Registration for Year in
the United States to
Break Records.

All motor car registration records
for the United States will be broken
by California this year. according to
a statement issued yesterday by the
Los Angeles chamber of commerce.
Registrations at present total S37,-
900 for the State. nearly one.third OF
which are in Los Angeles county.
The State of New York had regis
tered 812,031 on January 1. The in
crease of cars registered this year
in California is 80 per cent over last
year. This is a greater ratio than
that ever achieved by any other
State in the Union.
Last year New York. Ohio and
Pennsylvania led California, but the
rapid increase Of cars in the Pacific
coast State indicates that this year
II will lead both Ohio and Pennsyl.
vania, with a possibility of passing
New York.
The extraordinary increase in the
number of autos is attributed to the
good roads that form a network over
the State, and the climatic condi-
tions that permit pleasurable touring
almost every day in the year.

BESLER REFUSES TO MEET
CITIZENS STRIKE BODY

WILKES-BARRE. Pa. Oct. 81
w. c. Besler, president of the Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey, has
declined to meet the citizens COM
mittee named by the conference at
Scranton last Saturday to endeaYor
to bring about a settlement of the
shipments strike on anthracite
carrying railroads on the ground
that conferences were now under
way with a committee of Ashley
citizens.
"Manifestly we cannot in good
conscience discontinue our relations
with these gentlemen" said Mr..
Besler. Another reason why we
should continue relations with them
is because of our fixed policy for
separate settlement of this strike
with strict regard for local condi-
tons"
He said further that his company
in accordance with a mandate of
the labor board recognized guilds
organizations by new men entering
the service and former employees re-
entering" and that these guilds were
now functioning on the Jersey Gen.
trail.
FINALLY, but very frankly add
ed MI. Besler. the situation in the
shopmen's strike Is entirely different
from that in the case of the miners.
In the latter case wages, working
conditions and duration of agree
ment were the matters at issue. In
the case of the striking shopmen
wages, working conditions and rates
of pay have all been established by
a tribunal created by congress-. 1t
only remains for the striking shop
men OF accept that to which the
labor board has decreed and go 20
work"

Defer WATER
RATE ACTION
Commissioners viii Complete
Investigation Before the
Schedule is Drawn

Action on reduction of the water
xates in favor of large consumers
was deferred by the water commits
sioners until their next semi-month-
1y meeting at their session held last
night. This decision was made so
as to give the commissioners a
chance to make a complete investf-
cation of a plan prepared by Super
intendent Samuel Mason.
Commissioner G. c. Baldwin call
ed the reduction matter TO the st
tention Of Superintendent Mason
and the latter replied that he had
drawn up a plan showing revision
of rates to meet the needs of the
department, that is, the lowering of
rates would result in the large con-
sumner using more water. Commits
sioner Baldwin then referred to the
appearance of representatives of the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany and the Raritan Copper Works
before the board and the mount OF
water used by various local indus
tries. He suggested that a special
rate be made for large consumers.
At the present time the rate for
large consumers is slightly more
than eleven cents per cubic foot,
while Newark charges six and it
was suggested that the local board
charge seven or eight.
Commissioner Fred Hansen set
forth his opinion on the matter by
saying this is not the proper time TO
make a change and that the present
rate should be continued until the
end of the year.
President hanback, and Commits
sioner Baldwin referred to the pos
sibility of getting South Amboy in
line again if a change in rate was
made. Commissioner Hansen again
declared that it might be best for
the department to get on its feet be-
fore making a change. After fur
Their discussion in which a majority
of the members took a hand, it was
decided to put the matter over until
the next meeting.
The missioners took action
last night to start an experiment in
clearing sediment out of the water
furnished by the local department.
Numerous complaints were made
recently about the condition of the
water and the superintendent had
samples of water last night, one
bottle showing water containing
sediment and another bottle con-
tanning water minus the sediment.
1t was made known that this exper-
iment. scrubbing of pipes, ETC., will
cost about $4,000.
The board members took action
at last nights meeting to have the
Board of Aldermen renew their note
for $4,000 which falls due Novenl-
Der 1. Other matters of minor i'm
portance were discussed at last
nights session. Commissioners
Kelly, Stas. Baldwin. Hansen and
President Hanback, were in attend
