In a message to congress in
the early part of last session
President Roosevelt said: In.
stances of abuse in the granting
of injunctions in labor disputes
continue to occur" Yet, at the
Chicago convention there was
an overwhelming vote in opposi.
ton to putting a plank in the
platform doing away with the
evil features of !njunctions. Mr..
Taft will hardly follow the pres
ident in his speech of acceptance
in calling attention to the fact
that these abuses occur. Mr..
Taft is on record as a federal
judge on ''injunctions" and will
have to stand or fall by his ju.
dicial holdings when it comes to
the test.

Sherman State Normal.

We the people of the town of
Sherman desire to make known
to those in attendance at this
Normal, what a great pleasure it
has been to us to have these
worthy and noble young ladies
and gentlemen with us.
They have striven earnestly tc
make the best preparation pos
sible for their great work in life
and we are glad to have them in
our homes and among us.
They give us an inspiration
for the higher and better things
in life.
They raise our moral and re-
ligious standing. They elevate
US both Intellectually and soci-
ally.
They encourage our children
and show them that in order to
meet competition and attain the
more lucrative position in any
line of business we must study
we must toll toll upward in the
right.
AS to the instructors we are
proud to know they have held
one of the best and most success
full Normals in the state.
Through their untiring efforts
the young teachers have achiev-
ed great things. The instructors
found they had no place in their
curriculum for the Campus
Course hence it has been left
out. We now extend to every
one a hearty welcome to return
next summer. We also appre-
ciate the compliment as we'll as
the wisdom of the County Super
intendents for selecting our lit
tie town for a permanent Nor
NAL.
Most respectfully submitted by
the Mayor and board of Alder
men in behalf of the citizens of
the Town and vicinity.

BRIDGE WRECKED
BY DYNAM|TERS;
TRAIN IN DANGER
Perth Amboy Structure Blown
Up-LabOr Men Under
Suspicion.
THREATS WERE MADE
DURING STEEL STRIKE
No One on Train Injured, Though
1t Nearly Left the
Rails.

PERTH AAIBOY, March 25.--Dyna-
miters wrecked the splendid new $1,000,-
900 two track steel bridge of the New
York and Long Branch division of the
Central Railroad across the Raritan
late last night.
The explosion occurred just before
midnight, when a heavily loaded ex-
press train on the Central was speeding
toward New York on the wooden struc-
ture close beside the new bridge now
used by the railroad. The flying train
was nearing the south end of the old
bridge when the blast set it and the
wooden piles of the trestle rocking like
a ship in storm. The frightened pas
sengers thought that an earthquake was
the cause of their terrifying experience.
Fortunately, the train kept to the rails
and no one was injured.
The wreclSing of the bridge is be-
lieved to have been executed by dyna-
miters who held a grievance against
the Pennsylvania Steel Company of
Philadelphia, for their employment OF
non-union labor following a strike on
the bridge last fall.
Charles Webb, night watchman on
the new bridge, was standing in the
cabin of a dredger beside the structure
when the blast was set off. He was
hurled to the floor by the terrific shock.
He made an immediate investigation.
and found that the north end of the
new bridge beyond the stone abutment
had been riven apart as il II had been
lxindling wood. The blast had curled
The great steel beams into fantastic
loop and big gap separated the north
end of the bridge from its sister spans.
Webb at once took a rowboat and
walked along the tracks of the old
bridge with his lantern. to see whether
any flying pieces of steel had fallen on
the tracks

Assembly passed the public utilities bill
late last night without a dissenting
vote, after working all day on it, The
Senate also had whole-day fight on
the measure, but adjourned at O'Clock

The bill is counterpart of the
Hughes law in New York. 1t gives
the commission power to make rates.
by taking under control water, gas,
electric light, heat and power compa-
niles, as well as telegraph and telephone
companies, the measure goes further
than the New York measure.
The act calls for a commission of
five members. at a salary of $1,000. to
be appointed by the Governor.

WASHINGTON, March 25.--A special
In both Houses of Congress soon after
convening today, and in both 1t was
closely followed. In the House the
declaration that the time had come
for a revision of the tariff elected hand
clapping on the part of Democratic
members. Democratic approval also
was given by way of pounding desks
to the suggestion that Congress could
with advantage forthwith remove the
tariff on wood pulp. with a correspond
ing reduction upon paper made from
wood pulp.
The Republicans waited and confined
the applause to the message as a whole.
In the Senate 1t was received without
comment of any kind. The message
reads:
"Chi1d labor should be prohibited
throughout the nation. Al least "A
model chiId-Inbor bill should be passed
for the District of Columbia. 1t Is un-
fortunate that in the one place solely
dependent upon Congress for it's IeGis-
lation there should be no law whatever
to protect children by forbiddinE or
regulating their labor.
"I renew my recommendation for the
immediate reenactment of an employ
ers' liability law. drawn to conform to
the recent decision OF the Supreme
Court. In addition to a liability law
protecting the employees of common
carriers, the government should show
its good faith by enacting a further
law giving compensation to its own enl-
ployees for injury or death incurred in
its service.
InJunctiOns and Strikes.
~ also urge that action be taken
along the line of the recommendations

functions in labor disputes. No tempo
rary restraining order should be issued
by any court without notice; and the
petition for a permanent injunction
upon which such temporary restrain
ing order has been issued should be
heard by the court issuing the same
within a reasonable time-say, not to
exceed week or thereabouts from the
date when the order was issued. 1t is

II again call attention TO the urgent
need of amending the interstate conf
