Pennsylvania authorities from max
ing arrests and arraigning the men
before the federal judge in Phila-
delphia.
Something seems to be radically
wrong when we contrast the action Of
the Perth Amboy authorities in the
matter of law enforcement with the
action Of the Pennsylvania authori-
ties. Why should there be this diff
ference?
In the meantime Perth Amboy is
more and more dragged into dis
repute before the country as being
la headquarters for the "whiskey
ring" Mighty little regard there
tafickers have for the good nfme of
the place in which they live. No
other city in this section Of the coun-
try is mentioned so often as is Perth
Amboy in this regard. The name
Perth Amboy has come to be almost
synonymous with "bo~otlegging."
What chance is there for Perth
Amboy to maintain her reputation
for being a peacemaking city, a city
of high character and good repute,
"a city in which honest. lawabiding,
high class, respectable people want
to live and bring up a family, under
such conditions?
Granted that those engaged in this
lawless business care nothing for the
.city's reputation as long as they
make a few paltry dollars, what
about those in authority that they
permit this thing to go OF so open
ly and %brazenly? What about the
people generally that they do not
rise UP and assert themselves TO
compel the authorities to act for the
sake of the good name of the city
which they call home?
Hasn't Perth Amboy been disgrace
eu eHOusH. Is lHtIe hO SlNiO piidS
whatever here? What's the use of
trying to make Perth Amboy a worth
while place to live in If those now
livig here don't care a rap what
rest of the country think of them?
Are the sensibilities of the author
tiles and the people generally so dead
that in order that a few whiskey
sellers and "bootleggers' may get
rich the city can be made a by-word
for lawlessness and booze all Eel
this section of the country and moth
ing be done about 1t locally?
There is one sign of an awakening.
however, in the letter which Samuel
Wilson, of the Anti-Saloon League.
writes to Prosecutor Stricken and
which the EVENING NEWS pub
fishes today. Apparently somebody
is writing to this organization calling
attention to the lawlessness in this
section. They have probably des-
of any effective action on the
part of the local authorities and
while it is known that the Anti
Saloon League can do nothing except
prod the authorities, it is very
effective in %arousing public senti-
ment.
The facts set forth in the letter to
Prosecutor Stricken are NJ idle
dream although they refer more par
ticularly to the retail liquor business
in saloons rather than the boot
Logging" OF course. it is the duty Of
the loca, authorities to act first. and
Prosecutor Stricken has given them
warning. But when they fail to heed
the warning it begins to look as if it
was up to the prosecutor to- make
the next move.

Big Time Planned For
Messrs Hall and Verret.

Mr.. j. f. Verret and Mr.. Harvey
Hill left Saturday for Chicago to at
tend the Annual Grand Lodge Con-
ventlon of the B. P O. EIks, which
will meet in that city from July 9TH
, through the 10th.
very elaborate program has been
arranged for the delegates, including
boat excursions on Lake Michigan
athletic contests, cowboy frontier ex-
hibitions, spectacular aviation con-
tests by hydroaeroplanes over Lake
Michigan, and trip over the city's
great 10 miles boulevard system.
On the night Of J4iy eth, the parade
entitled American Sm' "ill take place.
Thirty one State lodge and probably
more local lodges wlil have decorated
and illuminated floats in the proces-
sion. which is expected to be the
greatest parade of its kind ever staged
In America
After the convention the EIks will
take a tour of the North and East,
taking in Niagara Falls, points in Can
ada, Hudson River Valley and New
York City.
Prof. T.. NJ. Bahon, now attending
Chicago University, will also attend

the number of extremely neat and
beautifully kept yards in New Iberia
and even the ladies of the Council
were greatly surprised after corr pletinq
thetr tour. 1t is the candid opinion OF
AL, that II would be practically impos.
slble to find city of this size any.
where to surpass New Iberia in this
particular line of improvement.
After going the entire round of all
the streets the Board of Directors re-
turned TO headquarters and cast Sc
cret ballot for first and second prizes
1t was hard matter for some to de-
cide, but the votes when counted
showed majority for the beautiful
yard OF Mrs. Jack Blanc, on West
Main Street, who had specialized on
Salyias, and Mrs. Tom Conrad's yard
or Mnias was awarded the second
honors. A long list of close contend
ers deserve special mention, also, but
some one had to win, and these two
ladies were just enough better TO get
the decision.
The prizes will be awarded to the
winners at the next regular meeting
OF the Women's Council.
The contest proved to be a great
success, and undoubtedly resulted il
great deal of good for the city as a
whole.

Women's Flower Contest
Success. Prizes Awarded.
BOARD of Directors Make Inspection Tour of En-

Early in the Spring, it will be re-
u,ambered. the Women's Council in
ou0urated campaign for the planting
of flowers, Zinias and Salvias espe-
.;o,,v ia the yards Of our New iberia
homes, and offered prizes for the pret-
test displays of these two varieties Of
flowers.
On Wednesday afternoon the Board
of fDirectors of the Women's Council
made tour OF inspection of the entire
o,ty for the purpose Of choosing the
sinners of the prizes.
Making the trip in automobiles fur
,;shed by Mrs Chas. A. Provost and
Ma KYLE, they spent the entire after
aoon nm 10 this work. So many. and so
voried. we're the displays. that
choice seemed almost impossible. In
ali their trip along our city streets
ssarcely one yard was found without
~ heds OF flowers. Many of the pret-
,;est wards did not have either of the
10 varieties of flowers entered in the
contest. and so had to be eliminated
from the voting. but their owners are
ceyertheless TO be congratulated on
he beauty of the premises.

