ARRANGE BABY
PARADE MAY Z
Child Welfare Week to be Fit
tingIy Observed From May
8 to 15--Meeting is Held.

Child Welfare Week, proclaimed
by President Harding from May to
Is, will be tittingly observed in Perth
Amboy as the result of the concer-
ted efforts of the Board of Health
and several other organizations
which are interested in the welfare
of the city. At a meeting held yes
terday afternoon a plan of action
was definitely decided upon which
promises most interesting and ed
ucational affair. At a former meet
ing it was seen fit to special lize upon
the subject of nutrition" making
this the major part of the week S
activities.
1t was also found expedient, in
stead of covering the entire period
of six days, to concentrate the ef-
forts and accomplish as much as
possible in two days, preferably
Thursday and Friday May IL and
13.
Introducing the activities will be
a baby parade on Thursday, the first
that has ever been attempted in
Perth Amboy, in which everyone is
invited to join who has an interest
in the affair. 1t was thought to Of
fer a prize for the best specimens
of babydom, but the lack of funds
will eliminate this method of recog
milton unless donations are offered
by some public spirited citizen of
the community. There will be floats,
decorations and music and it is
hoped that the entire city will CO.
operate in making for the success
of the parade which virtually means
the Introduction of new health Civ
ing methods through nutrition.
On Friday. providing the high
school auditorium is available. the
activities will take the form of lee
lures and exhibits dealing directly
with health through nutrition and
the entire community is invited to
attend.
The cooperation of the city is
heartily desired. The necessity of
more concentrated effort along
health lines is being more keenly
felt as the times goes on, and, fall
ing in line with every other commu-
nifty in the country, Perth Amboy
does not want to be found lacking
in showing the proper spirit. 1t is
hoped that the merchants will put
their shoulder to the wheel by dress
ing their windows appropriately
during Child Welfare Week. and
mothers and friends of children are
asked - enter them for the parade
formation as to what part they will
take, to Dr. Charles Thompson,
Board of Health.
The various organizations and
their repl esentatives who were pres
ent at yesterdays meeting were:
Mrs. Adrian Lyon, civic depart
ment of the Woman's Club: Miss
Persis Snodgrass and Mrs. Edward
Mccormick, of the Red Cross; Com
missioners Silk, Buckley and Mrs
Parsons of the Board of Health
Mrs. Frank ID. Mendenhall. Commu-

tions and donations for the Day

GERMANY AGAIN
IS WEAKENED
Criticism LeveIed at Ger
many About Appeal to US.
Raped by Bernstorff
IN REICHSTAG SPEECH
Says That He Deprecated the
Temper of the Debate on
Reparations Issue.
IN REICHSTAG SPEECH

BERLIN, Aprn 29:-Criticism
leveled at the German cabinets ap-
peal to President Harding in the
reparation question was calculated
to weaken still further the position
of German diplomacy abroad. de-
clared Count Won BernStorff, former
amba ssador TO the United States, in
his maiden speech before the reich
stag yesterday. Supporting the Ger
man note to Washington deprecated
the temper of the debate, he said
The democratic party to which l
belong" he said, has contemplated
with profound regret the discussion
going on in this parliament yesterday
and today. At a time when the faith
erland is in dire distress. when we
are imm ediately threatened with the
gravest coercive measures, we are
indulging in heated partisan discus
sion instead of realizing national
unity, which alone will enable us to
overcome the menace with which we
are confronted.
"The United States is actuated
deeply by economic motives in its
treatment of European problems.
America cannot possibly be interest
ed in seeing Germany dismembered
or deprived of territory quarters in
the western sections of Europe. The
present issue, however, is not purely
political, but it involves the principle
of firmly establishing the solidarity
oe the interests of all nations"
During the discussion in the reich
stag today on reparations DR.. Simons,
| the foreign minister. replied to cri-
| tics who charged him with failure to
| fight out the question of war guilt
| with Premier Lloyd George in Lon
| don
Il hold these reproaches to be un-
warranted" he declared. Before
me sat men who held in their hands
documents containing our confession
| of guilt. Granting that this confess
sion was extorted, it behooves me TO
make the best | could of the situa-
| tion. A protest on my part would
have imm ediately precluded further
negotiations with Mr.. Lloyd George"
he said.

