WATER RATE INCREASE OF
MORE THAN 500 PER CENT
lrOnwoOd Board of Water Commis-
s'Oners Recommends that Hurley's
Rate Be Fixed at 20 Cents.

An increase of more than 5oo
per cent in water rates to Hurley
consumers would result should the
city Co9pcil of Ironwood accept the
recommendation of the city's board
OF water commissioners. At a
meeting OF the board Monday even
ing II was recommended that the
council enter into a contract with
the Hurley Water company, the
concern which owns and controls
the water equipment i'll Hurley
and which is controlled by the
lronwood & Bessemer Railway and
Light company. for one year at a
rate OF 20 cents per 900 gal
Ions.
Under the arrangement recon-
mended by the water board the
rate would become effective the
first of July. An attempt by some
members of the board to make the
water company pay for water
furnished during the past several
months under the recommended
rate of 20 cents failed. 1t was fin.
ally decided that the water comp
any be charged the old rate of :
3-4 cents per 1 900 gallons for
water furnished during the months
of April and May, II cents for
June and that beginning July
the rate of 20 cents would be eff
fective.
Last June the controlling inte-
rests in the Hurley Water company
filed with the state railroad com.
mission an application for permis-
sion to increase water rates in Hur-
ley. The date for the hearing in
the matter was set for July 8 at
Madison, but later was postponed
to July 20. The company asked
that it be allowed to increase its
rates to IS cents per 900 gallons.
The result of the hearing may be
expected in a short time.
Should the commission grant the
increase TO IS cents it would not be
sufficient, according to the recon-
mendation of the Ironwood water
board, which thinks that the rate
should be 20 cents. Evidently
Ironwood is finding it expensive to
furnish water from its new source
of supply, and since Hurley CON
sumers are furnished water from
the same source it may be expected
that they will have to bear part of
the burden.

Further Cut in Steel Wages.

Further reductions of wages in
the steel industry, which in turn
may lead to new cuts in steel prices.
are predicted in the mid week trade
reviews. They are given weight
by the fact that recent price reduc-
tons have failed to stimulate de
mand and also because German
and Belgian steel is being offered
in this country and others con
siderably below American quota
tions.
Less rather than more buying
has followed the formal posting of
the new steel price lists last week,
and steel works operations have
not improved, " the Iron Age says.
Buyers do not question that prices
are generally below cost, but they
need little steel and wait the effect
of labor and freight adjustments.
The hopeful developments are the
certainty of government action re-
leasing many millions to the rail
roads, the continued award of car
repair orders, greater activity at
automobile works and an increase
in pig iron buying.
Further wage reductions by
independent steel companies went
into effect July 10. The rate for
common labor is reduced from ~
10 80 cents an hour, making the
total reduction from the peak about
+ s. per cent. The Steel corporation
by abolishing the eight hour basic
day comes to 81 cents an hour for
common labor. There are predic-
tlons of IS cent rate before the
downward movement is stopped as
against ~ cents before the war.
Rails are the chief item of ex
port. On $500 tons for Argentina

lowest bid from the United States
was S92.l5. While offers Of Belgian
and German steel in the United

ported, sales do not result and all
offers Of continental steel have been
ignored. although at $40 a ton

Finest Of All Soaps.

tiYes when they meet.
: The Gibraltars won from the
Cardinals last Sunday, and their
press agent had a glowing story
about thtir wonderful bali playing
and heavy smuggling batsmen who
knocked the ball to all parts of the
lot. Pretty stories, nicely colored,
by a dream writer, especially one
connected with winning team, are
nice &toE. read by his team mates.
They are welcome to all the glory
won, but he facts concerning the
game should be explained for bene-
eft of those who did notswitness the
contest. Neidfeldt, pitching for The
Cardinals, had plenty of steam pow
er beaind his offerings and his pur-
pose was to keep the ball high
across the breast-so as to keep the
batsman from hitting it, but instead
Of having strikes awarded him;
many tases on balls were charged
against rim that meant runs for the
victors. The Cardinals were not in
form last. Sunday because they had
rot pract:ced together this year and
many errors were made on that ac.
count. Later in the season when
the >Gibraltars visit this city to play
the Cardinals a return game, they
will not have such an easy time
winning as they had last Sunday.
In the coming battle between the
Cardinals ard Stauntons, Manager
Harvey Crun,p will select the test

