Coincident with Newark's beginning
70 plan for Industrial development,
New Brunswick has started a cam
paign to guard against the city's los
ing millions of dollars yearly by lack
OF homes and space for factories.
A statement compiled in that city
shows that because of Inadequate
housing facilities the Rolls-Royce
Automobile Company, after falling
TO find dsirable conditions there for
the erection of a large plant, sought
a site in another city. 1t is said the
Bed Company would have
settled in New Brunswick had houses
been available, but the company, un-
successful in doing so, erected the
factory in Elizabeth.
During the Investigations carried
on In that city during the past week,
every business man with one excep-
ton pledged themselves to give their
aid IN enhancing the industrial de-
velopment of New Brunswick.
Conditions in this City
The conditions in this city differs
but slightly from those in Newark
and New Brunswick. There is hard
~ a day passes that applications for
buildings for manufacturing
are not received at the Board of
Trade. and many fine industries which
have desired to locate here have been
forced to move on because of lack of
floor space and suitable homes for
their workers.
Calls have come into the Board of
Trade for large buildings containing
many thousand square feet of floor

BD Special Correspondent.

BB Special Correspondent.
MATAWAN, Aug. 26.-Long before
the war Matawan suffered through
lack of housing. True there were
many houses which could be obtained,
but they were without improvements
and were even Stunned by many q
the laboring class. Today even these
houses are rented, and like all other
places in the state, Matawan faces
serious housing conditions. The writer
knows of many people today who wish
to locate in Matawan, but ind it i'm
possible for lack of houses.
In order to improve housing condi-
tons here a $4,000 corporation has
been formed consisting of the follow
ing officers: President, Jacob r. Lef-
ferts; vice president, A. p. Munning;
secretary and treasurer, Peter P.
Munning; assistant secretary and
treasurer. H. l.. Fucker. The incor-
Munning, H. L. Fucker, Theodore
O'Brien, Julian A. Gregory. John H.
Kliege, Peter Munning, p. ]. Devlin,
James Fury and Jacob r. Lefferts.
The new company has purchased
the John G. Conover farm, south of
the Freehold and Atlantic Highland
Division of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey and on the west side OF
Atlantic avenue, on which many new
houses will be erected. The prop
erty contains about forty acres and
extends from the railroad tracks on
the north to Church street and is
bounded on the west by Gravelly
Brook. The tract will be cut up into
building lots, streets laid out, and
water and gas mains put in making
it possible to provide modern improve
ments in the construction of the
houses.
By the Incorporation of this COM
pany 1t may result in the extending
of the borough limits. as this can be
accomplished today without the con-
sent of the Legislature through the
so-called Pierson Acts of 1917 and
1918.
When a shortage in houses took
place in Freehold some years ago, an
organization similar to the one here
formed. This organization or
company built houses and sold them
on easy terms, and found a ready
sale for the buildings and realized a
nice return on their money. By those |
who are acquainted with conditions
here it is felt that the Matawan Build
ing and Realty Company will be
equally successful in building and
selling the houses which they will
erect on the Conoyer farm.
space and for lofts of only a few
feet, but these manufacturers
have been turned down because of
the lack of buildings here. The peo-
pie want to locate here, but cannot
unless there are plants for them to
occupy. Some of the concerns even
offer to aid in erecting buildings if
city will find some way to build
them, and to pay off those who in
vested the money in monthly pay
ments. But Eel this has not been
accomplished.
In order to secure more factories
for this city, factories which will
bring desirable employment to those
living here and also bring additional
employees, it Is necessary to erect
buildings to house them. and unless a
group of men, OF company is formed
to build these buildings, the factories
will fight shy of this city.

STRIKE GOES INTO EFFECT.

indianapolis, Nov. 1.-The strike OF
bituminous miners went into effect
last night with the national head
quarters of the United Mine Workers
of America silenced by a restraining
order issued yesterday by Judge A. B.
Anderson of the federal district court.
No "last word or other message to
the members of the union could be is
sued by the executive board or Off
GERS of the organization and they only
smiled grimly when this fact was
brought to their attention.
While the strike order was effective
at midnight. most of the men quit
work with the ending of the day shift.
1t was stated several days ago at
uniop headquarters that midnight Of
October 81 was selected for the off
cial hour merely because 1t marked
the beginning Of November 1. on which
date the Cleveland convention of the
union had decreed that the wartime
wage agreement of the miners should
terminate.
Eighteen of the unions leaders were
served with notice Of the injunction.

OPERATORS SAY THEY
WELCOME ARBITRATION
Executive Committee Adopts ResoIu-
tion Welcoming Investigation by
Presidential Commission

Cleveland, Nov. 1.-The first step
towards a possible arbitration of diff
ferences in the coal strike was taken
here yesterday at conference of the
executive committee of the central
competitive coal field by the adoption
of a resolution welcoming an investi-
CATION of the strike by a tribunal,
which President Wilson may appoint.
Following this action the conference
adjourned.
In the resolution the operators re-
affirmed acceptance of President Will
sons proposal of October "a and well
coined an investigation by tribunal
appointed by him with a view to an
early settlement of the question at
issue.
Possibility Of the mines being
worked in the event many of the men
strike seems remote, according to
some of the operators, who pointed out
that some states require an examina-
ton of all mine workers, and that
there might not be enough men to
successfully pass this examination.
federal order was issued yester-
day to Cleveland managers of rail-
roads, providing for the commander
Ing Of all coal in transit and to con-
serve this supply for railroad use.

