TWENTY BOYS
IN COURT HERE
freight Car is Broken Into
Those Found Guilty Fined
SIS Each

Two boys involving a number of
young boys who were in trouble
with the Pennsylvania and Lehigh
Valley railroads, occupied the atten-
ton of the recorder, Harold T.. Pick
ersgill, in the police court this morn
ing. At least twenty boys were ar
raigned on charges of trespassing
upon the railroad property, loosen
ing the brakes on freight cars, and
in the case of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, breaking open a freight car
md stealing bananas.
In the Lehigh case the boys con
cerned were severely reprimanded
by the court and those found 10 be
guilty were fined So each and re-
manded to the Jail until payment is
made. Complaint was made by Will
lam Cooper, Waterman for the rail-
road.
The banana occurrence dates back
to July 20 when the a was broken
open by a number of boys and frui
valued at $50 extracted therefrom.
Sigmund Macusky and John Jugan
admitted being the ringleaders in the
case, breaking the seal on the door
and springing the lock. They We're
held under $500 bail each to
await tho juvenile court session next
Friday al New Brunswick. The 9TH
err boys concerned were reprimanded
and released.

fore the recorder on charges of as
sault and battery, malicious mischief
and ~disorderly conduct.
Charles Macy, of 300 Leon avenue,
was charged with assaulting Alex
Tangre, of 436 Grove street. The
case involved the payment of a debt
owed to Tangre. 1t was said that
Tangre picked up a rock and threat
ened to heave it at Macy when he
refused to settle his obligations.
Macy opened up a dazzling selection
of hooks and punches, disfiguring
Tangre's c~ountenance to a consider
able extent. Although admitting
that the case involved self-defense
the recorder maintained that the re-
taliation went too far and fined Macy
$50. An arrangement was made this
morning whereby the penalty is to
be paid in monthly instalments of
$40 and the defendant was paroled
in custody of Henry Koch, his m
ployer.

spirit as we'll as to the letter OF
their contracts. But the unscrupu-
lous, unprincipled minority who are
rot doing so are jeopardizlng the
interests of the majority.
The Importance Of the retailer
has never been more accentuated
than now. The public has come to
look upon the retailers readJust-
ments as the last in the cycle tlat
must be completed before economic
| conditions are on a comparatively
| sound basis preparatory to a gen
eraI revival Of business. That pop
ular conception was s%trikingly Illus
trated by the recent ~so-called buy
ers' strike.
1 believe that the majority of our
retailers understand this public
psychology and fully appreciate
tsaeir responsibility. I am conf
dent that most of u retailers APP
prehend that the sooner their
prices are made commensurate
with the existing purchasing pow
er of their customers the better 1t
will be for themselves.
On the other hand, the public
must comprehend that reduction OF
prices cannot be made arbitrarily
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-09-16

without due consideration for all
the factors that enter into the proc
ess. Perhaps the chief of these is
labor cost, which affects all others.
When prices scared to prohibitive
heights raw materials were the
first to feel the reaction. But so
long as labor costs remain high the
manufacturers cannot pass along a
large part of the reduction in the
cost of materials because his big
gest item of cost is labor.
The solution to the problem is
lower production costs. We are in
a period of smaller margin of prof
it's than that which we have expe-
rienced for the last few years.
Greater efficiency is urgently de-
manded.
The solution of this problem
must be found before we a &C
complish the most important of all
necessary readjustments namely,
a stable basis of exchange between
farm and industrial products,
which, in the final analysis, is an
exchange between farm and indus
trial labsr. Agriculture is still our
largest industry. When it is pros.
porous the country is prosperous,

SLOvAk CLUB

A meeting of the Slovak Citizens
Independent political club was held
last night in the Slovak hall on Lau-
RE street. During the business ses-
sion five new members were added

Assemblyman Edward Peterson, a
candidate for reelection this year,
was the principal speaker of the eve

term in office, and requested the sup
port of the club. Other speeches
were made by John A. Kozusko, Jo-
seph +. Powers and Charles f. Bar
tenhagen, candidates for the Demo-
cratic aldermanic nomination in the

John Uffaluny, a court Interpreter

but when 1t is not prosperous the
country cannot be prosperous.
And there is another problem
which vitality concerns all OF us
namely, unemployment. Like the
reputation Of contracts, this also
is a worldwide condition and must
likewise be remedied as soon as
possible. While we have been lar
more fortunate than any other ma
ton, it Is a serious matter to have
three million people out Of work
even in this rich country.
Consequently the task Of ade-
quately financing our overseas com
merce, which is the crux Of the
problem, Is a matter Of vital inter-
est to every business man, farmer
and laborer in the country. 1t Is
essential for all these elements OF
our body polite to do all in their
power to make successful such
movements as that represented by
the Foreign Trade Financing Cor
poration, which is being organized
with a capital stock of one hum
dred billion dollars, on which, un-
der the Edge Act, it can extend a
billion dollars in long-term credits
to foreign buyers Of American
products and issue its own deben-
lures against the collateral for
these loans for sale to the Ameri-
can public.
Our productive capacity has
steadily been increasing since the
beginning Of the World War. 1t
now exceeds the capacity of domes-
nestle consumption. And 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that merely domes-
tic readjustment cannot solve the
nroblem of satisfactorily disposing
of our surplus goods. Further
more. all nations are so economical
ly interdependent that employment
IL; any one country depends to a
large extent upon worldwide CO.
operation and facilities for the e1-
change of goods.
Because of world conditions and
their influence upon us business re-
covery here will naturally be grad
ual. but all the better for that. IL
Is n matter of national congratu-
lation, however, that there are
abundant indications that the tide
in our bushes affairs has unmistak-
ably turned. Confidence Is being
restored, and, very important de.
spite the precipitate fall in the
nrice of farm products, the latest
reports from agricultural districts
disclose the fact that the plight OF
our farmers, generally, is not as
bad as we have been led to believe
at first. Crops are being marketed
gradually, and that means that
newly created wealth is being made
available to the nation. More In
dustrial plants are r~eopening.
Transportation facilities have been
considerably improved since the
railroads were returned to private
control through greater efficiency
in their use. Bank reserves have
been materially strengthened. and
banking conditions, IN common
with fundamental business condi-
tons, are sound and have been con-
siderably better>d recently through
the steadier and more accelerated
movement Of agricultural products
to market ard through the more
rapid liquidation Of paper held by
the banks.

UNIQUE CONCERT WITH
"RE-CREATED" PHONOGRAPH

A very unique and pleasing recital
was presented in the high school
auditorium last night to a fair sized
audience under the auspices OF Mon
talvo when Miss Cecil Arden, the
well known contralto, sang in uni
son with her 're-created" voice on
the Edison machine. The program
opened with "Ye Who Have Yearn-
ed Alone" on the monograph, which,
disappointing the audience a trifie.
was soon joined by Miss Arden her
self who gave evidence that the Edi-
son brought forth an exact replica
of the artists voice. Similar tests
were made throughout the evening
by Miss Adeline Packard, who as
sisted on the violin and Jerome
Bohm al the piano. This trio de-
lighted the audience for almost an
hour and a half with a repertoire of

Such business men recognize the
~sanctity of a contract and deplore
the worldwide reputation of obli-

the sudden depreciation in business

than the precipitate depreciation In

Al to have been taken I'M

Their failure to foresee this change

that they were not keeping well

Our business men who properly
studied the economic forces shap-
