Booster Trip

The Booster trip this year
was very successful both from
the number on the trip and
from the good that was done.
Thirteen cars made the trip and
each one was loaded with men
bent solely on making the 1912
chautauqua the best one ever
on the local grounds. Califor-
MIA Jet, Modale, Mondamin,
Magnolia, Logan, Woodbine
and Beebeetown were the towns
visited and a royal reception
was given the boosters at every
stop. The start was made at
9:3C and the caravan arrived at
Magnolia, the dinner control, at
1915, as hungry a bunch as
ever sat down to a dinner

The trip to Logan, Woodbine
and Beebeetown was without
incident except that all of
the towns promised a good
turn out to the chautauqua.
Taken as a whole the trip
was a very successful one
and did a great deal of good to-
ward promoting a successful
chautauqua.

CALLS ATTENTION TO
AUTOMOBILE ABUSES
tFrom the NEWS correspondent)

Trenton, June 14.-Attention Is
called to several automobile abuses
in a circular letter which Edward
Johnson, Chief Inspector of the Mo
tor Vehicle Department, has just rs
sued to the Inspectors of his depart
ment. Mr.. Johnson directs the IN
spectors carefully to look after eV-
cry Infection of the law.
Among other abuses to which the
attention of inspectors Is particular
ly called is the running Of cars
owned by residents of New Jersey on
licenses obtained in other states, a
privilege which the new reciprocity
law confers only upon non-residents.
This practice is in effect, operating
a motor car under a false registra-
ton number, and offense for which
the penalty under the law is a fine
of 500. The inspectors are en-
Joined by Mr.. Johnson to use the ut
most possible diligence in entering
complaint against such offenders
when detected, and reporting the
facts in each case to the depart
ment at the State House. Prosecu-
lions will follow in all cases re-
ported.

morning.
jesse Davis Interviewed.
Jesse Davis states the principal
bone of contention of the A. S. q
r. strikers is the bonus and relief
| benefit systems. He stated, accord
ing to the men, the bonus system In
vogue provided that men working
t~wenty-four days a month receive
81 extra; those working t~wenty-six
days, $3.50, and those working
twenty eight days, IS, but they are
never permitted to work twenty
four or more days a month. In ref
erence to the accident relief fund IN
operation there, the labor leader
stated men paid s~eventy-flVe cents
a month for doctor and medicine
service when injured. The strikers
estimate that this system is moth
ing more than a big money-maklng
scheme for the A. S. & R. company.
The labor leaders are dissatisfied
with many of the newspaper arti-
les printed concerning the strike,
declaring the workers have not been
treated fairly and that there has
been much exaggeratiOn. They ask
for Justice, inasmuch as they are
fighting great odds in dealing with
some of the employers. One, who
would not be quoted, declared the
q n hu ttC Innt1HQ
would probably win the strike,
principally because 1t had capital
and the newspapers behind 1t.

Such action would be foolhardy, he
