qisIatIon and Takes d Rap
at Administration.
Special bu United Press y .irc.


Washington, April 25.-A tariff
"catechism" was the unique speech
making stunt staged today in the
House by Representative j. Hamp-
ton Moore, Republican, of Pennsyl-
vania. Moore had the house clerk
read the questions which he (Moore)
had previously prepared and the
Pennsylvania answered the ques-
tion, calling his tariff exposition,
''the tariff primer"
He began his cross question tariff
heat with an explanation which he
designated stop, look and listen"
example set by President Wilson in
making an address from the
throne" of the House when the spe-
cial session of congress convened.
Moore said the President then
smashed the dull routine of a cen
tury and returned to the more or
less monarchiel, but presumably anti
Jeffersonian methods of Washington
or Adams at q time when conclas-
tic froth passes for substance, and
audacity for truth when saciated NOR
tails, with easy money, weary OF work
shops and markets and yearning for
novelty and sensations, have COM
PEELED sitting up and taking notice
of the tariff question"
when was the first tariff act
passed?" the clerk quizzed Moore.
1T was approved by President
Washington July 4, 1888" Moore
answered in his best school boy ae-
cents.
Has 1t encouraged American manu-
nrp9' tho a1prk drnnaI
1T gives a significance and hope
and made us manufacturing and
agricultural nation" the pupil re-
cited.
The questions and answers traced
modern times.
why was the Payne bill pass
ed2' Moore was asked.
Because the Democrats were con-
tinually misrepresenting the tariff
questions" was the answer.
Did 1t revise the tariff down
ward?"
1T did and equalized many du-
ties"
"If the people enjoyed such Won
derful progress under the Payne law
why did they complaint"
"They listened to ambitious poll
ticians, agitators without conscien-
ces, journalistic organs with axes
to grind: magazines seeking pap, es-
sayists who found it more profitable
to write fiction than to work; theo-
retical college professors; non-pro-
ducers and a few sincere reformers
usually misinformed and frequently
misled."
The clerk asked Moore what was
meant by the Wilson-Underwoo
bill.
THE bill introduced by Chairman
Underwood, exponent Of the House
of the theories of President Wilson, :"
was Moore's fling at the administra-
ton.

STRIKE SITUATION IS
UNCHANGED HERE TODAY

1t was extremely quiet In the
strike situation in this city and in
Woodbridge and Raritan townships
today. There were no changes. ex-
cepting that about fifty men struck
from plant No. 2 of the Roessler e
Hasslacher Chemical Works at High
street and Buckingham avenue.
Sheriff Albert Bollschweiler' depu-
ties have the situation well in hand
in the clay territory of Raritan
Township, the Woodbridge police
force is handling the situation even
more admirably in Woodbridge
Township and there is no need of
any police service at the strikes in
this city. None of the men have re-
turned to work, but the strike wave
has practically ceased to spread. 1t
is evident Sheriff Bollschweiler,
Mayor Garretson and officials gener-
ally who have studied the situation
that most of people now out of work
are not on strike. The majority
were forced out by agitators. In
most instances no demands have
been made on employers. There
was some slight disorder among
group of strikers in the Sand Hill
section Of Fords last night. Sheriff's
deputies worked efficiently and Sc
cured one man who shot gun and
another who carried brass knuckles.

To Occupy Building of De-
Timing Company Along the
Woodbridge Creek at Once.
MANUFACTURE RUBBER
BY USE OF CHEMICALS
Will Probably Employ 200
Skilled Men When Put In
Full Operation.

