BUS SCHEDULE
IS CHANGED
Machines VIII Do Away With
Former Schedule
RUN EVERY TEN MINUTES
This Change Does Not Affect
South Amboy Busses--Elim-
Inate High st. Terminal

Going into effect today Is O new
bus schedule. drawn up by Alderman
Albert @. Waters, of the judiciary
Committee, under which all jitneys
will leave under ten-minute head
way, with the exception of the South
Amboy busses. The South Amboy
line will run every fifteen minutes as
heretofore. The first out-of-town
buses will leave In the morning at
$50.
Those busses which have used
High street as q starting terminal
will now line up on King street, in
order to make the work of the start
ing officer easier. The officer can
now direct the time of both the Car
teret and Metuchen busses. from his
station at State and Smith streets.
The new schedule has been devised
In order to adjust the long waits
caused by an interruption of the for
mer system. Under the original plan
there was no allowance made In case
bus was disabled and the drivers
and passengers were often compelled
to wait many minutes. Under the
new system the busses will leave at
ten-minute intervals as soon as they
come in, in the order in which they
arrive.
Two officers will now work as
starters, thus covering the busiest
times of the day. They will work in
two relays from $50 A. M. until 1880
P. M. and from 1880 p. M. until $3.50
P. M. Who these officers will be
has not been decided as yet. 1t is
the belief of most Of the aldermen
that the new system will remedy con-
ditions which have been causing
considerable protest.

UNION LEADER
MAKES ATTACK
On Officials Of MIdd|esex County
In Roosevelt Strike Case

Charging the Middlesex County Of
dcials with hampering the strikers of
the u. 8. Metals Refining Company at
Roosevelt, Henry F. Hilfers general
union organizer made a bitter attack
on the county officials at the meeting
of the Essex Trades Council in New
ark last night. There is no county
In the union where free speech and
free assemblage is suppressed as 1t Is
in Middlesex." IF ever we had to do
an act of mercy" said the general or
ganizer, ut Is to rescue the refinery
workers of Roosevelt from the clutch
es of the crooked politicians Of Mid
dlesex County. 1t was the same in
South Amboy. At that time the chief
Of police told me the mayor was only
elected for two years. while his job
was for life.
II have no fear in dealing with the
employers. I know we can end the
strike OF 700 men, but 1t Is the poll
ticians and their gang that butt In"
According to Hilfers. the strikers
were barred from holding meetings in
Roosevelt and he finally arranged for
them to meet in a hall, three miles
away at Carteret.
The organizer said he appealed to
the police OF Roosevelt and was told
their hands were tied. He then APP
pealed to the mayor, and the chief ex-
ecutive said his sympathies were with
the strikers, but the order of the
county authorities was not to allow
them to meet in any of the halls in
the municipality.
IF there is one thing in my life
that I ever wanted to do" said the
general organizer, "it is to organize
those men" Several international Or
ganizers are in Roosevelt aiding in the
work.
According to Mayor Joseph A. Her.
mann Mr.. Hilfers misrepresented the
situation case at the meeting last
night. When Judge Peter F. Daily
granted the license to the liquor men
in the county. it was with the under
standing that they must not open the
halls connected with their saloons or
hotels for any public gatherings what
ever. 1t seems that the strikers tried
to hold q meeting in one of these
halls and were stopped by the authori-
ties. They have not been prohibited
from holding meetings in other halls
Mayor Joseph A. Hermann of Roose-
welt said today. They were holding
meetings, but not in halls attached
to saloons or bar rooms. At the plant
1t was also said they were holding
meetings, and that no effort had been
made to stop them.
The men who have been on strike
for several weeks, demand ten per
cent. increase, shorter hours and bet
ter working conditions.

Canada Acts on Plan.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 30.-Canada
has acted on the Manly plan"
The dominion government has sum-
moned @ capital-labor round table"
to meet IN Ottawa, Sept. 15.
1t will last week.
All branches OF labor, all lines OF
industry, and various bodies allied
with one or the other will be repre-
sented.

ious as that of the States. caused the
government to call this conference.
1t follows the lines laid down by
Basil M. Manly in his interview at At
lantic City while ne was covering the
convention Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor for the N. e. A. and as
ISOLATED journals.
Canada has much unemployment.
although less than expected because
of rehabilitation.
La3 spring a Soviet" strike was
tried in Winnipeg. and spread to other
cities. 1t made no headway.
Labor leaders disapprove the zone
big union" idea which the Winnipeg
agitators tried to put across.
But unrest remains, despite the fall
ure of the Canadian bolsheviki.
This labor-capital "round table" is
designed to start Canadian production
going at its pre-war clip.
Efforts will be made to abolish the
twilight zone" between dominion and
provincial authority, which corres-
ponds to that between national and
state authority in the United states.
Some provinces have eight-hour
laws: others have not. The dominion
parliament is unable to enact one be-
cause 1t would interfere with home
rule in the more backward provinces.
The "round table Will attempt TO
feline collective bargaining.
Also 1t will suggest price fixing
measures to the new Canadian board
OF commerce, which is governmental
body something like the federal trade
commission in the states.
