In New York. Majority of Mem bers of Machinists' Union Have Voted to Strike, Labor Leaders Say, at tie Monition Plants U New .York.. '.. By The iatetaM Pna) New York, Sept. ' 16. Several trade unions voted today to determine their response to the eall for a cen tral strike to back up the street car employees. - By Monday the laboi leaders expect to Ret a settlement for Longshore . teamsters, Tide Warm Boatsnien and Bargemen, and Sta tionary Engineers and Fireinei.. By Monday they assert that 70.000 mn will be called to protect the life of the Unions in New York. The union leaders . announce thai the majority of tlie members of the Machinists' union, having a mem bership of 25,000, have voted to strike at the munition plants in this city to protest against the financial interests of the owners of the subway, elevated and surface lines. Should the long shoremen, lwatmen and bargemen go out all work on the water front would be tied up. The police commissioner has been inform, ed that 8,000 local bargemen will quit today. It is stated that the longshore men have voted to go out. This movement is described by the Central Federated Union as "prepar atory to a general strike." While it is estimated that there. are 800,000 trade unionists in New York, but the strike will not call out but half of that number, 400,000. ' One man was killed and 34 injured in accidents on elevated and surface car lines within the last 24 hours. New York, Sept. 16.

SICK CHILDREN NOT l , . WANTED AT SCHOOL asaaaaaaaaaS -.- - Parents Are Urfed to Ears Children Examined Before School Starts. , 1 For the reason that the mingling of sick , children with well children will spread disease even to epidemic pro portions, the State Board of Health is,, therefore, advising all parents not to send a sick ehild to school, not even if he has nothing more than a running nose, a alight eough or some other soealled trivial ailment. Parents are urged to have the family physi cian look over their children and correct all defects and whatever ail ments there may be before school starts. Especially is this advised where there has been no medical su pervision provided for the opening of school. "This," says the Board, "will not only safeguard the children's health bnt it will be the means of prevent ing epidemics of various communi cable diseases such as - diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles or whooping eough. As a matter of fact, it is only a short space of time before a health certificate will be a child's first re quirement for entering school." SEND THE PAPER TO THE CHILDREN OPF AT SCHOOL The Times Eight Months for $1.00, Daily Tribune Eight Months $2.00. Every parent should send either The Times or The Daily Tribune to the children who go off to school. There is nothing they could possibly appreciate more. We will send The Times eight months for only $1.00 or The Tribune for $100 for the same time. Let one of the papers start now. j Big Paper Hons, to Be Opened in Charlotte. Charlotte 'Observer. Word was received in Charlotte Friday that the Western Newspaper Union will open a .pig wholesale pa per house here 'within the next two weeks. Stock is already on the-way to be placed here and the opening will take place as soon as it arrives. According to a telegram -.received from A. H. Tumev, manager of the agency which the Western Newspaper Union maintains at 211 North Graham street for the two Caxplinas. the big wholesale institution will serve this entire section of the Southern States. It will be one of the largest paper .house in this part of the country and. will supply all kinds of paper, etc.- ...

' ' - Kaiser Has 1.000,000 Men Opposite ' Allies ea the Somme. Special to New York World. At the British Front on the Sotume Srpt 13, via London Sept.' 14. In Spite of tbe steady ' advance being made on the Somme, the British army does not Jook to a quick termination of the war. Officers and soldiers alike with whom I have talked real ise the German strength, snd wfeile figuring on continuously advancing and. forcing the Germans back, they are always talking of next year. Tbe phrase has become almost a byword. They are determined to carry the war on to German soil, snd the army seems to be st one in the belief thst it can be done. The Kaiser may nev er have spoken of Gen. French's contemptible httle army, but tbe British army believes he did, snd is eager to show its power. There is cer tainly nothing contemptibly small about this army, and the Somme re inforcements are literally thiok from there to the sea. Seeing these reinforcements visu alizes for me what has happened to the British army in two years since I heard a German General cry out in Binche, Belgium: "We have met the English at Mons and are driving them into the sea." The Germans, realizing the British strength, are concentrating against the British. Though theliritish hold but 100 miles of the 360-mile front in France, it is estimated that a third of the German effectives are concen trated against them, mostly on the Somme. As Germany has 2,000,00 troops in France, there are 700,000 against the British. On the Somme, opposite the French and British lines Germany has combined an armv of 1000,000 men.

Why do. so few people living in new houses, or who have recently moved, suffer fire losses! Because, generally, they have prev iously removed those conditions which cause fires, by clearing the premises of trash and rubbish. These are some of the ways to avoid fires: Don't put ashes in wooden vessels. Don't start fires with kerosene oil. 'Don't use any but. safety matches. Don't allow rubbish to accumulate in cellar or attic. Don't, allow trash or paper under or behind pieces of furniture. Don t place oil lamps or candles under or neariinner decorations or other inflammable material. Don't leave the room with paper, ...
