In other words, It wm a two-hour atrlke, with an elapee of' twenty-four hours between; the same, only different Juat why the employes of the Ohio "Engineering company, who are paving Milan avenue, went out on a atrlke la not exactly known, aa there are two possibilities, the one being that it la stylish and the other, "more money." It ia reported that when the man went out on a atrlke they adapted the following etogan, "Btrlkee to tha right of ua, strikes to tha left of us, ee we atrlke, to*," and eo thcy,eti*uok, etrlked or stricken, whichever way you might conjugate'the verb "To strike." Whan the men went to work Monday morning they asked the foreman for forty cents per hour, which was a raise of Bye cents. The foreman said that he had no authority ty raise or lower their pay and ao the men eat down and struck, striked or etrleken. One hour later, in order not to* make a big delay, the foreman aaid that he would do the best he oould to get them the flve-eent raise and the men went back to work. Throughout the remainder of the day the strikers made little threats and on the whale the day was uneventful, Mva for a few remarks on their victory. Tueaday morning the crisis came, whan It wm announced that It would be impossible to give them a flve-eent rale*. "All right, we quit," and about half of the crew walked out and the remainder stayed. Hold your Mate, as this Is the critical moment. It Is reported that the men who stayed received their forty cento per hour and the others received notice that they could come back for the old p«y- The faithful employes of the Ohio Engineering company kept right on working and are still working aa happily as ever. It waa alM noticed that yeeterday morning, twenty-four houra after tha atrlke, that some, If not all, tha strikers were back on the Job and working with the same eagerness and perseverance ae If nothing had ever happened. So, three cheersl the strike le over and If they have cement every day and don't atrlke for forty-five cento an hour, Milan avenue will be paved before Chrletmaa. IN ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER RATE EXPECTED FK WEEPS PHI II Sill! FM BUBS RUMORS AFLOAT THAT THE FIRE WILL SPOIL LAUGE EXHIBITION —STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE ASSURES NO ELIMINATION IN BIG PROGRAM Early in the morning of August 4th Are swept ihe Administrative group of buildings on Ih* Ohio State fairgrounds at Columbus. As u result, various reports, as lurid as the Humes IhcRtselVM, were broade listed to every corner of the state and to adjoining states. To forestall condolences and quiet uppri'hi-nslon on the part of prospective exhibitors und patrons, the Department of Agriculture desires to muke the following official statement: 'The loss by fire of the administrative group of buildings on the fairgrounds will affect ln no reaped the high standard of the exposition scheduled August 28 to September 2. It should be remembered that the only exhibits rendered homeless are those In the Horticulture. Agriculture, Manufacturers and ColumbuB buildings. Part ol these displays will be removed to the Woman's building, which was iiutoiie he'd while the remainder will be covered by a mammoth circus tent. These will be slightly Inconvenienced but NOT huudicapped. Live, stuck accommodations, heavy machinery space, tbe Coliseum, the grandstand, in fact, all the most important departments and buildings were not damaged. We are positively going to stage tbe most'Imposing fair In history. COUNCIL TO CHANGE TRAFFIC REGULATIONS CLEVELAND AVENUE-CHURCH BT. INTERSECTION TO BE MAOE SAFER—PARKING SPACES TO BE LAID OUT At the meeting of the village council Tuesduy evening it was decided to make u change ln the trafllc regulation at the Cleveland avenue-Church street Intersection. It was suggested to paint white lines In the center of both streets, by which the drivers of motor vehicles are to abide. It was also suggested to paint off sections, In the business district, for the parking of machines, and marshal to have the work done In Tbe council appointed the mayor the most advisable way. W. C. T. U. HOLD8 OUTING The W. C. T. U. held an outing at Beaver Park this afternoon. The trip was made by autos and an enjoyable time was held by all. ST. PAUL'S 80CIETY MEET8 The Ladles' Aid Society ot St. Paul's Lutheran church was entertained this afternoon. A large number of ladles were In attendance. 8UNDAY 8CHOOL PICNIC YESTERDAY The Amherst district Sunduy school picnic was held at Linwood Park, Vermilion, yesterday. A large number were iu attendance from here. OHIO PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY PRESENTS NEW SCHEDULE OF LIGHT AND POWER RATING WHICH WILL OO INTO EFFECT OCT. 1 Owing to the fart that the Ohio Public Service com*pany is making a new rating for its customers and also that the contract between the village of Amherst and the Oblo Public Service company expires October 1, the electric light and power coneumers la Amherst will expect a raise In light and power rates which will go Into effect when the old contract expires, acceord- Ing to a lengthy discussion at the council meeting Tuesday night. .1 II. Johnson, general manager of the Ohio Public Service company, was present ut the meeting and announced that they had made out a new schedule by which they would sell electrtc current to their various customers oa nn entirely new basis, , The bulk of Mr. Johnson's explanation centers about a fifty per cent iMi'l i raise in rates to the Amherst village, which will undoubtedly effect the rate to the public. The Ohio Public Service company now sells power to tbe village for two cents (2c) per kilowat and under th* new rating the approximate cost to tbe village will be three centa <3c) per kilowat, or In other words, a fifty per cent raise. On the other hand, the village sells power to the public for six cents (6c) per kilowat, and If the raise noes Into effect, according to the raise to the village, the public will be charged nine cents (9c) per kilowat. The above figures are only eatl- mutes and can not be relied upon because of their uncertainty. The reason for the Ohio Public Berv- ice company raising ahe rates were fully explained by Mr. John-sou. Ha staled that when the present rate weat into effect they were paying labor*** 20c per hour, engineers 34c per hour, nnd less than $1.0*0 per ton for coed. Now the company Is paying 45c per hour for laborers, 75 to 80c par hour for engineers and as high as $10 per1 ton for coal. It can readily be eeen that the Oelo' Public Service Is paying more for the operation of their business now than when the present rate went into effect, and they justify their new proposed rate from that standpoint. The Amherst board of public service, Mayor J. J. Smythe. and two expert electrical engineers from the Ohio Public Service company will meet at the town hall Tuesday night. ut which time the rate for power and lights to the public will be decided. Severul members of the council expresses their opinion on the subject, stating that they hoped to set a ratine which would not put an extra heavy burden on the consumers in Amherst and they will extend every effort to muke the rate fair to all. BUILDING NEW HOME Herman Kuss has made arrangements for a new home which will be on Harrla street. The excavation has started and a flveroo.n buugajow will be erected. Mr. and Mrs. A. Q. Mens and son Francis returned home Monday evening froni a two weeks' motor trip through Pennsylvania uud Virginia.

