NO INTENTION
TO BRING CHEAP
LABOR TO CITY

Speaking of the adverse criticism of
the labor unionists against the pro-
posed organization Of free employ
ment bureau in connection with the
Chamber of Commerce, Robert NJ.
Pindell, business manager of the
Chamber, declares that the importa-
tion of cheap labor is farthest from
the minds Of the directors. Mr.. Pin
dell declares there never was any
thought Of inquiring about union af-
filiations of men who register with
the employment bureau He also
claims that there will be nothing to
show in the records of the bureau
whether laborers seeking employment
are members of a union or not
Al present, Mr.. Pindell said. the
plan has not been worked out, but the
main ideas TO be carried out would be
compiling of statistics relating TO the
general conditions of laboring men in
this vicinity.

PRISONERS
NOT INDICTED
TO PLEAD GUILTY

A session of the Court of General
Sessions will be held on Monday next,
when number of prisoners will avail
themselves of the new law and plead
guilty without indictment. To the
county it saves much expense as the
grand jury does not have to consider
the cases, witnesses are not held
awaiting the calling of the cases and
the prisoners are benefited because by
pleading guilty, no jury has to be
called, no witnesses are called and the
county is saved expenses. The pris-
oner can expect a lenient sentence,
and instead of waiting in the work
house considerable time for trial,
his case is decided as soon as the
prisoner pleads guilty. 1t is said that
a number of prisoners who are in the
workhouse or out on bail, will come
into court on Monday and plead
guilty.
