to West Main street, and Meadow street, from Freight street to West Main street.
 Work Starts At Once
 Supt. of Streets Thomas J. Flem- ing will be authorized to have the street department begin work at once on the paving of Homer street, from Thoinaston avenue to Chase avenue. In all the projects planned, street car tracks will be removed.
 In connection with the Bank street paving, the roadway will be Widened from Harrison avenue to Center street, by approximately five feet. Permission of the property owners has been secured, and nego- tiations with the remaining owners were expected to be completed this afternoon. The sidewalk on the west side of Bank street, along the strip in question, will be narrowed by five feet. The sidewalk there is now 15 feet wide.
 The paving plans were decided this morning at a conference at tended by Mayor Frank Hayes Controller Daniel J. Leary, Execu- tive Secretary Thomas P. Kelly atlc City Engineer Cairns. Additiona paving work is planned for later in the year.
 Finance Funds
 The work will be financed witt funds gathered from the sale o street and general improvement bonds, the issuance of which wa. approved recently by the state gen eral assembly. A total of $7l5,000 ol the bonds has already been sold The city was given permission to sel bonds totalling $1,300,000.
 The city engineer will also be au. thorized tonight to lay 36-incf pipe from Cherry street, Watertowr through Watertown to Adt's switch and to lay a 16-inch pipe from that point to the Oakville- Waterbury town line.
 Bids will be called for on three of the four paving projects because the street department lacks thi necessary personnel and equipment to do such extensive work. Int Homer street project is well within the departments scope. Work or this project will begin next week. Other Work This Year
 Other paving work is planned fol this year, but must await the com. pletion of the necessary under. ground work. Such is the case witt North Main street, which will b. paved from Savings street north a. son as the sewer and pipe work needed is completed. Another piece of work being planned is the wid. ening of Bank street, from Center street to Grand street. City engin- eers have already begun to study this situation.
 After being given the necessary authorization tonight, City Engineer Cairns will set the date for the filing of the bids. Concrete paving will b. used on Willow street, and probably on Congress avenue. The paving a Exchange Place and at West Mair and Willow street will be of asphalt with a concrete base. The same typl of pavement will be used on Homei street.
 It is expected that the $7l6,00l already raised from the sale O street and general improvement bonds will more than cover the pro jects announced today. There wil be ample funds from the sale of tn remainder of the issue to financ the rest of the work planned thi year
 During the Hayes administration the city has previously done It's owl paving work. The magnitude of tn

TRACKs DYNAMITED

Niles, O., June l5.-(UPD-A Sec- ton of track on Pennsylvania rail- road line used to run short trains to the strike -bound Republic Steel Cor poration plant in Warren, O., was dynamited today. Railroad officials, who investigated the dynamiting, said enough track was torn away by the blast to have derailed a train. Police said that they earlier had discovered that a passenger train apparently had knocked aside a large block of wood placed across the tracks at the same spot where they later discovered the dynamic ing. Niles and Warren, only three miles apart, are scenes of steel strikes.
 At Warren Baltimorea nd Ohio freight train boy car was derailed earlier today. Union men on the Warren picket line claimed that they knew nothing about the box car de- railing. The Niles explosion oc- cured under a small bridge in Wad- dell Park. Republic has been op- erating mills in both Warren and Niles, despite the strike. In both cities Republic has been moving food to besieged workers, principal ly by airplane.

MONROE MAYOR READY

Monroe, Mich., June 15.-(UP)- Mayor Daniel A. Knaggs, comman- der of a thousand men who are said to be ready to grab up guns if a siren should summon them to repel an "outside invasion" arranged to confer with c. I. O. representatives today on the resumption of picket ing at the Newton Steel Go. plant.
 The mayor said that peaceful picketing" would be permitted if C.. I. O. leaders could agree with him on regulations for governing 1t.
 But he said "our people" were de- termined to defend themselves "even if the state and federal governments would not do so."
 The conference was requested by Charles Riser, steel workers organ izing committee director in Detroit, who telephoned that he would bring five others to talk on the mayor to- day.
 Pending the discussion. Knaggs declined to say how many picketS would be permitted.
 He made clear, however, that the city government, backed by a vigi- lante reserve, would not tolerate any effort to blockade the Newton mill, which was reopened after pickets were driven from the neighborhood with gas last week.
 OutWardly, Monroe was quiet and normal. Except in the vicinity of the mill, special guards and vigi- lanteS no longer were in evidence.

