POST SECURES
ZOO MEMBERS
And Drive Has Not Started
Plan Mass Meeting

Although the official membership
campaign for the American Legion
does not start until September is.
when the membership committee of
the local plant post met at the Legion
headquarters in the War Camp Com
munity Service building here last
night 1t was found that over 200
membership applications had been
received since the meeting last Thurs
day night.
From this report it would seem
that the campaign here will meet
with great success. Perth Amboy's
quota in the drive is 1000, out it Is
expected that the number Of members
obtained will go over that number
There are al present $500 posts
throughout the United States, with
a total membership of 100000. New
Jerseys quota Is $4,000. The state
which leads the country In the per-
centage of the membership gained in
accordance to its quota will be
awarded a banner by the National or
ganiZation.
The post is now planning for a
mass meeting to be held in the audi
forum of the high school Saturday
night inc final arrangements for this
meeting will be made at the regular
meeting of the post on Thursday
night. Details concerning the men,
bership drive will also be passed up
On at this meeting.
There will be one delegate for ev-
cry fifty members to the county con-
vention, which is to be held at New
Brunswick on September Is, and
these will be named at the meeting on
Thursday night.

B WOULD RULE
UNDER PLUMB PLAN

course, that thoughtless objection is
chiefly raised. What is to stop labor
and management from getting togeth-
er to absorb the net operating revenue
by constantly raising wages7
A very simple provision in the bill
prevents his combination. I would
call attention to the fact that half of
the net operating revenue is to be dis
trfbuted to the employees in the form
of dividends; and to the further fact
that the rate of dividend for the Of
hcial or managerial employees is double
the rate of dividend for the classified
employees or wage n
There are a hundred classified en-
ployes to every single official employe.
Remembering, now. that an increase in
pay takes place at a corresponding
rate in both groups, but hat the Of
hcial group receives double the divi-
dend rate of the classified group, it is
evident that the official group will
always be for dividends rather than
for an increase in pay.
Thus the official employees will in
variably be opposed to an increase in
wages. In a wage controversy, the
five representatives of the official en-
ployes will stand opposed to the five
representatives of the classified en-
ployes on the board of directors. and
the decision win rest in the hands of
the five representatives Of the public.
The public will be the umpire.

DELAY ON NEW
SCHOOL PLANS
Few Minor Changes Made By
Board---T Advertise Soon

The plans for the new public
school to be erected In Hall avenue
were not given out for bids last night,

ucation, after studying the plans in

These changes consisted mostly of re-
arranging storage rooms, doors and
stairs the. general idea as to the
number of rooms and their location

architects, J. Noble Peterson & Son,
have made these changes to the
plans. a special meeting of the board
will De called at which time action
will ba taken to secure bods for the
construction of the new school.
1t Ia expected that the cost of
building the new school, which will
contain about thirty rooms. will be in
the neighborhood $4,000. An entire
block is owned by the School Board
upon which this building will be
erected.

MAKES HIS OWN
LIBERTY BOOZE
Lands In County Jail; Federal
Agent Finds Private Still
BIZ Star Correspondent.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Sept. The
result OF prohibition In Middlesex
county has made several people re-
sort to extreme methods of securing
tnelr pooze." One case was brought
to notice when Mary Meyer. of Lin
denau, came to this city yesterday
reported that her husband Vim
cent, had been beating her. He was
arrested and sent to the work house
on this charge. When her husband
was placed in Jail Mrs. Meyer made
the statement that her husband was
distilling whiskey at the home. Chief
OConnell sent the woman to Chief
of County detectives Richard Peltier
where she told the same story in re-
gard to the beating and the manu-
featuring of whiskey.
Chief Peltier assigned Detective
Fitzpatrick to- the case, who went to
the home to Investigate but failed to
discover the still. He found instead
a two gallon bottle, about 7-8 full of
light, watery appearing liquid and al
so a quart bottle of raisins and cher
ries, which were later turned over to
the Internal Revenue Collector, James
Curran. Collector Curran got in
touch with the government authori-
ties Immediately and men were sent
here yesterday to investigate.
The liquor In the large bottle wass

booze" 1T had a mule kick tina
would take your shoes off" was the
verdict rendered by one of the gov
eminent officials.
The officers found the still when
Vincent, himself, showed them where
it RAJ placed. It was constructed of
a large copper washboiler with tub
ing of copper attached in the proper
method for the congealing of the va
pors. 1t was claimed that the still
was being used by many of the
neighbors of the vicinity.
The fighting, which eventually led
to the discovery of the m~anufactur-
ing Of the whiskey, was started by
the wife throwing away the home-
made whiskey. Finally the Booze"
got the upper hand and Vincent be-
came peeved, beat his wife and threw
her out of the house with the threat
that he would use the axe If she re-
peated her liquor wasting.
Government officials are following
the case.

MAYOR TELLS Of
CARNIVAL HERE
Says It's a Block Carnival
Some Complaints Are Made

When is a carnival not a carnival?
When it Is a bazar. No. When IL
is a block carnival.
Practical business men in the city
are asking themselves this practical
question today. 1t is pointed out that
when Mayor Dorsey first took office
he announced that no permits for car
nivals within the city limits would be
granted. still the carnival at Smith
and the c. r. r. has been in prog
ress for several days. The matter has
been brought to the attention of the
EVENING NEWS In the past few
days in the form of several protests.
ASKED about the carnival today
Mayor Dorsey defined his position
briefly by stating that If Chief Burke
was permitting any Irregularities at
take the matter In his own hands.
The permit was issued June IL to An
thony Munoz. secretary of the Fire
mems Memorial Association. for a
block carnival" The permit states
that it is understood that only local
attractions" n dancing are to be
permitted in order that outside con-
Germs may not come in and gouge the
citizens. Permission was also given
for a merry-go-round If the consent
OF persons on adjoining property
could be obtained. No charge Is made
for permits of this nature, the mayor
said.
The Mayor said this morning that
he had not received any complaints
of any kind regarding the carnival
and that he understood that It was
being conducted without any of the
usual Objectionable features accom-
panyiHg travelling carnivals.
The fact that the volunteer fire. de-
partment has to be supported by car
nivals is an added reason for a paid
fire departmen is the claim Of sew
eral residents.

Railroad Employees.
Does the Plumb plan turn over the
railroads to labor? On the operating
directorate. will there always be q
majority to vote for labor's demands?
VIII there be a tendency for the five
directors representing management to
get together with the five represent. ng
labor, in opposition to the five repre-
senting the public?
These are questions which the man
in the street is asking. They are also
questions which we have asked our
selves very candidly and sincerely, as
we have developed the plan hat is
now before the country. If we had
not been able to answer with full sa-
tisfact on to ourselves, we would not
have felt justified in bringing the plan
forward.
First, the matter of rate-fixing is
entirely eliminated. Rates are not to
be fixed by the operating directorate
at all. They are to rest altogether in
the hands of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. which Is to retain it's
present status. When half of the net
operating revenue exceeds five per
cent. of the gross operating revenue,
rates are to be lowered automatically
to absorb the extra amount.
