P. HOLM OPPOSES
GROWTHER'S MEASURE.

The following comment on Assem-
blyman C~rowther's bill appeared in
j. P. Holm's weekly:
THE endeavor on the part of the
Perth Amboy member of the Middle
sex county delegation in the assembly
to secure an additional appropriation
Of $4,000 a year t o the State Agri-
cultural College, to admit of q broad
ening of education in Ceramic indus
tries, is all very praiseworthy; but as
ar as effectiveness is concerned the
whole scheme falls short of being
applied in the most useful manner.
with the additional appropriation
lsked for the State Agricultural Col
eye, which is practically an appendix
o the Rutgers institution at New
Brunswick, there will be available
5000 yearly for investigation and
ducation in the clay and its products
which constitute such an important
>art in the business life of Perth
lmboy and it's immediate vicinity.
"Legitimately and logically this in
restigation should be conducted on
he scene of the industry. Here and
nearby the clay is mined, prepared
and manufactured, here are the pits
and plants, the men and their fami-
lies, and here in Perth Amboy should
be the school of Ceramics, so that
gorkmen and apprentices, and the
outh who will inevitably become
ceramic workers, can take advantage
If education in the branch of manu-
'acture which either is now, or oon
will be, the avocation of their lives.
1T is well enough to say that those
Who are. anxious for education will
,vercome any obstacle to acquire it;
tut there are those who cannot over
ONE the obstacles of time and dis
ance, and these constitute the ma
GRITTY. The appropriation is desir-
BILE, but it is equally desirable that
t should be made available to those
lpon whom it may confer the great
EST benefit and where it may Sbe most
judiciously expended"

Reported and Then Denied That
HirSChhOrn, Mach Co.'S. Factor
les Have Been Absorbed.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 3D.
The report often circulated and as
often contradicted, that the tobacco
trust was about to gobble up the fac
tories Of the Hirschorn, Mack Com
pany, in this city, Perth Amboy, and
other places, has been revived by
statements in the Herald and Times
early this week that the American
Tobacco company had acquired the
Hirschorn, Mack plants. The report
was contradicted next day by the rep
resentatives of both parties, but it
remains a persistent rumor, and 1t
is admitted that negotiations have
been made in a tentative way look
ing to on absorption OF the %independ-
ent factories ny the trust.
At the local factories today there
was no one to speak for the company.
A number of the employees have heard
that the ownership of the business has
altered and that sweeping changes
are to be made. One Of tAese changes,
it is stated, is to do away with the
piece system and to put all hands on
days wages, limiting the number OF
hours of work each day. Under the
present system overtime often doub-
les the wages of the skilled operators.
1t is believed that ultimately the
Hirschorn plants will be acquired by
the American Tobacco Company, for
while they are at present independ-
ent, they are not in II sense at war
with the trust, and it is stated that
terms will be arranged for consolida-
ton.

AsHuRY TO BE DRY.

ASBURY PARK, Feb. 23:-The
new excise board has one member
who is out tooth and nail against the
granting of licenses in Asbury Park.
He Is John H. Murray and he says he
was elected without any pledges and
he will not vote to give licenses to
the hotels. He holds that the city
was founded as a temperance resort,
and the granting of licenses to the
hotels Is merely a precursor of the
saloon and open bar.
The hotel men have mutually
agreed not to apply for licenses until
May or June. They do not feel like
paying out their license money until
there is a chance to do business.

80, 1907; and 10 Glendova Devo, of

Wrinkle has also been advised that
the pension bills to increase the pen
sions of Mrs. Carrie E. Cosgrove and
Mrs. Maria Cross, both of Jersey City,
have lately passed the senate, having
previously passed the house.
Senators Kean and Dryden have
received a petition from Franklin

men in favor of the item in the river

the senate on Wednesday evening
providing for the deepening of the
channel north of Shooters Island.
Postofice appointments are made
under different conditions than for
merly. In cases where the postmas-
ter has performed the duties of the
office satisfactorily the department is
disposed to continue the man in Of
fee even though he may have served
two terms. There Is a case of this
sort at Sea Bright, Monmouth county.
The people and the republican organ1-
zation have recommended p. Hall
Packer as postmaster, but the depart
ment seems disposed to retain the
present incumbent. In like name
the department is disposed to retair
the postmaster at Toms River, al
though the republican organization
has endorsed U. S. Grant for the
Place.
There will be a lot of disappoint
