CITY ALDERMEN ACT TO
PREVENT like TRAGEDY
CONTINUED from page y

A resolution to show cause why
the license of the Perth Amboy Iron
& Metal Company should not be re-
voked, was passed at a special ses-
sion last night of the Board of
Aldermen. In view of the fact that
SO many fires have occurred at this
plant in the past few weeks, and a
the fire engine yesterday was an
swering an alarm of fire at the plant
when 1t crashed into the railroad
train. the aldermen were of the
opinion that the plant should not be
allowed to continue to do business
In It's present location. The officials
OF the plant are called upon to show
[ use al the regular meeting OF the
board on Monday night why the
license granted for 1t to do business
should not be revoked.
The resolution follows:
BE it resolved, That this board
at a special session assembled this
fifteenth day of June, 1921, does
hereby request city clerk to notify
the Perth Amboy Iron and Metal
Company to appear before the city
council at its committee session to
be held June II. 1921, at s p. M, to
show why this board should
not take action to compel said
company to discontinue business at
said location as being a dangerous
to the property in the neighborhood
and a menace to life"
Trans passing through the city
this morning were not moving at a.
greater speed that ten miles an hour
as a result of the action taken by the
aldermen last night. Chief Niels J..
Tonnesen had one patrolrnan station
ed at The Market st. crossing OF the
Central Railroad and another at the
Washington street crossing with in
structions to slow down all trains to
the ten mile an hour speed limit.
The officer at the Market street
trains proceeding north while the
officer a; the Washington street
crossing made known the chiefs or.
ders to all south bound trains.
City Attorney Leo Goldberger will
go to Newark today to file with the
Public Utility Commission a copy of
the resolution passed by the alder.
men last night. The commission still
has before it the application OF the
city made during Mayor Ferd Gar
retson's term requesting the elirni-
nation of all grade crossings here
but the move was never finally con-
sumated.
The city attorney said that en-
forcement of the grade elimination
law had been held up owing to the
appeal made by the Erie Railroad
in a decision against 1t held consti-
tutional by the court of errors n
appeals. The case was then referred
to the United states Supreme Court
which also held the act constitution
al. The war then interferred with
the act being enforced, Mr.. Gold
berger said, and agitation has not
been resumed since. A report OF the
Public Utility Commission for the
year, Dec. /, 1913 to Dec. 1, 1919,
showed eighty.seVen killed in GRADE
crossing accidents and $50 injured.

That the Chamber of Commerce
will at once take action to co-operate
with the city authorities n push
the elimination of grade crossings
through this city. was decided at a
conference of President Isaac Alpern.
vice President Fred A. BRIGGS and
Secretary John F. Bergen today.
The first step towards this end will
be to call a meeting Of the board
of directors. Although the exact
time for this meeting has not been
decided upon as yet, Secretary Ber-
gen said that the meeting will be
held not later than Monday.
The president OF the Chamber is
determined that accidents of this
kind must not occur here in the
future, and as the only practical way
to eliminate them is to do away with
the dangerous grade crossings, the
intentions are to push the fight for
the elimination of them to a finish.

THE SURPRISES OF THE i
1920 FOREIGN TRAD1

The manner. and in, some degree. tbs
cause of the surprises of our foreign
| trade in the calendar year 1920 can now
be determined or at least closely approx
mated, says a statement by The National
City Bank of New York. The enormous
increase in imports. which jumped from
50, 9O4, eaO 900. in 1919 to s5.2SO.OO0.O09 in
1920 occurred in each of the three great
groups manufacturing materials, food
stuffs, and manufactures. Manufacturing
materials advanced from $1,675, 900, 300 in
1919 to s1.750.OO0.000 in 1920: foodstuffs
from S1100, 100000 to $1,S16, 900,
while manufactures imported jumped
from. 81. Zoe. 00o. 900 in 1919 to $3.50, 000,-
1O0 The increases of the three great
groups over 1919 were in manufacturing
material 100000; foodstuffs s716,-
99e,e00.. and manufactures s5S0,O00,0 0g.
The reasons for these phenomenal m
creases are largely due TO Me extremely
nigh prices in the early part of 1920. and
TO The persistent importation in large
quantities irrespective of prices. With
raw cotton running up to soc. SOC and
even as high as sec per pound in August,
, before the downward movement began, it
| is not surprising that in raw cotton alone
| the value of the imports of The II meprhs
| ending with November were 135,000,000
| against So 10000 in the same period
| Of 1919, and s40,000,000 in the same
months of 1918, while tAe fact that i'm
port prices of raw silk reached their high
water mark of over s12 a pound about
the middle of the year, and that the Ge-
cline in wool and hides did not come I'M
| til the second half of the year, explains
the increase of $75,000,00O in value CT
raw material imported. The big increase
| in the value of foodstuffs imported
amounting to s716;000,0o0 is of course
due largely to the extremely high price
paid for the sugar and coffe" in the first
half, or % of the year. The increase
! Of 100000 in manufactures lniJJl l.
ed. occurs largely in luxuries and high
grade factory products; an increase CT
about $10,0O0,000 in art works; $15,000,-
600 in laces nearly 10o,o00,08o in cot
ton goods s2o.o00.00o in furs; s65,o00,-
| 600 in manufactures of fbers: $50 ,000,-
600 in silk manufactures. and $40, 1000, 900
in wooden manufactures.
| On the. export side, the chief surprises
were the fall off in foodstuffs, and the big
increase in manufactures exported. Man
ufacturing material to be sure, shows
an increase of $3.50, 900 over the same
months of last year, due largely to the
high prices of export cotton in the first
half of the Year. the prices having
ranged up to 45c "a pound until past the
middle of the year before they tobogganed

TO half that figure in the closing part Of
he year. Foodstuffs exported show tre-
nendous TALBOT, from $3.50, 900, 900 in
1919 to $2,135, 100000 in 1920, drop of
little more than $500, 900, 00e, This de-
cline occurring chiefly in meat a3d dairy
products, and apparently cue to the IN
willingness or inability of our chief Gus
toner for meats. Europe, to longer pay
the high prices which persisted until the
closing months of the year.
The biggest and most gratifying Of the
years surprises is the fact that manu-
features exported made A lew high rec
ord, having totaled Salsa, OU0, 900 against
$3,4S6, 100000 in 1919, and $1,O99. 900, 600
in the year Immediately preceding the
war, a gain of S677, 0Wo, 900 over last
year, and $3,064. 900, 900 over the fiscal
year 1914. This big increase in our 1920
