Score Republican Freeholders.
May Act on Conditions Of
Garbage Strike.

The garbage collectors strike was
discussed at length last night by the
Progressie city committee. which held
meeting in the rooms OF the Pro-
gressive county committee on Halsey
street. The matter was brought be-
fore the committeeman by Frederick
A. Fischer, who declared that the
Progressive party should take hand
In the matter because their party
platform stood for an eight-hour
working day and a minimum wage
scale. The motion was g popular one
and the matter was referred 20 the
legislative committee for immediate
action.
The appointment OF Alfred N. Dali
ryxnple to the office Of county attor-
nsy by the Republican majority In
the Board of Freeholders was also
criticised at the meeting last night,
and q resolution was introduced CEN
soring the board for its action. The
resolution was referred TO the COM
rnittee on resolutions and lie az fol-
lows:

creasing salaries and In creating un-
necessary and extravagant offices IN
order to appoint to same as a reward
for political services, persons not In
accord with Progressive principles.
and,
whereas, The citizens and tax
payers OF this county resent such ex-
trayagance and waste Of public
funds; therefore be 1t
"ResoIVed, BY the City Progressive
Committee that we call upon all citt-
zene who wish to follow the highest
principles and serve the needs OF the
people, to unite their forces and CO.
operate with the Progressive party
70 the end that all such extravagance
be wiped out and only efficient men
be appointed 10 office"
That the work of organization was
progressing was told by former State
Senator Everett Colby. who. although
not a member but present as q guest,
was asked to say few words. Mr..
Colby announced that the State ex-
ecutive committee had now in its pos.
session quite complete lists OF voters
Of eight out of the twenty-one coun-
ties and soon expected TO get the
others. He also stated that the work
Of organizing the city was well under
way.
Abiding to the present split In the
Republican county committee over
the appointment OF Mr.. Dalrynple
and over the question OF getting the
Progressives to return into the ranks
Mr. Colby said: TT looks as though
the Republican county committee
was going all to pieces"
A. sol
through the generosity of National
Committeeman Irving K. Taylor all
the leaders throughout the State
we're being supplied with copies of
Theodore Roosevelt's book on Pro
gressive Principles" 1t was the pur-
pose that every leader should be in
position to argue the principles of
the party instead OF discussing pat
ronage.
George NJ. Denny expressed the
opinion that the more progressive
members of the Republican party
would see by the recent action of the
freeholders that there was no re-
pentance among the standpatters
and that they therefore will soon
ask to be invited to the ranks of the
Progressives instead of inviting them
TO the Republican camp.
Following the meeting the members
spent q social hour at which the
members of the Ladies' Progressive /
Service Committee did the honors.
Mrs. Edward ]. Stevens had charge