New Agreement Sprung on
on Employers Yesterday
Must be Signed by May !
STRIKE SEEMS LIKELY
Indications Are That the
Bosses Will Refuse to
. Grant Any Increase in Pay

A strike on the part of the bak-
ers of this city is threatened as the
result of demands for an increase
In wages and changes in working
conditions made upon the boss bak-
ers Yesterday by the local union
bakers. The new agreement, Which
has been presented to the employ
ers must be signed by May 1, which
only gives them two days to con-
slider it. The employers have got
ten together on this matter and 1t Is
generally known that they will re-
lect the demands of the men 1or an
Increase. Two announcements were
made this week by employers OF re-
ductions in the price of bread, put
If these rev demands are granted 1t
will mean another increase IN the
price of bread, it is believed.
The foremen bakers at present
are receiving $50 a week and they
ask $50. Second hand men now get
s54 and ttey ask $55. The union
mon ask that their work start no
earlier than or O'Clock IN tne
morning and to 5 o'clock in the
afternoon. They ask double time
from 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon
to ) o'clock Sunday morning. a re-
uuest is made for eight holiday s.
May /, July 4, Labor Day, CHRIST
mas, New Years, Rosh Hassona (two
days) and Yom Kippur without de-
auction from wages. If work is nee
essary double time is asked on these
davs. The bosses will grant any five
days the bakers select but will not
,gree to the eight holidays.
With reference to the hours
which the bakers must work, the
bosses agree to eight hours with one
: half hour for lunch, but maintain
these hours shall be those which
will suit the convenience OF the
:rade. No less than two men are
considered set under the new
agreement. This will wipe out the
small baker, it is claimed, as some
cannot afford to keep two men. Iime
and half time for overtime is asked
by the bakers. This is refused by
the bosses as jobs have to be COM
plete jobs.
Boss bakers have given employees
bread for their family which is said
to amount to about SO week.

to Have Bail Reduced in Big
Robbery Case.

NEW BRUNSWICK. April 20
Judge Peter +. DAILY this morning
refused the request of Attorney Wal
ter Sedan, acting for Senator Thorn

ert Stegaway, the man held on a
grand larceny charge in connection
with the theft of cigars from a rail-
road car at Metuchen. from $4,000
to between $4,000 and $4,000. so that
the defendant could put up property
bail. The court agreed to take $4,000
cash bail.
After the attorney made the re-
quest of the court, Prosecutor Jo-
seph f.. Stricken opposed the mo-
ton on the ground that the best in
terest of the state would be served

inasmuch as the defendant is an old
timer. Judge DAILY then ruled that
he could not or would not reduce
bail in any material amount, on the
statement made by the prosecutor.

tives and committed to the county

NEW BRUNSWICK, April 29:-
With the concrete work on the south
side of the new pavement being laid
under the direction of the freehold
ers on New Brunswick avenue in
Fords nearly complete, no action has
been taken by the Public Service
Street Railway Company toward
shifting their tracks to the centre of
the road, and present indications
point to another holdup in the INo-
gress of the work.
This matter was again brought to
the attention of the county board
yesterday by the Utility Construction
Company of this city, who have the
contract for the work, and a COM
mittee from the board. consisting of
FreeholderS Walter Quakenbush and
Clarence M. Haighe was appointed
for the purpose of meeting with the
corporation official and attempt to
get some action or assurance.
AS pointed out by the contractor,
he will be compelled before long to
remove his equipment to other jobs
unless conditions are made such that
he can proceed with the work on the
northern side of the street.
1t is generally understood that a

Service officials at the time the I'M
provement was sanctioned last fall
to the effect that their portion of
the work would be taken care of
when the time came, by relaying
new rails at the center of the thor
oughfare and paving the street at
each side and the center of the
tracks as required.
The cooperation given by the
company in paving matters dur
ing the last few years has been al
most nil, their worn out plea of
poverty and financial difficulties be-
ing the excuses offered for not car
rying on the work in accordance
with their franchises. At several
points in the county where new work
has been laid or is now contem-
plated the municipal authorities
have been "bucked" by the corpo-
ration. who absolutely refuse to live
up to the terms of their agreements
to run over the public property.
Numerous attempts have been
made on the part of city and county
officials to have the disgraceful con-
dition on outer Smith street Perth
Amboy, cared for. but the trolleys
continue to run over tracks that at
some points are several inches above
grade while at others there is big
depression in the tracks.
Legal talent on different occasions
have advised that a remedy exists
whereby the tracks can be brought
to grade. compelling the trolley
companies to foot the bill, but for
some reason unexplained, the pub
lie servants of the people do not
see fit to force the issue and protect
the taxpayers of the community.
Traffic through Fords will con-
tinue to increase as the season ad-
vances and unless the New Bruins
wick avenue pavement is completed
before that time the roughly con-
structed detour will have to be used
which is not nlysspuMblicay
