CAR STRIKERS
ACCEPT PLAN
For Wage Increase of 20 Per
Cent, but Settlement Ap-
pears No Nearer
ONLY PART Of PLAN
Offered by Public Service
Bus Feature of Problem
Proves the Most Serious
ONLY PART OF PLAN

NEWARK, Aug. "a After a
stormy debate on the amount OF
wage Increase that they should get,
the Essex county locals of the strik-
ing trolleymen's union, comprising
1,400 of the $500 members of the
Public Service Railway Company's
platform men who are now pm strike
throughout the state, voted practi-
cally unanimous last night to ac-
cept the 20 per cent increase offer
ed by the companys settlement
plan. Acceptance of the plan and
the wage increase does not forecast
settlement of the strike, it is point
ed out, as the company's plan stated
that the increase can go into effect
only as the entire plan is approved
by the public and the public utility
commission. The latter has an
nounced some portions of the plan
to be unacceptable, especially the
section requesting approval OF the
$40, 100000 valuation of the com
. pany's property.
The storm at the trolleymen
meeting broke when William Wep.
ner. president of the locals, called
for the vote on acceptance of the
20 per cent increase. Several troll
leymen Jumped up with demands for
the 80 per cent for which they struck
A long argument by Mr.. Wepner, in
which he mentioned that acceptance
would keep the public in sympathy
with the men, and that 20 per cent
was fair and all they could get In
view of bus competition and other
conditions, turned the tide of pro-
test. When Mr.. Wepner asked the
men il they wanted to be out eight
months as in a previous strike, to
obtain their damands, he was met
with a chorus of no"
Several municipalities today had
signified their intention of having
Representatives at the Public Utility
conference, called to consider the
company's settlement plan, next
Tuesday.
At the other phase of interest In
the strike settlement, the supreme
court action calling for the filing OF
return by the company in answer
to the alternative writ the court has
issued, it has been indicated the
company WILL next Monday, the
date of filing, deliver an oral re-
turn.

sent them at the meeting where the
problem is to be discussed. Mr..
Smith also added that the board
would also assist in any other way
to bring out the fulfllment of the
Raritan Terminal and Waterways
plan.
At the meeting of the Board of
Freeholders yesterday word was re-
ceived from Senator Edward I. Ed
wards that he also would give his
entire support to the deepening of
the channel and that he will COM
municate with the proper authori-
ties with reference to the matter. He
will communicate with the free
holders as to the progress that is
being made in the matter at Wash
ington.
The Office of Senator Walter E.
Edge also communicated with the
freeholders yesterday and reported
that the senator was absent but that
on his return the matter will be
placed before him. The office of
the senator. however, took the mat
ter up with Major G.. r. Young, and
he replied that the Board of Rivers
and Harbors will hold the movement
in allegiance until after NovembeR.

ACTION PUSHED
ON SOFT COAL
Stoppage of Anthracite Min
ing Would Constitute
Emergency, Body Says
Statement Is ISSUED
Cooperation of Consumers
With Soft Coal Operators
Urged

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Stop-
page OF anthracite mining would con-
stitutesa public emergency, the Coal
Commission said today in formal
statement, requiring the full Coop
Grafton of consumers with soft coal
operators and all agencies of distri-
button, with all possible aid through
executive action by federal and state
government.
"If those who now control the
mining and distribution of anthracite
are to continue to think only of their
own demands and not at all of the
public's demand for COAL" the state
ment said, 1.-The Coal Commission
feels that every measure should be
taken to supply the domestic fuel
needed in the homes of the great
mass of consumers, and especially of
the industrial workers, throughout
he east"
IA careful review of the situation,
Chairman John Hays Hoihmand said
led the commission to still cling to
itg belief that the stoppage of an
thracite production would not be al
lowed to occur because Of the vital
interests of both miners, and opera
tors, which wotfld be trremedially
injured. On the othec hand, he said.
the government did not feel that
the public interest would be served
through another attempt on IFS part
10 intervene in the deadlock.
Government preparations to pro-
tect anthracite consumers from
fuel shortage were accelerated today
as the threatened shutdown of hard
coal mines September 1 drew an
other day nearer with no move to-
ward a renewal of negotiations.
There still was a lingering hope
in official quarters, however, that
such a move would come. The last
word on the governments position
was given by Chairman Hammond of
the Coal Commission after a con-
ference yesterday with President
Coolidge when he said the commits
sion had no present intention of fur
ther intervening in the dispute. The
geological survey today was drawing
up final data on the amount of fuel
that would be available as a sub
stitute to offset the shortage in an
thracite while the bureau of mines
had ready instructions in the use of
bituminous coal as substitute.
The Department of Justice,
through it's agents, is keeping a close
watch on the situation in the an
thracite fields in order to be pre-
pared for any disorders. There was
no indication of any change in the
view of the administration that there
was no legal authority by which the
walkout might be prevented.
Apparently no word had been re-
.ceived in official quarters today to
substantiate reports of sympathetic
strike by organized miners in the BIZ
luminous fields. Most officials were
clined to view such a possibility as
= emote, although it has not been lost
sight of in the government prepara-
tions to protect the public.

