.FORDS WATER
PROTEST AGAIN
Day by Day Water Supply
Gets Worse and Worse
Housewives Declare

FORDS, Sept. 22:-"There is less
water every day and the famine is
growing constantly" was the remark
made by several housewives here this
morning. They declared hal the
township has done nothing to i'm
prove the water pressure nor did the
water company and their continuous
complaints have failed to receive the
slightest consideration. When the
matter was called to the attention
of the township officials recently,
some relief was seen but this dimin-
ished quickly. The women say that
lack of water is preventing them
from their daily washing of cloth
ing and laundry. What little water
they can get is used for, cooking pur-
poses.
IF this situation is to last
any longer W. will have to
dig u own wells and not de-
pend any longer on the water
supplied by the township is
the general claim here. The town
ship is completely disregarding the
needs of the people, they pointed
out, declaring that the only way
probably to remedy the situation is
to bring the conditions now existing
~ liz dllCilllOu VI the Sldle aullOfl-
ties for immediate investigation.
From a survey made by a reporter
of the Evening News Upper Main
street is mostly affected by the short
age. In other parts of Fords the
water shortage is not so acute al
though throughout the district it is
keenly felt. New petitions are x
pected to be circulated calling upon
the township to take immediate
steps to give the needed supply of
water.

FIRE CT.
IS ADVOCATED
Councilman Child Working
for Fire Protection in East
Railway Section

CARTERET, Sept. 22-An addi-
tional fire company for East RAN
way district is being sought by the
residents living in that vicinity. New
impetus is being given to the request
since the old Harrington homestead
was razed by a fire early this week
mostly due to the lack of water
pressure and immediate assistance
of firemen. Councilman Joseph c.
Child who is advocating for the or
ganization of the new fire company
said this morning that people IN
East Railway section be given prop
err fire projections as they pay an
equal share of taxes Of other dis
%tricts. He expressed his opinion
that the water and fire committee
of the borough council should with
out further hesitation push this plan
through as delay may cost lives and
great damage to property.
Mr.. Child commenting on the
question of additional fire protec-
ton said that in his belief the Mid
dlesex Water Company Will shortly
be forced by the Board of Public
Utilities to extend their mains, fol-
lowing a recent action of the coun-
Gil to gain the extension. Mr.. Child
DelleNeQ IHdL Ine uIillby OOoiN oPSH
their inspection here should realize
the necessity of water here for use
in homes as well as for fire pur-
poses and will cause that the mains
be laid at once.
"The section of East Railway
known as Carteret Heights is devel-
oping rapidly, ned homes are being
erected while many more would be
built should there be water mains.
The people while interested in build
ing up residences in that locality
hesitate to do 1t because of lack Of
proper fire protection" Mr.. Child
said. ''This does not mean that the
two fire companies are not doing
good work now. They usually re-
spond quickly to fire alarms but 1t
would be truly advisable to have a
| fire company right in that district"
Mr. Child concluded.

Approval in principle of the plan for consolidation and recapitaliza- ton of New England rai1r pads was voiced by directors of the New York, New Haven & Hartford after a meeting in New York Tuesday. Approval of the Storrow committee plan to achieve this end was withheld, however, pending further consideration.
 The directors statement said:
 "The board is in hearty sym pahy with the purpose of the joint New England committee to secure a New England system of rail roads, and with the committees proposed policy of rehabilitation by cooperation but has not yet had time to consider how far the various means proposed by the committee for reaching that end are feasible or desirable.

WiH Meet Ln Stamford And Discuss Preliminary
 Plans For Institutions
Will Draft Labor
 For School Work
Will Be "Selective" Just as System
 Used For War Army.

New York, July 13-Labor may be "drafted' to build schools for New York's, kids
 The drafting will be voluntary on the part of labor and will be "selec- tive" just as that which took thous- ands of Americans to France.
 Bricklayers are getting $I4 and SIG and even more for a days wage be- cause of bonuses paid by many con- tractors. Consequently the force available for school construction at SIP day has grown smaller and smaller.
 School contractors with a two-year agreement with the men, faced the possibility of not being able to com plete their jobs by fall and took the matter up with heads of the bricklay- CTS union
 John J. Donnelly, business agent of the union, promised that the union would do something about it. It would order the young, unmarried men, who don't need the $I4 and SIG jobs as badly as the older and married men, to go to work on the schools at SIP, he said

CHANDLER DECIDES
 AGAINST RAILROADS
Finds That Employe Was Not En-
 gagged in Interstate Commerce.

Hartford, July I3.-That man who is hired to move ice from a ware house into a freight car for use of men engaged in interstate transpor- tation is not himself involved in in terstate commerce and that such work, to be construed as interstate commerce must be one progess and not saparable parts, IS the decision of Compensation Commissioner George B. Chandler iii one of the most wig orously contested cases that has been heard in this district in some time.
 Counsel for the respondent, the New Haven railroad, Contended that Stanley Konchinsky of East Hart ford, who was said to have lost the sight of his left eye on account of strain resulting in a detached retina while he was loading a car with ice on July 20, 1922, at the foot of Wind sor street, from a medical standpoint did not receive an injury while so employed that would cause the loss of vision and that furthermore, iron, 2 legal standpoint the case did not missioner Chandler as it was claimed that the injured man was engaged in interstate commerce. When the car was loaded, 1t is alleged, 1t proceeded to East Hartford where the ice was used for filling water coolers in the yard shops and on many of the en- zines plying between states.
 As a result of the medical testi- mony and a thorough investigation into several previous cases of somewhat similar nature the commits sioner ordered that the respondents pay $o.45 weekly for 52o weeks, be ginning with July 3I, and that furth- ermore they pay all medical, surgical and hospital bills incurred.

