MANY WILL. CO
ON EXCURSION
K. of c. and St. Marys to Sail
Away on Good Ship Cler-
mont Monday
Everything is in readin

Everything is in readiness for the
annual excursion of San Salvador
Council 299, knights of Columbus,
and st. Mary's church which will be
held Monday. The outing will be up
the Hudson river in the Clermont Of
the Hudson Navigation Company
and a stop will be made at Palisades
Park to give the excursionists a
chance to take in the numerous fea-
lures at this amusement place.
One feature of the Clermont is the
large dance floor and this should
appeal to the younger folks. There
will be good music on board and the
large dance floor will allow many
more to dance than on any previous
excursion that has left this city in d
good many years.
The advance sale of tickets IS re-
ported as very good and big turn
out is expected, inasmuch as only ore
outing has been planned by the
Knights of Columbus and St. Mary's
church this year. There will be
plenty of refreshments on board and
the committee predicts this to be the
most successful outing ever held
from this city.
The boat will leave the city dock
about 9 o'clock and expects to be
back in this city about $3.50. Tickets
may be procured at various stores
in this city and also from members
of the Knights of Columbus.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-With possi-

strike, federal and state officials to-
day were Withholding action calcu-
lated to bring about "a speedy re-
sumption OF production, but con-
tinued preparations for such con-

The meeting Monday in Cleveland,

the United Mine Workers, and
other union chiefs with representa-

upon as the final independent peace

CHICAGO. Aug. 5 (By The AS
sceiated Press) ).-Comparative calm
prevalent in the railroad strike sit
uation for several days today gave
way to renewed activities both for
ending the six weeks old walkout
and for making it more effective.
No peace conferences were pending
in Washington, new strike threats
came from maintenance of way men
and other union workers and a con-
ference with President Harding was
sought by the big Four Brotherhood
for the purpose of presenting their
views of the strike.
Congress indirectly came into the
negotiations. Eastern railroads sent
detachments of shopworkers for the
relief of coal mining districts and
outbreaks of violence were reported
from points hitherto peaceful.
Is. M. Jewell. president of the
Railway Employees Department Of
the American Federation of Labor,
the shopcraf.s leader. was in
Washington, where he was sum-
moned by President Harding. Union
chiefs here looked upon Mr.. Jewe;is s
presence at the capital as indica-
tive of further settlement parleys.
Officials of the Southern Railway
and representatives of shopmen on
that road also were in Washington
to confer on a possible separate
peace. William 4. Roberts, vice
president of the Maintenance Of
Way Mems Union and e. l.. Enke
member of the brotherhood exeeu
tive board, telegraphed President L
II. Cradle last night recommending ,
| sympathetic strike of maintenance
of way men on the twenty-eigh
Eastern roads over which they hol,

At Spokane. Washington. the
chairman of the strikers organiZa-
tion announced that wrecking crews
would not answer emergency calls
even though lives were in danger.
Union men said the action was
prompted by the executives state
ment that the roads were able to
cope with any emergency and by an
ultimatum notifying men to return
to work or consider themselves per-
manently discharged.
A bill introduced in the United
States senate by Senator Spencer, of
Missouri, would esta blish a new fed

and employees. The court would

had failed.

ANB0Y AVENUE
MOVE PLANNED
Ordinance for Exchange of
Land Likely to be Passed
Monday Night
AT REGULAR MEETING
Garbage Dumping Site An
other Matter to be Taken
Up by Aldermen

The aldermen held a lengthy
committee session last night at
which the important matters now
confronting it were discussed until
after midnight.
The Amboy avenue paving propo-
sit;cn took up considerable time.
The drawing up of an ordinance va
eating the present road from point
100 feet north of Insiee street to
the city line and giving it to the
Barber Asphalt Company in ex-
change for strip of land-suff1clently
wide for the new road through prop
erty now owned by that company,
ordinance will be before the board
fo. action Monday night.
Another question discussed was
that of securing new garbage
dumping site. The city is now col
lecting its own garbage and numer-
Gus complaints 1,om residents in the
vicinity of the present dump have
resulted in the aldermen deciding to
look for new dumping site.
1t was decided to inspect seVera
proposed new garbage sites in this
city at 10 o'clock Monday morning
and If the inspection trip proves
successful a measure may be intro
duced and passed Monday night
adopting the new site and vacating
the present one.
A lengthy meeting is anticipated
Monday night as bids on twelve diff
ferent matters will be received. All
of the paving, road repair grading,
sewer and curbng bids will be re-
ceived then as will bids for horses
and wagons to be used by the street
departn ent.
No mention was made at last
nights meeting of the new trunk
sewer which must be laid owing 10

This will be a big job and will re-
quire considerable finances.

S3,092 HERE
IN AUT0F|NES
Collected in Court Here Since
April |, When New Act
Became Effective

An interesting comparison of rev.
eEres accruing to Middlesex county
under the new motor vehicle law
which became effective April l OF
this year, is offered by the totals
compiled for the first three months,
ending June 80.
The total sum collected in fines
in the local police court is shown
to be $3,092, far larger than any pre-
vious amount for similar period.
OF this sum $224 covers minor in
fractions of local traffic regulations.
Arrests by the state police have re-
suited in fines of $125. The remain
der. $2,743, represents penalties in
ficted for violations under the new
me tor vehicle act.
Under the new law the several
counties receive the benefit of all
fires collected within its limits as
the result of enforcement by county
authorities; whereas under the old
ac: all fines regardless of by whom
collected, were turned over to the
state for apportionment among the
counties, always in unequal
amounts. The new law provides that
all money shall be turned over to
the state motor vehicle commission
Ell. who takes out fines collected
urder the traffic act and from ar
rests by state officials and turns over
th4 balance to the county treasurer.
By this provision Middlesex coun-
ty will receive $2,74S for the first
three months of the year covered by
the new law, instead of turning it
all into the state and receiving a
portion only in return.
The relatively large sum revealed
by the summary of the first quarter
of operation is said to be the result
of the war that has been waged on
overloaded trucks. The minimum
penalty possible for an infraction of
this sort Is 800 and almost inva-
riably a large fine is imposed. In
this city the average fine has been
SIPS.

ed today by Federal Fuel Distributor
Spencer to concur in steps outlined
by the federal government for the
emergency distribution of coal.
Letters sent to the governors to-
day by Mr.. Spencer carried the CEN

rious details of coal ALLEGATION and
the federal plan as announced early
in the week.
Governors committees were re-
quested by Mr.. Spencer to apply for
coal produced in other states only
through the federal fuel distributor
at Washington and not to order any
coal from federal fuel district COM
mittees nor producers outside of
their own state.
There is no anthracite coal avail
able for distribution by the federal
fuel distributor" Mr. Spencer said.
Application for emergency coal
to the federal fuel distributor should
be made only for current use and
not for storage.
Application for emergency coal
should be made only for the most es-
sential purposes following the prior
ity classes established by the inter
state commerce commission.
Emergency coal supplied on these
applications made to the federal dis
tributor will be placed f. o. b. rail-
way cars at the mines at the fair
prices approved for the producing

1T will be the endeavor of the
