Lords Day Alliance
Opposes Blue Sunday

Following is letter explaining
heir position:
The Press of New Jersey:
The Lords Day Alliance of New
Jersey defends the New Jersey Sun
day law, and by so doing seeks to
hold the Rest Day for the people of
the State. The Puritan Sunday cry
that has been exploited by those in
our midst who desire to make the
Lords Day day of commerce has
now exhausted itself.
This Alliance is not in favor of any
attempt to impose a so-called Puritan
Sunday in this State, and it knows Of
no attempt contemplated to this end,
1t would itself oppose the enactment
of such legislation, believing that we
have outgrown the enactments of the
fathers so far as personal liberty is
concerned.
This Alliance, endorsed as it is by
many of the great denominations of
the church of Christ in this State, will
oppose all efforts to break down the
Sunday law of the State as it now
stands; for with the amendments the
Law is not oppressive. 1t is likewise
opposed, and will oppose with all its
might, any attempt on the part of
friends or foes of the Lords Day to
bring the Day into disrepute by un-
wise efforts in the direction of the
restriction of personal liberty.
This Alliance stands for the Rest
Day. In this work it co-operates with
all other societies that are willing to
work to this end. The annual meet
ing of this Alliance will be held on
Friday, February 25, 1921, in the
First Presbyterian Church of Tren-
ton at 2 P. NJ To this meeting all
are invited who wish the Christian
Sabbath to remain with us a day of
Rest and Worship. Any publicity
which you may give to this meeting
will be appreciated
Yours very sincerely,

WHAT TO SEE in
PHILADELPHIA
THE MASQ UERADER" AT PHILA-
DELPHIA'S NEW VAIN ut
THEATRE, STARTING MONDAY,
FEBRUARY q

Guy Bates Post and his excellent
company are this season appearing
in 1.-THE Masquerader," one of the few
really worth while plays of the de-
cade. The unusual company-the
original New York one by the way
with its wealth Of scenery, electrical
effects and novel revolving stages.
This well known representative
actor has never had a better vehicle
than this. His manager, Mr.. Richard
Walton Tully, has gone to absolute
extremes in providing a production
both ponderous and unique. Two
crews of mechanics are carried by the
company to insure proper stage
effects. The management of the Wal
nut Theatre, Philadelphia's newest
theatre, is giving special attention to
out-cf-town patrons in order that
automobile and excursion parties may
have seats reserved with as much
care as trough the purchaser were
at the ticket office window.
Mr.. Post has played "The Masque-
raider" in Australia and Europe, where
he scortd one Of the greatest hits
ever made by an American actor.
TIE story is of two men, John
Chilcote and Of John Loder. The first
IS man born to wealth, society and
political leadership. Unfortunately
drugs have secured hold on him,
and when the craving comes he is
FESTIVE under the need for caring for
his many important interests.
While Chilcote is in one of these
reaentful moods he encounters John
Loder Loder is in every respect his
double, except that he has notice
able scar on one Of his fingers. Loder
is a man we'll read, well travelled and
ambitious to take place among the
leaders CT his race.
Chilcote, in the frenzy of morphia,
seeks cut oder and proposes that
they exchange places. Loder refuses.
Cl'lc0ta eoliaDsss and his man Brock
pleads with LJier to represent him
Is the speaker on an important issue
in Parlamer5 that night. Lured by
the cpgol unit Loder consents and,
carried away by the cause for which
he piasds, sores q national sensation.

Railway Labor Board Refuses
to Abrogate the, National
Working Agreement.
is WITHOUT JURISDICTION
Senate Committees Report Against
Naval Holiday and Suspension of
In1n1lpration-Germa Are Pre-
pairing Their counterPro-
posals on Preparations.
BY EDWARD w. PIckARo.

This years first big labor fight, thai
between the railways and the raj
workers really opened last week wher
The national railroad labor board TOOK
Nd the appeal of the rail executives
for immediate abrogation of the ma
Etonal working agreements. The hear
ing drew to Chicago the heavy guns
wf hoth the executives and the rail
wEy brotherhoods. The board decided
against the railways, which, however
have not abandoned the fight.
As was foreseen, President Wilson
declined to intervene, though asked TO
BY both sides, stating he would not
take any action (which would inter
fere with the orderly procedure OF the
Interstate commerce commission or
the railway labor board"
Frank P. Walsh, counsel for the rail
unions, and B. NJ. Jewell, head of their
department of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, are leading the fight
of the brotherhoods. Their first ac-
ton was to question the jurisdiction
of the labor board in this matter, on
the ground that a question involving
the financial ability of the roads to
pay is within the province of the in
terstate commerce commission, the la
Dor board being limited by law to
questions of wages and working con-
aitions. This point the board decided
was we'll taken.
Chairman Barlow said the board for
several months had been considering
she national working agreement, clause
BY clause, to determine whether any
parts were unreasonable, and he urged
that 1t be mot further interrupted
by the introduction of unwarranted
demands by either party"
The second part of the general argu-
nent OF Mr.. Walsh was that the move
by the railroad executives is part of
a 'wall street conspiracy" to kill the
pewer Of the unions, establish the open
shop, crush collective bargaining and
reduce wages.

have 80 per cent of the class l mile
age and rs per cent of the total rail
road mileage of the United States. In
me hearings Of the Lockwood commit
zee in New York the testimony re-
yealed a movement on the part OF
certain interests to crush unions and
establish the open shop 1t is di-
recfed FIRST at the two basic indus
tries of building construction and
transportation"
great many persons not directly
concerned in the present controversy
believe with Mr.. Walsh that there is
q concerted movement to establish the
open shop, and, likewise, a great many
PERSONS are in sympathy with such
q movement. These persons see the
Impending conflict as a fight not be-
tween labor and capital, but between
tyrannical labor unions and industry.
Nest of them have suffered and are
suffering from the intolerance Of both
organized labor and organized capital,
and they are very tired of it.

