WASHINGTON. Oct. II -- The
far-reach;ng decision that the United
States government take immediate ac-
ton IN tho three crises facing the
nation IN the threatened strike OF coal
miners. longshoremen's strike IN New
York and the SERIOUS sugar shortage.
was reached at the meeting OF Prcsi-
dent Wilson's cabinet today a, the
White House.
At the adjournment OF the cabinet
meeting this afternoon. secretary TO
the president. Joseph T. Tumulty, An
nounced that these three present step,
had been taken by the cabinet
Secretary of Labor William n
Wilson was delegated by the cabinet
to take in hand tho apparently TN
asoldable strike OF hundreds Of thou
sands OF bituminous coal miners
which John l., Lewis, acting eresident
OF the United Mine Workers OF
AMcrica, has announced that he will
call for November from lndisnapo-
lis today; to act as arbiter in thc
controversy and exert every mcans Ia
aver. the strike. which undoubtedly
would prove a catastrophe TO the
country.
Officials OF the railroad adninistra-
tion were considering every possible
step to preven, the possible closing
of the mines. Reliable estimates
show tina, there i, slightly more than
ten-day supply of coal on hand foF
the operation of the railroad, and the
railroad administration is the gov
eminent agency which will be most
vitaly affected. Director : General
Hines has been in consultation with
other government officials and Il !,
probable that the question will be laid
before todays cabinet meeting.
The senate interstate commerce
committee is now investigating ths
coal situation through a sub.commit'
tee which is headed BY Senator Ere

committee has considered extcndins
its investigation to probe into th,
conditions which mean a threatened

today that the course which the com

The Investigations which have beel
conducted thus lar have shown. Sena

People in Keyport. as everywhere
else, are looking for low prices, and
when the advertisements in the EVE
MING NEWS show folks that they can
buy for less here, they are going to
come to Perth Amboy to do business
The representative learned that many
people from Keyport come here on
Saturdays to purchase their Sunday
meat. The reason they do this is be-
cause they can buy cheaper here than
in their home town. They were at
tracted to Perth Amboy by the bar
gains offered In the advertisements OF
Perth Amboy Merchants.
People, especially the women folks.
crave variety when they shop. and
they find variety in the shops of Perth
Amboy. Here one may shop for sew
eral hours and it was pointed out,
find something different each minute
The salespeople, too, received theiI
share Of the praise in Keyport. The
representative was informed that the
sales girls and men in the Perth Am
boy stores are always willing and
ready to go to any trouble If 1t might
please a customer.
The people of Keyport come t.
Perth Amboy for amusement, to
certain extent. The sports. such a.
boxing and base ball games also are
~patronized by Keyport people.
There are three ways of gettint
from Keyport to this city. Train
trolley and private automobiles. AL
though there are excellent roads be
tween Keyport and this city, except
ing those through South Amboy. n
