CARRIER EMPLOYES TO
BE DEPRIVED OF WORK
Approximately 10,900 Men Will Be
Effected.—Traffic is Paralyzed.
Philadelphia. Aug. 20.—The an
thaeite suspension ordered for Sep
tember 1 not only will mean a walk
out of 150.000 workers, excluding
the 8,000 to 10,000 maintenance men
remaining in the mlucrt by mutual
agreement, but will also throw out of
work 10,000 railroad men, officials
of anthracite carries in the region
reported today.
This small host of rail employes
directly serves tin- local and through
movement of hard coal produced at
the mines. Their present tenure of
employment after “suspension Tues
day,” officials said, was good for only
two additional days or so at the
most. By then the roads will have
cleaned up the last of the mine coal
awaiting shipment.
Immediately thereafter the anthra
cite carrying roads would issue or
ders closing down locomotive upd car
repair shops in their hard coal terri
tory thus laying off several thousand
shopmen and car repairmen, it was
said. A similar order would go out
for roundhouse men and train and
engine . rews on mine and through
coul trains. The last blnek steel coni
“gondola” will go on a siding to re
main until operators and miners are’
again at peace.
Japanese have inclosed nearly 7,-
00Q square miles of Formosa with
electrified barbed.wire entanglements
to keep the “tamed”- natives from
the “untamed.”

ASHEVILLE’S WATER -SHORT

At tlie Bert, the City’s Available
Supply Is Less Than One-Half
Normal.
Asheville, Aug. 29.—Swift action
was taken by the city authorities to
day to meet the problem caused by
the acute shortage of water here
which is a result of the prolonged
drought, ,
Water from the Asheville school
lake which will add about 500,000
gallons daily to the supply, will be
pumped U*tP the city muius beginning
Sunday ■'teaming about G o’clock.
Beaver lake water, chlorinated and
fiiltored, is now being pumped into
the main and with supply from
North Fork and Bee Tree, the city
will have about 2, 400.000 gallons
available Moinjay, leas than half-of
normal demand JXt this: time *of the
year. Bottling plants and , laundries
were at a standstill today'-mut it is
hoped to begin * supplying then*’ with
water on Monday. - - n-'-, ; ■ ■■
Members of the Buncombe county
medical, society held a special meet
ing today at which the water si! line
tioh- was- gone The mumberstip
approved a statement signed by Dr. I
D, E. Sevier, city health officer, and
Dr. IV. L. Dunn, both members of
the city water supply advisory com
mittee, appointed Friday by the city
commissioners. The statement said
that “it. is believed that by the thor
ough Alteration and chlorination of
the water being%)umped into the city
from outside sources everything hum
anly possible is being done to safe
guard the public health. Chlorination
is''n well known and well recognized
nfritmd of- rendering public water
supplies safe for human consumption
and is almost universally used for
that purpose.
“This is an emergency measure
taken on -the advice of the engineer of
the state board of health and al
though we believe that the water be
ing furnished is safe the public is
advised to take the additional pre
caution of boiling all water used for
diinking and cooking purposes until
farther tests have demonstrated this
beyond a reasonable doubt”
Mayor John H- Cathey, in a state
ment issued this afternoon says that
the statement issued by the two doc
tors may cause needless alarm. “I
desire to say,” ,the mayor stated,
"that the connecting of Beaver lake
with the city water system was urged
by H. E. Miller, civil engineer,
representing the state board of
health, when he was here about three
weeks ago. There is every reason to
believe that the water now used in
tl e city is free from contamination
and suitable for use. The water from
Beaver lake is being (filtered and
chlorinated. The water used in Ashe
