CONTINUE TO BOOM
BROWN IN MONMOUTH

The boom for Senator Brown for
the nomination of congressman on
the Democratic ticket IN the third
congressional district, which was
started in Monmouth county. has
continued to grow and although
other candidates are talked of by
party leaders. Brown still seems to
be the most popular. There Is some
talk that Thomas p. Fay, of Long
Branch. may seek the nomination
unless he is again a candidate for
the state senatorship. for which
office he was defeated in the cleo
tion last fall.
Although Senator Brown and
Mayor Frank Dorsey. of this city.
are being talked of as likely candi-
dates, no word is forthcoming from
either of them as to whether or
not they will enter the race. It Is
also impossible to obtain anything
of a definite nature from the party
leaders in either Middlesex or Mon
mouth counties and It Is not likely
that any new move will be made
toward the selection of a congress
sional candidate In the third district
until after the presidential nominal
ton has been ma1e and the plat
form decided upon.

Wage Increase of Five Cents
Hour and Seniority Rights
Granted by J. C. T. Co.
ey specIal correspondsn..

BY Special Correspondent.
kEYPORT, July IAN agree
ment was reached late yesterday at
ternoon between the striking train
men of the Jersey Central Traction
Company and the officials of that
company, whereby the wage in
creases demanded by the men were
met and seniority rights were
granted. but the company contin-
ues its open shop" policy, refus-
ing to recognize the union.
The increase granted averaged
about five cents an hour. Under the
new schedule of wages men will
receive forty-six cents an hour dur
ing their first month of service with
the company, forty-eight cents an
hour during the next eight months
fifty cents and hour after one years
service For over time the trolley
men will receive sixty cents an hour.
These new wages are to be effective
for one year. <s
On June ! the pay of the train-
men was increased to forty one
cents an hour for the first three
months, forty-three cents and hour
for the next six months and forty
five. cents an hour for those in the
service one year. For those work.
ing two years or more forty-stx
cents an hour was established as the
rate.
1t was said last Saturday when
the trainmen walked out that the
main object of their action was TO
receive recognition of the union.
This was the one clause which the
company officials would not agree
to. however. as they will continue
to abide by the open shop
method Of employing any men they
desire and dispensing with the SER
vices of all those who do not sat
isfy..
The seniority rights given the men
make Is possible for those with the
company the longest to select their
routes. Formerly this was done by
assignment by the trolley dispatcher

Keyport and Matawan were started
in service at O'Clock last night.
The long line trips to Perth Amboy

You like screen comedy that is
different; comedy that IS always "in
character" that springs from the ac-
tors in the story and their characters.
It's the kind of comedy that is chuck
full of chuckles, smiles, laughs and
bursts of honest merriment. That's
what you will find in Goldwyn's new
Will Rogers Comedy, Cupid, the
Cowpuncher," adapted from Eleanor
Gates truthful, whimsically humor-
Gus comedy of cowboy life called
ALEC Lloyd, Cowpuncher," which
comes to the Palace theater Satur-
day.
You know Will Rogers. His lariat
throwing exhibitions, accompanied by
quaint comedy sayings have made his
name a household word throughout
the country. He has proved just and
always human just the quality that
appeals to every member of the fam
lily.
viii Rogers in cupid, the Cow
puncher," is a gale of merriment
blown in on western, whirlwind of
laughter. Here you have star whose
