MEN HEAR
RAILROAD RAISE PROTEST.
Jacob L. Newman Speaks at
MONDAY Luncheon.

Vociferous applause, indicative of the
enthusiasm with which the statement
was received, followed the urging oil
Jacob l.. Newman. u local lawyer
speaking before the MONDAY luncheon
of the Credit Mems Association In the
Hotel Broad today, for local business
men to join in the railroad rate pro-
test campaign now on throughout the
State. over seventy of Newark's lead
Ing business men were in attendance.
II observed also,', said Mr.. New
man, speaking of the purpose of the
credit association, that one of the
objects of your association Is to secure
freedom from unjust and unlawful ex-
actions. When l read this ! said to
myself that the author must have
viewed with prophetic eye the present
attempt on the part of the railroads to
raise rates Of transportation and
freight. This association should also
take an Interest In that problem, and
see that is is solved In a just and inn
partial way as between the railroads
and the public"
Mr.. Newman discoursed for a short
time ON the work of the National
Credit organization, and emphasized
the Importance of the purposes of such
organizations In a city.
"Newark's prosperity. present and
future, depends to a large extent on
the business men. As part of the busi-
ness life of the city the credit mems or
ganization Is big and important fac
tor"
The Rev. DIR. W. w. Giles, of East
Orange. was to have spoken at the
luncheon, but was prevented from
keeping his engagement by a slight Ill
ness.
The next monday luncheon of the
organization will be held on Thursday,
July ID. Instead OF a speaker, the COM
mittee in charge is arranging for some
lighter form of entertainment, probably
music and humor.

You Can Wear This Truss

You who depend upon ordinary

many advantages).

Of the Cluthe Truss than the fact that
even the s%quirming, straining move

From the time you put this truss

No matter how bad your rupture
may be there is no danger whatever
