Taken at WASHINGTON

Engineers 0verrue District Engineers in Adverse Re-
port on Raritan Bay and River Improvement.

favorable report on the project.
Congress, during its last session,
put provision in the rivers and
harbors bill directing the secretary
of war to have a preliminary exam
lnation and survey made of Raritan
bay and river and to report on the
feasibility and advisability of estab-
fishing a 30-foot channel to Sandy
Hook.
At the office of the board of en-
gineers it was learned today that a
report was received a few days ago
from Colonel Newcomer, the district
engineer for northern New Jersey,
making an unfavorable report on the
Raritan Bay and river project.
Various interested parties have
been notified, it was said, and efforts
are now being made for giving a
hearing to those in favor of the pro-
ject. After this hearing Is held and
all available information obtained
the board will take pthe report of
Colonel Newcomer and make it's rec
ommendation.
The report will then go to General
Beach, chief of engineers, who will
add his recommendation, and the
full report will then be submitted to
congress.
AS a general rule congress is guild
ed in river and harbor legislation al
most wholly by the recommendations
of the engineers. This makes it ex-
tremely desirable to have the recon-
of the district engineer
in this case upset.

BY GEORGE H. MANNING
washington Correspondent of The
Perth Amboy Evening News)


WASHINGTON. Aug. Ex-senator
Edward 1. Edwards OF New Jersey
is making a strong effort to have
the board of engineers for rivers and
harbors overrule the district engi-
neer who recently sent to Washing
ton a recommendation that the gov
ernment should not undertake the
further improvement of Raritan bay
and river with view of establishing
a 30-foot channel from Perth Amboy
to Sandy Hook.
Senator Edwards attention was
first called to this matter two or
three days ago when he received a
copy of resolution adopted on
August at New Brunswick by the
freeholders of Middlesex county
voicing their disapproval of the ad-
verse report made by the district en-
gineer and urging reconsideration of
the matter and appropriation by
congress of sufficient funds to estab-
lish the 30-foot channel.
Senator Edwards at once took the
matter up with General Lansing
Beach, chief of engineers, and asked
him for the facts on which the dis
trict engineer based his adverse re-
port. With this information in hand
Senator Edwards intends to place
facts before the board of engineers
which will review the findings of the
district engineer. which he hopes
will influence the board to make a

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Al-

plans. the government is pre-
pared to move decisively to pre-
vent serious consequences from
the threatened suspension of
anthracite production, Septem-
Der /.
Not only will the railroads,
the soft coal producers and the
state governments be expected
to do what they can to minimize
suffering and Generalization of
industry, but federal officials in
every agency from the White
House down, will stand ready to
throw the weight of their au-
thority into the balance if it
becomes necessary.
In the preparations now be-
ing made for eventualities the
possibility of averting a final
break between the operators and
miners has been almost COM
pletely submerged.

COAL WARNING
FOR CONF FEREES
Operators and Miners Repre-
SentativeS Get Official Mo-
tiCe from Government

ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. 23-Semi-
official notice that the federal gov
ernment would not intervene fur
ther in antracite wage negotiations
to prevent a stoppage of the mines
September /. today reached Allan
tic city. The news was conveyed to
both the policy committee of the
mine operators, and the officials of
the miners union, who broke off
Tuesday. negotiations for a new
wage contract, and left the unre-
lieved prospect of a shut down in
the industry next week. The United
States coal commission, both sides
were told, could go no further in
endeavor to enforce peace since the
renewal of the wage contract ne
gotiations which was taken at its in
tervention last week had merely
served to precipitate another break.
Notwithstanding the operators
group held the intention of remain
ing in Atlantic City, at least until
the end of the week, to make good
the showing that the employers
would seek every effort to reopen
discussion. John L. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers, and
the scale committee of the union, it
was also said, would probably stand
by also until tomorrow.
But there was no change of atti-
tude in the front which the employ
ers' group and the union spokesmen
have opposed to each other. Mr..
Lewis stood by the presentation Of
the union demand for 50 a day
wage increase for all men employed
by the day in the mines, and for a
20 per cent increase in the piece
rates per ton for mining coal. The
anthracite operators, refusing any
increase over the present scale, ten
der arbitration of the issue and of
every other issue between the union
and the employers, guaranteeing
likewise to make any award of wage
increases which the arbitration may
result in retroactive to September 1
if the mines are kept running.
Mr.. Lewis has maintained silence
since he served notice that the mines
would stop September l. There have
been no meetings together of the
parties concerned, though the oper-
ators said today that they would ask
another meeting if "even a pretext"
could be found, though their attitude
would be unchanged.
