"MOVIES" ORDINANCE
MEETS MANY SETBACKS
Signature of Two Officials
Hard to Obtain.

While it was first believed that OBJ
tanning the signature of Mayor Gre
CORY to the moving picture ordinance
in East Orange would be a difficult
proposition, securing other necessary
names has been found greater task
by City Clerk Lincoln T. Rowley.
The ordinance was passed last
Monday night with several new
amendments by the City Council. 1t
was necessary to draw new copies of
the ordnance, and add the amend
ments, ten in number. 1t is TO be
signed yet by Chairman saxelby and
approved as to form by City Counsel
Whiting. Both have been hard to
reach for their signatures. it is said
Passing an ordinance to allow NOV
ing pictures in the city has been a
hard task, apparently. which is caus-
ing many residents wonder. A year
ago the effort started Now the
ordinance has been passed and must
go to Mayor Gregory for approval or
disapproval.
1t is more than likely the executive
will veto the measure. He will have
ten days to act on it after it is pre-
scented to him by Mr.. Rowley. If the
mayor acts this week, the council will
take action next Monday night.

send. one of the teachers. He men
toned the petition which was circu-
lated against Miss Townsend's meth
DDS, and asked how many thought it
the proper thing to bring complaints
through newspapers instead of to the
school head.
The vigorous nodding of many
heads Indicated the sentiment that
the newspaper publicity plan was not
at all approved. and the chances for
general Strike" have almost dis
appeared
Mr.. Muir was not certain that some
of the pupils away today might not
be in tomorrow.
AS told in the Evening Star some
of the pupils objected to the disci-
pine enforced by Miss Townsend,
who is regarded s one of the best
teachers in Orange. Some of them
made arrangements TO enter a bust

Father Conroy reviewed the fight

the School Board should not have
permitted the work of erecting the
school to go on while the matter was

pointed later to have bill drafted
to be presented by Assemblyman John

scheme, as there has been much
criticism of its operation in Nutley
and other places.
Preparations are now being made
by the firemen in conjunction with a
committee from the Board of Trade
for the observance of the thirtieth
anniversary of the organization of the
fire department. Every effort will he
made to make the affair a SUCCESS,

SUGAR FREE IF
WILSON SAYS So
Congressional Leaders Will De.
fer to Him-Meat and
Steel Rails on List.

WASHINGTON, March S1.-Presi-
dent Wilson will decide if raw sugar
shall so on the free list or carry a
small duty in the new tariff bill.
Congressional leaders are willing to
defer to his attitude. Chairman I'm
derwood, of the ways and means com
mittee, is waiting to hear from the
President.
The Louisiana delegation and con-
gressmen from the beet sugar dis
tricts want duty.
Free steel rails and free iron ore are
carried into the Democratic tariff, ac-
cording to authentic reports last
night Members of the House ways
and means committee are non-com-
initial. Other important additions tp
the free list are said to be:
Dressed meats of all characters,
boots and shoes, salt, sugar, lumber
and timber. agricultural implements,
cotton bagging and ties. fence wires,
leather. food products except grain,
sewing machines.
The existing duty on steel rails is
7-4O of | cent a pound and on iron
ore Is cents a ton. Charles M.
Schwab. in a recent interview, de-
clared that if radical reduction was
made in the tariff duty on steel rails
he would not be able to make a
81. 500. 600 addition to his plant at
Bethlehem, Pa. Schwab and the
steel Corporation are the only large
manufacturers of steel rails in the
country.
In his testimony before the Stanley
steel inVestiga ting committee Andrew
Carnegie said that protection was nc
longer necessary for the steel inter
ests of this country Judge e. II
Gary, of the Steel Trust, and Schwat
took issue with Mr. Carnegie in the
latters statement.
An effort to break down in part the
high cost of living is the reason FOR
including on the free list dressed
meats and food products. Texas and
Middle West Democrats prevented
cattle from being added to the free
list
The Southern cotton growers are
given free cotton bagging and ties

much like the recall" concluded the
