STRIKERS HINT AT OPERATION OF NEW PLANT

; Intermediary Committee in Statement Promises Good Prooosition Hinzinz on Mortgage Suits. ( The filing of two raits to collect ; notes for 9220 itnd $221.09 and foreclose chattel mortgages on the ma t chlnery of the Sanitary Laundry has affected the strike of the union employes of the Richmond Union Laun- . dry. The outcome of these suits In connection with the plans being made by the Intermediary committee of tne Central Labor body Is very much In doubt and has created considerable speculation. The suits from which service has teen given, thereby discontinuing the operation of the machinery of the Richmond Sanitary Laundry were filed a few days ago by Attorney Hoelscher, acting for Horace B. Wig gins, plaintiff. The defendants are John C. Smyser, Oliver A. Ruby, Frank B. Medearis, Charles Hetsel, J. Crant Fry and Kate McClellan. Suits Change Situation. The suits may result In a change of management, a member of the Inter mediary committee said today and Intimation was given In the statement made public that the status of the strike will be effected through the outcome of these proceedings. Several of the strikers have been employed by the Sanitary Laundry and others established an agency at : No. 8 North Sixth street which is re- ' ported to be busy with the laundry i business of union sympathizers. The I latter laundry has been managed by ! the committee acting for the union ' laundry workers. The statement of the intermediary committeeman follows: At this time the committee is con ! vlnced that the public has been im posed upon for several years by over ! managed local plants. Too many manI agers and mortgages and debts have been detrimental to first class service ! In many ways. Plants not large enough to support so many managers In the capacity of overseers. A change in this system would enable the Union Laundry to meet demands of Union and save $8.00 to $16.00 on present pay roll per week. Present plans of Laundry Union committee which will be announced soon will secure better service for the public at reasonable prices and will stive the workers better pay for a shorter day's work. Our proposition will be one that the people cannot afford to pass up from a financial point of view and the ouallty of the work wiil be as good as the best that the most efficient help procurable can product under fair working conditions. It is up to the people to demand the right kind of service and co-oper ate with us in bringing about a long needed reform in laundry plant man agement in this community. It is said we have no right to die tate to men concerning the methods of running their business, but when that method becomes a menace to the health and happiness of their em ployes and a source of dissatisfaction to the public in general, we maintain it to be the right of any citizen and the duty of all fair minded patrons to demand an equitable adjustment of the difficulty regardless of the cause. It is now in the interest of public welfare that we all work together for the elimination of inferior laundry service. The committee is completing its plans and they are willing to back them up if the public really wants bet ter services. THAW IS IRRATIONAL CLAIM CANADIANS NEW YORK. July 2. The state today produced its first witness in the Harry K. Thaw sanity trial to prove that the slayer of Sanford White is insane and should be returned to Mattewan. Policeman Frank McFadden of Cotlcook, Quebec, and Inspector H. Glroux who became involved in the Thaw case when Thaw escaped in 1913 and fled into Canada, both testifying that they believe Thaw irrational. They told of Thaw's throwing a beer bottle through a window of the Coticook jail and of other outbreaks. Giroux said he conslderes Thaw a "dangerous man." On cross examination, however, the police inspector had to admit that all of Cotlcook was excited on the day Thaw was deported. A great maBS of documentary evidence relative to Thaw's efforts to gain his freedom by habeas corpus was introduced. Lager bers, despite popular notions, contain 3 to 4 percent acohol.

provide oir.::.:Rs OR EXPECT ARREST Chief of Police Stops Warnings and Orders Officers to Act -, Two warnings hare been given automobile and motorcycle drivers by the the police to provide dimmers for headlights on their machines, In compliance with the provisions of an ordinance recently passed, but there are still some machine owners who have failed to heed these warnings. For such drivers large gobs of trouble await them this evening. Chief Ooodwln announced today. "Officers will be Instructed to give no more warnings bat promptly to arrest the driver of any automobile operating on the streets of the city this evening without dimmers for the headlights of his machine," Chief Goodwin said. A large number of automobile owners have been urging the police to enforce vigorously the use of headlight dimmers. They say It la unsafe to operate cars In the busier sections of the city If machines are permitted to run about with glaring headlights sweeping into the faces of drivers operating their cars In opposite directions.

DAN CUPID ENTICES PRETTY OPERATORS FROM SWITCH BOARD Richmond Telephone Employes Attend Convention Manager Bailey Will Entertain Sessions in August. "The greatest enemy of good telephone service, the hardest thing we have to combat is Cupid," declares W. S. Vivian, of Chicago, secretary of the Independent Telephone Association of America, who conducted a two days school for operators in Dayton. The school was attended by Miss Stella McGreevy, chief operator of the Rich mond Telephone company and long distance operators Miss Ruth Ed wards, Miss Katherine Rileyand Miss Pearl Culley. "As soon as we break in an efficient telephone operator," continued Vivian in explanation of his assertion, "it hap pens that in 99 cases out of a hundred, some young follow comes along and marries her away from us. I have known services to become completely demoralized through an epidemic of marriages. Her Qualities. "The reasons? Why they are because an efficient telephone operator has demonstrated her fitness for all that is desirable in a wife. She has proved herself patient, accurate, industrious and resourceful." Approximately 150 operators in Ohio attended the school which serves directly to increase the efficiency of tLe character of the general telephone service. Long distance operators only, attended the Dayton school. William Bailey, general manager of the Richmond Telephone Co., said today that in August, the school would be conducted in Richmond and operators from this section of the state will attend. Mr. Vivian, who conducts the school will be here to give instructions. He entered the telephone service as an operator but gradually promoted himself to his present position. Mr. Bailey says he has no superior in his particular occupation of arousing enthusiasm and interest of the operators to bring about a betterment in the service. As auto rides, vaudeville shows and other diversion were included in the program arranged for the Dayton school it is probable that Mr. Bailey will arrange some form of entertainment for the operators when they meet In this city.

Richmond's first asphalt street will be completed about August 1. In a few days the asphalt plant will arrive in Richmond, and the work of preparing the asphalt for laying will be done. The plant is moved on its own wheels, is about one hundred feet long and holds immense kettles in which asphalt, mixed with ingredients of sand, oil and other preparations is heated to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. When laid, the asphalt is between 220 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit. The plant requires a force of thirty men to operate it. No similar machine has ever been operated in Richmond.
