CANTALOUPE CARS
CUT DOWN TODAY

Today will see further restriction of
shipment of cantaloupes, in an effort
to lengthen the market, the bureau Of
markets ut Brawlev estimating that
450 cars viii be shipped. Yesterday s
shipments amounted to 524 ears. Most
growers limit picking to five crates per
acre and it is expected shipments will
decrease each day until July 4, when
there may be an increase, but the peak
shipments were doubtless reached this
week, according to the bureau. Eastern
markets are in fair condition, the price
of standards in New York remaining
at $3.50 to 1915 and in Chicago, $3.
The San Francisco and Los Angeles
markets are weak, the latter place hav-
ing 81 carloads on the track at the
present time. Yesterdays s prices in
that city were 81 and $l.25, but is ex-
pected there will be few sales at the
latter price today. Prices at Brawley
ranged from 80 cents to 81. 1t is an
easy matter, according to the bureau,
to load 900 ears a day right along, but
it is believed the market will strength
on materially if it is not flooded with
Il surplus amount of cantaloupeS.
Watermelon shipments are keeping
up, the Southern Pacific estimating
about 80 ears today.

driven from the Fourt Courts in a final
Free State assault early today, the an
nouncement was made that de Valera
had openly declared war against Col
Inns government.
BELFAST, June 30.-This indicates
a general civil war throughout Ire
land. 1t is believed insurgents under
de Valera will make supreme effort
to overthrow the Free State govern
ment which was established by the
treaty with Great Britain.
Bitter Over Election Defeat
Up to this point de Valera has oc-
cupied a neutral ground between the
extremists under Rory O'Connor and
the Free State government.
He recently effected am agreement
with Collins for an Irish constitution
and it was believed he was in complete
with the rebels. Since de
Valera s adherents were soundly de-
feated at the polls in recent elections,
however, the former president has been
silent as to his intentions.

CITY MAY SOME
TIME, SOMEHOW
PROVIDE FOR KIDS

That the discussion started by the
Press to provide some place for I'll
Centre youngsters to obtain relief from
the summer heat may eventually bear
fruit, is becoming apparent somewhat.
Several plans have been suggested. per
haps the best of which is that by Engi-
neer II. NJ OFT of the water depart
ment, who states that two concrete
swimming pools, 40x50 feet one in the
city park and the other in the proposed
park on the east side can be built for
approximately 81 900. These would be
for Youngsters only, though later plans
might be worked out to use them for
grownups also. The pools could be sur
rounded with lattice work and covered
with an awning, at very little Aaition-
al cost, as protection from tn sun.
These could hardly be built in time to
be used this summer as the city has
no funds available for This purpose at
present, and some temporary plan
would have to be made.
One of these is that shower baths be
erected, either at city park or in the
rear of the firehouse. The latter place
would hardly provide sufficient space,
and it is pointed out that the overflow
would be carried into the alley between
State and Olive streets, which would be
q nuisance to property owners adjacent
to the alley. A crowd of boys is sure
to make more or less noise, which might
be Objectionable to patrons of the pub
lie library, situated next door, it is
feared. Chief Ferguson, of the fire de
partment, is heartily in favor of pro-
vidimg some such place for the young
sters, but pointed out that they would
be more or less annoying around 4he
firchouse, particularly in case of an
alarm, when they would be certain to
rush in when the apparatus was com
ing out, thus handicapping the firemen
and exposing the Youngsters to danger

have failed.
Chairman Ben w. Hooper of the
board announced that failure of
the board to compel appearance of
Bert M. Jewell, president of the
shop crafts union, to attend a con-
ference with executives and the
board, would prevent any further
interference by the board in the

against the board created by the

interests as well as those of his own
organization, Hooper declared.

ments by heads of tho shop crafts

cision of the railroad labor board af-
fecting both the railroads and the rail

Jewell Defies Board
CHICAGO, June 30.-Bert NJ Jewell,
head of the shop craft, who are sched-
uled to strike ut 10 a. m. Saturday, to-
day defied the United States Railroad
Labor Board.
Jewell refused to appear before the
board in answer TO Il citation asking
him to attend conference of union
chiefs, railroad executives and mem
bers of the board.
Jewell claimed the board had exceed
ed its authority in issuing the citation.
1t was learned that several of the
union leaders cited to appear have left
Chicago, including William Johnston,
president of the machinists; Martin
Ryan, head of the carmen and j. j.
Hynes, head of the sneet metal work
ers.
The meeting was called to order 40
minutes late by Chairman Ben Hooper
of the board. Immediately after the con
ference started, Chairman Ben Hooper
issued a subpoena ordering Jewell to
appear. He also issued q subpoena for
Timothy Healy, president of the sta
tionary engineers and firemen.
President G. II. Fitzgerald of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, station
employees and freight handlers, later
appeared and President +. f. Grabel
and Vice President j. c. Smock, of the
maintenaee of way union, arrived half
an hour after the meeting was sehed-
uled to start.
On roll call of all the railroads al
legged to have violated the contract
orders, it was apparent that the execu
tives were ready to announce they obey.
board orders in the future.
This was one of the main questions
on which the shopcraft strike vote was
taken.
