MORE VIOLENCE IN RAIL STRIKE Chicago, Aug. 18. --Shootings, bomb-- Ings and burnings were high lights in the nation's railway crisis during the last 24 hours. Shootings, Bombings and Burn-- ings Reported From Vari-- ous Cities. Explosives Huried at Santa Fe Train at San Bernardino--Brakeman Shot to Death by Guard at Havre, Mont. Stranded Santa Fe trains were moved out of Albuquerque, N. M., and trainmen at Prescott, Ariz., notified Banta Fe officials that strikers would return to work. These moves followed eartier developments toward ending the tieup on the Santa Fe. The Union Pacifit's traffic knot unraveled rapidiy after truinmen on the Las Vegas divi-- sion ealled off their strike. Other west-- ern romds restored transportation ac-- tivities, which had been in effect, since the shopmen's strike began July 1. Tentative Agreements Made. Tentative agreements looking to-- ward an end to the trainmen's strike on the Cumberland valley division of the Louisville and Nashville were an-- uounced at Corbin, Ey. Settlement of the trouble with the trainmen resulted in an immediate movement eastward of fruit ship-- ments and other perishable freight marooned in California. With the train service strike break-- ing up in other sections of the coun-- try, trainmen who interrupted traffic on the Missouri Pacific at Van Buren, Ark., refused to return to work while guards remained on duty in the yards. Only trains which were made up and delivered to crews outside the rail-- road yards were moved. killed at Havre, Mont., by a railroad goard."

Construction _ will be started shortly on the first unit, to consist of a 20,000 kilowatt turbine, a condenser and three 1,430 horse-- power boilers Curren from the new plant will be turned into the mains within a year, officials of the company said today. They fix-- ed the date for the opening of the plant as August 1, 1923. The plant is located at the old1 Morrow * sandsucker east of the Griess--Pfleger tannery, on the hke! shore. Water for the boilers will | be drawn from the deep pond there | but intakes will be run out into the | lake as well The depth of the pond, which has been excavated to about 25 or 30 feet, makes it pos-- | wible to transform it into a mag-- niflcent harbor basin. It is several hundred yards long and more than 200 wide. The whole tract has an area of 80 acres. The plant has been made neces-- sary by the rapid expansion of the Waukegan industrial district. With the abuncant power which the plant will furnish, the Chamber of Com-- merce is preparing to answer a multitude of quemes from manufac-- turing concerns which will be at-- tracted here by the facilities for electric power. The company will keep its pres-- ent plant at the foot of Water street in operation as it anticipates that the demand for power here will make the operation of both pos-- sible. Right of way for a high power line from Waukegan west to the Green Bay road has already beei. secured. and the nower from here will eventually be wired as fur! south as Chicago.