Vigilant Society Meets
February "a
S5TH ANNUAL MEETING AND
DINNER

LAMBERTVILLE-One of the old
est and most highly respected organi-
cations in the country holds its S5th
annual meeting next Thursday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. The dinner will be
served in St. Andrews Hall.
Lambertville Vigilant Society was
organized at the hotel of Samuel Car
hart, February "a, 1887 The object
is stated to be "The protection of per-
sons and property and for the pur-
pose of bringing offenders to justice"
From its organization it has main
tanned a system If hunting for burg
lars and other offenders and aiding in
their prosecution.
Originally the method consisted in
the appointment of pursuers whose
duty it was to ride the several roads
out of the town, make inquiry, and
if necessary procure the arrest of the
offender and recovery of stolen prop
erty. Subsequently this system was
improved by the addition of commit
tees to- use telegraph and telephone
communication with surrounding
towns, and still later rewards have
been offered. This system with the
improvements is continued down to
the present day. All members ara
liable to be called cut and assigned
by the Board of Directors to the
performance of duties in this con-
nection
The success Of the society has been
remarkable, and there are many in
stances of considerable interest where
burglaries and other crimes were suc-
cessfully investigated and the Offend
ers punished. It is remarkable that
while we now think this country is
subject to q great many otfenses of
this character, that the annals of the
society show they were not infrequent
in the older times, and if the history
of the community it considered there
has been a remarkable improvement
in such conditions here. The whole
system, of course. depends upon
mutual interest and the willingness CT
one man to do something for his asso-
ciates without expecting to be per
sonally paid.
The dinners of the society at it's
annual meetings have always been a
feature and have been continuously
enjoyed as social event.
Its membership has included nearly
all of the leading and we'll known e:ti-
zens of the community, Among them
are found the names of Asher Lamb
ert. John Lily, Samuel D. Stryker,
George A. Kohl, Eden Hunt, Thomas
B. Carr, Amasa Ely, Samuel C. Hill,
William MeCready, Hiram Scarbor-
ough, Ashbel Welsh, Augustus C.

addition to the actual work in the
Hewitt field and the possible benefit
TO operators Of the general material
included, this report is Intended TO
show by various examples that the
petroleum industry must soon expect
to adopt recognized engineering prac-
tees In place OF the more or less
loose development methods Of the
past"
Scope OF the Report
The work covered by the report deals
with the various phases Of the oil in
dustry from the time drilling Is be-
gun until oil is delivered to the gath
ering system OF the pipe line. The sub
Jects covered are not confined TO those
OF purely engineering nature but the
writer's have taken the liberty of dis
cussing many practical problems as
well.
The first part of the report includes
a chapter on regional geology, by W
r.. Hubbard. of Ardmore. geologist with
the Humble Oil and Refining Company.
Other paragraphs point out how an ap-
plicatlon of geological principles will
increase the yield of petroleum from
certain properties and doubtless save
operators hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars through avoidance of mistakes.

sarburetors, it was found that low
grade gasoline could be more eff
ciently consumed, without impairing
the fexibility and performance of the
motor.
Other advantages which led the
Mercedes people TO sdapt this aviation
motor TO the automobile are better
combustion, more efficient cooling
less carbonization of oil, and maxi
mum valve capacity.
The cylinders are made of special
gun steel, forged down TO rounds and
drilled out, leaving a specially mechan-
icaly treated steel she'll This offers
an exceptionally great resistance to
wear and stands up better than cast
iron cylinders.
The speed of the new Mercedes Is
enormous. Stock car tests have
proven that the aviation type motor
is capable OF driving a car at a speed
of more than 100 miles per hour for
sustained period II is not only the
fastest car on the road TO-DAY. but il
has an exceptional hexibility which
renders il suitable for operation under
all traffic conditions.

Of Mines during April, 1920. to study
oil field development problems in the
Hewitt field. Although il had always
been customary for the engineers to
spend only enough time In each field
to collect information for report
nevertheless the men studying Hewitt
field conditions were enabled to con.

GOV. RITCHIE
MADE SPEECH
At Jefferson Day Dinner In New
YOrk-Warns The Democrats
Against Republican Tactics

New York-Gov. Albert c. Ritchie,
of Maryland, was one of the speakers
here Saturday night at the jefferson
Day dinner of the National Demo-
cratic Club, given at the Hotel Astor
and attended by leaders of the party
from different sections of the country.
Governor Richie, in his address,
outlined the responsibility which he
believes the Democrats in Congress
face during the present Republican
Administration. The Democratic role,
he said, is the role of critic-the role
of applying to the business of the
Government just, helpful and con-
structivc criticism. 1t is not the role,
he said, to apply the carping, abusive,
selfish and misrepresentation criticism
heaped by opponents during the last
few years upon President for whose
vision, sincerity, energy and COM
manding ability in the hour of civili-
zation's crisis they ought all to have
thanked God as we thank Him."
II is the role, too, of the Democrats,
said the Governor, to stand soidly for
humanizing legislation, for legislation
that means the safeguarding of hu-
man rights rather than property and
