early date. The lodge room will occu-
by the entire second floor, and on the
first floor there will be two stores

When it was first organized it held
meetings in Pardon Ryon's Hall, the

Pennsy's Employees
Will Not Strike
Official Statement Issued This
Week by Management Shows
Difficulties Adjusted.

Whatever may be the outcome on
some of the railroads of the country
regarding the strike situation, it has
been settled that the Pennsylvania
Railroad employees will remain at
their work after July first. This was
cheering ley to patrons of the road
who had feared the men might go out
and tie up transportation.
The following announcement on the
situation was made a few days ago by
the management of the company:
Announcement was made Tuesday
that agreements regarding readiust-
ment of wages have been successfully
reached between the management of
the Pennsylvania Railroad system and
the elected representatives of 1880
OF its employees. The settlements af-
feet the maintenance of way depart
ment, embracing 39,400 men, and the
employees of the telegraph and signal
department, numbering 800.
Revised wage scales for the vari-
Gus classification in these departments
will become effective July l. They
involve reductions which have been
mutually agreed upon to conform with
the lower cost of living, the general
conditions OF employment throughout
the country and the demand of the
public for cheaper transportation, as
expressed in the Interstate Commerce
Commissions order reducing freight
rates.
THE negotiations were entirely vol
untary and were conducted solely be-
tween management representatives
on the N side and elected represen-
tatives of the employees on the other,
free from outside i~nterventions.
This successful outcome of the
wage negotiations with the mainten-
ance of way and telegraph and signal
employees constitutes n of the most
notable achievements thus far record
ed for the Pennsylvania railroads
employe representation plan. This
plan for the amicable settlement of
controversial questions vas first put
into effect by mutual consent on jan
uary /, 1921.
"Since that time and prior to the
opening Of negotiations over the pen
ding wage reyisions the plan has been
instrumental in bringing to peaceful
and satisfactory settlement more than
nine thousand controversial questions
between management and employees"

CAR IS
STOLEN MACHINE
Abandoned Overland Left in
Flames Near New Road Be-
longed to Philadelphia Man.
Making Investigation

What the firemen of this city sur
missed when. called to a fire recently
caused by a burning automobile has
proved to be the truth, that is, the
Overland touring a abandoned near
New road and Leeds avenue is a stol-
en- machine. This probably accounts
for the fact that the occupants left
the burning car and fled before the
firemen arrived on the scene.
The fire was discovered on the af-
ternoon of Friday, June 10Th. The
Overland had caught fire and the
flames communicated to thick woods
and underbrush in the Leeds avenue
section. The blaze became SO dan
gerous to surrounding property that
the firemen were called and they had
a tough fight with the woods fire be
fore it was extinguished.
The auto was badly. burned and
what was left of it was towed TO
Peters Palace Garage. James Peters
took the Pennsylvania license tag
number, which is 164, 712, and made
inquiries at Harrisburg as to the own
er OF the car OF that number. After
several delays he was informed that
the owner of the car was John C..
Gable, who resides at Forty-sixth
street and Hayerford avenue, Phila.
delphia.
The matter was then referred to an
insurance adjustment company who
reported to Peters that the ear had
been stolen, and they were now con
Quoting an investigation. AS the car
was found in flames only a few hours
after it had been stolen in Philadel-
phia, it is supposed the occupants
were bound for Atlantic City with the
car and had turned into the New road
from the White Horse Pike, at Abse-
con. All sorts of rumors We're afloat
after the car was discovered, but the
theory OF theft was the n that was
most generally credited here and this
has been proved to be the fact.

OvertOn Is Injured
By Trolley Pole
Spine Hurt and Head and Body
Severely Lacerated While
Riding on Freight Car.

Floyd Oyerton, brother-inzlaw OF
Mrs. Hus1sors smaszbadly injured
early Wednesday morning, when he
was struck in the head by a trolley
pole on Atlantic avenue, in Atlantic
City. Overton resides at Raleigh and
Winchester avenues, Chelsea. He is
an assistant yardmaster at the Read
ing Railroad station, in Atlantic City.
He was going to his work early in
the morning and boarded a moving
freight train proceeding up Atlantic
avenue. In some unaccountable man
ner he was struck by the trolley pole
soon after he boarded the train. He
was picked up by Robert Middleton
and rushed to the Atlantic City Hos
pital, as it was feared that his skull
might have been fractured.
After a thorough examination by
the Hospital staff ii was found that
the skull had not been fractured, but
the spine was hurt and there yer
several decorations and bruises about
the head and body. 1t is considered a
miracle that Overton was moi killed
by the force of the blow and fall to
the street. DR.. Hudson visited his
relative shortly after the accident and
said later that the injuries were eX-
tremely painful ones, but not necessa-
rily dangerous.

To
GET IN FIGHT
Will Have Candidate for Town
ship Committeeman to Oppose
Cardiff and Mckee City.
Pays Majority ofTaxes

Local politics is warming up fast in
Egg Harbor Township and there will
be at least three candidates for the
position OF Township Committeeman
to take the place of Fred. Murray this
fall. Recently William McMahan, of
lakewood, filed his nomination papers
for this position, and it is understood
that John Rose, of Mckee City, will
also file papers.
Some of the residents of lakewood
and Mckee City objected TO any of the
Pennington residents having any voice
in the selection of a candidate. This
aroused the ire of the Pennington
people and now they will have their
own candidate in the -three-cornered
fight for Committeeman. They will
announce their candidate in a few
days.
Investigation reveals that Farming
ton taxpayers pay into the Township
treasury in taxes about three times as
much as lakewood and Mckee City
combined. They feel that this being
the case they should be allowed TO
have some voice in the selection of
their representative.
Lewis Fl. Smith, of English Creek,
has filed his papers for nomination for
a seat in the Atlantic County Board
of Freeholders from Egg Harbor
Township at the coming election. This
office is now filled by Benjamin Lee.
The Freebooter of Egg Harbor Town
ship also represents the Boroughs of
Longport and Linwood in the Board.

TEDDY LEONARD HOPES
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT.

Teddy Leonard, New York fyweight
star, has shown himself easily mas
ter of all his rivals that he has met.
In many points he is very much like
the famous lightweight champion.
Leonard began boxing in Philadelphia
where he did considerable boxing for
the American Legion, Red Cross and
other organizations during the late
World War, and showed such a will
ingness to don the padded mittens
that he went into hard training and
was kept there until he was ready
to hold his own with any of the III
pound boys. After some gruelling
battles with the toughest of the lit
tie fellows, Teddy was finally recog-
nized by the fight promoters. After
leaving Philadelphia Leonard TOOK up
his residence in Atlantic City for some
time, where he cleaned up all the
boys his weight. He stopped being a
'Feather-Duster' boxer and began to
apply his mind to acquisition of the
knowledge of science of winning with
an adulterated Knockout.
Leonard learned much OF his skill
by closely observing the different
styles of topnotch boxers. He is also
a student of boxing and has picked up
and tried all the best punches used by
topnotch boxers. He drills on a blow
many times until he is satisfied that
he has mastered it before he attempts
to use it in a contest. Teddy Leon
ards private life is perfect. He is
up in the morning at seven and on
the road and in bed at night not later
than ten. He lives quietly at home
with his mother, sister and brothers,
is very scrupulous about his training,
avoids all forms of dissipation, is very
modest and decent.
As he now lives in New York,
Leonard hopes to get a bout with
Johnny Buff. the worlds bantam
weight champion. for the worlds title.
