REGISTRATION
NOT FOR STRIKE
Deny Rumors That They Are
Working Against Unenn-
pIoyment Action Here

There seems to be considerable
hesitancy on the part of the unem-
ployed in this city TO register at
the Federal State Municipal En-
ployment Office as requested to do by
those interested in overcoming the
employment problem in this city. as
discussed last Friday night at the
unemployment conference in the
city hall. According to the best fig
ures obtainable today. the total num-
ber of unemployed registered up TO
last night was 519, this is only about
e-quarter of the total said to be
idle in this city. the total being
2.770.
Those in charge of the registra-
ton expected to have at least 1000
of the total number unemployed
here, registered this week, but from
the way the registrations are coming
in at the present time. this number
will not be obtained. OF the 5l9
now estimated TO be registered. 400
registered at the federal. state. mu-
nicipal employment office and 1ls
registered at the American Legion
headquarters in the Raritan build
ing.
According to Oliver r. Hatfield,
secretary VI lllc lli0OSNA tot <Ao1O1-A
ton, the delay in registering is due
no doubt to reports that have been
spread about the city among those
who are out of work. These re-
ports, il is said. are to the effect,
that~the men are being registered to
take the places of the railroad men
when they go on strike and also for
future wars. 1t is understood that
Mayor William G. Wilson is en-
deayoring to trace these reports TO
their source. Mr. Hatfield denied
that the unemployed are being reg
istered for these purposes and stat
ed it was for the purpose of find
ing employment for the people or
this city in local industries as soon
as possible.
Mr.. Hatfield also denied the re-
port recently published in one of the
New York papers. which stated that
there are 4.510 men out of WORK
here. He pointed out that according
to the pay roll figures of those en-
ployed here in September, 1920. and
those employed during the month
lust past, showed that the present
unemployed here number not more
than 2,770. II is a.so believed that
many of the unemployed here have
gone to other places to find work
many going to the coal mines IN
Pennsylvania. as it is known that a
certain class of labor. drifts from
the various plants here TO the mines
and back again whenever there is
slack time.
