TO MEET
BOSSES.
Building Trades Council Has
Named a Committee Of Four
teen Men to Act for Them.

Great hopes are now held out by
the contractors and mechanics of this
city that within a few days the trou-
BILE between the boss and journeymen
carpenters will be settled, for at the
meeting of the Building Trades Coun-
Gil, in the union rooms, last night. a
committee of two men from each
trade was appointed to meet like
committee of the Building Trades AS
sociation in the union rooms tomor-
row night.
A meeting of the building trades
association is to be held tonight in
the rooms in the Dana building and
the committee will then be appoint
ed to act with the union men. Both
committees will consist of fourteen
men. They will talk over the trouble
between the boss and journeymen
carpenters, and it is possible that
some sort of an agreement may be
reached so that work can be resumed.
1t is just month ago today that
the carpenters went out on strike.
They wanted forty-two cents an hour
and the bosses were willing to give
them but forty-one cents.

OLD DOCUMENT
IN CITY VAULT.
Petition Presented by the Citi-
zenS of This City to State
Legislature in 1929.

An old document was noticed in
the vault at city hall yesterday after
noon by city official who was look
ing for another official paper. The
ancient document was petition pre-
sented in 1929 by number of citi-
zens of this city to the New Jersey
legislature asking that the people of
this city be allowed to elect their
mayor, recorder and couneilmen. in
stead of having those officials ap-
pointed, as had been done prior to
that time. The petition bore about
fifty signatures. 1t was composed of
two sheets of paper pasted together,
the bottom sheet containing sigma
lures. The petition is is an excellent
state of preservation except that the
ink has grown brown with age. The
petition, couched in flowery language,
is still perfectly legible. Many an
cestors of present Perth Amboyans
signed the petition.
