Whole State Awaits Decision
in U. S. District Court Which
is Expected Today
DECISIONS RESERVED
Injunction Issue and Admit
ting Interested Cities as
Parties to the Suit
(By Evening News Correspondent

TRENTON, Sept. 15:-The whole
state is awaiting with the keenest
interest today the decision of Judges
Woolley, Davis and Rellstab on the
question of upsetting the order of
the State Board of Public Utility
Commissioners and allowing the
Public Service Railway Company n
ten cent fare in the LAG municipal
tiles which the company serves with
its trolley lines. At the close of the
argument late yesterday afternoon
the court reserved decision both on
the main question of granting the
Public Service Company prelimi-
nary injunction and also on the SUBJ
sidiary question of admitting Jersey
City, Newark, Elizabeth, Passaic and
the other interested cities as parties
to the suit.
The court agreed yesterday to rule
on the matter of admitting the cities
. before the main question of the in
junction is decided, so this decision
will come first Although none of
the judges has given a hint of what
this ruling will be, there is consider
able speculation that the application
will be denied.
Independent Action
If the three judges do deny this
application, the cities will institute
an independent action to be heard
in this court. This was learned from
George l.. Record, counsel for Jersey
City, and Frank H. Sommer, special
counsel for Jersey City and Newark,
at the conclusion of the case. They
both maintain that the cities, who
were the real prosecutors of the ten
cent fare case before the utility
board, are clearly entitled to their
say in the United States court and If
denied their opportunity to be heard
now, will insist on being heard in a
supplementary action.
There are certain questions in the
present case in which the cities are
vitally interested such as the fran
chise contracts for a five cent fare,
contracts for street paving. ETC.,
which admittedly were not argued in
the present case as far as it has
gone. 1t is along these lines partic-
ularly that the cities desire to be
3 heard.
Party Defendants
In connection with granting pre-
liminary injunction, if one be allow
ed, the court, while denying the ap-
plication of the cities to be heard
now, might consent to their becom-
ing parties defendant in the final
hearing.
If the three judges allow the COM
pany a preliminary injunction, the
ten cent fare can be put into effect
Immediately if the company chooses
to do so, because such injunction
would restrain the enforcement of
the utility boards order fixing the
fare at seven cents, with two cents
for each transfer, thereby making
effective the ten cent far schedule
filed last December. However. this
would decide only the first step of
the suit and the case would then
have to go to a final hearing at
which witnesses would be heard and
cross examined to enable the United
States judges to get at the full merits
of the application.

W|CKBERG Gets
BRIDGE WORK
Local Man Awarded Contract
by Highway Commission
Yesterday

TRENTON. Sept. 15.-The State
Highway Commission yesterday
awarded to Gus Wickberg, of Perth
Amboy, the contract for repairing
and replanking the Amboy bridge
over the Raritan river, his estimate
of $65,207 being the lowest received
on the job. The state engineers es-
innate cost of this work was $780,
900, showing the successful bidders
figures to be only sixty-five per cent.
of this amount.
All available funds for use in con-
structing the state highway program
for 1921 were exhausted when the
commission awarded various con-
tracts yesterday. These contracts
will consume all the money appro-
priated for this seasons work.
Among the jobs awarded was Sec
ton IL of Route l, running from
Railway to Elizabeth, connecting up
this part of the state highway sys-
TEN with Elizabeth. The contract
for this work went to j. S. Geigers
Sons, of Newark, the lowest bidders,
for SIG, 6,246.07 which was SO per cent.
of the departments estimate. The
work is to be of warrenite surface
construction.
Section Z of Route 1, Hamilton
Square. will be of concrete construc-
tion, the contract being awarded to
Daniel Klockner. of Trenton. whose
bid was $50,196.S9. This will con-
meet several sections of the route
already built.
Because of lack of further funds
for work on the state highway sys-
TEN, the commission was forced to
reject the bids received for Route 8,
Section 4, at Dunellen, and for a
bridge over Jacobs Creek on Route
the route to the seashore.
Today Chairman George L. Bur-
ton, of South River, is scheduled to
confer with members of the Middle
sex county freeholders and engin-
eers of the Jersey Central Traction
Company at South Amboy concern
ing the removal of trolley tracks at
stephens avenue and Main street.