MINERS REFUSE TO WORK AFTER
 CONTRACT DIES
To Make Such Promise Would De-
 lay Agreement, They Say.

Atlantic City, N J., July 13.-An- thrac1te operators meeting in sub committee with the mine workers this week to arrange a new wage contract again proposed that the workers agree to remain at work after August 3I in the event no agreement IS reached by that time, but the union leaders made the same reply they gave before.
 The operators wanted such an un- derstandlng SO as to a11ay public ap- prehension of a recurrence of the famentable conditions of fast winter" !" The miners said that if both sides applied themselves diligently to the task there was plenty of time to reach an agreement.
 The committed also discussed the question of recognition of the union, with especial reference to the check off No action was taken, the commit tee adlourninG until afternoon.
 The subcommittee organized by selecting Samuel D. Warriner of Philadelphia, chief spokesman of the operators, as chairman and James A. German of Hazleton. Pa, secretary of the anthracite conciliation board, as secretary. The session was held be- hind closed doors
 When the operators brought up the question of non-suspension, the miners quickly indicated they had not changed their minds. They argued, according to information obtained after the meeting, that to make an agreement at this time for non-sus- pension would be unwarranted an- ticipation that the subcommittee could not function properly and could not make an agreement by August 3I It was also argued by the union that such an agreement would have the effect of insuring no contract by August 3I, and would take away the necessity of reaching an understand ing on wages and working conditions by that date.
 The operators, feeling out the miners, asked whether the workers would be of the same mind around August I, to which, 1t is understood, the miners replied that it would de- pend upon the progress made and whether reasonable ground had been covered which would make an agree ment possible by August 3I

 While the disclosure of the move ment at unionilation is to some ex- tent in the nature of reply to Judge Gary, who has promised to abolish the I2-hour day when labor condi- tlons permit, the movement will go on .regardles Of whether the I2-hour day IS abolished. Mir Gompers has indi- cated that he distrusts the proposition of the American Iron and Steel In- stitute.
 Officers of the I6 unions men toned and MT. Gompers will compose the executive committee that will di- rect the movement. More money will be raised if necessary, according to MT. Gompers He says this is ''the time" for organization of the steel workers
 Michael F. Tighe, international president of the Amalgamated Asso- citation of Iron, Steel and Tin Work CTS, is chairman of the organization committee, and William Hannons of Washington, executive council mem Der of the International Association of Machinists, is secretary. A meet ing was held in Chicago on June 20, when MT. Gompers outlined his plans Executives of the I6 unions attended the Chicago meeting.
 Leaders in the field of organized labor accepted the recent statement of Judge Gary with resentment Declarations were made here that the announcement was not made in good faith and that there were plenty of men available to replace present I2 hour shifts on an eight hour basis.

Springfield, Mass, July I3.-Meet- ings of local organizers affiliated with the Central Labor Union, called this week for the conduct of important and extraordinary business, left little doubt but what the general labor body is contemplating general strike, and is asking for local union indorsement. Upon the result of this poll of the labor element will rest the final decisions to be made in the spe- cail meeting of the Central body, to be held Monday night.
 Business men of the city refuse to believe that the labor men would be led into a city-wide walkout. The sweeping importance of any such ef- fort, if it should be even near 100 per cent. successful, is not minimized, however Building activity, now at it's night, would be brought almost to a standstill, 1t is noted.

RESULT OF MINNESOTA ELECTION
 PROVING WORRY TO REPUBLICANS
Senatorial M a jorit y Will Fade to Nothing if Farmer-LabOr Can didate Is Chosen.

Washington, D. C., July. 13.-All political interest Is centered this week in Minnesota, where the special senatorial election campaign is com ing to a close. The republican na- tional organization does not mask its uneasiness over the situation and Is numerously represented on the ground The democratic national or ganization is really taking no mater ial part in the contest, realizing that the democratic nominee, James A. Carley, IS certain to run poor third but nevertheless Is deeply interested because of its hopes that the repub- lican nominee, Governor J. A. O. Preus, will be beaten.
 Then there are the professional political observers who are Hooking to Minnesota in even greater num- bers than there were sporting writers who went to Shelby, Mont, on the Fourth of July. The reason is very plain. If what the republicans fear happens and the Farmer-Labor can didate, Magnus Johnson, is elected, the tiny nominal republican majority in the Senate will have reached the vanishing point, for such titular re- publicans as La Toilette and Brook hart are not party assets in a test. This fact is shown now by the active assistance they are giving to the Farmer-Labor candidate in Minneso- ia,

Federation Executive Council Will Attend Session and Listen to Advice By New York Labor Bank Expert.

President P. F. O'Meara of the Connecticut Federation of Labor Secretary I. M Ornburn, the other members of the executive council of the Federation and the recently ap- pointed committee authorized by the convention to make plans for the es- tablishment of Labor Bank in Con- necticut, will meet in Stamford next week and get right down to business. The exact date has not been definite ly set, President O'Meara waiting word from P. H. Brady of the New York State Labor Bank, as to just when he can come to Stamford and meet with and advise the committee. That it will be within the week how every is practically certain, President O'Meara said today.
 Although scarcely a month has elapsed since the convention and the appointment of the bank committee a great deal of enthusiasm has been manifested among Labor men about the state in the bank proposition. As they pick up day after day and read in the daily press of the success of Labor Banks established elsewhere, of their being able to control Labor finances so that they cannot be used against them as in the past and of the great financial assistance they become to workers wanting to build homes or need money for other pur- poses, Connecticut men are being more and more convinced that they should go and do likewise.