Within the next two weeks the
Alembic Process Company, who now
have laboratories at Newark, will be-
gin manufacturing rubber in this
vicinity. The rubber will be made
by chemical process perfected by
this company at their laboratories.
The product has been tested by lead
ing rubber goods manufacturers and
proven to serve the purposes as we'll
or better than rubber made from the
sap of trees grown in the equatorial
zone.
At first the plant will have an out
put OF about $4,000 pounds per day,
increasing the capacity as the de-
mand for the product grows. The
company has leased the building
formerly used as sash weight fac
tory by the Vulcan DEFINING Com
pany at Sewaren, and has an option
on its purchase.
The company's decision to locate
here was brought about by the activ-
ity OF the Board of Trade, and after
numerous conferences with Secretary
Ivan H. Wise concerning the matter
they decided yesterday to come to
this place.
The officers of the company are as
follows: Worthington H. Ingersou,
director In the Mutual Life Insurance
Company and president of the Rose
Vile Trust Savings Bank at Newark;
G. H. Hedden, secretary and treasur-
er, president of the Hedden Hat
Manufacturing Company at Newark;
DR.. Louis Gottschalk, techno-chemist,
pn x...1x.
Armour meat company, and NJ. e.
Shaw, business manager. All Of these
officers will locate in Perth Amboy
or vicinity except Mr.. Hedden.
The installation of the necessary
machinery for the manufacture of
the rubber will be started Immediate
ly, and it is expected that the plant
will be equipped for operation May .
They will supply crude rubber for all
manner of rubber products, and will
be able to sell same at about 81 per
pound, whereas the rubber from the
sap of the trees costs about $1.S5.
They anticipate great demand for
this synthetic rubber.
They will employ about 200 men,
skilled mechanics, in the manufac-
ture of the rubber after the plant has
been in operation for a few months,
though at first they will begin with
a small force.
The desire OF the company to To-
cate a plant at this place was
brought to the attention of the Sec
retary of the Board of Trade through
some personal connections and was
vigorously followed up by him, with
the cooperation of other members of
the Board Of Directors, until the
company's decision was given posi-
lively yesterday.

POLICE FORCE
CHANGED into
FOUR SQUADS
Decision Made at Meeting Of
Committee With Mayor and
Superintendent Burke.
WILL SERVE 8 HOURS
WITHOUT TIME OFF
Alternate BetWsan Day and
Night Duty Monthly vaca-
tion Has Been Abolished.

As the result of agitation by the
night. force of patrolmen, the system
of police distribution will be changed
shortly to give the city continual SER
vice. The complement of patrolmen
will be divided into four squads with
six men to a squad. They will work
in three shifts of eight hours each
and alternate from week to week,
One squad will work from o'clock
in the morning until IL o'clock noon,
another from that hour until
O'Clock at night. Two squads. maxi
ing twelve patrolmen and a rounds
man, will work from o'clock at
night until o'clock the next morn
ing. The new system will become
effective as soon as labor difficulties
have subsidized sufficiently, and is to
be on trial for six weeks
Mayor Garretson and members OF
the police committee of the Council
think well of the idea. They are es-
pecially pleased with 1t because II
will facilitate police work, give the
city continual service throughout
each twenty-four hours and will rem
der the work more systematic. 1t
Will place all patrolmen on an equal
footing, regardless of the time they
may have served. Under the pres
ent system the men who have served
the longest time are favored with day
work and the majority OF patrolmen
work nights. The day men now
work from o'clock In the morning
until o'clock at night and the night
force from o'clock at night until
about O'Clock In the morning. They
are allowed time to reach head quar-
ters. Out of those hours the patrol
men receive one hour for supper,
causing them to be on their posts
about eight hours and half in each
twenty-four hours.
Under the new system monthly
one-day vacations and the supper
hour are abolished. The men must
work every day in the month and
eight hours straight in each twenty
four. The squads will be numbered
one will start working from to IL
o'clock in the morning. After a
week on that shift it will be shifted
to the succeeding post, which is from
noon until s O'Clock at night. The
squads will thus repeatedly go over
the circuit. working week at a time
on each shift.
The change is especially beneficial
for the night men, permitting them
to be relieved from night duty oc-
casionally. 1t will be made by means
of adopting q rule, under section No.
8, of the police ordinance. This pro-
vides that the mayor, chief of police
and police committee may make such
rules as they deem expedient to in
crease the efficiency of the police de-
partment.
The decision to make the change
contingent upon It's success was
reached at joint conference of pat
rolmen and city officials at police
headquarters yesterday afternoon.
Those who attended we're Mayor Ferd
Garretson, Chief Of Police Patrick F..
Burke, Alderman John J. Clark and
F. William Hilker of the police COM
mittee and patrolmen William CAL
vim, Charles Quinn, Joseph Hartung,
Hugh Steed and Nels Lybeck.
