URGE GREATER SUPPORT
FOR RED CROSS SEALS HERE

Although many returns are being
received from the Red Cross Christ
mas seals the sale is not receiving
the support it should as many of the
people to whom seals have been sent
are returning them. For this reason
it would seem that few people under
stand what q great work Is carried
on by the money received from the
sale of the Christmas seals.
All returns from the sale of the
seals in this county are turned over
to the Middlesex County AntiTuber-
culosis Lea que of which William j..
Willsey is the executive secretary,
and are used for the care of people
suffering with tuberculosis Great
good has been done by this league
during the past year and unless it
has the money with which to con-
tinue this work the people of the
county as a whole suffer. The fol-
Toolan, of this city. to the league
the purchasers recognize the worth
mess of this work:
Enclosed find check for the sum
of two dollars for the stamps for
warded to me. This small Gift
make with the greatest of pleasure
because the cause is certainly a most
worthy one. and deserves a more
generous support from all the people
of the County of Middlesex"
Middlesex county has been allotted
$4,000 which is expected to be
raised by the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals. The sale of the
stamps in the banks. stores and post
office will begin next week

NEW CITY CLERK
ASHANSON DOES
NOT SEEK OFFICE
Arthur Graham Mentioned for
the Position at $4,000 Yearly
BUDGET ACTION TONIGHT
Likely That Other City Of
fices Will See No Change
Next Year

The 1920 city budget will be de-
cided upon by the Board of Aldermen
at their committee session tonight and
owing to the proposed increases in
salaries to various city employees and
the increased cost OF materials, this
amount promises to be far in excess
of Perth Amboy's largest budget of
past years There is little doubt but
what 1t will be over the $1,000.000
mark.
The aldermen have been working
for about two weeks, securing esti-
mates of running expenses from the
various other city boards, and at the
committee session held on Tuesday
night considerable headway was made
in getting an estimated grand total.
The matter of appointments for the
coming year is expected to be settled
by the aldermen shortly, and owing
to the fact that the Republicans still
retain control OF the city it is likely
that the present selective office hold
ers will remain in office.
John Hanson, Jr., who has held the
Office of City Clerk since 1917 with
the exception of the time when he
was in the service during which
Arthur E. Graham temporarily held
the POSITIONS mot out for reappoint-
ment to that position this year. he has
announced. Mr.. Hanson stated this
morning that he was not certain at
present what business he would take
up but declared for the time being he
viii enter the real estate field with
his father, John Hanson, Sr., Mr.. Han
son succeeded Wilbur LalRoe as city
clerk when the Republicans came in
10 control of the city in 1917 and the
Democratic office holders ousted.
Although the aldermen have not
mentioned a successor to fill Mr.. Han
sons place 1t is understood that Ar
thur Graham, who at present Is sec
Setary to Mayor Frank Dorsey, will be
eppointed 10 that office. Mr. Graham
has several months experience in this
office while City Clerk Hanson was in
the service and is considered to be well
adapted for the position.
A change has been made this year
10y the aldermen with regards to the
salary of the city clerk. Commencing
the first Of the year the city clerk
will be paid a fiat salary of $3.50 a
month, he receiving no fees in addi-
tion to this amount. Up till now the
city clerk has received fees from the
state, county and city for various
forms of licenses and work which
passed through his office. Under the
new ruling all Of the fees wila go into
the city treasury and the city clerk
will receive $1,000 year regardless Of
what the fees amount to-
1t is understood that the other Of
flce holders appointed by the party
in power will continue in office for
another year, increases in salary and
more work and responsibility being
likely.

Governor RunyOn Sends Out Let

LIFE OF STATE INDUSTRY
Conference to be Called and
Ways and Means Discussed
by officials
BIZ The Associated Press.

BIZ The Associated Press
TRENTON, Dec. 12:-GoVernor
Runyon is preparing letters to man
ufacturers throughout the state ask
ing them to send representatives to q
conference he proposes to call to
discuss ways and means of keeping
foreign labor in New Jersey. AL
though the exact date of the confer
ence has not been determined it Is
said the meeting would be held in the
near future.
With the remainder OF the country.
this state is suffering from scarcity
of this labor because so many for
eignerS have returned to their home
countries since the signing Of the
armistice and many more have signi-
fed their intention OF leaving for their
native land. In view of the serious
situation which is now presented and
the more acute condition the indus
tries of the state when q large mum
Der of alien laborers leave, the gov
ernor has deemd it advisable to have
conference in the belief, that some
plan will be devised to stop the flow
of labor out of New Jersey. One of
the plans to be considered, it is under
stood, will be the placing before the
class affected the exact conditions
abroad since the termination of hos
tilities in the hope that the induce
ments to migrate will be greatly min
imized.
TIE effect of prohibition on the
foreign labor will no doubt be dis
cussed, as one of the probable causes
for the dearth Of foreign labor in
this state, a large number of those
returning to their native lands hav-
ing given this as the chief reason for
quitting the country. 1t is believed
however, that a wish to see their
home land again is also responsible,
and this, coupled with the fact that
during the war this class Of labor has
accumulated savings. which, 1t is now
desired to spend at home, has added
to the inducements that are taking
overseas.