 Unionists, maneuvering to seek federal intervention, declared rnearl- time they would call out c. I. O.. reserves to combat any strike breaking plot"
 Companies Refused Him
 At his first joint meeting Davey advanced a proposal that the corn- panies sign a contract as demanded by the union, but on condition that the union give assurance that 1t would not seek closed shop or the check-off system by which the enl- ployer deducts union dues from workers pay envelopes.
 The companies held out steadfast- ly against signing any contract to which the c. I. O. union would be a party. There was not the slightest indication they would yield now. They have maintained that their reason was that the c. I. O. was irresponsible and that a contract would be an entering wedge toward the closed shop.
 The governor said he had not asked President Roosevelt to inter vene. Asked if he might later make such request, he replied We must take things step by step"

COAL STRIKE EFFECTIVE

Pittsburg, June 15.-(UP(-The coal strike called by John L. Lewis was made effective today against all captive" mines operated by Bethle- hem Steel Corporation, Republic Steel, and Youngstown Sheet & Tube.
 The 19 mines operated by those companies in western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia were closed and 10000 miners were idle as the United Mine Workers ot America threw its support behind striking steel workers and sought signed contracts for the "captives."
 Patrick T. Pagan, head of Dis trict No. 5 of the United Mine Work CTS, said the strike was 100 per cent effective"
 we are striking to win contract for the captive mines with the steel companies and also to help out the steel workers" Pagan said.

Jim Lavender Held Giants Itless Cubs Winning, 2.O
August 3i, 1915, at New York (Thls Is the besA pitching fest evsr
 performed on August 3i

performed on August 3i)
 Hurling ono of the greatest games of his career, Jim Lavender shut out the oiants, 2 to 0. allowing them only one hit.
 Just one Of "MuggSy" Mc0rawB pesky Giants reached base, he being Fred Merkle, who got on twice, though only once through the fault of Lavender. Merkle reached first in the second inning on Fishers error, and was the recipient Of Jimb only bit of iiheraiity, drawing . pass in the eighth Outside of these two instances, first base remained free from invasion, although Cy VII. liams' great catch made it possible.
 So good was Lavender bending them across the pan, that on only two occasions was the ball driven out of the infield. he oiants' closest approach to c hit came in the seventh, when Larry Doyle caught one soiidiy and sent 1t soaring over Cy Williams head. Cy was of with the crack of the boat and, by c prodigious effort, sfiared the ball with . mighty leap, which saved Lavender's iao-hit game for him. - Chicago scored their first run in the fourth inning on Cy Willianis home run, which, the way Lavender was travelling, was sufficiently large
 enough to win. However, the Cubs added another in the fifth when schauer uilcorked c wild pitch with Good on third base.

 They took the lead yesterday with a 4-3 victory over. the Cincinnati Reds. The last time the Giants were on top for only one day and Carl Hubbell pitched them into the lead then.
 Yesterday, Hubbell stepped in and halted a red rally in the seventh inning when Cllff Melton faltered, It was the Giants 18th victory in le starts and 1t wiped out what was once a seven game lead for the Cubs.
 Faltered
 Melton had held the Reds score. less until the seventh. He had a four run lead but single by Riggs and Q double by Meyers, after 6 walk and Q error put two men on base, gave the Reds three runs. Hubbell went in when Chick Hafey was sent in to pinch hit. Hubbell allowed only one hit. It was the only game in the National league.
 In the America, the Detroit Tigers defeated the New York Yankees b-4 when Gerry Walker doubled home Charley dehringer with the winning run in the the seventh. Hank oreenberg hit his 3oth home run and Rudy York his 2eth.