Local Members Stand With Rest of Nation on
Subject. Body Still Growing

The New iberia Chamber of Com
Imerce last Tuesday night went Off
cially ON record, in favor Of the open
shop when that body met in open
session and voted on Referendums
Numbers 81 and 80 of the United
/ States Chamber of Commerce in the
affirmative. Referendum number 81
on the report of the Committee on
i Industrial relations regarding en-
ployment relations contained twelve
clauses, and each clause was taken
and voted on a paragraph at a time.
Not one dissenting vote was recorded.
in the twelve clauses, showing bey-
ond peradventure which way the wind
was blowing.
| Referendum number 80 on the re-
port Of the Special Committee on
Public Utilities concerning regulation
Of employment relations to Public
Service Corporations included just
two pointed paragraphs and was vot-
ed on favorably in unison, the body
actually taking the affirmative in one
voice.
These two referendum votes were
most important at this time, owing to
the maHy strikes impending both on
Public Service Corporations and semi
Public Service Corporations and if
the majority of two thirds either in
favor or against these two referen-
dums are received in Washington at
the United States Chamber of Com
merce headquarters both the United
States Congress and Senate will be
requested to legislate against further
troubles from those quarters. Once
the referendums become law all un-
ions and organizations of similar
character must live up to all con-
tracts as per the written law.
1t was surprising last Tuesday
night to see the small but enthusi-
astic assemblage in the Chamber of
Commerce office voice opinions in this
regard. A tremendous assemblage
was expected to be on hand, but some
of our merchants probably overlook
ed the call and were more interested
in securing their goods than appears
on the surface.
Considering the Importance of the
issue at hand the showing of the
merchants at the meeting was disap-
pointing to say the least. The time
to strike blow against Bolshevism
is NOW-not when we are again
throttled by unpatriotic demonstra-
tions as has occurred in various parts

BRICK PAVING WORK WILL BE
RESUMED MONDAY.

Since our last issue one more car of
having bricks has arrived for the
work on Main Street, and to add to
the Frightening of prospects for a
rapid completion Of the contract, in
formation has been received to the
effect that several additional cars
have been shipped and will arrive on
the job during the coming week.
Messrs. Richie Brothers, the con-
tractors, have decided to resume oper-
ations on next Monday, July 5th, as
enough material is already on hand
now to cover up as far as Bridge
Street. They are depending on the
continued arrival of material now to
keep their forces reasonably busy un-
til the job is finished.
It must be said in behalf of the
contractors and brick manufacturers
that delay in freight shipments has
been an unavoidable source of trou-
bic thus far. The last car of brick
to arrive had been on the road fully
thirty days when it finally reached
New iberia. Making all reasonable
allowances fer congested railroad
conditions, no more than six or eight
days should be required from Thurber
Texas, where the bricks are being

made, to New IBERIA.
In hopes Of getting better service a
change Of routing has been made.
and if the expectations are realized
the brick will come in fast enough
from now on to keep the contractors
forces busy, especially as the factory
managers say that they will turn out
the brick as fast as they can be used
up. And so, if no unforeseen diff
culties arise, and present plans ma
terialize, New Iberia's Main Street
will be sporting its new dress, all
complete, within the next few weeks.
Excellent progress is being made
on the Duperier Avenue work, and
another week Of good weather will
see the curbing and cutters all COM
pleted on both sides out as far as the
Asphaltic pavement is to go,
Bids for paving Bridge Street and
East Main Street from the Post Of
flee to Bank Avenue, are now being
asked for by the City Council. The
contractors for graveling Center
Street, Iberia Street and the balance
of Duperier Avenue, may forfeit their
contract because Of market conditions
on materials.
If no bids are received for the work
on Bridge and East Main, and the
graveled streets contract is forfeited,
it is possible that the City Council
will try to purchase the materials
and do the work themselves.

Reverand Father j. NJ. Langlois, V.
G., at the conclusion of the vote con
graduated the association on its
stand in this regard and voiced the
opinion that Bolshevism might even
be considered worse than anarchy, and
that it was high time that the gov
annul its activities.
He said that he had nothing a
gainst any union or unions that band
together for their common good but
when Bolshevism stepped in it was
time to call halt "The one fault |
, find with unions is that they will not
arbitrate but insist on debating terms
instead of meeting capital half way
and patching up their differences be-
| fore it results in disaster.
"ln the referendums just read |
note that capital also has duty to
perform and must live up to its con
tract. This clearly indicates that the
brilliant minds which formulated thes
two referendums had both capital and
labor in mind when they were drawn
perform and when either fails the
public it is that suffers" Father
Langlois concluded his remarks by
saying that he was glad to know that
he was member of such an enter
prising organization as the New be
ria Chamber of Commerce and COM
plimented the board of directors on
the way the body was conducting its
affairs for the good of all.
c. w. Cultivate said that legisIa-
ton was the only means of solving
Bolshevism and that fomentors of
trouble would soon find themselves
outside the pale of society when pro
per legislation was enacted.
Mr.. Outhwaite also advocated that
a local ordinance go into effect which
will make it an offense to post stick
ers, bargain ads and posters, etc. on
the telegraph poles, especially as the
Pershing Way was now designated
through our main thoroughfare.
Mr. Hiram w. Carver, Chairman of
the Membership Committee, made the
report that the membership campaign
for the new fiscal year, beginning
July Is, was progressing favorably
and that but few of those solicited
had denied their obligation to the
City.
President Alfred Lewald presided
at the session and announced that the
election Of officers and the board of
directors for the fiscal year, begin
ming July Is, would be held on Tues
day night, July 13, and that each and
every member who had his dues paid
for 1920-1921 would be entitled to
vote at that open meeting. There
will be no nominating commiS'he
selected but the election will be
majority affair at the will of he
members However, all voters must
have paid their dues on or before
July 13.

lowing poem at the close OF the ses-
sion:
