TWO THE WAUKEGAN NEWS-SUN TUESDAY, 'AUGUST 23, 1932. Declare Truce Among Miners And Strikers At Benton HOLD MEETING TO HALT RIOT AND BLOODSHED Peace Negotiations Planned For Entire Mining District; Hope To Settle Trouble Without Fights. BENTON, Aug. flag of truce has been raised in the Franklin county coal fields today in an effort to prevent further bloodshed over the operation of mines under the new $5 contract. Attempts to settle the trouble by substitution of peaceful negotiations for firearms were undertaken at a parley last night at Zeigler attended by county officers, officials of the United Mine Workers of America and representatives of the miners.

The peace parley was held after one miner had been killed by shotgun fire and six others wounded in clashes yesterday. spread, of fields the of truce the state movement also was to undertaken by leaders of the striking from their headquarters at Gillespie, in the central part of the state, when they announced they would send committee to Governor Emmerson today with a request that he petition operators to close their mines temporarily. With the mines idle and pickets withdrawn, the strike leaders hoped a peaceful solution of the controversy could be reached. Although county officers joined in the peace parley to prevent further bloodshed in Franklin county, they still had at their call approximately 300 special deputies who were commissioned to aid in keeping the mines open and to repel a threatened invasion of striking miners from central Illinois, The invasion had been scheduled to get under way tomorrow. The strike leaders threatening to send about 25,000 men into Franklin county picket mines.

This threat was answered by county officials with a statement that the invading miners would be met with a force fully as large. A temporary "armistice" in the hostilities at Zeigler, where the one miner was killed yesterday and six others wounded, was agreed upon at the parley held there last night. Under the terms of the truce, no pickets were to be stationed at the Two Bell and Zoller mines, and the mines were to remain idle pending a meeting of all the miners today in an attempt to reach terms for a permanent settlement of their dispute over acceptance or rejection of work under the new wage contract. Miners milled about the streets of mining towns in this section last night, but there was no further violence. Approximately 500 men gathered (outside the Zeigler city hall while the truce parley was being held, but they were orderly, State highway patrolmen, ordered to Franklin county from other places In the state when the situation besame threatening, still guarded the highways.

PASS ORDINANCE ON CITY I WATER Council Approves System By Which It Is Hoped To Clear Up Delinquencies. The city council last night passed an ordinance regulating installation of water meters and the control of consumers in an attempt to fix responsibility for payment of water bills and to prohibit the further accumulation of delinquent water bills. Passage of the ordinance by the aldermen follows adoption of resolution embodying the same features by the Waukegan water board several weeks ago. The action to eliminate additional piling up of delinquent accounts developed when examinations showed that the present outstanding bills aggregate about $52,000. Enforcement of the ordinance will provide that all future applicants for water service in Waukegan must fill out a detailed questionnaire designating who shall be responsible for payment of bills.

In all cases there must be an express promise to pay bills from time to time. In addition, in some cases it will be necessary to post a cash deposit for water service which may be drawn against in the event of nonpayment for service rendered.

State's Attorney A. V. Smith and Chief Deputy Thomas E.

Kennedy this afternoon renewed their grilling of witnesses in the murder of Peter Meyers, 40, Fox Lake "handy man," to found slain Saturday night. James Clark, 45, described by officials as a "roustabout living under his hat," still remained a prisoner in the county jail, "We have the right man. His story has changed, and his accounting for his whereabouts during the night and morning of the shooting are vague," Col. Smith said. Clark said that his 22 calibre revolver was left by him in his cottage.

Although Kennedy sent his men out to hunt for the weapon they failed to find any trace of it. At the same time Coroner J. L. Taylor reported to Col. on Smith that it was his opinion that the two fatal! bullet wounds in Meyer's body were induced by a 22 calibre gun.

Clark has been questioned only 30 minutes since his arrest Sunday, and since that time he has been held in jail. AIRPORT PROJECT HOPE IS BLASTED (Continued From Page 1) of adjacent land. The last sales, he pointed out, brought $12,000 in some instances which would establish value. This, he reported to his superior officer, was an inflated value. The cost of adjacent property was taken up by Mackenzie, it is presumed, to show the government what it could expect to expend in the future in case wished to purchase more land for the field.

Mackenzie made a nine-point summary and in a 10 paragraph concluded his report to Blee as follows: "10. The conclusions resulting from these studies are as follows: (a) The use of the commercial airport at Waukegan as intermediate field is not looked upon because of the conditions "mentioned in this report. (b) The municipal airport Kenosha, apparently affords the most adaptable existing facilities in this vicinity for use as an intermedi-1 ate landing field. Although located slightly north of a mid point between Chicago municipal airport and the Milwaukee county airport, this disadvantage is believed offset by the number of airports located in general northerly direction of the Chicago airport it said in part.

The last of the much publicized Palatine, Lake Zurich Wauconda railway last night was erased from this world. Fire, of more or less unknown origin, was blamed for the loss.

One box-car, the last of the rolling stock IN the freight department, burned to its trucks, and the last coach and the only coach that carted passengers over the short railway, suffered the same fate. Included in the loss was the stockyards where cattle and hogs were, loaded and unloaded in the halcyon days of the line. Firemen Fight Blaze The volunteer fire department in Wauconda made an effort to preserve the relics of the railroad, but failed. They ran short of hose trying to fight it from one fire plug and did not want to draw a line across Rand road and hinder traffic. As the stockyards and two cars were removed the residential buildings of Wauconda, and in a place to do no harm, a crowd gathered but helped the firemen little.

The rolling stock of the railroad did well to last as long as it did because citizens of the village last winter tried to get a court order from the receiver of the road to destroy the eye-sores by giving the equipment to the needy for firewood. The attorney for the receiver, Paul MacGuffin, heeded the plea of the Wauconda citizenry but never acted, as the incident, his mind. -Way Sold The- rails long ago were junked, ties burned for kindling, and the right-of-way sold to the Cook county forest preserve. The road was in its heyday before the era of concrete pavement and automobiles. It was built and maintained by the farmers in that district so that they could get to Waukegan, Elgin, Aurora and Chicago with their livestock.

grain, general produce and do their personal shopping. The advent of hard roads and the trucks started the railroad operating at a loss, and finally train service was discontinued.

Three Chicago hitch-hiking youths, one of them an inexperienced traveler who fell asleep when he sat on a curb in Libertyville for a brief rest, were on their way back home today after a brief stay in the village jail.

The three are John Mikolaitis, 18, of 1621 West Fourteenth street; Bert Bronkema, 18, of 1927 West Thirteenth street; and Edward Yanchuk, 14,, of 1336 Paulina street. At 3:30 o'clock this morning Patrolman Peter Hansen found the youths seated on the curb at the intersection of Routes 176 and 21 in the village. Young Yanchuk, the youngest of the trio, hopped off from a truck, that arrived in Libertyville and soon sound asleep on the curb while his companions kept watch for another machine to carry them farther north. All three were taken to the village jail and given bunks for the remainder of the night. This morning they were questioned by Chief Frank Druba and all told corresponding stories.

They were headed for Union Grove, they declared, to the farm of a relative of Mikolaitis where they were to be employed. The two older youths had permission from home to make trip, according to the story, but the younger boy came in at the last minute as a third party without his parents' consent. Druba ordered the youths Chicago so they started hitch hiking south again this morning. were soaped the engine never made the grade, and sometimes rolled back a mile or so after its futile effort. Another handicap in this co-operative railroad was the snow in winter.

Edward Dunne, who served as engineer, fireman and conductor during the last year of the road's operation 1 in 1920, claims he still has two weeks' pay due him.

Next, Franklin reported, he was hit over the head and advised that he was being taken for a ride with gangsters.

Being opposed to such a course, Franklin who weighs about 125 pounds, slipped away from the three men and let them take their course. Feeling lonesome Tobin then left the speakeasy where he waited for sometime for his friends to return. He took his car and started through Lake Villa. He mistook, so the deputies reported, the width of the road and drove over to the side where he ironed out the mail boxes. The gendarmes in Lake Villa picked him up for that error.

So far there have been no arrests. although Franklin toid deputies he intended to swear out a warrant against Dougherty. LIBBY TAKES UP KNITTING CINCINNATI, Aug. 23.
