Activities ON j.

The question is being asked what
the real reason can be for the intro
duction of the Assembly bill 102,
which aims to repeal the injunction
ana Abatement Act" passed in 1916.
The New Jersey State Federation
of Women's Clubs is sending out an
urgent call, not only to all club men,
bers, but to all women, to find the de-
finite reaSon for this effort, and use
every influence for it's defeat.

sion of disorderly houses and pro-
vides that such nuisances shall be en-
Joined and abated by order of the
Court Of Chancery after due notice in
the owners, leSsees and licenses con-
cerned.
The law is already in force in thir-
ty-one states. A repeater would place
New Jersey in the position of being
the only n of these states 10 make
an effort to repeal the law, and it
would be in opposition to the expert
ence and wishes of the Federal Gov
eminent.
1t would be particularly unfortu-
nate for New Jersey to take such a
step, because of its proximity to the
large ports OF Decentralization and
