Union leaders accused the rail-
road operators of failing to bar
gain with them, and threatened
the nationwide tie-up unless
their demands are met at once.
Government mediators, work
ing to avert the threatened
strike, pointed out that the
unions could not call a walkout
in September unless they were
willing to disregard conteacts
signed in compliance with the
national railroad laborers' act.
Unions, under the contract,
are bound to observe formalities
before calling a strike which
would require at least two
months before they actually
could walk off their jobs.

: LONDON. Sept. 5.-There was
published speculation today that
Viscount Halifax might not re
turn to the United States as am
bassador. It was said in these
accounts that both he and Sir
Samuel Hoare were being con-

Informed persons, however,
deprecated these reports, along
with one that Capt Oliver Lyttel-

in Washington.
Lord Halifax himself said upon
his arrival from the United States
two weeks ago that he expected to

Key West Naval Station
Takes First Place Over
Others In Work Program
Contracts Rushed Faster
Than AIT Other Yards
That Are Placed In
Glass Two

Contract work at the Key West
naval station during July was
rushed faster Than al any other
station of its size. Lieut.. Albert
J. Fay. navy public works officer.
has been notified by the bureau
of yards and docks at Washing
ton.
The local station, grouped in
class 2 because its monthly ex-
penditure on contracts is be-
tween $300,O0a and 100000,
won first place in competition
with every other station of that
class under the us. navy's juris-
diction.
Class ! stations are those with
monthly expenditures of more
than 100000, while the third
class is for stations with expen-
ditures of less than 100000.
In announcing that the local
station had won first place in
aHe opening month of the COM
petition, the bureau explained
that system of awards will be
worked out for the speediest
construction jobs on month-to-
month basis.
Should the local station hold
its place at the top of the list for
three months, it will be awarded
blue pennant. No station can
win more than two of the pen
ants, but the station leading at
the end of the 1912 fiscal year
will be awarded silver cup.
The Key West station, it was
pointed out here, must have
been far ahead of the field when
the contest began, since a strike
held up work for almost full
week in July.

An adequate and steady flow
of fresh water for Key West"
was evidently uppermost in the
minds of the members of the
City Council at its meeting last
night inasmuch as every council
man voted favorably when the
ordinance was read on its sec
ond. third and final reading.
which gave unanimous approval
for turning over TO the Florida
Keys Aqueduct Commission the
citY's underground water system.
This requirement was made by
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
porafion. which had made a def
inite commitment for a sl.500.00O
loan to the aqueduct board.
Fresh water for the Island
City at any cost appeared to
permeate the air in council
chambers last night as there was
not a semblance of opposition to
the passage of the document.
which was the last remaining
factor that stood in the way Of
the aqueduct commission putting
the finishing touches on its pro-
posal toward securing the neces-,
sary loan from the RFC, which
amount will be matched with
the Navy Departments $4,000
900, making a total of $500, 900,
which is necessary to finance
operations in constructing
fresh water pipeline from the
mainland to Key West.
William Freeman, council
president, and Councilman Glen
wood Sweeting, who opposed the
measure at previous meetings
during which time they voiced
their objections on certain pro-
visions of the ordinance, jumped
on the ''band wagon last night
with the other councilmen and
voted to put through the meas
ure which it appears means so
much to Key West. Messrs. Free
man and Sweeting stated that
since some of the things that
they had opposed had been clari-
fled they stood ready to make
the vote on the issue unanimous.
The aqueduct board will get
busy Immediately in contracting
the RFC with a hope that the
matter will soon be brought to
successful and satisfactory con-
clusion.
A communication was read
from Mayor Willard M. Albuay
