CABLE WORKS SHUT DOWN
ONE DAY; CUT IN BUSINESS

Owing to the reduction in the
amount of business being done at the
Standard Underground Gable Works
plant here, practically the entire
plant shut down this morning for the
day. About 1000 of the employees
were affected by this shutdown.
If business does not increase during
the next week il is probable that
the plant will shut down on other
days. The works have not shut down
permanently as operations will be
started again on Monday but these
"off days" are likely weekly unless
more orders than are coming in dt
present are received.
The Atlantic Terra Gotta Com
any. whose plant No. 2 is at Buck
ingham avenue and High street. will
not be in operation from today noon
till Wednesday morning. i. ID. Buch-
rnan. superintendent of the factory,
said that the closing of the plant for
this period was due to the fact that
Tuesday was holiday and the Of
ficials thought ii advisable to give
the men an extra day off.

POST
TALKS BONUS
But Will Not Join as a Post
in the Parade to be Held in
New York City.

Business and pleasure were the
order at the first October meeting
of Perth Amboy Post 4 10 of the Amer
lean Legion held in the Y. NJ. &. A..
auditorium last night, and from all
indications a great deal of interest
is being aroused in the activities of
the Post. Vice Commander Elmer
Larson presided in the absence of
Commander n. W. Pierce who was
absent on important business.
Perhaps one of the most interest
ing discussions provoked last night
was when the subject of the bonus
parade, to be held in New York on
October 16, was brought up. The
members differed greatly upon the
advisability of participating in the
parade as a post although the post
has gone en- record as favoring the
bonus. The final motion that was
made that the post attend in body,
was voted down, but the members
can participate as individuals if they
so desire.
The post also sanctioned the action
taken by the executive committee at
its last meeting to hold a dance at
Palace hall on armistice night. Due
to the kindness of the Junior Order,
the hall will be lent to the post with
out any charge and because of the
great lack of funds in the treasury
at the present time, the offer was
most opportune and was gratefully
received. A committee will be named
by Commander Pierce and plans
made to be put into working order
Immediately.
Announcement was made last night
of the offer of Isaac Alpern to furnish
the Legion standard to the post which
will probably be presented on Arm
istice Day. The post, however, is still
in need of the national flag.
The latter half of the evening was
taken up entirely by entertainment
and a particularly fine program of
considerable length was given by
some of the members and friends
of the post.
Miss Ethel Killion. whose work
among the vocal talent of Perth Am
boy is well known, had expressed a
Willingness to all In her power for
the ex-service men and at consider
able inconvenience, attended the
meeting last night with two of her
pupils, Misses Mary Lewis and Mary
Higgins and were greatly appreciated
by the boys. Miss Kilion herself
sang II Hear You Calling Me-" and
the Last Rose of Summer" as solos
and "Roses of Picardy" in duet with
Miss Lewis. Miss Lewis did thorough
justice to the favorite "Laddie" and
Miss Higgins quaint little Irish bal
lads touched the right spot with the
boys.
G. II. Kalquist, insurance officer
of the post, and Mrs. Kalquist render
ed two violin and piano duets which
were heartily received. Both MIR.
and Mrs. Kalquist Immediately won
the praise of the post which was
grateful to learn that is has such
talent in its midst.
Jim Nevins, the tall tale teller"
of Brooklyn. greatly amused the
members and the guests by his
humorous and pathetic tales" which
he told IN two "spasms."
Doughnuts and coffee were served
after the entertainment and informal
singing with Frank Foye at the piano
ut an air of good comradeship TO
the meeting. 1t is expected that
here will be entertainment and re-
freshments of some kind after each
of the meetings which will be made
as interesting as last nights.

TO ORGANIZE CIVIC
WORK next WEEK AS
new MEMBERS GROW
American City Bureau Field
Secretary Coming Here to
Put Chamber on a Real
Working Basis.
TO DRAW UP BY LAWS
C. C. Baldwin Outlines Needs
of City, New Ferry to Stat
en- Island is Urged.

Meigs b. Russell. field secretary
of the American City Bureau. is ex-
pected in Perth Amboy the first OF
next week to take up the work of
reorganization of the Chamber of
Commerce Immediately upon the
close of the drive for membership.
The reorganization work will include
the adoption of a constitution and by
laws, the election of new board OF
directors, the preparation of pro-
gram of work, and other details. II
will last month.
1--WE need other industries here"
said c. G. Baldwin, manager of the
Standard Underground Cable Conn
pany, last night, when discussing the
reorganization of the Chamber of
Commerce. "A Chamber of Com.
merce can do much in this direction.
They are needed to reduce taxation.
The greater the number of industries.
the higher the average of valuations.
and consequently. the lower the rate
of taxes.
Then we need a greater unifica-
ton of the spirit of the community.
We need to get together better. Then
we can pull all together and make
greater progress. Development of the
water front is another thing which
the Chamber of Commerce can aid
in accomplishing. There is hardly
town in the country better located
for water transportation than Perth
Amboy.
"A park system is need of Perth
Amboy. Not only should there be
some kind of a park along the water
front, but there should be play
grounds for the children. Most
cities the size of Perth Amboy have
parks and Fairgrounds. A live
Chamber of Commerce could secure
a new railroad station. We very much
need one. The present station is an
eye sore. Practically all trains
should be taken up by the new
Chamber of Commerce.
Some win smile, perhaps, when
urge an improvement of the ferry
service TO Tottenville. Two ferries
would help advertise the town and
| incline more people to come this
way. The automobile route down
Staten Island is not only shorter, but
better and more beautiful. Tho
present inadequate ferry service IL
like the neck of a bottle which dis
courages automobile travel by way
of Perth Amboy. One day last sum-
automobiles strung out along ths
highway for a mile waiting for An
opportunity to cross to New Jersey
There are many things that live
Chamber of Commerce can do

Atlantic Deeper Waterways
Association Acts on Pro-
posed lntra- Coastal Canal

One of the principal resolutions
adopted by the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association at the closing
session of its convention in Atlantic
City yesterday was one urging that
congress incorporate in the next
Rivers and Harbors bill a provision
to approve the project for modern

pointed out the operation of the canal
would make possible safe and direct
communication between the navy
yards from Philadelphia to Boston.
The association also went on record
declaring that the coast line from
Maine to Key West must be main
tanned in state of readiness for
defense in case there should be an
attack by hostile sea power.
Mayor Moore, of Philadelphia, WAS
reelected president of the associa-
tion. Mayor Frederick w. Donnelly,
of Trenton, was one of the presidents
atslarge elected by the convention.

Vice Versa; New Ruling.

Beginning on November 8. tickets
purchased at the Central Railroad of
New Jersey station here, will be good
only ON the trains for which they
are purchased. This was the in
formation obtained at the station to
day, and means that If one purchases

only be good on Pennsylvania trains.
and those who purchase a Central
Railroad ticket will find it good only
on the Central trains.
When the government took over
the railroads during the war, tickets
purchased from the Central station
were then good only on the trains for
which they were purchased, but with
in short time. the government
ordered that the tickets would be
good on any train stopping at the
Centra! station. and the government
ruling has remained in force up until
the present time, when the new order
has come through telling of the old
order of things going back in force.
Under the new order. the ticket
agent. when one steps to the window
TO purchase tickets will inquire if the
purchaser desires a ticket for a
Central or Pennsylvania train. and as

that the timetable be consulted al

In the case one purchases return

same road he went. and cannot
choose his train as Is now the case.
Monthly com mutation tickets have
never been good on both roads when
purchased from this station and
about ninety people who reside here
and purchase commutation tickets,