Last Day of Flights

CHICAGO. Aug. "a (By The Asso-
Gated Press) The last transconti-
mental air mail flights in the test
period began this morning when
planes left San Francisco and New
York on coast to coast flights.
A regular transcontinental air
mail service, operated both day and
night, is assured, as a result of the
tests Postmaster General New stat
ed. Until it begins, the air mail will
be operated as it has been during the
past tWenty-eight months.
With the termination of the flights
begun today, combined distance of
approximately $4,000 miles will have
been covered, 5000 of which will
have been flown over a night air
way, which was lighted for the pur-
pose at a cost of a half million dol
lars, officials said. More than two
hundred times that sum would be
required to provide railroad mail
transportation lines over the same
route, it was pointed out.
A record of four minutes under
the scheduled 2S hours time for the
eastbound fight was established yes
terday on the third day of the tests.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24:-That
the New Jersey representatives in
congress will be solidly behind Pres
ident Coolidge in whatever steps he
may take in handling the coal sit
uation, and ready to back the Presi-
dent with whatever legislation he
may require, was indicated today by
Representative Isaac Bacharach in
a telegram sent to President cool
idge from Atlantic City, where the
congressman has been following
closely the developments in the con-
ference between the representatives
of the anthracite miners and oper-
ators.
Remembering the distressing con-
ditions which prevailed throughout
New Jersey last winter when 1t was
almost impossible to obtain hard
coal, Mr.. Bacharach finds it almost
noomprehensible to think of another
strike being forced on the people.
While not opposed to the miners

MORGAN JUSTICE OF PEACE
RESIGNS FROM POSITION

A sweeping denunciation of
tactics employed by a number
of justices of the peace through
out the state is causing their
resignation from the office.
Governor George S. Silzer ac-
cepted on Tuesday the resigna-
tion of Eugene r. Rosselot as
justice of the peace from Mid
dlesex county without any COM
ment. Mr.. Rosselot, according
to press reports, has had an un-
usually stormy career as a JUS
tice and some of his activities
in holding wayside court are
under investigation by the au-
thorities. 1t was said that Mr..
Rosselot has been too drastic in
his punishment of motor vehicle
violations no matter how small
the offense may have been.
There are still pending in
courts a number of appeals
made against the sentences i'm
posed by Mr.. Rosselot. Some
three weeks ago he sentenced
a New z )rk motorist to four
months in Jail in addition to
fine and the defendant last week
filed an appeal against it.

Figures Show That tuberculosis Is
Spreading, Chiefly Among Women
Active in Industrial World.

The death rate from tuberculosis
among women is on the increase In
spite of the increase in active cases
among women the death rate for males
is still higher than that for females
by almost one-third. The sudden in
iux of women into industry during
the war may, in a measure. be re-
spOnsible for this increase" says a
statement from the National Tubercu-
losis association. This does not
mean that there is any real basis for
the assumption that women are not as
well fitted for industrial work as men
are. It is a fact, however, that many
women who work in industry also look
after their household duties and bring
up large families of children. Conse-
quently, insufficient rest. improperly
cooked food and lack Of fresh air SO

The Ell Molo ("Poor Deyil') are a

on islands close to the east shore of
Lake Rudolf, in East Africa. They are
now a community of about 10 souls
under the leadership Of a blind chief.
They construct the poorest type Of
shelter from leaves of the Dom palm.
Their sole food is fish, which they occa-

coarse-meshed fiber nets; their only
drink is the vile soda-impregnated
water of the lake.

Robert 7. Lincoln Probably Only Man

Chain of Tragedies.

Robert T. Lincoln, son of President
Lincoln, and now in his eightieth year,
was in the army and stationed in Yir-

report af Washington. He got into the
theater just in time to e his father

Robert T. Lincoln was secretary Of
war under Garfield. He was asked by
the President to meet him at the sta
ton, and he reached there just as Gar
field was assassinated. Mr.. Lincoln re-
ceived an invitation TO attend the for
NAL opening of the PanzAmefican ex-
position at Buffalo, and accompanied
by his family, got there just in time
to see President Mckinley shot by
Czolgosz.
MIR. Lincoln related this eery expert
nee recently to a friend, says Forbes

says the writer, it had never before
been published.
