party; Two Held and Four
Are Fined in Tombs Court

The Laight Street Social Club gave
a block party Saturday night. Re-
freshments were served at an orange
aade stand and dancing was greatly en-
yoyed. A score Of members of the
Lalght Street younger set attended. as
did Patrolman Cummings, of the Beach
Street station.
Dancing was going merrily on about
l a. m. yesterday when Patrolman
Cummings entered, but he had not been
invited.
"All you byes an gurrls run along
home now" Patrolman Cummings re-
marked in greeting.
The suggestion was received unfa-
vorably, and Cummings was invited to
go and soak his head, or, failing that,
to jump off the dock.
Patrolman Cummings, attempting to
back his authority az a social mentor
with the majesty of the law, got mucn
the worst Of it. 1t was not until many
loud blasts upon his whistle had
brought Patrolman Theodore Raphael
to his rescue that Cummings was per
mitted to arise from a recumbent posi-
tion on the pavement, where half a
dozen of the best known leaders of
the Laight Street younger set were
buslly inflicting painful bruises upon
his anatomy

attempt at General
Strike or Baltimore
Railroads Is Failure
From. q Special Corresoonde.t

From Special Correspondent
BALTIMORE, June 27.-With the
failure to-day of the insurgent strikers
to make good their boast that general
walk-out.would occur and that by night
fall not a wheel would be turning or
any of the three systems which link
this city with the outside world. the
local strike situation appears to have
reacher the limit. The response tc
the general strike summons was not of
such nature as to indicate any decide d
additions to the ranks of the dissatis-
fed.
While passenger trains service over
the Western Maryland Road is main
tanned, not single freight train has
lett local terminals in two days. Nearly
$500 workers on this line at Hapers-
town are out.
The Pennsylvania made good head
way to-day. Superintendent Smith said
he had thirty-four crews at work which
handled 1900 cars. The Pennsylvania
has removed all restrictions on out
going freight.
The Baltimore & Ohio operated in
its local yards upon a 20 per cent
smaller basis than on Saturday, bring
ing its average for the day to about 30
per cent Of normal. Possibly the great
est loss suffered to-day by this road
was at Fairmount, w. Va. to which
place the strike spread for the first
time and freight traffic there stopped.

General Strike Called
After Mutiny in Italy
Chamber Compelled to Suspend
When Destination of
Troops Is Demanded

ROME, June 27.-A general strike
has been called at Ancone, growing out
Of the trouble which resulted when
members OF the 11th Bersaglieri Regi-
ment mutinied upon receipt of orders
10 leave that place. The situation is
reported to be acute.
The Chamber of Deputies was twice
suspended Saturday during the discus
sion of the Ancona situation and the
governments policy with regard to AL
bania. Signor Bonomi, Minister of
War assured the House that the mu-
tiny of the Bersaglieri had terminate
and that the officers had resumed COM
mand of the troops. He added, how
ever, that certain anarchist elements
had taken advantage of the situation
to perform acts of violence.
When the Socialists insisted that
Signor Bonomi tell the Chamber where
the troops were being sent from An
coma there was a great tumult in the
Chamber and the president suspended
the sitting.
When the sitting was resumed Prem
ier Giolitti was challenged on the sub
ject of Avlona. To the challenge he
replied that the. Italian troops in the
Albanian town were attacked by the
enemy and had to defend themselves
This provoked another uproar, and
again the sitting was suspended.

1000 Workmen Involved
Removal of Three Foremen

Others Among Objects
Special Dispatch to Tho Trfbuns

PHILADELPHIA, June 27.-Unless
the officials Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road agree by eleven a. m. Tuesday
to grant the five demands formulated d
by the advisory board of the Phila-
delphia and Camden federations of the
Pennsylvania Lines, following a vote
of all the men concerned, the thou
sands of members of the six shop
crafts of the Pennsylvania, together
with thousands of clerks, freight
handlers, firemen, trainmen and teleg-
raphers, will walk out. virtually tie
ing up the entire Eastern system of
men tonight. About 1000 workers
are involved.
The two most important demands
made by the railroad workmen include
the immediate removal of three fore
men in local shops, and the immediate
reinstatement of "all gang leaders or
foremen who ceased work with the
other employees, with full seniority
and no prejudice or discrimination"
The demands were presented by let
ter to all the officials of the Pennsyl-
vania by H. S. Jeffrey, chairman of the
advisory board, to-day, upon his return
from conference held in Harrisburg
with other leaders.
Road Officials Silent
Officials of the Pennsylvania refused
to make any statement. They were un-
able to state whether the possible re-
fusal of the demands would or would
not create a serious situation.
Jeffrey said the refusal of the work
ers' demands would result in virtually
complete tie-up of the Pennsylvania
Railroad lines in both freight and pas
senger traffic.
The six shop crafts threatening to
walk out include the International AS
tional Brotherhood of Blacksmiths and
Helpers, the international Brotherhood
Of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders
and Helpers of America, the Amaga-
mated Sheet Metal Workers. Interna-
tional Alliance and the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and
the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen Of
America.
Summary of Demands
The letter containing the demands
of the workers, which was sent to all
the officials of the Pennsylvania to-
day. says in part:
sation of work ballot was circulated
for the removal of certain foremen.
The vote to date is ALL for and IA

hyeakers, walking west on Federal
Street, were met by mob of 200
strikers who began to throw bricks
There were no police in the neighbor-
hood.
Shooting Becomes General
Two minutes after the bricks began
AyinS some one fired 8 revolver. This
was the signal for general shooting,
and as the two groups of men came
together knives and clubs were flashed.
A pitched battle followed. Shop
keepers and housekeepers along Fed
ersi Street, who had been sitting on
their front steps, ducked inside for
safety and then ran into the upper
floors or the cellars. Windows were
smashed by bricks and bullets.
The riot had been underway for five
or ten minutes and most of the damage
had been done before any one thought
Of sending in riot call. Police from
four stations responded.
Scatter When Police Arrive
When the sound Of gongs on patrol
wagons heralded the approach of the
police the men ceased fighting and
scattered. Police rushed the injured
and dying to the hospitals.
Afterward an effort was made to
round up some of the strikers, but the
only man arrested near the scene was

for possible identification by some of
the victims.
The police have placed guards over
