Although strikes and rumors of
strikes are being visited upon New
York City and other cities of the
country it would seem that Perth
Amboy will escape these as far as the
labor situation here is concerned.
Some little trouble has taken place
among the moulders employed in va
rious foundries of the country, and
this has spread TO the foundries In
this city, but with no serious results
as yet.
According to all that can be learn
cd, the various plants of the city and
vicinity are working as usual and
keeping their men employed, but are
not taking on any great amount or
new labor. 1t was said today at the
office of the Federal State Municipal
Employment Bureau here that many
of those seeking positions are persons
who desire places as clerks or office
men. This demand at the present
time seems to be fully supplied.
When the munitions plants closed
down these persons who had been
employed in the office forces began to
hunt new positions. Those who are
school teachers, and there were many
girls who formerly taught school that
took positions in these plants, lured
from the schoolrooms by the hlgh
wages offered. at once found ready
employm ent~ IN the various ScIlooiS VI
the country through a great shortage
of teachers, but those who were stu
dent stenographerS and typists ala
not find IL so easy TO obtain jobs and
for this reason the big over supply
OF Office help originated.
However, when these munition
plants began to lay off men who
knew trades they were at once taken
on by other concerns that for the
past four or five years have been
forced to operate with whatever klnd
of labor they could obtain. The de-
mand for expert mechanics was great
and those who are versed IN any
manufacturing art readily found en-
ployment. =. J.,
The strike of the moulders. IL Is
understood, only affects the men IN
New York and New Jersey. IL Is un-
derstood that they went out when
their demand for eighty cents per
hour for an eight-hour day was not
granted It was learned late yester-
day afternoon that the moulders had
decided to lower their demands 10
seventy-five cents per hour. In COM
parison with other cities, there are
but a very few moulders employed
here and the strike for this reason
had not been greatly felt except IN
their respective foundrfes,
Many OF the men at the head or
various plants OF the city feel that
for the next six months the country
win see very unsettled condiuohs'

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.

The Firemen in last week : issue Of
this psper are credited with the state
ment that 4. S kolstad f1unked on his
contract Saturday night. September 20.
TO furnish music for the open air dance
platform.
The Liberty 0rehes ira, feeling that
the statements in last weeks paper
were unjust. desires to state few
facts in regard to their dealings with
the fremen.
The outdoor dancing season has closed
earlier this year on all platforms IN the
country than previously on account Of
cold nights.
Mr.. kolstad's contract with the tire-
men was to furnish music on platform
as long as weather permitted. For the
last three Saturdays We played with
hands and feet almost numb from sit
ting in an exposed place for three sohd
houIs.
All members of the orchestra had
been complaining to Mr.. kOlstad 90
account of the cold for the last three
dances, but were persuaded to continue
playing as long as they could possibly
stand il.
Saturday, September IL. three of the
members contracted severe colds. Mr..
Kolstad was under the doctors care
Septen ber 18th, and was told to 90 10
bed and stay there for three or fous
days
AS early as Thursday. September Is,
he notified several of the tiremen that
we would be unable to play Saturday
- ~, ,a,.sll,o,, Of b.
extreme cold. In the presence of Mr.,
Ripper, secretary of the fire depart
ment, Mr.. Kolstad tried to obtain other
musicians to play on platform. in place
of members who were unable, and they
refused.
The firemen say they were forced to
pay SIS for hall September 20. Here
are few facts on this:
They intimate that SIS is more than
the hall cost the orchestra.
Rental on the hall costs the orchestra
$50 per month and allows them use of
hall four nights each month
As this was night of county fair and
as there was every indication Of a
large attendance at the dance the fire
men were given use of hall at actual
cost, giving them the benefit of the
large crowd that was in town.
Mr.. kolstad's contract with firemen
also reads that as soon as weather did
not permit they were to cease operat-
ing their dances and the orchestra was
to resume dancing in Hellbronner hall
In return for this the firemen were
to have the services of the Liberty Or
orchestra and the use of Heilbronner
hall for their annual Thanksgiving
dance.
The firemen have announced that
they have arranged for future dancing,
which is in direct violation of their
