.BLAMES EMPLOYE FOR
EXPLOSION AT MORGAN

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 1S.-
In commenting upon his investiga-
tigation of the explosion case at
Morgan, which ended in the death
of Walter S. Brown. of Perth Am
boy, on Wednesday. County Detective
Ferd A. David said today that
Browns negligence caused his death,
That fact, however, will not entirely
exonerate the Columbia Salvage
Company. he thinks. and the grand
jury may take up the case.
The probe by the county authori-
ties has shown that Brown failed to
take advantage of the safety-device
provided by the company to avoid
accidents. 1t it understood that
the work Brown was doing should
have been performed with the op-
erative standing behind a metal
screen having small armholes. In
this instance, however, it has been
esta blished that Brown was several
feet away from his protective device
when the shell went off.

ciated Press) s):-Sir John Bradbury
British member of the reparat,ons
commission, and Eugene Maucler@,
president of the committee on guar
antees. will leave Paris for Berlin
tomorrow night for the purpose OF
obtaining certain information from
the German government and also
guarantee in addition to those
which the commission already has

The decision to ask Sir John and
NJ Mauclere to go to Berlin was
taken unanimously by the commits

the result of certain definite pro

which all the members of the com
mission have tentatively accepted.

Municipal garbage collection III
Perth Amboy thus far has resulted
in the city saving money and 1t Is
likely that a report of the actual
disbursements and savings Will be
made to the aldermen at their meet
ing Monday night. Alderman
Thomas Patten. who is the author
ity for the above statement, points
out that the cost of municipal gar
bage collection is not only lower
than the lowest bid of a contractor
received last spring. but is lower
than the price the city has been
paying a contractor to make the
collections during the period when
no contract was in force.
Alderman Patten also points ont
that better service is being given
now than before as the wagons will
collect garbage and refuse of all de-
scriptions, whereas. under the old
system many articles were refused

AMB0Y Ave. HEARING
BEF0RETHE ALDERMEN
AT MONDAYS Meeting

Directors to the relocation of
Amboy avenue between the city line
and a point 100 feet north of Inslee
street will be given an opportunity
to make their protests known Mon
day night when the aldermen hold a
public hearing on this matter.
The city fathers. at their meeting
of August Z, unanimously adopted
on first reading two ordinances, one
relocating Amboy avenue and the
other vacating the present road and
turning it over to the Barber AS
phalt Company.
These two ordinances are sched-
uled to come. up for second and
third readings Monday night and at
the same time a public hearing will
be held. This hearing will be con-
Quoted prior to the ordinances be-
ing taken up on second reading and
it is understood there will be some
opposition to the new route, espe-

cially on the part of the New York
Telephone Company.
If the protests against relocating
part of Amboy avenue impress the
aldermen sufficiently TO result in the
ordinances failing to PASS on second
and third readings. the project will
be further from reality than ever
before. Months have been spent by
the city in negotiating with the free
holders and State Highway Commits
sion in order to reach an agreement
as to financing the work, and getting
the road back from the county in
order that state aid might be Sc
cured.
1t is the general belief, however,
that most of the sentiment is in fa
vor of the new route as it will not
only be shorter and eliminate the
bad curves in the present road, but
will give slighter grade than exists
now.

Archie Corkendle, a motorcycle

Johnson avenue, Newark was ar
rested by Motorcycle Officer Frank
Seiboth yesterday. Four charges
were lodged against him. He was
accused of having no registration
card, no drivers license, only one
license plate and speeding on Am

checking up the number on Corken-

SAVING TO THE CITY

by the collectors.
Owing to the numerous COM
plants being received from resi-
dents in the immediate vicinity of
the present garbage dump the al
dermen have inspected several sites
with the intention of selecting new
dump which will not be a nuisance
to residents. 1t is probable that the
matter of a new dump will be taken
up at the committee meeting to-
night and if an agreement can be
reached, a measure will likely be
passed Monday night vacating the
present site and purchasing proper
ty for a new dump.
At the present time the city is
hiring teams and men by the day to
do the collecting but steps have
been taken to purchase teams and
wagons. Bids have been received
by the aldermen on teams and
wagons but they have not yet
awarded any contracts.

brotherhood Leaders Hold Confer.
pncpS


NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-The striks
of railroad craft unions must b.
settled here, Warren S. Stone of the
Brotherhood of Railway Engineers,
declared today. as the committee OF
five rail brotherhoods finished sew
eral informal conferences before
meeting the rail executives to con.
tinue their work of mediation.
THE strike must be settled" he
continued. land it must be settled
right here at these meetings. Con-
ditions over the country demand that
a settlement be made at once and
done soon. The five brotherhoods
are ready to do anything possible to
bring present conditions to an end"
For more than four hours yester-
day the labor men and railroad
presidents debated the ground upon
which the walko out must end without
success
Representatives of stationary
workers assembled in an uptown
hotel watching the progress of the
parleys going ON at the headquarters
of the Association of Railway EIe-
cutives, made it plain in informal
comment that they regard it essen
tial that the roads take the strikers
back with seniority unimpaired.
Warren $. Stone said this after
noon he did not believe there could
be a strike settlement today. because
whatever plans they have would
have TO be referred by both sides
to their constituents.
Neither Mr.. Ryan nor Edward f..
Cradle. head of the maintenance of
way men, would say what PROPOSE
ton regarding seniority had been
placed before the executives, but at
labor headquarters it was said un-
officially thst the program outlined
by the Indh ma senator represented
the wishes VI the strikers.
William *. Johnston, president OF
the International Association of Ma
chinsts. arrived from Washington
this morning and joined the other
labor leaders uptown.
Immediately upon his arrival, Mr..
Johnston went into conference With
Bert NJ. Jewell. president of the
Railway Employees Department Of
the American Federation of Labor,
anG leaders of the shopcraft.
At a conference between Mr..
Jewell and the mediation committee,
which preceded the session with ex-
ecutives, it was understood more
definite proposal for a settlement
had heen worked out.
"Omclals of the railroad shop
workers have been in constant touch
with the mediation committee of
| five since the negotiations began yes
terday," said Mr.. Jewell, official
spokesman for the labor bosses. 1T
is impossible for me, however. to
make any specific comment at this
time"
