NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 31-The
Democrats of New Brunswick held
another big meeting in the Third
Ward last night. About 400 voters
attended the meeting and were enter
tanned by boxing bouts and speeches
from the various candidates. city
Commissioner William Il. Jacques
presided at the meeting.
Congressman Thomas Scully was
the chief speaker of the evening and
the assembly and freebooter candl-
dates also each said a few words.
John Toolan, candidate for assem-
bly,, stated that TindelI and Lyons,
the Republican candidates for office,
are wet at some meetings and dry at
others.
For the alleged violation of their
contract with Clement r. Eckrode, of
Highland Park, the Endurance Tire
& Rubber Corporation of New York
are being sued for $500. The. En-
DURANGO plant, of which Mr.. EckrOde
was superintendent, was located in
New Brunswick, but has not been in
operation since October IL, 1918. AS
claimed by the plaintiff, he entered
into an agreement with the rpora
ton May 1, 1918, at q salary Of 81, 600
per year. The contract ives to con-
tinue in force until September 80,
1920, but on October 3, 1918, Mr..
Eckrode was informed that his serv-
ices would be no longer required af-
ter November 3 of that year.
Special processes which he had
developed in the manufacture of tires
were retained by the company, as
testified to by the plaintiff, at the
time he was discharged. The contract
was made on the representation by
Mr.. Eckrode of his specially develop
ed formulas, though Developments
at the plant proved that he had no
raging in Europe, which is a concern
of the Red Cross, victims of the war
are still greatly in need of clothing
and supplies and the army and navy
surplus supplies in Europe are to be
disposed of by the Red Cross. Mrs.
Dorsey said that the workers can not
lie down now because the war is over
that the Red Cross should be the
Big Brother standing ready in case
of emergencies which are bound to
come up.
/. T. Madsen, chairman of the Roll
Call, gave a report on the activities in
preparation for the Red Cross drive,
which starts next week. The old Lib
erty Loan methods are being used,
and of the forty-three districts, thir-
ty-five have already been signed up
and the remaining eight will be taken
care of by the American Legion. Each
team consists of from five to ten
members, and although there will be
a large personnel working, Mr.. Mad
