SUCCESS OF
Open SHOP.

Yesterdays NEWS gave a detailed
conversation with a member of the
carpenters union of this city, deny
ing that open shop existed in Perth
Amboy, and stating that nearly all
the contractors had given in and
were paying the forty-two cents an
hour. In reply to the above n of
the prominent bosses; 81 have not
made any concession to the unions
and don't intend to, and I don't know
why the union forces make such a
statement through the papers, unless
they think that a few may misunder
stand it and think all the others are
c%onceding to their demands, and thus
eventually win.
81 censure most strongly the stand
taken by the masons in refusing to
work on houses where n%on-union
men are employed when we have Off
cially declared open shop. We can
get all the men we want. probably
not in town, but we will import men
If necessary. l know a contractor
who now has in his employ two union
and three non-union men, and open
shop exists to a certainty"

AND HILLERY
PLAN FOR DEBATES.

Senator Thomas !. Hillery, of Nor
ris county, is to meet Senator Everett
Colby, of Essex county, in joint de-
bate upon the platform in Morris
county. This has been decided upon
by the two legislators. They met
yesterday afternoon and arranged for
meetings to be held In Morristown,
Dover, Madison and Boonton in Sep
tenber. when they will express their
views on the political situation and
leave the public to draw its own con-
illusions as to whether Morris coun-
ty was mi~srepresented in the last ses-
sion of the Legislature.
Although no word has been passed
between the two senators since Mr..
Hillery challenged Senator Colby, the
meeting yesterday is said to have
been cordial. Senator Hillery, it is
said, is much piqued " remarks
made by the Essex senator, but no
allusion was made to any criticism,
1t is said, when they We're in consul
tation oyer the fall meetings.

PASS TRAVELLING BILL,
McLaurin Said That Bryan Would
Be Next President.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The sen.
ate has passed the bill allowing $685.
600 a year for travelling expenses of
the president by a vote of AZ to 20.
During the discussion Senator Nc
Laurin took issue with those who con-
tend that provision should be made
to permit the president to take newspa.
per men with him in his travels, saying
that the people generally are not con
cerned about the private affairs of the
president.
He would admit that there might be
some toadies who would have curlosi-
ty as to what the president may eat or
drink, so that he doesn't drink intoXi-
eating liquors. There is, he declared,
no interest in the president simply be-
cause of his office, and the senator did
not believe that more people would
turn out to see him than would have
gone out to see Mr.. Gladstone or who
would &c to see A~guinaldo. He vas
sure that the vast majority of the peo-
pie regarded him as n human being
and care no more for the president
than for any other man of distinction.
He announced his confidence that the
present chief executive has not sought
this legislation, and, knowing him well,
he had confidence that If the PROPOSE
ton should be presented to him indie
pendently he was satisfied that he
would veto it. lie also dissented from
the view that the president should un-
dertake to mold public sentiment, for
If allowed to do that the country could
never have but m view on any sub-
iect. There was TO his mind no rea-
son why Mr.. Roosevelt should have his
expenses paid While travelling about
the country, nor would there be any
reason for such a curse when Mr..
Bryan, who. he announced in conf
dence would be the next president.

BRIDGE MAY EFFECT
BRUNSWICK'S TRADE
Opening of South AmbOy-Perth Am
boy Aqueduct Causes Some
Concern to the Gr0cers.

NEW BRUNSWICK, June ~
G%rocerymen are specializing more or
less anxiously upon the probable eff
fects upon the local market of the
opening of the South Amboy-Perth
Amboy bridge. The general conclu-
sion seems to be that the position
held by the city as a produce distrib-
uting centre is likely to be seriously
disturbed.
Not that New Brunswick is going
to suffer a famine, for there will al
ways be enough produce from nearby
farms to supply the city's needs, but
1t will probably cease to be a distrib-
uting point for towns in northern
New Jersey.
Now that a new market is opened
to the farmers south of the city, they
can drive across the bridge and reach
a town of equal size to this, and in
most cases closer to their farms.
They can also drive direct to Rah-
way and Elizabeth and Newark and
not have to sell their produce through
hucksters. The temptations of the
new market are sure to appeal to the
farmers, and theh chances are that
Perth Amboy will be flooded with
farm products this summer.
It is possible, local grocers say,
that prices will be a little higher here
this summer on account of the bridge
but this is a condition that can hard
ly be permanent. The daily throng
of farmers in town is sure to be cut
down. This will mean so many less
customers for local stores, but the
dry goods merchants believe the re-
lieving of the automobile pressure
will bring out many more country
shoppers who at present hesitate to
venture out with their horses. New
Brunswick merchants say they are
not afraid of Perth Amboy compete
ton drawing away this trade.

States s%enatorship, who is directly or

tons or trusts.
The very existence of most of these
corporate bodies has been not to rec
ognize the sovereignty of the people
in the making of laws, but to contrib
ute to campaign funds, to try to
thwart the will of the people by hav-
ing enacted laws, not conducive to
the peoples best interest, and on the
other hand to further special inter-
ests, which are injurious to the rights
and liberties of a free and independ-
ent people.
An honest appeal to the voters, adj
vocating such principles as have been
accepted in Essex county, and are be-
ing promulgated in MiddleseX county,
will arouse the patriotism and love of
justice in the hearts of good citizens,
to assert their rights of suffrage at
the polls next fall, which will mean
the overthrow of bossism and the des-
potic power of greedy corporations.

ARE HOT AFTER
STANDARD OIL
Government Purposes TO Prose
cute Giant Monopoly Grim
inaI Proceedings at Once.

WASHINGTON, June %. = Formal
announcement of the purpose of the
government to prosecute the Standard
Oil company has been made here by
Attorney General Moody.
1t appears from his statement that
the proceedings in the first instance
will be had under the terms of the
Elklns law. which prohibits rebates in
interstate commerce. The attorney
general, however, gives notice that in
all probability, should the investigation
he is still making justify it, he will
bring further action against the Stand
ard Oil company under the terms of
the Sherman antitrust law and also
will take steps to insure against the
continuance on the part of the compa-
ny of determinations in trade and
transportation not now subject to
prosecution under existing law, but es-
pecially provided against in the pend
ing rate bill.
Practically the entire session of a
cabinet meeting was devoted to a con-
sideration of proceedings to be begun
by the department of justice against
the Standard Oil company. 1t is well
understood that these proceedings have
been under consideration for some
time.
The attorney generals statement in
part follows:
after full consideration of all the
Information now available, including
the report of the commissioner of cor
porations and the evidence taken by /,
the interstate commerce commission. l
have reached the conclusion that Grim
inal proceedings against the Standard
Oil company should be begun in GER
tain cases where there appears to have
been II violation of the laws regulat-
ing interstate commerce and prohibit
ing rebates and other unlawful dis
ordinations. Accordingly, such pro
reedings will be begun at once in the
appropriate judicial districts.
Il shall continue the Investigation of
The affairs of the Standard Oil compa-
ny and of such complaints as have
been or may be brought to the atten-
ton of this department, with the view
