PRES|DEN I.
GETS LAST
APPEAL.
Action to Prevent Soft Coal
Strike Taken to Mr.. Wilson,
Message May be Given Out
This Afternoon.
BIZ The Associated E-TeSS.



WASHINGTON, Oct 24:-Final
appeal was made directly to Presi-
dent Wilson today to prevent the
strike of half q million soft coal
miners called for November 1, after
miners and operators, meeting Jointly
with Secretary Wilson, had turned
down two propositions to negotiate
new wage agreement.
While on the point of break up the
two groups, needing the plea of Sec
retary Wilson, agreed to return at 4
o'clock this afternoon to receive a
message the secretary hoped to bring
from the President.
Operators and miners today re-
jected a proposal by Secretary VIII
son that they negotiate a new wage
agreement, calculated to avert the
strike of soft coal miners called for
November i.
A conference of international un-
ions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor will be held In
Washington soon to consider indus
trial disputes now in progress and
impending.
This was disclosed today in tele-
gram sent by Samuel Gompers, ores
fdent of the American Federation OF
Labor to the Illinois State Fedora
ton of Labor, now in session at Peo-
ria. The exact date for the confer
ence has not been determined.

The new bridge which will connect
this city with South Amboy and re-
place the present structure, which has
proven itself a great burden on the
county for the past several years, will
cost between $1,500,000 and $4,000
900, including the cost of the two ap-
proaches, State Highway Engineer
w. G.. Thompson said yesterday after
noon in an interview. The survey for
this new structure, Mr.. Thompson
said, is now being conducted and not
until tentative plans for the new
structure have been drawn can an es-
innate be secured on the approximate
cost.
Just when the work of erecting the
new bridge will begin depends entire
ly upon the amount of money neces-
sary to finance the big project, Mr..
Thompson declared. The cost of the
approaches from either side must be
included in the estimate. he said, and
upwards of two millions of dollars
will be required to build the much
needed structure.
The cost of maintaining the bridge
now amouns to about $4,000 year,
the state engineer pointed out, and 1t
is the opinion of the State Highway
Commission that by building new
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-10-24

structure this saving in upkeep will
make it paying proposition in the
end.
When asked If he could give out
some details of the proposed con-
struction of the bridge, Mr.. Thomp-
son said this was impossible, but
stated that it would be an all-steel
affair. Asked If il would be built in
the same spot .0ow occupied by the
present bridge, he said that it would
not, the survey now being made call
ing for its erection either west or east
of the present location, where the
river is narrower than it is where
the bridge crosses the Raritan at
present.
BY studying the picture taken from
the airplane it will be seen that the
river is much narrower west OF the
present bridge and that great deal
of labor, work and expense could be
saved by erecting it over the narrower
part of the Raritan.
Mr.. Thompson could not say when
ANYTHING definite as to the proposed
plans could be announced publicly
but owing to the great undertaking.
and the large expense involved, 1t is
case of making haste slowly.

DEMOCRATS
ATTACK
G.(l.P.
For Failure Of Past Assembly,
men 10 Give S1O0 Bonus for
Former Service MSn---LOCal
Club at Busy Meeting.

A resolution favoring a state bonus
of 500 to be given to each New
Jersey soldier sailor and marine was
offered by County Clerk Bernard NJ.
Cannon at last nights meeting of the
Perth Amboy Democratic Club and
after motion for adoption by
George S. Walker and a seconding
speech by Assemblyman Fred DeVoe
the resolution was unanimously
adopted.
The resolution offered by County
Clerk Cannon follows:
Whereas, the splendid record
achieved by New Jersey sailors. sol
diers and marines in the terrific
struggle for the freedom of the world
Is a source of great pride to the resi-
dents of the State; and
Whereas, the men who served in
the army and navy during the war
have been at a serious disadvantage
land suffered heavy material losses as
result of such service; and
Whereas, in recognition of the sac
rifices made by New Jerseys sons in
the army and navy during the con-
fict which staggered humanity, we
deem it just and proper that the
State pay to each of it's soldiers, sal
lors and marines a liberal cash
bonus; and
Whereas q measure introduced at
the last session of the State legisla-
ture which had for it's object the
giving of a State bonus OF 100000
to each New Jersey soldier, sailor
and marine, was defeated by the
unanimous vote of the Republican
members of the lower house despite
the earnest appeals of the Democra-
tic assemblymen for a square deal
for the men who suffered so much to
uphold the honor of the State in the
greatest conflict ever waged by man
kind; therefore be it
Resolved, That we vigorously con-
denim as unpatriotic and un-American
the action of the Republican assem-
blymen in defeating this just and
meritorious measure. And be it fur
ther
Resolved, That the Democratic
Club Of the city of Perth Amboy
hereby goes on record as favoring a
generous cash bonus by the state to
each New Jersey sailor, soldier and
marine who took part in the world
war; and we pledge our influence and
best endeavors to the passage Of such
legislation at the next session of the
state legislature.
B. M. CANNON

FARES CUT
ASPLE:A
DENIED
Trolley Company IS Given SeV-
GraI Days to Accept Ruling Of
State Utility Board Raie
Plan Refused.
By Special Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Oct. 24:-Declaring
that the zone system of fares has
not had a fair trial and that it
should be continued rather than alb
rogated, the Public Utility Commis-
sion has refused the application of
the Public Service Corporation for
return to the fiat rate of seven cents
with cent for transfer and recon-
mends the continuation of the zone
system with a modification of the
present rates to the following:
Five cents for the first two zones
and one cent a zone thereafter, with
an additional cent for each transfer.
The company is given until next
Tuesday, October %. to accept this
recommendation. 1t should be borne
In mind, however, that the Utility
Board does not make this modifica-
tion an order which the company
must obey, but a recommendation
which it may accept.
Its recommendation, however, was
dissented from by Anurew ]. Gaul.
Jr., of Bergen county, one of the five
members of the commission who de-
clares in q. separate opinion that the
zone plan has not been found to be
practicable and believing that the
people want and can get better serv-
ice by paying q fiat fare, recommends
the return to the rate of seven cents
with one cent for ZACH trsrsfeS-ss
The action of the Utility n g
sion incidentally disposes of ts.oH- bS
plication of the City of Camden for
the remosal of the zone system.
However, the board promises to give
further consideration to the situation
in Camden with a view to correcting
any inequalities which may now be
found. Attention is called to Cam
den's boycott of the Public Service
cars, which the board says is largely
due to a mistaken idea of it's author
ity to order a five cent fare because
of contract ordinances. The board
says the people of Camden will upon
reflection realize that 1t cannot direct
because the riding public emphatic
company's lines unless this rate Is
fixed. or because they will continue
to Inconvenience themselves by using
other modes of transportation rather
than pay the street car fare,
The Board says it must follow the
rulings of the courts and give the
company the financial return to which
it is lawfully entitled and makes a
plea to Camden's people and the peo-
pie of Camden's vicinity to consider
the question in all its aspects
The Public Utility Commission
made it's modification of the zone sys-
tenn yesterday afternoon in Newark
on the eve of the argument before
Governor Runyon in Jersey City today
on the question of whether the Conn
missions members should be removed
