Small Fire Occurred
On Walnut St., Tuesday

The alarm of fire on Tuesday even
ing, about 1880 o'clock, came as the
result Of a threatening blaze at the
home of Mr.. Roy Mason, on Walnut
Street.
For awhile it seemed that the fire
would make considerable Roadway,
since it was very difficult to reach,
being inside, but it was finally mas
tered by the local fire fighters, be-
fore serious damage was done. The
house is the property of Mr.. William
Bunting.

be at their peak against the Soldiers,
and this is one game that cannot be
very easily predicted, so far as its
outcome is concerned.
The situation is very similar be-
tween Princeton and Yale, who settle
matters on Saturday. Last year,
Princeton approached the Yale game
with an unbroken record of victories,
, only to go down before the deter
mined stand of the Ellis. This year
finds the two teams in a similar posi-
ton. Princeton has proven herself
one of the outstanding elevens of the
country, and, probably, would be I'M
animous choice for the Rose Bowl
classic, if she would consider post
season contests. But her regular
season closes Saturday with Yale, and
it stays closed, no post-season games
allowed. uAAs
Admirers of both Yale and Prince
ton are looking forward to the clash
between the two, with a great deal
of interest, and are wondering wheth-
e1: the Yale jinx will again carry Old
Nassau to defeat. But it is likely
that same defeat of 1884 will be a
stimulus for Princeton to put forth
extra efforts and Yale is likely in
for drubbing.
In Maryland, the two leading
teams-University and Western Mary
land-have yet to settle supremacy.
When they do meet, the former will
likely be returned winner. The Meth
odists have not had a very successful
season, due, some think, to the loss
of their 1884 coach-Dick Harlow.
Western Maryland showed up very
well with North Dakota, but that
eleven can hardly be classed among
the top-notchers. Maryland has been
coming stronger and stronger with
each game and looks to land State
honors.
Washington, St. Johns, Hopkins,
Mt. st. Mary's, and Baltimore Uni
versity, all had rather unsuccessful
seasons, and look for better things
next year.
Washington started out as if it
would repeat the unbeaten record of
"a, but after winning the first three
games on the schedule, proceeded to
drop the next four.
Mt. st. Mary's was so strengthened
by new material that only one 1884
player armed place on the '35 elev-
en-. This shows that some hustling
was done to put a winning team in
the field.
The colleges will now turn to bas-
ket ball, one of the most thrilling of
indoor sports, and soon the cagers
will be tossing 'em in to the shouts of
the multitude.

WORKERS DECLARE
CANAL JOB VERY
LITTLE AID TO THEM
Low Scale Of Wages And Rain
Blamed For Their Dis
satisfaction

More than one hundred men, who
work on the contract jobs of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, meet
ing at an open air meeting at the
north side of the Market street bridge
over the Christiana River today, de-
clared they were unable to earn
enough money to keep them and their
families. They further said that the
jobs they hold on the canal prevent
them from obtaining sustaining work
through the work-relief employments
agencies.
The workers conferred with rep
resentatives Of the WPA and the
State Employment Service by tele-
phone are arranging a conference Of
representatives of the u. S. Engineer
canal contractors, Federal work-relief
agencies and laborers on the canal
work, hoping to obtain some relief.
The men, who are contractors
workers say that due to the weather
conditions they are frequently able
to earn only from So to $40 week
and sometimes nothing; that New
Jersey employees of the contractors
are given preference on the work and
the holding of jobs with the canal con-
tractors prevents the workers from
getting a work-relief job which would
at least sustain them and their fami-
lies.
The men are tractor operators,
steam shovel and truck operators and
laborers, most of them on the contract
work being done by the Edward H.
Ellis Company, of Westville, N. J.
Steam shovel men are paid at the
rate of $1.1O an hour, tractor men
at 70 cents an hour, truck operators
at 65 cents an hour and laborers at
As cents an hour. The men were
notified this week that there was no
work due to weather conditions. They
declared that they have been making
only a few hours week and are I'M
able to make living wage because
of postponement of work due to
weather.
In addition, the men say they are
required to furnish their own trans
portation at rs cents a day, or SLIPS
a week. The rate of pay, they point
ed out, whether for all jobs was not
the subject Of the complaint but the
lack of sufficient work.
Representatives of the group said
about 200 men on the Ellis contract
wre affected by the situation and
about 600 altogether working on con-
tract jobs on the canal. They de-
clared that the hand labor men, work.
ing at a fixed rate of $45 month on
canal dyke work, of which there are
about 1000 working from Wilmington
and New Castle, are much better off.
The hand labor men are being paid
a fixed rate, rain or shine, have their
transportation furnished by the u. S.
Engineers and are furnished clothing
and even fuel.
