There is honor enough in you to obey
the law without the necessity of my en-
ploying detectives" N
In reply to a question as to the hour
they were expected 10 close at night, the
mayor informed the liquor dealers that
they would be guided by the city or
dinance which permits them to operate
their saloons until twelve o'clock at
night He would stand for twelve o'clock
until the council saw fit TO change the
closing hour. If it was the sense of the
meeting that twelve O'Clock be the hour
that would be satisfactory to him.
Another saloonman arose and said
that he would abide by the law and was
sure that all others would do likewise.

In answer to question as to what
policy the mayor will pursue during
carnivals-whether he would permit the
saloons to keep open after twelve o'clock,
Mayor Andrews stated that he could
not promise to violate the law. "lf it
is the law today to close, the presence
of carnival could not change the law.
The law must be violated during carni-
walls. If it is understood that the sa-
looms will close at twelve those who
patroniZe them will visit them before
that hour"
Mayor Andrews, in reply to another
inquiry, said that saloonmen had as
much right to enter their places of bus.

enter his own office ON that day. They
could 90 into their saloons to clean up,
scrub floors, etc, but for no 9th

if they took any advantage of this
privilege "The tenor of the meeting is

NOT ENOUGH BONUS
REASON FOR CONTRACTORS
DELAYING WORK.
KeaTny Council Considers Form of Con.
tracts-No Bids for Town
Bonds.

The failure OF contractors to complete
street improvements within r reasonable
time was brought up In the KearnY Town
Council by Councilman David w. Reid,
chairman of the street committee, at an
adjourned meeting last night. He made
the declaration that he believed such de-
lays were caused by the inequality of the
bonus and penalty embodied in past con-
tracts. To prove his contention he cited
the provisions of the Chestnut street con-
tract which required "a penalty of 500 a
day and a bonus of 81 per day.
II don't believe such a wide variance
between the two" he said, would stand
IN law. The terms of the last contract
made calls for $40 penalty and So bonus.
which l consider fair. In the future the
town surveyor will settle both when he
makes up his Anal estimate of the inn
provement TO which the contract applies"
Councilman Reid called special attention
70 the delay in the work on Chestnut
street, which was to have been done in
June last and expressed the opinion that
the contractor should he compelled to finish
he work without further delay.
Councilman John Davidson, jr., could not
understand why there should be any snch
delay on that t~horoughfare, when contrac-
tors on other work are able to finish their
work on time. The councilman asked Town
Attorney ]. Franklin Crowell, through
Mayor Goldberg: his opinion regarding fair
bonus and penalty. The attorney gave as
hsi opinion that the bonus should be about
half the penalty. File said further that the
courts are generally against enforcing pen
alties unless, they are placed on a fair
basis. The debate closed with the passage
of a resolutions ordering the clerk to notify
Contractor A. r. Sergeant that the Chest
nut street work must proceed more rapidly.
To the disappointment OF the Mayor and
Council, no legitimate bids were received
for the sale OF the $685.. 900 bonds made up
Of H60.000 for street improvements $751; eco
for public schools and 5000 for the fire
department. 9 New York concern offered
n bid. but as no certified check aceompa-
MED It, II was rejected. Councilman Dav-
idson thought that in a few days offers

locals may have.
Two hundred members of the locals met

charter of Local 422 was revoked, but the
international officers restored 1t. Several

Potter, Secretary Homer d. Call, and Cen
eral Organizer Dell Nichols. Henry +.
Hilfers, secretary Of the Essex Trades
Council, was also present. Philip Mihrkof,
secretary of Sausage Workers and Packing
House Employees Local 422, called the
meeting to order and 1t was suggested that
international President Potter act as
chairman, which was unanimously agreed
upon.
Messrs. Nichols and Call referred to the
history of the International union and the
great advantages 1t was to the workmen
In its ranks. They urged the repre-
sentatives of the three unions assembled
to bury all petty differences and stand on
grounds for the interests of all.
The discussion then took a local trend
the trouble in Fink & Sons Establish
ment was thoroughly threshed out by Mr..
and officers and members of the
three unions. They criticised what they
was the reputation by Fink &
Sons of. contract a representative of the
firm signed agreeing to employ only union
men in their plant and as drivers on their
wagon routes
Seven non-union drivers are now being
employed by Fink & Sons, it is said, and
the firm has refused to ask them to join
the ranks of urion labor.
