OFFICIALS SURPRISED BY PEDDLERS
WHO WANT OWN LICENSE FEES RAISED

Kearny peddlers should worry
about wars, or bad crops, or business
depression. real or psychological, or
or anything else!
Can you imagine what would hap
pen if the Kearny Town Council or
any other similar body doubled the
license fees Of saloonkeeoers. or NOV
ing picture managers, fc: instance?
There would probably be a howl that
would echo through the hills, if there
were any around. and then back
again,
But that isn't the way of the ped
dlers. Last Wednesday night the
Kearny council passed an ordinance
raising the peddlers' license fees from
So year to So and now the ped
dlers themselves want it boosted
again to $25
Last night a delegation of peddlers
called on Councilman William F.
Davis. The councilman recognized
some of them, and, expecting they
had come to register kick against
the boost in licenses, prepared to an
swer their arguments as best he
could. But the peddlers all butSgave
the councilman heart failure when
they told him they had called to ask
that the license fee be raised to S25 a
year
Thinking he had not heard Alright.
Mr.. Davis asked the spokesman of
the delegation to repeat.
Yes, we want the license raised to
S25 year said the peddler.

DEnllnTD J,
ROBINSON-RODER
WORKERS STRIKE
Firm Declares Cut Was Made
Necessary by European
War.

About sixty. employees of the Robin
son-Roder Company, mattress and
pillow manufacturers, of New Jersey
Railroad avenue. quit work this
morning after a reduction in wages
and in working hours. The firm de-
clares this was made necessary by
the effect OF the European war OF
the business. The strikers constitute
practically the entire factory force.
Clarence II. Young, viee-president
of the company. said today that the
business depends to a considerable
extent upon imports from Europe
which are cut down by the present
trouble abroad. Instead of laying off
men on account of the decrease in
business he said the firm decided to
cut down the working hours. lie
blames the strike to a few trouble
some spirits among the employees, and
believes that the men will be back at
work within a short time.
A reduction in the working hours
was made a few days ago, with a cor
responding reduction in wages. Ne
cessity for a further reduction was
announced to the employees this
morning. Shortly afterward the men
walked out. Some of the men say
that they are threatened with 20 per
cent. decrease in their pay and that
they would not be making living
wage if such reduction went into
force.
Reserve men from the Third pre-
cinct were sent to the factory, but
the employees were very orderly and
congregated outside of the factory
without making a disturbance of any
kind. They We're requested to leave
the vicinity of the factory and to send
committee when they wished to dis
cuss the matter with members of the
firm.
