NOT TO EXPEL MEMBERS

WASHINGTON. July II (By The
Associated Press)-The apparently
increasing seriousness of the railroad
strike continued today to engage the
attention Of government officials, Tut
action was for the moment withheld
while everything possible was being
done to straighten out the coal sit
uation.
Second Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Henderson announced today
that there were only four places in
the United States where railroad
postal service had been seriously in
terrupted. He did not give these
places, but said motor truck service
had been successfully installed to
take the place of trains.
NEW YORK, July 17.-Sixty
deputy United States marshals to-
day were sent to the Jersey City
Railroad to reinforce 100 assigned
anG Port Jervis yards of the Erie
Saturday to prevent strike interfer-
ence with transportation of the

Leaders of the shop craft men de-
clare the Erie's request for more
guards was more evidence tha'
the road is on the brink of break k
down, due to shortage of locomotives

MOTHERS COT
WRONG BABIES
Baby Carriages Just Alike
Lead to kidnapping Scare
in Market Here

A mixup of two babies in baby
carriages in the City Market Satur-
day morning caused considerable
stir for few moments at that
place when it was thought at first
that a case of kidnapping had taken
place. Two young women had en-
tered the market, each with car
riage alike and on each carriaSa ,
was a white covering and on each
covering was a blue bow denoting
that each was a baby boy.
Both were doing their Saturday
shopping unmindful of the other.
One had finished shopping and see
ing a carriage which she believed
was her own with a future pre5i-
dent nesting within started IN
wheel her darling home. When the
second woman had finished she too
went to the carriage believed to
have been her own and when she
laid the parcel of meat which she
had purchased in the front of the
carriage discovered that the baby
within was not her own.
With a cry that someone hai
stolen her baby the frantic woman
dashed out of the door only to he
met by the first woman returning
with the other carriage on finding
her mistake after she had gone
about a block from the market.
Both had al good laugh after the
hasty tears were dried and they
both went on their way rejoicing
that nothing had happened to
either of the precious little ones.

No Loss of Life Results in
Break That Delays New
England Trains

CHICOPEE. Mass, July 17-Ap-
parently no loss of life resulted from
the bursting of two dams on the
Willimansett today that sent 20,000,-
900 gallons of water rushing down
the valley to inundate a considerable
section of Willimansett.
A score OF dwellings, were swept
from their foundations and many
were carried a considerable distance.
Dozens of smaller buildings were
swept away.
Panis reigned among the resi-
dents of the locality as they were
awakened ty the roar of the rushing
water. Many at first rushed out in
an effort to escape, but instead turn
ed their attention to removing chill
dren, older persons and personal be-
longings to upper stories.
Tracks of the Boston e. Maine suf-
fered heavy damage. The south
bound White Mountain express from
Montreal to New York, was detouted
at Northampton, nine miles north of
Holyoke ard sent over the North

trains were held up temporarily.
Shortly after daylight one line of
the railroad was in shape TO operate.

vote together and fight together"
There has been some slight dis
order and a few scabs have been
hurt" he said. This has been the
extent of the violence but it has
been sufficient to bring to the strik-
ers what they fought for in the late
world war The federal government
announces through the department
of justice that it will stand no trif-
ling on the part of the strikers and
If necessary armed force will be
used
IF in the light of this situation
you do not realize the crying need
for unity, for solidarity on every
front regardless of creed or color
you are indeed in a pathetic plight
and your case is all but hopeless.
Your weak craft unions have got
to be converted into a powerful in
dustrial union and you have got to
cut lose once and for all from the
rotten political parties of your mas
ters. Your interests as workers and
and there is no earthly reason why
those who are employed in the same
industry should belong to different
unions or give their vote to different

GREAT SEWER
PLANS MADE
Will Care for Entire Southern
Section of City, Aldermen
Announce
WITH END OF CROSSINGS
City Engineer in Conference
With City on Grade Cross
Elimination Plans
WITH END OF CROSSINGS

The aldermen plan to take care
OF the sewage outlet system in the
southern section of the city when
the new sewer system, made neces-
sary by the grade crossing elimina
ton, is worked out to care for the
section of the city west of the rail-
road tracks This matter came up
for discussion Friday night at the
a!dermanic committee session and
City Engineer Senator Morgan f.
Larson outlined plan whereby
both the western and southern sec
tions of the city could be cared for
at the same time.
Residents near the water front
along Raritan river have been pro-
testing for years against the present
sever outlet system. The pipes are
not sufficiently long enough to ex-
tend out past the low water mark
and as a result the discharge from
these sewers flows on top OF the
mud, thus making it not only un-
slightly and odorous but unsanltary
as we'll. 1t is impossible to bathe
in the river along shore under the
present conditions.
Protests have come from residents
residing near the foot of High street,
State street, Brighton avenue, Catal-
pa avenue, Madison avenue, FIRST
and Second streets, the latest petit
ton having been presented to the AL
dermen at their last meeting. The
residences in that petition threatened
tc take the matter up with - state
lr;oard of Health if the a~1rmen
again failed to act.
At Friday nights committee ses-
sion Alderman John E. Sof1eld who
represents the first ward. brought
the subject up for discussion and the
city engineers views were sought in
order to solve the question.
A sewer plan is now being devised
to care for the section of the city ly-
ing est of the railroad tracks. Tnls
trunk sewer will run parallel to the
new route of TIL. tracks and vii! be
sufficiently large to care for all OF
the sewer lines that care for this
section of the city. The new trunk
sewer, under the present plan, will
swing to the east when it reaches
or nears the Ra-itan River and con-
t.nue along the southern water front
tc receive the sewers now emptylng
ysparately into the river.

man"

in the honesty ond competency of
this man who the health commits

REBELS HOLD
CITY Of CORK
In Control of City---Much
Looting Reported--No
Free State Action

BELFAST, July II (By The As
sociated Press) s):-Reports reaching
here today represent the city of
Cork as suffering grievously at the
hands of the Republican insurgent
forces who are said to be in abso-
lue control.
The port of Cork has been closed,
it is said, ships not being allowed
to enter or leave, business premises
have been seized and their contents
appropriated for the Republican
troops. many of whom are billete1
with civilian inhabitants and sever-
al thousand people are out of WORK.
There has been an outbreak of
robberies. Refugees are quoted as
saying the trouble in Cork began at
about the time of the attack on the
Four Courts in Dublin and was in
itiated by young men from the
country district who started an
orgy of looting and destruction,
paying particular attention to
houses of Protestants. Nobody
dares to interfere in their behalf
and it is said by the refugees that
they lived in state of constant ter
ror. After the fall of the -Four
Courts the irregulars became more
oppressive and patroled the streets
in aEmored cars.
The free state forces in the city
being outnumbered did not oppose
them, say the refugees. Numbers oe
people are said to be eager to quit
the city but only comparatively few
have succeeded.
