PUBLIC OPINION
THE BUu,DING TRADE

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
In a recent newspaper article
published in the Evening News, and
also an announcement signed by
Fred Christensen. secretary of the
employers association, wherein it
is stated that the building trades
employers of Perth Amboy would,
beginning May 10, operate their
shops under what they are pleased
to call the "open shop" or Ameri-
sun plan,' giving as their reasons
axe fact that the trades, with the
Exception of the masons, had re-
FUSED to arbitrate the question at
issue with the employers.
Such is not the case, as the un-
ions stand ready at all times TO dis
cuss with their employers any ques-
ton pertaining to the common well
fare of themselves and the public:
but we feel that the newspaper ar
ticle and also a recent editorial in
the Evening News entitled Cannot
Ignore the Public" misrepresents
the question entirely and places tn;
unions in the wrong light before
the public.
In order to understand the unions
attitude on the question of wage re-
duction, the first question to be con-
sidered is: Are the working men
entitled to a living wage? In other
words, is the laborer worthy of his
hire? We believe all fair-minded
men will admit that they are. TAX
irg it for granted that the building
trades mechanics are entitled TO a
living wage, let us ask this ques-
ton: Is this living wage the cause
of the high cost of building, or are
there other causes that, UT to the
present time, prevent the construc-
ton OF the much needed housing
facilities for Perth Amboy and vi
cinix<g

that could and should be
and which would proye

uestion of wages alone, but
include all items of expense
& into building costs, such as
by employers on building
)fial and other. items which
Id be brought up before the
Lrd of Arbitrators.
yWe are also prepared to show
hat there are contractors engaged
lin the building business that make
4 as much as five dollars a day profit
on the labor of one workman. In
addition to these profits on labor,
The employers make a very large
profit on all material used. which
added to the other costs. have
boosted the cost of building to a
prohibitive figure. and we believe
the only proper method to settle
this question on an honest and fan
basis, is to have Il thorough inves-
tigation made of the building bust
ness, and the activities of the en-

Corporation Tax Risky.

As 70 the proposed corporation tax
of 3 per cent. Mr.. Richards said the
only serious question involved there was
the one that had been discussed as 10
the possibility Of driving the business
away That he declared is very
serious question as it would be an in
justice and wrong 10 the people If
the state 70 ieopardize the revenue re
ceived from that source.
Mr.. Richards said he did not run
charter business and does not propose
10 but that he had read the bill and
found il 10 be very complicated as TO the
three per cent corporation tax 1t
seems 70 me that this provision is
very dangerous one. having IN mind the
large amount Of revenue that is received
from outside the state. The language
of the bill is such that Il IS susceptible
70 different opinions" He said that
fact alone might stop many corporations
from coming here The speaker said
that he in a way resents some Of the
criticisms that have been made in news
papers about the charter business al he
saw nothing disgraceful or dishonor-
able about the business.
Mr. Richards referred 70 the New
Jersey corporation law of some years
ago and how that state after assing
what was known as the seven sisters
bill' lost most OF its charter business
and a great deal of IL came 10 Della
ware New Jersey has now repealed
