Kerensky at Labor Conference
Now Being Held In Londor
BY ED. L. KEEN

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, June 27:-The dramatic
and unexpected appearance of Alex
ander Kerensky at the labor party
conference, raised many questions
concerning his future action and his
connection with the Allied policy to-
ward Russia, which may be explained
In his speech before the conference to-
day.
The Mail says the government did
not invite Kerensky to England, but
that he asked the right of asylum as q
private citizen.
However" continues the Mail. "it
is wondered whether kerensky
brought an invitation for Allied inter-
vention from the Russian moderate
socialists.
1t Is reliably reported that Keren-
sky favors intervention by all the AL
iies-even though one country furn-
ishes most of the troops under the slo-
Ean-"fighting Germany while not in
terfering with Russia's internal af-
fairs"
Kerensky Is said to believe that AL
lied Intervention will unite the pres
emit warning faction opposed to the
Bolsheviki and Is reported to have in
timated that Russian military assist
ance is possible If it is used only in
defensive way.

foster the movement here this sum-
mer in connection with the work Of

On the Hayes tract in Catalpa avenue.
in rear Of School I. schoolyard at
School No. 2, near School No. s and
in Washington Park.
AS the time of arranging the play
grounds Is limited this season, there
will not be much equipment placed,
but the time will be spent in playing
games, singing and other interesting
pastimes which make these recrea-
ton centers SO popular with the kid
dies.
The main attraction in this line will
be the playground situated on the
Hayes tract in Catalpa avenue. The
ground on this beautiful tract over
looking the river. will not only be
used as a playgro und for the children,
but as q recreation center and will be
in operation morning, afternoon and
evening.
A large concrete platform will be
erected on the site, which will be used
during the day for the games of the
kiddies. and at night for dancing.
Lights will be struck about the prop
erty making it a delightful spot in
which to spend the hot summer even
ings. II the present expectations can
be carried out, band concerts will be-
come q feature at this amusement
center. Swings will also be erected
in this spot for the use Of the kiddies
and big folks.
In the rear of School No. is a
blind alley known as Chapman street,
which is to become a playground CEN
ter. The street will be roped off and
the children allowed to use 1t for a
play yard.
At School No. 2 the school yard will
be used for the Fairgrounds for the
children who reside in that section
Of the city.
A site is also to be obtained near
School No. 6, and this will be trans
formed into a playground for the
littlo tots Another playground will
be placed in Washington Park, for the
children who live in that section Of
the city. 1t is understood that each
playground will be in charge OF an
instructor.
1t is requested that all those who
can, will volunteer their services as
assistants to aid in entertaining the
children who visit the grounds and
helping the time to pass pleasantly
and cheerfully for the little tots who
visit them.
The Fairgrounds and recreation
centers have proved delight and
Godsend to the children of every city
and Perth Amboy Is indeed fortunate
in obtaining such able assistance in
the matter of playground instructors
for the season.
For the larger children and older
folks who visit the recreation centers,
basketball, tennis and other games Of
this sort will be in vogue, while for
the children the games will consist OF
those dear to the hearts OF the littlo
tots as well as story telling and sing
ing by the instructor or assistant.

That Many Hides Are

Washington, Jan 3-At last the
high cost Of shoes and other leather
goods is TO be probcd.
The federal trade commission, thru

formation for the probe was developed
during the meat inquiry
1t is alleged that rroliteers are
holding huge stocks Of hides and lea :
theirs while tanneriea, leather factor
les and shoe factories are operating
far short of their capacity The in :
timation is that by this means an ar
tificial shortage of leather goods ha
been created, enabling those engaged
in the business to reap unreasonable
profits.
The probe was decided uton as a
result of the exceedingly high prices
the people are comaelled to pay for

If necessary, to provide emergency
funds with which, to conduct the in
