TO CLIP JUSTICES
Of THEIR LICENSE
GRANTING POWERS
Federation of Labor Seeks to
Further Safeguard School
Children.

Child labor is to be further curtailed
If the plans OF the executive board of
the New Jersey State Federation of
Labor go through. The board at a
meeting held Saturday discussed the
problem, and 1t was voted to ask the
Legislature to place further r%estric-
tions upon the license granting powers
of justices of the peace In relation 20
labor permits for children of a school
age, 1t is purposed to make it more
difficult to obtain a permit allowing a
school child TO work.
1t is charged tina there is general
abuse of power by justices, many Of
whom do not hesitate to issue these
permits, for a consideration, without
making the investigation the law re-
quires to ascertain whether it is alb
solutely necessary for the child TO
work.
Drastic Measures Advocated.
Some of the members of the board
are in favor Of depriying the justices
of this power altogether. while others
believe that greater restriction by law
would prove sufficient TO curb the ac-
tons of officials who ave been grant
Ing permits Unfortunately.
The board also declared war on the
so-called bread trust, because of its
failure to use the union label on it's
product, and decided to inaugurate a
campaign having for its object the
abolition of the prison contract system
on the ground that evade
the law requiring that prison products
be so labeled. 1t was also decided to
hold a meeting November 10 to draft
an employers liability bill TO be In
troduced at the next session of the
Legislature.
Cornelius Ford. chairman of the
executive hoard. was appointed to wait
on Labor Commissioner Lewis T,
Bryant. to advocate an Improvement
of the sanitary conditions OF the State
prison.

CASTS NEW LIGHT ON
ASYLUM

Denying hat he made n mistake
in the bid submitted by the Browe
Electrical Company for the electrical
work at the Overlook Asylum for
the Insane, William e. Rossiter, writ
ing from Bailey, Colo. where he is
now located. makes the rather startling
statement that $4,000 was Topped from
his estimate by J, F. farmhouse, vice.
president and manager of the COM
pany, before the bid was sent to the
building committee of the Board CT
Freeholders.
This is in exact contradiction OF the
statement made by Mr.. Farmhouse,
who when he testified recently before
the Overlook Appraisal Commission.
said that the withdrawal of the bid
was requested by his company owing
to mistakes in estimates made by Mr..
Rossiter, who was then superintendent
of the company. Farmhouse also tes-
tifed that he knew nothing about tine
bid, as he was in P%ittsburg at the time
it was figured up and submitted.
This latter statement is positively
denied by Rossiter, who says that
after he had estimated the cost of the
work at $4,000 he went owe the fig
ures with Barnhouse, who verified them
and pronounced them all right.
Later Rossiter says he heard the bid
had been put in at $780, 900, and that
when he asked Farmhouse about 1t the
latter replied: after you left me |
thought the matter over and made up
my mind that some one would get the
Job for $4,000 or less" That was his
explanation for cutting the estimate.
1t is probable that a further inves-
tigation of the Browe contract will lie
made at the meeting of the Overlook
Appraisal Commission this afternoon.

TWICE REFUSED
TO RUN BUT IS
CANDIDATE AGAIN
Augustus F. Eggers Out for
Election to Board OF Street
and Water Commissioners.

Augustus f. Eggers, the unanimous
Republicans for a fourth term In the
Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners, is one of Newark's Oldest and
most widely-known German-American
citizens.
There is nothing too good for Judge
Eggers"-the term by which he is best
known-ls a statement frequently heard
in ante-election times. not only Ia and
around county Republican headquar-
tiers. but In every section of the city
where he has made numerous friends
during his tifty-six years residence in
this city.
And they are not all Republicans,
either, as was forcibly demonstrated
at the election in this city three years
ago. On that occasion Judge Eggers
was elected to the Board of Works
by a plurality of 1,1S6 over Thomas +.
Holzinger, his Democratic opponent,
while Frank S. Katzenbacha Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, had a
plurality of 5,113 oyer Governor John
Franklin Fort.
Judge Eggers's Life.
Born in Germany in 1889 Judge
Eggers was not quite 16 years old when
he came to this city, and he liked 1t
80 well he has lived here since, except
for an occasional trip abroad for
recreation purposes or a visit to some
Of the larger American cities on a
combination of official business and
personal information.
During his earlier life while repeat
eddy urged to do so, Judge Eggers
would not consent to the use of his
name as a candidate for office. His
belief has always been that whatever
is worth doing at all is worth doing
well. Consequently he did not feel at
liberty until about seventeene years
ago to devote sufficient time from his
private business to accept an office.
Then 1t was one with a very modest
salary attached-$500 a year, and one
OF the duties of which he might at
tend without interfering with the real
estate and insurance business In which
he was then, and is now engaged.
Goes on Election hoard.
It was the office of member of the
County Board Of Elections In which
he succeeded the late William r.. Will
Jams, who had preceded Major Carl
Lentz as chairman of the County Re-
publican Committee. The office is a BIZ
partisan one ana Judge Eggers served
as chairman of the board for five years
preceding appointment as police Judge
by former Mayor Julius A. L~ebkuecher.