LAURA'S SUSPENSION
STIRS POLITICIANS
District Attorney Lewis Un-
able to Penetrate Mystery
of Secret Influence.

Democratic circles in Brooklyn wer'
stirred yesterday over the suspension OF
Thursday Of Michael Laura. Deputy
Street Cleaning, Commissioner for Brook
lyn. and Tammany candidate for Sheriff
Of Kings county. Laura was suspended
by Street Cleaning Commissioner Johr
p. Leo following the use of his name IL
a telephone message to William ]. Hun.
ter. clerk of the Seventh District Mag.
istrate's Court Of Brooklyn, in behalf Of
Philip McManus. an official of the
Street Cleaners Protective Union, who
was charged with felonious assault by
Michael Keleher. another employee Of
the department
Conflicting testimony marked the at
tempt Of District Attorney Harry e
Lewis Of Kings to get to the bottom OF
the mystery. He undertook his investi-
cation at the instance Of Magistrate
Casper ]. Liota and the indications
were yesterday that before 1t is con-
cluded inquiry will be made into what
is said to have become a too common
practice by Kings county politicians
that of attempting to exercise influence
in behalf Of minor offenders.
There was rumor last night, how
ever, that Commissioner Leo had recon-
sidered his action and would shortly an
nounce the reinstatement Of his deputy
who would then apply for leave Of abb
sence without pay until after election.
Commissioner Leo had left the city for
the week end last night and the rumor
could not be confirmed.
District Attorney Lewis appeared not
to regard the incident as of unusual
Importance. A certain amount of solicit
tude on the part of politicians for organ
ization members in minor troubles in
the courts was to be expected, he said
but unauthorized use of the names OF
higher officials by subordinates was
something that could not be tolerated.
Court Clerk Hunter declared that he
had been called on the telephone by
some one who said he represented
Deputy Commissioner Laura. The caller
wanted to know the status of McManus's S
case; whether the defendant had a
lawyer. and, II not. whether the case
could not be continued until counsel had
been obtained.
John Savarese, one Of Laura's politi-
cal lieutenants, was accused of making
the call on his own initiative and with
out permission Of Laura. Laura said
Savarese had been in the habit of doing
this. and had been doing 1t for seven
years Savarese denied that he ever
had made such a call without direct
instructions from Deputy Commissioner
Laura, and added that when he tried to
get the Clerk of the Court he was told
A. o.x1 - <u1lr 4
with no one. Court Clerk Hunter was
unable to identify the voice that In
quired regarding McManus's case.
District Attorney Lewis said that FOR
the present he was through with his
investigation, although here might be
some loose ends to be cleared up next
week.

CALLS CHICAGO GIRLS
WORSE THAN THE BOYS
Chief Probation Officer Of
fers Statistical Proof.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YoRR HERALD.
CHICAGO, Oct. 14.--Chicago boys are
better than Chicago girls. Joseph l..
Moss. chief probation officer OF the Juve-
nile Court. who knows all about city
boys and girls, says 80. What is more,
he AYERS that the boys are improving at
faster rate than the girls. Records
Just compiled provide the statistics.
Girls are worse than boys" asserts
Mr.. Moss. Figures. based on the re-
ports for 1921, show that there were
fewer delinquent boy cases brought into
the Juvenile Court this year than last.
On the other hand, there was an increase
in the number Of delinquent girl hear
ings. It used to he automatic that the
average girl is better than the average
boy, but that's now a tradition"