LABOR SECTION OF TREATY
NEXT OBJECT OF ATTACK

Washington, Oct. 30-The 46 amend
ments attached to the peace treaty BY
the foreign relations committee pass
ed into history yesterday when the
last survivor of the group, a proposal
by Senator Moses Republican, of New
Hampshire, to revise the voting
strength of the league of nations, was
consigned to the discard In the senate
by vote of AZ to &c.
The senate then upset two more
proposed textual changes in the treaty
brought in by individual senators. One
of them, presented by Senaror Sher-
man, Republican. of Illinois propos-
ing to write into the treaty preamble
reference to the deity, was laid on
the table by a vote of 81 to 27.. The
other. sponsored by Senator Johnson,
Republican, of California, as Il new
solution for voting Inequality in the
league. was killed outright. 43 to 30.
At adjournment, however. the effort
to hasten final action had brought up
an obstacle which seemed likely to
prevent further progress for several
days.
Today determined group Of sena.
tors will launch a fight to eliminate
the labor section of the treaty, OPEN
Ing a debate which is expected to last
for at least week. The battle 10
expected to be the more spirited be-
cause 1t Is regarded as holding out
whatever hope remains of writing any
amendment into the treaty.

MINING STRIKE
EIGHTY-FOUR LEADERS AXE
NAMED IN WRIT SECURED BY
ATTORNEY GENERAL
MAXIMUM PRICES ARE FIXED
Fuel Administrator Garfield Restores
War Orders Giving Railroad Al
ministration Power to Seize
Coal and Apportion 1t

Washington. Nov. 1.-The big news
in the coal strike situation is the Ied
eral courts restraining order to STOP
engineering of the strike by union
leaders. The order was issued yester-
day and was followed by long line OF
developments and opened the door to
wide possibilities.
The principal leaders in the miners
union met the courts action with de-
nunciation as violation of c0ustl-
/ tutional rights" declarations that II
| came too late to reach their men with
countermanding order. and with pre-
dictions that it would be disregarded
anyway.
During last night mixed reports
| were coming in from the mining states
| of men who decided to remain at WORK
and others who went on strike despite
the courts order 1t is not possible to
estimate what proportion OF the 49,
600 miners affected remained at work
and what proportion walked out. The
real test may not come until Mon
day. Saturday generally is dead
day in the mines.
Meanwhile, organized labor leaders
showed signs of taking up cudgels on
a general issue over the right to
strike.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, with Vice Presl-
dent VOL and Secretary Morrison pro-
tested as a delegation to Attorney
General Palmer against the govern
ment's action in issuing the inJunc-
ton and predicted that it could "only
result in creating new and more dis
turbing issues which may not be con-
fined solely to the miners"
Attorney General Palmer empha-
sized to the labor leaders that the gov
ernment's injunction was in no wise
an infringement of the workingman's
right to strike, but that it was law
full process against calamity to the
country. He pointed out that the in
junction had been issued for the gov
eminent acting for all the people and
not for the employers acting IN con-
flict with their employees.
All day long the government con-
tinued steadily taking measures to
deal with the practical as well as the |
legal phase of the crisis.
President Wilson by executive order
fixed maximum prices of soft coal.
Fuel administrator Garfield restored
the war orders which will give the
railroad administration the power to
seize coal in transit and divert it to
in accord with a prefer
ence list arranged with the idea of
doing the greatest good for the great
est number.
The machinery of the railroad adj
was made ready for func-
tioning.
United States troops began arriving
IN some of the mining districts ready
% take part in keeping order and pro-
-ecting those miners who wished to
continue at work The extent and full
nature of the troop movements were
lot disclosed, but it was apparent that
he war department was acting on a
carefully worked out plan to be ready
f the local or state authorities, rein
'orced by federal deputy marshals,
we're unequal to the situation.

PEACE PR0GE Rates ADOPTED
More Than Dozen Counties of ST.
Are Extending Home Service, For

Families, to Civilians

Minneapolis, Nov. Wool and cot
ton Observation-Disclosures of yards
valued at more than $4,000 have beer
sent into Montana from the northern
division headquarters of the American
Red Cross in Minneapolis for distri
button to people living in the droutf
stricken areas of the state. More
than a dozen counties in Montana
have, through their Red Cross chap
ters adopted the peace program OF
the Red Cross, and are extending
their home service, which was former

families, to civilian families who are
In need of neighborly advice and help.
Many of the chapters have engaged
public health nurses for the period OF
one year to demonstrate to the people
of the county the value of preventing
sickness. Glasses in hygiene and home
care of the sick are being organized
in many Montana cities. towns and
rural communities, the public health
nurses acting as instructors. Another
important phase of their work is the
inspection of all school children in the
county.
1t is rather remarkable that counties
where Red Cross activities have been
extended to civilians, people living in
remote districts and in Strengthened
circumstances have been reached by
Red Cross workers and assisted. One
family living so miles from the Great
Northern railway was visited last
week by a Red Cross worker. The
two children in the family, both girls,
one II and the other IA years of age,
were unable to attend school because
they were not sufficiently clothed.
The younger wore pair of overalls-
no underwear, shoes or hose-and the
older's apparel consisted of ragged
kimono. They were provided with
warm clothing and the older girl, who
could scarcely breathe because of dis
eased and enlarged tonsils, was taken
to town by the Red Cross secretary
and the tonsils removed.
The Red Cross is providing. through
its county chapters, ready-made cloth |
Ing, new material for making wearing |
apparel, provisions, fuel and medical |
aid to deserving families. This serv- |
ice cannot be extended, however, I'M |
les sthe county Red Cross chapter |
