fore noon today, by the employees of
the plant who congregated to hear the
message of former senator Cartwright.
| At the Copper Works. former Sen
ator Cartwright took or-hisN subject,
the opportunities of America for the
working man. stating that in almost
every case, mans success depends
entirely upon himself. Success in
America" Mr.. Cartwright said. de
pends upon three things. First. do
ing thing to the best of ones ability;
second, learning to save; third using
ones head for something besides a
hat rack"

of the richest men of the country,
showing how success came to them.
Nine out of ten of the wealthiest men
in the country started from the grass
roots and worked their way to great
success. Mr.. Cartwright said that he
believes that very few of these mSn
came by their fortunes dishonesty
and that the three first points he men
toned were responsible for their pres

and Swab's and Carnegie's sterling In
tegrity which allowed them to pass
through the door of opportunity which
/ is open to ALL" in Mr.. Cartwright's
opinion.

fact that except in very few cases.
which are the accidents TO be expected

full measure according to the effort

| Meeting at East Jersey Club
Evils of Radicalism and means
! through which its doctrine may be
prevented from gaining headway
among the people of this country
were brought to the attention of the
business men of Perth Amboy last
night at a dinner and meeting held
in the East Jersey Club. Former
Senator Cartwrights subject was
| Mutual Interests of Labor and Cap
iital."
| If ever there was a man with a
message, 1t is this man from the
West, and for an hour and three
quarters he delivered his arguments
with a punch that kept his listeners
on the edges of their seats from
the opening word to the concluding
sentence.
The speaker was introduced BY I.
T. Madsen. president of the Cham
ber of Commerce. The meeting was
opened by A. c. Clark, of the .Raritan
| Copper Works. who-made a few brief
remarks on behalf of the Industrial
association of Perth Amboy and then
introduced Mr. Madsen.
| The introductions being short, the
senator got away to flying start. He
says he Is not a candidate for any
office. has nothing to sell, is not going
to take up collection, so feels as
independent as a pig on ice," so If
| there ever was a time In his life
when he could tell the truth he could
do IT now. and If he hurt any ones
feelings they would have to grin and
bear 1t.
II am profoundly interested in the
future OF this country. I am pro-
foundly interested in our people and
, believe today America Is on trial
| for her life."
| Then with series of stories and
| illustrations he pointed out the great
mistakes we have been making. "For
| two thousand years." continued the
| speaker, 1--WE have been trying TO
help the little men by DESTROYING the
opportunity of the men of genius.
| Might as well try to make sick man
we'll by giving medicine to the well
man and make him sick.
| zone of the greatest errors we
| have to contend with today Is the
continual, or what is called the ire
J pressible conflict between labor and
capital. This should not be, and the
peace and prosperity of the country
| will depend upon whether or not
labor and capital will put their feet
under the same table and figure out
/ their mutual interest instead of fight
(, ing out their imaginary differences.
| For forty years we have been follow
| ing the fighting methods by using the
! policemen's clubs and jail sentence
| on one side and the strikes and syn
-dicalism and sabotage on the other
| and the result has been nothing but
| lot of broken noses on one side and
| busted. bank accounts on the other
and the inevitable high cost of living.
There is scientific wage and a
scientific hour. and 1t is up to us to
| get our heads together and work this
! out on scientific basis. One thing
! that we must concede is that the
| problems of capital and labor must
be solved right and must be solved
on the basis of a square deal for ALL
Tonight at 8 o'clock Senator Cart
wright is to deliver an address at the
| high school auditorium at Perth Am.
| boy under the auspices of the Perth
Amboy Chamber of Commerce. and
the Chamber of Commerce hopes
| that every citizen in Perth Amboy
that can. come will be there to hear
| this inspiring westerner at that time,
as they will hear a message that will
not only run true to form. but. will
give them something to think about
| for many days to come.
