regarded as inevitable by union andSiompany officials alike it is expected that August 1 will see New Jersey's trolly system illy isralyzed' The company having rn rounced that it will not employ strike bit akers Although hope of arbitrating the wage question has been practically abandoned Mayor Breidenbach will make a last minute effort to prevent the strike vote is right for youngmen to form tho time for vision This young man's dream was religious and patriotic and also practical Sometimes in our lives voices and impulses which interrupt us are those of angels but not always Samaritans and opponents of Jesus used every means to hinder the building of the walls when Nehemiah was sent to complete the rebuilding But in this case it was God who interposed be tween the voung man and the achieve ment of his plan Young men arke eften too impatient when their pans are interfered with "Why did God want this youth to cease his commendable activity Be cause good as his scheme was it was not the Divine plan Had the walls been erected here he would have put them the city would have been far too small God's thought for Jeru salem was much greater and grander than this young man's conception Any design which left God out was worse than useless It would be a positive hindrance to the people ot God Seek Inspiration "Dream but let God inspire your dreams Make him the center of all your plans When hindered in carry ing out your schemes and in making your visions concrete make sure whether the obstruction has been placed in your way by God If not see in it a challenge to braver effort but if it is God who hinders look to the Lord to reveal to you his nobler wider grander plan and fall in with it call of patriotism and of the need of a ruined orld for reconstruc tive work must make an irresistible It is tnen or that you new hile eign demand is limited and trade con ditions are such that domestic mills aic moving slowly The government crop report is due August 1 The trade expects a condition of 70 per cent as against 699 last month and an in dicated cropof 11800000 as com rared with the June estimate of 11 412000 Oil Situation Uneasy The oil situation is causing some worry although each week should bring nearer the time when flush pro duction in California the upsetting factor will decline appreciably Out put however continues to keep ahead of consumption Under these circum stances it is easy to see why the price tendency is downward This is the time ot peak consumption ot gasoline but stocks are so htgn that it is be lieved many of the smaller com panies will have difficulty in carrying inventories into another season After alf however the price cuts indicate no decrease in demand which is really increasing but rather unprecedented production Money shows no tendency of tight ening such as it would do if the credit position were becoming strained The weekly statement of the reserve sys tem shows that member banks in the agricultural district have been able to finance the crop movement so far without aid This encourages ftte be lief held in some quarters that so long as money rates are comparatively easy nothing very alarming is in the immediate path of business tion The project of a railroad which Engineer Joseph O'Brien and six business men of this city asked the board of aidermen to Investigate in a petition mailed Saturday is a private enterprise that should be taken up with the 'railroad by those interested Mayor Edwin Leonard said last night The mayor had not received a copy of the petition' and it ould not

sought the removal of the railroad arches across ulton Main North and Chestnut streets One aiderman last night said that (he letter mailed to tne which he had read about in the news papers but had not then received was essentially a repetition of a plan urged upon the board a year ago He indicated that the board had not taken the plan very seriously The O'Brien petition requests that a engineering commis sion" determine the facts relative to the new Union station its track con nections and passenger approaches and to consider the removal of the railroad barrier through tne neart the city INDIAN
