CITY AGAIN MAY
FORCE WHITE GO.
TO MAKE REPAIRS
Mishawaka Av. Again in Poor
Condition as Ruts Mark

Whether the city viii again be
drawn into a controversy with the
White Construction Co. over the
poor wearing surface Of the pave
ment on Mishawaka av. is believed
TO depend on the developments with
In the next month.
The pavement, which was com
pleted In 1918 at a cost to the city
of approximately $1S5,OOO, became
so badly rutted last year that the
city called on the contractors 70
make repairs as provided for by the
five year guarantee given by the con-
tractors. The contractors maintain
ed at the time that they were not
at all responsible for the rough
pavement that developed. but rather
that the city itself was responsible
inasmuch as the pavement was laid
according to the city's specifications
1t vas claimed that the city's speci-
hcatious had been opposed by the
company's engineers as unwise, but
that the company, nevertheless. had
followed them.
New Ruts Develop.
After a long drawn out cOntro-
versy. the contractors agreed 10 re-
surface the pavement, with the un-
Outstanding that doing so in no way
should be construed as acceptance
Of liability for the defects that de-
veloped.
The resurfacing was done late last
fall at a cost of several thousands
OF dollars TO the contractors, but
the same rutty conditions. though
much less serious at the present
time, have developed during the
summer. For a considerable stretch
on the north side of the street deep
ruts have been worn. and they are
daily becoming deeper. a short
stretch on Eddy st. where there were
several deep holes and high ridges,
and which was repaired last fall is
again becoming in poor shape The
holes and ridges are again develop
ing. even though the entire asphalt
surface was removed down 10 the
concrete base when the repairs were
made
The guarantee of the company,
which Is backed up by bond of
$13.25O, expires on July 80, 1928,
and indications now are that the city
will he forced 70 take steps again
to have the street put in proper
shape.
Improve Crossings.
Two railroad crossings. which
have been a bane TO unwary motor
lists and which have taken a toll or
more than one broken spring, have
been repaired within the past week.
and autoists now pass these places
with a sigh OF relief.

ual repairs. and MAS now had the
old timers in the crossing entirely
taken up. and new and more sub

proaches have been laid on each side

The other bad crossing was at the
intersection of the street car tracks

Discuss Legislation.
The principal points IN dispute be-
tween the executives, who were call
ed here more or less secretly late
Thursday and the union were gone
over in detail at the conference, to-
gether with the possibility Of legis-
lation 20 meet the situation. II was
said that no legislation was prac-
ticahle TO deal with the present
strike
The rail executives, f was stated
were insistent upon three points
which the unions are demanding as
recession TO send the men 10
work. These are the seniority rule,
the restoration fthe pension status
and the question OF boards OF adjust
ment between the employers and
employees
AT the conference, It was said that
the rail executives declared they
could not and would not yield to the
union demand for a national board
OF adjustment. They also were said
TO be insistent upon refusing TO re-
store the status quo OF employees on
strike with respect 10 their seniority
and pension rights All OF these
have been demanded by the union
representatives as necessary before
they would order the men back TO
work pending a rehearing Of the
question Of wage scales.
Attitude Unchanged.
Earnest efforts were said 10 have
been made by the senators present
to secure modification fthe railway
executives position. It was said
that the possible menace TO the pub
lie from the railroad strike COM
bined with the coal strike was stress
ed by the senator's. but The attitude
OF the railway executives on the
three main points regarded as nee
essary krecedence 70 the return Of
the men to work was said TO be
unyielding.
No further conferences in Wash /.

Of the cOnferees said IL was apparent |
that such efforts would be fruitless. |
Persons well Informed said that

calling the executive into conference /
himself and that apparently any /
further moves must come through /
the railroad labor board, the rail- |
road executives or the union repre-
sentatives. one of the conrerees
said that the future part of the

task OF maintaining order in the
strlke-affected railroad lines and at
