WOULD HAVE INCREASE DEFERRED
UNTIL PRICES ARE ESTABLISHED.
Presidents Address Intended for All Railroad Men Says to
Grant Demands Would Increase Rates, Which
Would Add to Cost Of Living Increases Already Received
by Thousands Of Shopmen Are in Excess Of Living Costs
During Same PERIOD

of normal economic conditions, fnter-
est centered today on what response
the men would make to the Presi-
dents appeal that they cooperate in
maintaining a truce" in all wago
matters.
The first indication of what course
the men would pursue was expected
today in an announcement from their
representatives here who continued In
conference on the question with Act-
ing President Jewell, of the railroad
employees department of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
Announcing that the men would be
granted an increase of four cents an
hour, President Wilson says in an ac-
companyfng statement that to meet
their demands for an increase of sew
enteen cents an hour from the pres
ent basic pay of sixty-eight cents or
twenty-five per cent would necessi-
tate higher freight which would add
to the already high cost of living and
thus defeat the governments efforts
to solve the most important question
before the country today, return to
normal price levels.
I'VE are face to face with a situa-
tion," said the President. (which Is
more likely to effect the happiness
and prosperity and even the life OF
our people than the war ITSELF"
The policy of deferring settlement
of increased wage demands, pro-
nounced by the President, affects not
only the railroad shopmen, but also
the hundreds of thousands of other
railway employees who have wage de-
mands pending before the director
general, or who are about to present
them.
1t is expected an appeal on the
same grounds would he made to these
employees to accept postponement Of
settlement of their demands.
Recommendation to the President
from Director General Hines. as to the
public with the Presidents statement,
showed that the increases already res
ceived by thousands of shopmen from
July 1, 1915 to August /, 1919, were
in excess of the increase in the cost
of living during that period.

MORE BACON IS
ON SALE TODAY
Gut Into Smaller Pieces for Con-
VenienCe Of Customers

The residents of Perth Amboy are
being given another opportunity to
bring home the bacon" today and as
the strips are much smaller than those
placed on sale last week, reports
showed that the meat was far more
popular in it's present form. The
sizes of the strips now on sale vary
from two to five pounds, the price
charged being thirty-four cents a
pound.
Approximately two and a half tons
of bacon were on hand this morning
and Mayor Frank Dorsey made a
special request that those wishing to
secure some Of this meat purchase 1t
at once as the city wishes to get this
supply off its hands before it buys up
any more army food. If the people
show they want this food and will buy
it, the mayor said, the city will con-
tinue to keep them supplied, but if
the residents do not wish to purchase
it the city will stop carting the food
here for sale.
Syrup was also on sale this morn
ing. The sale will continue this af-
ternoon.
When 1t was decided to hold the
sale of bacon and syrup today the fact
that the large st. Mary's Parish and
knights of Columbus excursion was
today also was overlooked and conse-
quentiy many of the housewives who
went on the outing were unable to
avail themselves of this opportunity to
buy. Mayor Dorsey stated this morn
ing that another sale would be held on
Saturday at which time it is expected
the present supply of bacon will be
entirely disposed of. Upon the way
the stock now on hand disappears will
depend how much more food the city
will purchase from the government
store houses.

WIDE INTEREST IN
CANAL PROJECT
Salem Chamber Of Commerce
Passes Resolutions

The New Jersey Intra-Coastal Ship
Canal project is creating great inter-
est throughout the state and many
applications for memberships are
being received, the latest one to ar
rive is from the Salem Chamber of
Commerce. This organization has also
passed resolutions favoring the canal,
and copies of these have been sent
to Governor Runyon, Congressman
Browning and Senator Allen. The
organization has made known its in
tentions to send delegates to the big
convention to be held here and has
requested that committee be sent
to their city on Wednesday, Septem-
ber 8, to tell them more about the
project.
Fred E. Hilton, secretary of the
Board of Trade, who has been on a
three-day trip to Pennsylvania in the
Interest of the canal reports that he
found everyone interested in the pro-
ject. At Pottsville he was promised
the support of the Chamber of Com
merce. The city is run under the
commission form of government and
one of the commissioners informed
him that they would push the mat
ter, and the newspapers agreed to
start campaign in the interest of
the project. Pottsville is the center
of a great coal shipping industry and
the worth of the canal is realized as
it will give much cheaper and more
direct route to New York and the
New England States.
In Philadelphia Mr.. Hilton found
the leading organizations in favor of
the project. The secretary of the
Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce
has taken the matter up with the
chairman of, the members committee.
A big meeting will be held next month
by the Lumbermen's Exchange, at
which meeting speakers will be sup
piled by the Intra-Coastal Canal Ship
Association, the secretary of the Ex-
change has promised to have repre-
sentatives present at the meeting
from all the allied wood trades The
Furniture Manufacturers Association,
Of Philadelphia, will hold meeting
on September 18, at which time the
ship canal will be boosted, and II.
II. Burt, the secretary, will arrange
to have representatives present from
two other associations to meet with
them.
A request was received today from
the Bricklayers, Masons and Plaster
ers Union No. 81, of this city, for rep
resentatives to speak to them on the
canal subject at future meeting.

POLICEMAN ASSIGNED TO
REGULATE BUS STARTING

Patrolman William A. Bachman
was this morning detailed by Chief of
Police Patrick Burke to regulate the
leaving of the buses plying between
this city and nearby places. The Of
ficer soon had all of the automobiles
leaving on their schedule time and
cases of cutting in' on one bus by
another were eliminated.
Both the terminals at the Five
Corners" and the corner of High
and Smith streets are under the sur
veilance of Officer Bachnnan. Be-
cause of the practice of some of the
bus drivers of coming in late and
then getting away ahead of others,
which had been on time and were
waiting to leave, it was decided to
assign an officer to this particular
work.
ut is likely that the aldermen will
decide to have an officer permanently
In charge of the bus terminals here
in order that they be made to live up
to their schedules. If a car is too late
in arriving to start on his scheduled
time, he Is now forced to miss a trip.
Formerly a bus which came in late
would often "cut in" on another and
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-08-26

go out ahead of 1t. 1t is expected Of
fcer Bachman will be kept on this
bus duty until the new police depart
ment motorcycle arrives, at which
time he will be transferred to ride
the machine. s.
A request by Carteret bus operators
to have their running time Increased
from one hour and fifteen minutes to
one and one half hours has been re-
ceived and is under consideration by
the judiciary committee of the alder
men, Alderman Albert G. Waters said
yesterday.
The buses now run on a seven min
ute headway and the drivers claim
that it does not give them sufficient
time between trips in which to stop
their machines and give the engines
the necessary attention, fuel and oil.
The Metuchen buses make the
round trip to Metuchen in an even
hour, allowing few minutes for
stops. The headway on that route is
also seven minutes. The South AM
boy buses make their round trip
across the county bridge in the same
time, because there are fewer busses
the headway is fifteen minutes.
