There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was sup posed to be incurable Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

The wheel rolled along the south

INDUSTRIES NOT REPORTED

The campaign for Greater Perth
Amboy Is under way in earnest 1t
started yesterday when the teams
which are to take part in the big
membership drive of the Chamber Of
Commerce began their canvass AL
though only six teams were available
Tor the campaign on the opening day
and in spite Of the rainy weather and
the primary election which was the
center of attraction the teams last
night returned to headquarters with a
total of eighty-f1ve new memberships
to their credit.
Although very few teams have re-
ported for work up to the present
time 1t Is expected that the drive will
be completed with a whirlwind finish
that will surprise even those who are
taking part in it, Much interest is
being taken In the campaign for a
greater Perth Amboy and the teams
find people as whole ready to back
up the movement. One proof of this
is the fact that six merchants have
increased their memberships from
one to five.
Through the effort of the Chamber
of Commerce several new industries
have been located here within the
past six months and as the owners of
these plants are of a progressive spirit
and are anxious for the Greater Perth
A-nboy movement to be successful.
they will no doubt line up behind the
organization in its efforts to better the
city. Other Industrial plants which
are already members of the Chamber
of Commerce are taking an active
interest in the campaign and will back
up the movement for greater city
a hundred strong before the drive is
over.
The teams are out again today and
when they report at headquarters to-
night it Is thought that the results
will be most gratifying, both to the
city who are backing to the limit the
Greater Perth Amboy movement.

Workers to Meet.

~ The Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 24.-Interesf
in the nationwide steel strike which
has been in progress last Monday CEN
ters today in the meeting here OF the
National Committee for Organizing
Iron and Steel Workers. William u.
Foster. secretary treasurer of the
committee declares that the com
mittee will not consider peace plans,
but will discuss the advisability of ex-
tending the strike to include seamen
on Great Lakes carrier vessels and
union trainmen.
The question Of financing the strike
will come up and Mr.. Foster says ne
will bring to the attention of the
committee the unprovoked assault by
state troops on strikers, He declares
the workers will fight to the bitter
end.
The union men declare that thous-
ands OF workers are joining the ranks
of the strikers daily and that scores
of mills have been crippled. EN-
ployes said they were pleased with
conditions, which 1t is announced by
representatives of the Carnegie Steel
Corporation are s'improving and en-
couraging."

dents for all offices won little serious
consideration from the voters. Local
candidates for the different positions
made better showing on the whole
within the city precincts than men
from other parts of the country.
Democrats claim their most bril-
liant success in the defeat of Nugent
by Edwards to the tune Of more than
three to one. They declare that the
real test of the organizations vote
getting power Is revealed in the
sweeping victory over Nugent as
compared TO the smaller majority
achieved by Bugbee organization over
Runyon.
Final computation of the figures as
received last night but not yet official
ly checked by the City Clerk give Ed

In New Brunswick the q. q. P.
voters gave Bugbee about 450 more
than Runyon, the formers vote being
794 and the latter's 1928. Raymond
was third in that city also.
Runyon ran ahead of Bugbee in
Highland Park, Cranbury, Dunellen,
Raritan and Piscataway, and a few
other districts.
In the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination race in Middlesex Ed
ward 1. Edwards ran high with about
700 over James r. Nugent. Edwards
total In the county was 1851 while
that of Nugent was 1850. Frank M.
McDermit polled 299 in the county,
being far behind.
Perth Amboy gave Edwards about
$50 over Nugent-about the same
margin with which he carried the
county. Edwards polled 931 in this
city and Nugent 293.
New Brunswick went to Nugent by
about $50, the vote being 532 for him
and ATS for Edwards. Woodbridge
also went to Nugent by about 40
votes. South River was strong for
Nugent, giving him about 116 more
than Edwards. South Amboy was
for Nugent by about 80 votes.
In the county clerk contest on the
Republican ticket F. William Hilker
won an easy victory over his two op-
ponents, Louis Y. Sosin and Freder-
ick Gebhardt. Hilker's vote in the
county was 3,843, Gebhardt running
second with 1892 and Sosin last with
$50.
In Perth Amboy Hillser secured
995, which was $40 more than was
given Sosin and $40 more than Geb-
hardt, New Brunswick gave Hilker
big vote, the county collector re-
ceiving 882 there as compared to 26S
for Gebhardt and SIS for Sosin. High

At noon the comptroller himself es-
timated his margin at 10000.
Edwards wins the state by a plu-
rality of $1,000.
The nomination of Edwards over
James r.. Nugent on the Democratic
side seemed to be even more positive
than Bugbee's victory. Hudson
county's big vote for its favorite son
was too much for the Essex man to
overcome, despite his good fight
throughout the rest of the state in
different places. Edwards majority
over Nugent in Hudson was 22,291.
The Essex man polled about 5000
votes there, as compared with 5000
for Edwards. While the ratio in IA
vor of Nugent was just as great in Es-
sex, still the majority could not be
sufficiently high to offset the Hudson
figures, because of the smaller sized
vote in Essex Democratic primary.

Disorder in Cleveland.
BIZ The Associated Press.
CLEVELAND. o., Sept. 24.-Four
men were stabbed, two probably fatal
ly and two others badly beaten near
the entrance of the American Steel
& Wire Co., this morning in the first
serious local disorder of the steel
strike. The trouble started when a
street car stopped near the plant to
let off the men bound for work at the
mills
Among those who got off the cars
were three negoes. Strike sympa-
thizers attempted to stop them from
going into the plant, according to the
police, and two of the negroes drew
knives. A general fight ensued in
which many men in the vicinity of the
plant joined When detail of police
reached the scene they found four
men had been stabbed, two probably
fatally.
The negroes returned to the street
car for shelter. The car was pur-
sued by hundreds of strike sympa-
thizers and bombarded with sticks and
stones, and the three men seized and
beaten. Police rescued two of them.
The third escaped.
