LARSON MAKES
ECONOMY STAND
Will Work for Reduction of
Taxes, G. 0. P. Candidate
for State Senate Says

Morgan F. Larson. Republican
candidate for state senator, sounded
the keynote of his campaign plat
form last night in an address to the
members of the Perth Amboy Re-
publican Club when he spoke in
favor of rigid economy. the eXpend-
iture of money for necessary i'm
provements only and drastic action
to reduce city, state and national
taxes. He emphasized the fact that
he was not using these phrases as
catch words in his campaign in order
to gather in votes but really meant
what he said and promised if elect
ed to carry out his ideas. as express
ed by him last night. to the letter.
Mr.. Larson said he had nc pet
"idealsstic legislation that he want
ed to put through but would con-
fine his efforts TO a purely business
administration in which the lower
ing OF taxes and reducing the state
expenses would be his main object.
If elected. the Republican candidate
promised, he will be on the lookout
for the interest of the people of
Middlesex county and will "let the
rest of the senators know he is there
and that Middlesex is on the map"

ACT TO RELIEVE
UNEMPLOYMENT
Initial Steps to Formulate
Plan Tonight at Meeting at
City Hall
REDUCTION OF PRICES
Expected That Business Men,
Industrial Bodies and City
Officials Will Attend

Initial steps will be taken tonight
at the conference called by Mayor
William c. Wilson to formulate
some plan whereby the, present un-
employment condition now existing
here can be relieved both by furnish
ing work and reducing the prices
of essentials. The meeting will be
held in the city hall council chamber
at s o'clock and it Is expected that
representatives of the various whole
sale and retail businesses will be on
hand together with industrial repre-
sentatives, city officials. unoin dele
gates and others. Invitations have
been sent out to forty or more per-
sons to attend.
The situation here is not as criti-
cal as in many of the eastern states.
Mayor Wilson stated today in dis
cussing the subject, but with the
coming of cold weather something
must be done to prevent the occur
renee of serious conditions which
are possible if work cannot be OBJ
tanned and the prices of the necessi-
ties of life are too high. Secretary
of Commerce Herbert Hoover has
sem the mayor numerous sugges-
tions and these will be outlined to-
night at the meeting.
1t is probable that an emergency
committee will be named tonight to
act in this matter and see what can
be done to relieve the unemploy-
ment conditions here. Building of
all kinds will be urged in order that
work might be furnished and the
money put in circulation. Factories
will be asked TO build additions or
extensions if possible. thus furnish
ing work for more men. Merchants,
both retailers and wholesalers. will
be requested to get together in order
that rock-bottom prices might be de-
cided upon so as to give the people
the biggest values for their money.

statement issued late yesterday by

TRENTON, Oct. 14:-Monday has
been fixed by the federal court as
the time when argument IN the de-
cree carrying out the eight cent

All counsel interested, including At

NEW ATTACKS MADE IN FARE F|GH'
SAYS DEALERS
ASKED HIM TO STOP
SELLING COAL 10 MEN

Charges by Counsel Wood Mckee of the Mackay legisla-
tive committee, investigating the coal situation here yes
terday, that one of the witnesses appeared to be hiding some
thing, and inside information concerning the disseminating
by the plants of the city of the practice of selling coal at cost
to their employees, was the principal facts brought out during
the afternoon session. which lasted from 2:15 until q few
minutes before 5 o'clock.
The Evening News was lead to believe that Senator
Mackay was present at the hearing, but late yesterday, 1T was
learned that Senator Mackay was not present at the hearing.
but that Wood Mckee, of Paterson, counsel of the commit
tee, was acting as chairman during the hearing. The names
Mackay and Mckee also led to the confusion. There was
considerable speculation as to whether or not the session OF
the committee was legal, due to the fact that only Assembly
man Arthur H. Nelson, of Jersey City, and Senator Thomas
Brown were present.
Counsel Mckee, when questioned today concerning the
legality of the hearing, said that it was lawful to hold the
hearing without a quorum being present, and referred to the
case of the State VS.. Booster to prove his point. According
to Mr.. Mckee, a quorum must be in attendance when the first
meeting of the committee is called, but following meetings
or hearings may be held with only one of the members OF
the committee present. The committee Mr.. Mckee, con-
tinued, has never until yesterday held a session without a
quorum being present, but as both Senator Brown, Assem-
hlyman Nelson, and others employed by the committee were
present as we'll as the coal dealers, it was thought best to 60
on with the hearing.

There were only three witnesses
heard yesterday afternoon, and only
one of these represented a local coal
concern. He was John Biting, as
sistant manager of c. NJ. Peterson
Company. The other witnesses were
A. Clayton Clark manager of the
Raritan Copper Works and Theo-
dore A. Leber. a coal dealer of Port
Reading.
II was impossible to learn where
the next meeting of the committee
will be held, but from what informa-
ton was ~obtainable it is likely that
il will be held in the city Of Trenton,
at which time the dealers not heard
yesterday will be called TO testify at
that place. All the dealers in the
city were supplied with s~ubpoenas,
the majority of them receiving the
slips of paper only a few minutes
before it was time for the hearing
TO commence. Frank Dorsey of the
firm of Z. J. Dorsey & Son was the
only dealer to be subpoenaed prior
to yesterday.
A. Clayton Clark of the Raritan
Copper Works YEA the first witness
called yesterday afternoon. As man
aEer of the plan. he was asked if
he was familiar with the purchase
Of coal and he said that he vas.
He was then asked If he knew of
the custom of selling coal to en-
ployes and said that this had been
the practice of the concern for six
or seven years and had been con-
tinued until the summer of 1919
when il was stopped.
Mr.. Clark informed the commit
tee that at the present time the
company uses no coal. OIL being used
Instead. Prior to 1919 the domestic
sizes of coal were purchased namely
for the use IL the various stoves
of the plant and for the employees.
The main coal used at the plant be-
fore the adoption of the oil burning
system was buckwheat and egg.
When asked how the price COM
pared with that charged by the
dealer, Mr.. Clark replied that this
was rather hard to explain as the
idea was to sell the coal so that
the company came out even. Mr..
Clark explained that the coal was
purchased 2,240 pounds 70 the ton
and sold at the rate of 2,240 pounds
to the ton. instead of 1000 pounds
10 the ton as is the custom of h
coal dealers. He went on to explain
how this difference in the pounds
given for a ton made about seventy
cents difference in the price of n
coal when purchased from the deal
CIR and the plant. He said that the
company, by selling coal 10 the en-
ployes. probably saved them from
S1.75 to So a ton
Mr.. Clark was asked why the
Copper Works had finally stopped
selling cOel to the employees and
stated that there were several rea-
sons. One was hat the company
experienced considerable trouble in
getting the coal from the mines.
According TO Mr. Clark the mines
showed considerable hesitancy in
selling the company coal and rs
mines on one occasion told the pur-
chasing agent that the plant must