Eggers held the latter position that he

his false statement, and while he is
preparing it l would like to quote for
mer President Roosevelt, who, in his
speech in Illinois two weeks ago, de-
clared that there was no place In the
Republican party for either bribe-
givers or bribe-takers
Now, 1 charge Mr.. Record with being
a self-confessed bribe-giver. He made
this confession publicly at a dinner of
the Bar Association in New York, adj
hitting that he, on behalf of a water
corporation, had endeavored to bribe
what he termed "the funny-faced Irish
man" in order to secure certain privi-
leges for the corporation hat he rep
resented. Passing over the gratuitous
insult to the ace from which | sprung,
l want to suggest to him that possibly
his confession in this case has had
something to do with the fact that
although ne mas aspired to Office many
times in Hudson county he has always
suffered defeat. 1t would appear,
therefore, that the people of our COM
munity have but as little use for bribe-
givers as has a former President of the
United States.
Commentary ON Convention.
After the convention which noni-
mated Mr.. Lewis. Mr.. Record had this
to say regarding the delegates: "A
number of the Hudson county machine
men were drunk, and the Atlantic City
delegation seemed to be composed
largely of plain toughs. The result was
a rowdy, boisterous and ~iil-mannered
convention, which marked, l think, the
lowest level yet reached by the party"
This IL Mr.. Records idea OF the on
vention which made Mr.. Lewis the
nominee of his party, and on July 81
Mr.. Record declared thai IL Mr.. Lewis,
a man of weak character, was nomi-
mated by the Republicans and DR.. Will
son, a man of strong character. was
the choice of the Democratic party,
that undoubtedly DR.. Wilson would be
elected governor OF New Jersey.
Now, does any man think that If
Mr.. Record was not a candidate for
office, in view Of these statements, that
he would support Mr.. Lewis's candi-
dacy? Is it not another proof that my
opponent is showing the same spirit of
opportunism that made him once a
Democrat. then a Republican, later a
New Idea devotee, and now half q
Regular and half a Progressive?
I would again remind Mr.. Record
that he is not running for governor of
New Jersey. rs 1 understand the
situation, he Is a candidate for Con-
gress in the Ninth district. He will
find when DR.. Wilson'S reply is made
mat he is well qualified to handle State
affairs without any advice or sugges-
lions from him. Mr.. Records cam
paign has been open now for two
weeks, and | nave challenged him four
or five times to point out a single vote
which was cast by me during my term
in Congress which he would have cast
differently had he been the representa-
tive of the Ninth district instead of
me. No reply has yet been made to
this challenge, and 1 believe that Mr..
Record is too shrewd to make any.
Therefore, I ask why should khere be
any change in the representative OF the
Ninth district?
The people have not forgotten his
C as corporation counsel, and his

The wind blew away from the com
pany's big sawmill, so that it was not

was consumed. The origin of the fire
is unknown at the present time, but
there are people who believe that the

100000 worth of property in four
weeks, with six fires, has extended his
operations to Duluth proper.

This fire was easily extinguished be.
fore the flames spread far enough to
do much damage. The lumber con-
sumed at the Alger, Smith & Co. fire
consisted of nearly 100000 feet, the
bulk of which was low grade stock
This loss amounted to about $4,000
and the loss on shingles and lath
amounting to $4,000 and may exceed
that amount, all covered by insurance.
