WAREHOUSE IS
CLEANED OUT
"Tip" That Government Pro-
hibition Agents Plan Raid
Results in Quick CIeanOut

Those having booze illegally
stored in this city were given big
fright yesterday as result of the
sudden appearance of the fourteen
government prohibition officers who
removed from the storehouse of
Frank Gold, Inc, in New Brunswick
avenue, liquor valued at more than
100000. Word of the presence of
the government men in the city on
Monday night spread quickly among
the 'bootleggers" and those having
quantities of booze on hand in vari-
Gus storage places and throughout
the night there was considerable
activity on the part of many in
transporting their goods to some
point outside of the city.
Yesterday afternoon the ware
house of Max Shapiro in New
Brunswick avenue was visited by
about fifteen cars-all of the sedan
or roadster type-and the occupants
proceeded to load up their cars and
drive away. No report of these
activities was made at police head
quarters and the men were not
molested i'll moving the goods. Con-
siderable excitement was caused by
the activities about the Shapiro
storehouse yesterday afternoon and
1T was rumored around that Tip"
had been received to the effect that
the government agents were going
to raid the place.

MANY THROWN OUT OF
WORK IN new YORK CITY

BY The Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Nov. 10:-Nearly
100000 members of the United
Hebrew Trades in New York state
have been thrown out of work in
the past three weeks of steady busi-
ness recession, Norris Feinstone,
associate secretary of the organiza-
tion, announced here today. OF
these 10000 are tailors and cloth
and dress goods makers, mostly in
greater New York
The figures include about rs per
cent. of the tailor and cloth and
dress goods workers in the union,
Mr.. Feinstone said, adding that the
United Hebrew Trades includes
more than 250.000 men and women
throughout the state.
Employers say business is slack .
he said. Some of them have closed
their factories, later requesting the
employees to return to their jobs at
a lower wage scale, asserting that
they can expect cheap orders if la
Dor costs less.
Every trade is affected by the
slump in business" he said, adding
that none of our people are going
to accept lower wages until the cost
of living has gone down so they can
do SO without lowering their STAN
dard of living

REPAIRS TO CITY DOCK
HAVE BEEN COMPLETED

The repairs to the portion of the
city dock which caved in several
weeks ago have been completed so
that the entire dock is again in first
class condition and in readiness to
again support all traffic. The south
ern portion of the dock was con-
demned by the Board of Harbor
Commissioners last month after a
large automobile truck had crashed
through the dock. 1t was found
that the bulkhead had rotted away
and several of the piles and string
ers needed to be replaced. The
contract for making the repairs was
awarded to the East Jersey Bridge
Company which got to work on the
repairs at once and quickly COM
pleted them.
This dock is the source of a big
revenue into the city treasury and
with part of the dock blocked 1t
represented a big daily loss to the
city. Now, however, the entire dock
S again in a condition to warrant
normal traffic. Owing to the fact
that much shipping is done from
this dock in the winter when the
Raritan river is frozen, the harbor
commissioners lost little time in get
ting it in the best possible condi-
ton.

Cut Down Number of Legisla-
tive Employees, Senator
Elect Parry Tells Whitney

BY The Associated Press.
TRENTON. Nov. 10--In a letter
to Senator Arthur Whitney, of Nor
ris county, chairman of the joint leg
islative appropriations committee,
Senator-elect William III. Parry, of
Essex county. called attention to the
matter of reducing the number of
legislative employees for whom the
civil service commission recently
pointed out, Parry said, New Jersey
paid four times as much per day as
the state of Wisconsin.
Parry quoted "some one" as hav-
ing said the senator was entitled to
secretary, a doorkeeper and a page
and added that "if it is felt that the
efficiency of senator requires three
attendants, it would seem that a
barber, a bootblack and a manacur-
list would be more useful"
Parry stated that the salaries of
the members of the 1920 legislature
amounted to $40,S33.32, while the
compensation for the legislative off,
GERS and employees was $4,000. He
concluded:
THE 1920 platform of the Repub-
lican party pledged the Republicans
to conduct public business of the
state on the lines of the said type of
modern business, eliminating waste.
II might be we'll for the 1920 leGis-
lature to catch the spirit of economy
at the start of the session while TAX
ing substantial reduction in the
number of legislative employees. In
these days of mounting taxes, the
pruning knife should be used fear
lessly on useless Offices"