BY GEORGES AHONIAS


WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-What
will be the machinery for enforcing
any agreement that may be reached
respecting limitation of armaments
at the coming international confer
ence convention in Washington Mo-
vember IL?
AS the conference on limitation of
armaments will be a meeting of SOW
ereign powers, and not one where one
or more victorious nations are fore
ing their terms on conquered peo-
pie, it is obvious there will have to
be some inter-allied commission or
body to guarantee that the limita-
tions of armaments agreed upon are
strictly carried out.
Three possible solutions to this
situation have been suggested:
ONE: An independent inter-allied
commission similar to the Reparation
commission set up under the Ver-
SALES treaty.
TWO: A commission operating as
an administrative body for an Asso-
President Harding.
THREE: A commission operating
under the League of Nations.
AS American participation in the
League of Nations now seems wholly
unlikely. and as the Association of
Nations is to date only a suggestion
not an actually. it seems likely the
first system or some modification OF
1t will be followed.
How 1t Operates
Just what, then. is the Reparation
commission. and how does it oper-
ate?
1t is a unique and unprecedented
feature of treaties-a commission
created by the Versailles treaty for
the handling and control of the en-
tire problem of reparations, and
given full power to interpret the
provisions of reparation clauses
financial and economic, for the rea-
son that the devastation and dam
age caused by Germany was sc
great she was unable to pay a fixed
indemnity in cash at once Gas in the
case of former treaties), but the
indemnity had to be spread over 9
period of years.
So vital to the execution of the
treaty did the first president of the
Reparation commission, Monsie
Poincare. ex-war president of thu

corresponding stabilization of gener-

Report 90 Per Cent Increase
Although the activity at the United
Cartridge Company may be taken as
indicative of general conditions it.
is encouraging to note that the plant
is now running at about 20 per cent.
of it's normal capacity, having taken
on more men lately. The increase
was given as 20 per cent.
1t was said that business was In
noticeably better shape now than it
was three weeks ago and all indica-
tions point to still better times. Part
of the increased activity was attrib-
uted to the fact that some accelera-
ton is usual in the late summer but
in the opinion of the official issuing
the statement general conditions had
taken permanent turn for the bet
ter.
Other Industries
No radical improvement was noted
by officials of the Standard Under;
SIOuIlu NdDlt w OIhS, llG CdDlc
branch is fairly busy but it was
pointed out that the best time of the
year for the cable company was the
spring and early summer.
The cable works have under con-
sideration building large addition
to the plant here. A few men have
been given employment recently, 1t
was stated and it is confidently be-
lieved that real activity may be ex-
pected next spring.
Similar was the report of the Gem
eral Bakelite Company. The opin-
ion of the official making this state-
ment looked for general business to
start upward shortly but said that
the bakelite industry would of me-
cessity remain dormant for longer
period.
Conditions at the American Smelt-
ing and Refining company are said
to be about the same as they have
been for the past three months. Lit
| tie Improvement has been noted at
present.
Building Is Active.
The building situation in ant
about Perth Amboy apparently
commencing to ''see the light q
day after a period OF activit
| which has marked the pastu tzg
years. The decline iii the price Z
building materials and wages has re
suited in the resumption of interes
in home building. This new conGi
tion is not limited to the building o
new homes but includes. the erection
of stores and additional construc
tion work at various factories.
Local builders report an increase
in the number of bids they have
been asked to submit ON various
| jobs, one contractor having stated
| that there has been more building
| activity in the last three months
than in the past two years.
This resumption of building will
come as a God-send to many trades
men to whom it will give work and
who have been more or less idle
since the end of the war in 1913.
| Since then prices have reached their
apex and dropped, and those who
contemplated building them have
now decided that the conditions
are near enough to normal to go
ahead with their original plans.
