(UNIQUE SOCIAL GIVEN
AT BAPTIST CHURCH
The ship was Ailed and all in good
fellowship too, at tho "Fill a Ship
with Fellowship Sofcial" given last
Friday night in the First Baptist
church in Madison avenue, under the
auspices of the Woman’s Missionary
Society. The various organizations
of the church had united with mis
sion society in preparing one of the
most enjoyable evenings ever held
In the church and the number of
articles heaped in the shirp will go a
long way in aiding the sufferers in
Central Europe, for which purpose
they were given.
Mrs. J. F. Walker, the president
of the society, presided over the
program of the evening, during

abeth, formerly Miss Thelma Em

solo and Miss Lucy Bernard enter
tained with a number just as delight
ful at the piano. The reports of

Emmons from the Northfleld Sum
mer School were very interesting,
each one centering on the new mis
•'•lull fHUUJ UUUA| J lil7 G |llllg Ug 11 a -
tions.”
However, the filling of the ship
with the neatly tied packages by
several little girls dressed in mid
dy costume, while Maurice McHose
on his saxaphone, played "Sailing”
and the girls took up the chorus, was
the most effective number of the pro
gram. The ship, which was really a
canoe, set with a sail, occupied the
center of the platform and the flag
which formed the background blend
ed with the color scheme of blue and
white which further adorned the
church. The program concluded
with the singing of America aftef
which the really social part of the
evening took place and the commit
tee served refreshments. The church
was filled with an interested audi
ence.

time for the event's success deserve

tions and Mrs. Eugene Hope, chair

STRIKE TO HIT EASTERN
ROADS, CHICAGO SAYS
(Continued from page 1)
To ConiplAe Plans for Strike
CHICAGO. Oct. 17.—While^ heads
of the big four brotherhood and of
the switchmen's unions prepared to
meet in Cleveland tomorrow to com
plete the plans for the rail strike
which they have called for October
30. Union chiefs said todai that
leaders of some of the eleven other
railroad labor organizations still
were opposing a walkout and would
attempt to keep their men from
joining with the five organizations
which have definitely permitted
themselves to plan a strike.
The big five membership numbers
only 40,000 of the 2,000,000 rail
roads employes.
Whether the opposition of these
eaders will result in a break between
the two groups will not be fully set
tled until a meeting of the general
’hairnian of the eleven unions here
some time this week when issuance
if a formal strike call will be voted
)n. Several labor board leaders said
today that they believed the major
ty would rule and that it would be
t case of "majority strike, all strike."
rhev nrnfpt;*! ♦hot t Vi atm id HttlP
chance of a break.
The brotherhood made known last
night that they revised the list of
roads to which the first of the series
pf proposed progressive walkouts
would start so as to exclude Penn
sylvania lines, the Erie railroad and
the Louisville & Nashville. This
[eaves no eastern roads to be affect
ad by the first walkout. •
The walkouts are scheduled to
take place in four groups, one every
forty-eight hours, starting at 6 A. M.
standard time October 30. Conse
juently the east would not feel the
strike at least until November 1.
The roads to be included in the
three other groups have not been
decided upon as yet. but probably
will be at the Cleveland meeting,
inion men said today.
The elimination of the Pennsylva
lia from the first group caused con
siderable surprise as a bitter con
troversy had been on W'ith its men
ind it was believed it would be the
irst road affected by the strike.
Similar Action Like1*
BOSTON, Oct. 17:—The Brother
mod of Railroad Station Employes,
in independent organization, will
probably take action similar to the
Big Four If a walkout Is carried out.
P. J. Coyle, president of the station
smployes organization, said today.
Counting on ballots in a strike
vote taken by the station employes
i. still proceeding, but there is no
luestion, he added, but it will give
the officers a chance to call the men
put "under certain conditions.”
President Coyle said that unless a
further cut in wages is made thero
would be no serious interruption in
railroad service. Both side3, he sai4,
‘were maneuvering positions" at ]
the present time.
Big Fleet of Trucks
NEW YORK, Oct. 17:—A fleet ol'
57,000 trucks or as many of them
as are found necessary will be
mobilized In the event of a protract
ed general railroad strike to carry
the New York quota of foodstuffs,
Health Commissioner Copeland an
nounced today.
There are adequate supplies in
storage, he said, for three weeks,
but importation of milk by truck
would have to begin at once. f
Efforts are being made to induce v
large consumers to flu their coal V
bins immediately so that dealers can
stock up again bpfore the date set
for the strike.
I*lan to Meet Strike
NEW YORK, Oct. 17—Members
of the National Association of Rail
road Executives were called togeth
er here today to make plans to meet

but all had left that city before the

nounced.

DRASTIC PROBE IN'DEATH
OF AT CB0SSIH6
(Continued from page 1)
Patrolman John J. Riedy, on
whose post Moritko’s saloon is situ
ated in which Sarika is said to have
become Intoxicated made a signed
statement before Chief Tonnesen to
day in which he said he and Officer
William Petersen had been called to
Moritko’s saloon to put out Sarika, s
who was creating a disturbance. Of- (
fleer Riedy says he told Sarika to get V
out of the building and this the man
agreed to do. The two officers then
went back to their post the statement
said, but ten minutes later they
heard a crash as of breaking glass.
Iteturning to the saloon they con
ducted an Investigation but found
nothing wrong and again returned to
heir posts. This, Officer Riedy said,
is all that he knows of the case. He
denied having heard any revolver
shots and says persons might have
heard railroad torpedoes being ex
ploded and thought it was shoot
ing. Officer Peterson is in New
Brunswick today on a court casa and
could not be reached by Chief Ton
nesen. He will be questioned, how
ever and asked to give a statement.

The Sunken Grave
NOTHING can be sadder than a grave that is no longer a mound. The
inevitable has come to pass—the weight of the sodden earth has
crushed in the last protection. It helps nothing to close the imagina- ij
tion to what happens then! Yet there is not the slightest necessity for this
old-fashioned, barbarous, unsanitary method of burial. The Norwalk Vault—
at little cost—will protect absolutely and forever. Moulded granite and steel,
waterproof and airtight, it is sealed by hand in your presence and becomes j
one solid piece oi.'masonry that literally “Lasts through the Ages.1’ The best
undertakers insist on its use. They make the Norwalk Vault tlje foundation
of every first class funeral.
