Auto Stolen; Soon Found

Lost quickly and found soon were
the fortunate circumstances under
which a limousine owned by Super
%intendent Samuel j. Mason, of the
water department, was stolen late
yesterday afternoon and recovered
early last night. Mr.. Mason notified
the authorities that his car had been
apprehended by someone while 1t was
standing on the street and he wished
that police headquarters of towns in
this vicinity be notified of the theft
and so be on the watch for the car.
The police assured him that every
thing would be done to find h car
and accordingly when the night squad
went on duty they were informed that
a car had been borrowed by some un-
known parsonage and the license of
the automobile was 1901 N. j., and
if they should see such n a with
such a license to take il into their

Gaydos while standing on the corner
of Smith and Herbert streets saw a

cenSe and SO gave chase but evident
ly the driver saw Gaydos coming, so
abandoned the a and made himself
decidedly scarce in that neighbor-
hood, and Gaydos could not trace
him.
Since the next best thing to the
thief was the car, the officer jumped
in and guided 1t to headquarters
where it was turned over TO Mr..
Mason after he had identified II.

In connection with government
ownership of railroads, telephones
and other utilities, the speaker stated
that in his belief il would be a calam-
ity to take the ageme of the
railroads and telephone companies out
of the hands of the individuals. In
dividual initiative should be encour-
aged, he said, n it was his opinion
that the next congress will devise a
system whereby those in charge of
h federal control of railroads will be
satisfied to return them to those who
built them up.
Assemblyman Arthur E. Warner,
the next speaker, pointed out the adj
vantages of the ship canal from Nor
gan to ~Bordentown, which would re-
duce the distance from New York to
Philadelphia by water from 247 miles
to eighty-seven miles. In addition to
developing the state and opening up
new territory this big proposition
would also furnish employment for
thousands of men receiving their dis
charges from the army and navy. The
interest manifested by the cities Of
this state will lave much to do with
the making of this proposed canal q
certainty instead of q probability, the
assemblyman said. He stated that
Governor Edge had recommended
that $500, 600 be spent this year and
a like amount next year in order that
the necessary right of way might be
secured for the construction of this
canal.
With reference to the county bridge
the speaker declared that the state
has long recognized that it should ani
municipalities n that a road bill
was passed last year which affected
the present situation. Assemblyman
Warner stated that he would vote in
favor of it and speak for it in the
House and do everything to assist in
securing the passage of the bill which
will result in state control of the
structure.
The speaker also dwelt briefly on
the inspiration which Abraham Lin
coin had given to the growing youth
OF this country. He also paid a tribute

SCULLY HEARS
THE LABOR MEN
Grievance Committee Tells of
Conditions Causing WaIkout
at Raritan Arsenal

Congressman Thomas J.. Scully
came to this city this morning for
the express purpose of hearing a
committee of labor leaders who desir-
ed to present, for his consideration,
a grievance of plumbers, steamfitters
and sheet metal workers at the Rari-
tan arsenal, who left their work at
h a place on Tuesday, following the
inaction of the government in award
ing them even dollars a day, as they
demanded n not the six dollars they
were receiving.
There was no strike at the arsenal.
The men, true to the ruling of their
superior body, did not strike, but in
dividually left their work there.
The plumbers a. was presented
by Arthur Schroeder, business man.
ager for the local union, which en-
braces the arsenal and the Morgan dc
pot as well. His argument was sub
s~tantially as follows:
That on or about December 6 a
committee of the union a gone to
Raritan where they interviewed Ma
jor Conard, asking him that the ar
senal adopt the current wage scale as
paid in this city. Under agreement
with the government, prevailing
wages are paid in all government pro-
jects. The plumbers in this city went
under he seven dollar wage scale on
December 16, but the men at Raritan
stayed under the six dollar wage. Last
Tuesday a committee again waited
on Major Conard and asked him to
grant the increase to the men at the
arsenal, who Games under the juris-
diction of the local union. The major
informed the delegation that the mat
ter would have to be taken up with
Colonel Alexander in Washington.
On Friday the committee again
waited on Major Conard and told him
that il the increase was not granted
by Tuesday they would quit work, as
they were getting uneasy. They would
not strike, he was told, but they
would simply leave their work there.
The men quit at 4:30 o'clock on Tues
day night since no action was taken
at Washington, aDd soldiers have
taken the places of the mechanics.
There is no work for the tradesmen
here at present and they are out of
employment. About forty men laid
down their tools on Tuesday.
Mr.. Scully a that the govern
ment had agreed to pay the wages to
men that prevailed in the sections
where they were working. He was
informed that New Brunswick
plumbers receive $3.50 a day. He said
that he had taken the matter up
with Col. Stewart, of the ordnance
department, who informed him that
OruefS nau peeH given W uchiopiii|S
the soldiers at Raritan and replace
them with civilians. The government
offers to pay prevailing wages and
furnish living quarters free and meals
at cost to men who work and live at
the plant.
Mr.. Scully said that he believed the
government would act on the recon-
mendation of the commanding officer
at the camp Inc that he would take
the matter up with Col. Alexander at
Washington in the hope o fgainiDg
some action.
He may take a trip to both Raritan
and Morgan this afternoon to inter
view Major Conard at the former and
Major Judson at the latter with re-
gard to the civilian employees at the
two places.

portant part in the development of
New York harbor.
DIR. Macmillan Grossman, one of
the delegates to the League of Ma
tons to Enforce Peace conference
which has been held in New York,
was the next speaker. Before the
Franco-American war, he said, the
people of Germany loved Lincoln as
did the people OF America but after
that war materialism began to play
the most important part in Germany
which continued until they had to
learn the serious lesson which is just
being concluded. The league of ma
lions, the speaker said. means that
there should be no strife n that a
union will be welded by good will
and maintained by that same good
will instead of international police or
armed forces.
Dr. Grossman told of the wonder
full thing Americanization is proving
to be M OF the need of making all
foreigners coming to this city Ameri-
cans. In closing he declared hat the
underlying thought of unity will DOM
mate and liberate the world.
Rev. Wilbert Westcott, the last
speaker. announced that owing to the
l~ateness of the hour he would not en-
deavor to give a talk OIL the life of
Lincoln as he could not do justice TO
Sucn a Dig SuDlecI IN Sucn a snoTt
period of time. He told several
amusing stories and then speaking
more seriously referred to Theodore
Roosevelt, paying a tribute to him as
he did to Abraham Lincoln. Rev.
Westcott said that by naming George
ID. Heron as one of the American del
egates to the Russian conference,
President Wilson had done one thing
which is an insult to every man and
woman. Heron, the speaker declared,
had endeavored to start a 'free-love"
colony at Metuchen but his plans
never carried out. In closing the
speaker urged conservation as the
keynote in this state.
The supper was prepared by Mrs.
Larsen and served by about twenty
young women who had volunteered
to assist at the occasion. Music was
also furnished.
