NAME SUGGESTIONS STILL COMING IN

Mrs. S. F. Simonds, of 410 Lincoln street, Richmond, suggests that a simple name with a dignified sound would be very appropriate and submits World Army Loyal Legion, or Wayne American Loyal Legion, as suitable names for the Wayne county post of the American Legion. Mrs. Simonds calls attention to the fact that the first letters in the four words of her suggestions spell W. A. L. L. or "Wall". W. A. L. L. which to her is suggestive of the "wall" that kept the "Huns" from our doors or the "wall" of men that surrounded the kaiser's legions and caused them to surrender. J. W. Hoey, of 602 North Eighteenth street, suggests: "The Wayne Patriotic Legion of the World's League of Patriotism and Democracy." Paul Battenburg, 101 South Ninth street suggests "Wayne County Legion of American Doughboys," and thinks that as this was the name the boys carried throughout the war, it ought to be commemorated in peace. J. T. Foster, of the Union Station, asks why the single word "Wayndiana" would not be appropriate.

Expect Early End to Pittsburgh Car Strike

(By Associated Press) PITTSBURGH, Aug. 16 Hopes that the strike of three thousand motormen and conductors of the Pittsburgh street railway company which has tied up transportation here Bince Thursday midnight would be settled within a few days were entertained, following a conference this morning between the receivers of the company, representatives of tbe strikers and Mayor E. V. Babcock. A settlement of the wage dispute by compromise was proposed. The compromise figure mentioned a nine cents an hour increase. The receivers have been firm in their stand of a six cents an hour increase, recently awarded the trolley men by the national war labor board while the

carmen stick to their original demand of 12 cents an hour. In case the strike Is not settled within a few days there is a possibility that the receivers may ignore the local division of the Amalgamated asassociation of street and electric railway employes. In a statement issued last night receivers asserted that collective bargaining with the division was a failure and that the only course open was to return to dealing with employes as individuals. Hope of the receivers for a settlement through the efforts of W. D. Mahon, international president of the

Carmen's association, was practically abandoned last night when word

came from Detroit that President

Mahon did not intend to come to Pittsburgh unless requested to do so

by the strikers. SUB CHASERS RACE.
