The Commissioners of Montclair have
passed a resolution calling upon Gov
ernor Runyou to appoint a committee
to investigate protiteering in the Stale
Of New Jersey. The Commissioners
expressed the hope that other towns
join In the movement. In sup
port Of the resolution Mayor Louis F.
Dodd said that evidently little help
would come from Washington where
the legislators were so busy debating
that they took no notice even of the
killing of former soldiers by L. w. w.
in Centralia, Wash. He had been in
formed that men in both of the big
parties were so knee deep in profiteer-
ing that one could not say much about
the other. The "still small voiceu of
Montclair may at least bring about
some action in the state.