Anderson of Toledo. Mrs. R. L. Petty spent Monday afternoon in Klyria with friends. Mrs. Herman Kuss In visiting with relatives ai Qeueva, o , for the week. THE WEEK WITH THE COUNCIL Mrs. Wm. Colburn waa present at thu meeting uf the council Tuesday night, asking them to establish a grade tor. a sidewalk ou the north aide of Mlluu avenue from her property, easterly tu "Jain street. The matter of laying a sidewalk between the two above-mentioned,points cun be decided only by an agreement made by a precedlug council and the person who formerly owned the property between ihe Colburn property and the Asheubach property. The council decided to establish a grade ou the north side ot the street uud in the meantime endeavor to find the old agreement. Mr. Leinke of Milan avenue was present ut the meeting regarding the ravine which runs through his property. According to an agreement between Mr. Lemke aud the council, all dirt obtained by excavating from a point 1,000 foot westerly and likewise easterly from his property was to be hauled into the ravine. Mr. Lemke now states, and It la a known fuct, that this agreement baa not been fulfilled as the contractor failed to haul in the dirt made by excavation from the 1,000 feet In both directions. The council decided to haul all surplus dirt left In the atreet and outside of the curb into the ravine when the paving was completed. The clerk read the bills, which the council passed upon the first reading, and Instructed him to prepare the pay ordinance. > I I * Look for the Missing Words • a on pagi 5. • r Head the News-Times want ads.

OHIO PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY PRESENTS NEW SCHEDULE OF LIGHT AND POWER RATING WHICH WILL OO INTO EFFECT OCT. 1 Owing to the fart that the Ohio Public Service com*pany is making a new rating for its customers and also that the contract between the village of Amherst and the Oblo Public Service company expires October 1, the electric light and power coneumers la Amherst will expect a raise In light and power rates which will go Into effect when the old contract expires, acceord- Ing to a lengthy discussion at the council meeting Tuesday night. .1 II. Johnson, general manager of the Ohio Public Service company, was present ut the meeting and announced that they had made out a new schedule by which they would sell electrtc current to their various customers oa nn entirely new basis, , The bulk of Mr. Johnson's explanation centers about a fifty per cent iMi'l i raise in rates to the Amherst village, which will undoubtedly effect the rate to the public. The Ohio Public Service company now sells power to tbe village for two cents (2c) per kilowat and under th* new rating the approximate cost to tbe village will be three centa <3c) per kilowat, or In other words, a fifty per cent raise. On the other hand, the village sells power to the public for six cents (6c) per kilowat, and If the raise noes Into effect, according to the raise to the village, the public will be charged nine cents (9c) per kilowat. The above figures are only eatl- mutes and can not be relied upon because of their uncertainty. The reason for the Ohio Public Berv- ice company raising ahe rates were fully explained by Mr. John-sou. Ha staled that when the present rate weat into effect they were paying labor*** 20c per hour, engineers 34c per hour, nnd less than $1.0*0 per ton for coed. Now the company Is paying 45c per hour for laborers, 75 to 80c par hour for engineers and as high as $10 per1 ton for coal. It can readily be eeen that the Oelo' Public Service Is paying more for the operation of their business now than when the present rate went into effect, and they justify their new proposed rate from that standpoint. The Amherst board of public service, Mayor J. J. Smythe. and two expert electrical engineers from the Ohio Public Service company will meet at the town hall Tuesday night. ut which time the rate for power and lights to the public will be decided. Severul members of the council expresses their opinion on the subject, stating that they hoped to set a ratine which would not put an extra heavy burden on the consumers in Amherst and they will extend every effort to muke the rate fair to all.

Colburn waa present at thu meeting uf the council Tuesday night, asking them to establish a grade tor. a sidewalk ou the north aide of Mlluu avenue from her property, easterly tu "Jain street. The matter of laying a sidewalk between the two above-mentioned,points cun be decided only by an agreement made by a precedlug council and the person who formerly owned the property between ihe Colburn property and the Asheubach property. The council decided to establish a grade ou the north side ot the street uud in the meantime endeavor to find the old agreement. Mr. Leinke of Milan avenue was present ut the meeting regarding the ravine which runs through his property. According to an agreement between Mr. Lemke aud the council, all dirt obtained by excavating from a point 1,000 foot westerly and likewise easterly from his property was to be hauled into the ravine.
