trip of the season, yesterday after
extensive repairs and complete
renovation. The accident, to the
Anthems last winter when she
sank at her mooring at Magog, was
caused by the leaving open of a
stop-cock, and the boat filled and

NEWPORT CITY
COUNCIL NOT
FOR CARNIVAL
Legion Seeks Permit to
Hold Affair This
Summer

At the meeting of the Newport
City council Tuesday evening,
request was made by members of
the American Legion for permis-
sion to hold an out of door car
nival in the city. This was refus-
ed by the Council.
Later in the evening a second
delegation from the Ladies Aux
iliary to the Legion made a visit
alton to the Council rooms, but
the city fathers could not be won
over and still refused. There
was some feeling manifested by
both organizations on what the
Legion and auxiliary termed an
unfair decision by the Council.
The City Council maintains that
it cannot give permission to break
the law, citing the instance of
the carnival on d former occasion
when roulette wheels and minor
games of chance were in use.
On the other hand, both the
American Legion and the Amer
lean Legion Auxiliary have been
for another carnival this year to
raise money for disabled veterans.
Decision to ask permission of the
city fathers to have the carnival
came after a meeting of the
Legion and Auxiliary at the Sun
set Tea Rooms last evening,
A joint business meeting was
held followed by social hour
and refreshments, consisting Of
sandwiches, coffee, cake and ice
cream. Much disappointment was
manifest by members of the
Legion and Auxiliary at being re-
fused permission to hold the car

the grievances of striking railway
shopmen. The telegram which
also was signed by the six inter
national presidents of the railway
shopcrafts declared the shopmen
had walked out because wages fix
ed by the labor board were in vio-
lation of the provisions of the
transportation act and because of
the violation of the labor boards
decision by the railroads.
The strikers insisted the inter
ruption of commerce or interfer-
ence with the mails had not been
caused by an unlawful act by the
shopmen. The telegram lays such
interference directly with the at
tempt of the railroads to oper-
ate with incompetent workmen.
President Jewell reiterated his de-
sire to cooperate in his efforts to
bring peace but declared that up
to the present the rail executives
had refused to meet the repre-
sentatives of the employees.
CHICAGO, July 13-Although
moves for peace in the rail strike
apparently We're slowed somewhat
today, the general feeling still
seemed toward negotiations for
settlement, despite the fiat refusal
OF railroad executives to enter
a peace parley with B. M. Jewell,
head of the striking shopcrafts.
Ben Hooper, chairman of the u.
s. railroad labor board, announc-
ed that ne had formulated a new
plan for ending the walkout. He
asserted that any proposal from
him would be in harmony with the
