Burning Auto
Calls for Help;
Fire1nen Saue Ii

This Is a story of how an auto
mobile. encompassed by flames,
called for help and got it.
The scene was a garage in tho
rear Of 1886 p street. The time
was 12:45 this morning.
Flames licked up the sides Of an
automobile and mounted to the
drivers seat. The machine sweated
and blistered. The flames ate away
the rubber insulation about the
wires leading to the electric horn.
The machine appealed to the horn.
The exposed wires hastened to
weld themselves together. This ac-
complished. the closed circuit sent
orders to the horn. The horn sent
out prolonged squeak for assist
ance.
A fireman in the neighborhood
heard the cry for aid. He investi-
gated. He pulled the alarm Fire
apparatus arrived in time to stop
the progress of the flames after
they had damaged the building to
the extent OF $1,000 and each au-
tomobile about $3.50. The self
sounding fire alarm had saved the
machines from destruction which
would surely have followed had
the flames reached the gasoline
tank. William &. Rosenbusch of
1886 p street owns the garage.

RAIL HEADS STAND BEHIND
LABOR BOARD RULING

NEW YORK, Aug. Pin reject
ing the third section of President
Harding's proposals for ending the
shopmens strike, the railroads are
standing behind the federal railroad
labor board. according to rail execu-
tives who pointed out today that
the board had told the men who
refused to strike that they would
have seniority rights and permanent
employment.
Notices have been sent to em-
ployes that in accordance with the
board and railroad promises the
shop workers who remained loyal
as well as the new men will be pro-
tected.
Spokesman for the railroads stat
ed the program adopted at the
meeting of more than 180 executives
was final and that the roads would
act as a unit. Emphatic denial was
made that any roads would affect a
settlement with the strikers inde-
pendent of the stand taken by the
majority.
Leaders of the strikers said they
welcomed the fight to the finish, =
which must follow the action of the
operation of the transportation lines
was being further retarded daily.
Further comment on the future atti-
tude of the shopr4en was withheld.
pending the action of the strikers

proposals in Chicago today.

UNION CHIEFS meet TO
APPROVE HARDING PLAN

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-(By The AS
sociated Press)-More than 100 un-
ion chiefs headed by B. M. Jewell.
leader of the striking railroad shop
crafts workers met here again today
to act on President Harding's plan
for settlement of the shopmen's
strike. Following yesterdays ses-
sion it was intimated that formal
acceptance of the plan would be
voted.
While this action by the strikers
was thought probable in rail circles
here, new moves for peace were ex-
pected to come from the railroad
executives and from Washington. 1t
was pointed out that definite rejec-
tior of the Presidents proposal con-
cerning restoration of seniority
rights to men who went on strike
would leave the next move to Mr..
Harding. Well informed railroad
men here believe that the President
might address an open letter to the
rail executives urging them to stop
disputing over seniority when the
national welfare is menaced.
Such letter would serve at the
same time as an address to the
country at large. However, although
chiefs of 14S railroads at their meet
ing yesterday in New York voted 20
reject the seniority proposal, the
belief was current here that this aid
not constitute the executives final
word in the matter.

ALDERMEN PUSH
AMb0Y AVENUE
Vacating Measure Will Prob
ably be Ready to Consider
Friday Night

The aldermen at their committee
meeting Friday night will again take
up the Amboy avenue paving prop
osition, it being likely that at this
session a measure will be ready for
consideration vacating the part of
this road from a point 100 feet
north of Inslee street TO the city
line. This property will be turned
over to the Barber Asphalt Com
pany in exchange for strip of land
now owned by that company. over
which the new Amboy avenue route
will traverse.
A conference on this question was
held recently at which Satisfactory
agreement for the exchange of prop
critics was reached. AS soon as this
exchange has been done legally, the
city will be ready for the next step
in having this road paved. the state
and county sharing the expense
with the city.
Another important matter involv-
ing considerable financing is sched-
uled to come up for discussion, It
being in connection with the grade
crossing elimination plan. The city
has learned that the cost of chang
ing the grades and repaving these
streets which will pass over the rail-
road tracks must be borne by the
municipality. No estimate as to the
cost of this work has been submitted
as yet but it is expected the expense
will be considerable and allowances
for sufficient funds to pay for this
work must be made by the aldermen
before making appropriations for
other improvements.
The new trunk sewer, which will
be constructed west of the railroad
tracks to care for the western sec
ton of the city, must also be paid
for by the city. This sewer, under
the proposed plans. will pass under
the tracks near the Raritan river
and continue east along the shore.
acting as an outlet to the mains now
emptying directly into Raritan river.
The trunk sewer outlet will then be
carried to point beyond the low
water mark.

sentative this morning, Mr.. Less
lauer intimated that he was aware
of the suit against him, but refused
to discuss the matter at all. He
said he had engaged counsel to de-
fend him but would not divulge the
attorneys identity. Miss Pensler is
represented by George Burton of
South River, and John Fuchs of New
Brunswick.
Papers in the case were served by
the sheriff yesterday. The girl is a
minor and in view of that fact her
father was compelled to bring the
suit. George Burton, one of Miss
Penslers attorneys, said this morn
ing that the girl was broken hearted
over the outcome of her romance
and that her family was greatly in
censed over Lesslauers alleged ac-
ton in throwing her over after mat
ters had become so far advanced.
1t is understood that the two prin-
cipals have been friends for several
years. The girl maintains that the
date was fixed for the wedding and
that she went with Lesslauer to get
the license around the first part of
last month. Preparations for the
ceremony were practically finished
when the young man announced that
Lesslauer and Miss Pensler are well
known in Perth Amboy and the
failure of the pair to wed on sched-
ule time had caused considerable
speculation among their friends.

Lembcke has instructed the direc-
tor to make the waits between the

The Y. M. H. A. portable platform
was put up in the park this morning
and will be ready for the muslcisns
by o'clock tonight. Lights will be
strung about the platform in order
to provide the best illumination pos
sible for the musicians. Arrange
mcnts have been made with the ro-
lice department to divert traffic to
other streets, so that those in the
vicinity of the park may be utilized
for standing space.

former control of the railroads.
None of the members of the ad-
ministration would venture any
comment on the nature of the next
step to be taken by the President,
but it is recalled that less than
fortnight ago he fatty declared that
he proposed o prevent and suffer-
ing on the part of the people
through the railway or coal strike
if it was necessary to take over and
operate the properties.
One high official of the govern
ment who has been in close touch
with the situation and especially
familiar with the legal questions
involved declared emphatically that
If it became apparent that the
transportation systems are on the
verge of becoming para.yzed be-
cause of the strike, President Hard
ing would take over and operate the
carriers in the name of the govern
ment.
Most of the officials declined to
make any such sweeping predic-
ton. They admit being gravefy
alarmed over the situation, not so
much as il exists today, but the
prosperity or possible broadening
of the strike as a result of the at
titude taken by the executives.
1t is confidently expected n
Washington that one of the mrs
effects of the refusal to make pe4cl
by the railway executives will be "a
