Department Is Called.
NEW ONE BEING BUILT

The "scrubber" at plant No. 2 of
the Perth Amboy Chemical Com
pany, In Mechanic street, caught fire
shortly before $40 O'Clock this
morning and was damaged consider
ably. The. night force fought the
blaze with two lines of hose and
might have extinguished it, in time,
without assistance. Someone, how
ever, seeing the smoke, pulled box
43 at Buckingham avenue and Hart
ford street and the city companies
responded.
In short time the firemen had
four streams on and, with the aid of
the factory department, had the
blaze out in little more than half
hour This morning it was stated
that the origin of the blaze was un-
known and that the damage would
not exceed $50.
The "scrubber" is frame tower
north of the cyanide building and is
used to remove visible vapors from
the air coming from the engine
room. Some time ago the scrubber
was partially destroyed by fire, but
was repaired so that 1t could be used
until the new one of concrete and
brick, which is being erected along
side of it, is ready.

Almost every local trade union, with
the exception of the Masons & Brick

Though the latter organization is at
odds with the other building trades or
ganizations, it is expected that it will
join the Central body in a short time.
Mr.. Eichelberger is working towards
that end.
The formation of this new Central La
Dor Union will cause a number of local
unions, now dormant, to become reor-
ganizzed and active again. The Ship
wrights, Joiners & Caulkers branch,
the Teamsters' Union and the Timers
are among those to be rejuvenated.

the governor said to DR.. McNevin:
: MY condition is poor and my
vitality lower than last night, isn't
