MANY FORMER SOLDIERS
GET INSURANCE AID

persons wishing to receive advice
on the government insurance plan,
the postoffice building was open till
. o'clock last night. 1t was by far
the busiest meeting of far held. and
over $1,000.000 worth of insurance
was reinstated and converted in the
course of the afternoon and even
ing. The small force taking care
OF this work is being taxed to the
limit, and Il call has been sent out
for volunteers to help in this work.
There are two more days left in
which to take advantage of the adj
vice and help given at the meetings
in the postoffice building.
William Fraser, of Fraser Broth
ers, and William Dalton, of the Me-
ropolitan Life Insurance, are now
assisting in the work in addition to
the others now on the staff, and 1t is
expected that more help will be ac-
quired to take care of the final rush.
Much interest is being shown in
South Amboy. Woodbridge and New
Brunswick by the ex-service men in
the insurance plan. In New Bruns-
wick the banks have taken up the
idea of getting the ex-service men
to hold on to their policies, and are
advertising the advantages the gov
ernment plan offers. The postofiicc
building here will be open from Z
to $50: o'clock this evening to con-
tinue helping in the insurance drive.

BRITISH COAL
STRIKE ENDS
Miners Will Return to Work
Under Certain Conditions
London Reports Today.

BY The associated Press
LONDON, oct. 2s-The strike of
coal miners throughout England
and Wales was settled this after
i,oen. but the settlement is contin-
gent on a ballot of miners.
1t was the concensus of opinion
that the hitch in the negotiations
contain the ratio to be maintained
between wages and revenues derived
from coal, but the precise form Of
the new demand which seems to
have emanated from delegates of
wealthy miners is different in va
rious quarters. In sources which
are usually informed accurately it
asserts an agreement had been
reached if coal revenues should fall
below a certain point wages should
be reduced a six pence per shift.
The miners assert conversely If rev
nues should rise, they would receive
a corresponding wage increase. 1t is
said the government thought this
had been agreed upon and it was
completely astorished when the
miners put forward a new demand.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Oct. Is
Franklin d. Roosevelt in his address
here this afternoon at Montalvo's
hall, after being introduced by for
mer State Senator w. Edwin Flor
ance as the next vice president of
the United States" stated that the
Republican campaign against the
league of nations has been one OF
Misrepresentation, to the French
people of this country, the Republi-
cans have stated that If the league
went through, France would be
crushed; to the German people, the
Republicans have told that Ger
many would be crushed IL the league
went through. while to the Italians
the Republicans have promised
.Fiume IL Harding is elected, and
they have made the same promise
to the Jugo-Slavs in this country.
The Democratic vice president
candidate told the audience that Cox
or Harding will be the next pres
ident. and stated that IL Harding is
elected, the country will not be de-
stroyed altogether, but that the Re-
publican party will be split, the
johnson group standing for one
thing and the Taft group for anoth-
er, and incidentally nothing would be
accomplished.
The vice president candidate cited
many examples whereby the consti-
tuition of this country and the pro-
posed league of nations are alike. He
also pointed out the offense caused
by the Republican cartoon published
In Harvey's Weekly. not only TO The
Catholic people but to all religions.
Mr.. Roosevelt stated that the Re-
publican congress had accomplished
nothing during their term of office so
as to discourage the Democratic
president.
Tonight in Montalvo's Auditorium
the Democrats will hold another
meeting, at which two national COM
mittee speakers will make the main
addresses Mrs. Helena Simmons.
