FEEL LPEEvEDkT
SOUTH ANBOY
Democrats Feel Peeyed in Not
Getting Any of the Five
Jobs Recently Given Out.

By Special CORRESPONDENT.
SOUTH AMBOY. Jan. e7-The at
titude Of local Democrats on the re-
cent appointments in New Bruins
wick can be expressed in one word,
sore" The EVENING NEWS rep
resentative approached several Of
the so-called local leaders yesterday
and they were all greatly wrought
up about it. The general feeling
was that South Amboy always being
Democratic stronghold should al
east be given one Of the five coun-
ty appointments thar were handed
out.
II WIS pointed out that notwith-
standing the fact that the country
was swept with a biC' Repu ublican
landslide the Democrats of South
Amboy elected the majority OF the
city officials. They elected the
mayor, city clerk and two council
men. Congressman Scully. il was
pointed out. made five fights for
congress for the party. When his
vote counted much il was pointed
out that he spent $4,000 on the
Scully Carson recount in order to
get the one more vote in congress
for the party.
That South Amboy was an organ
ization town was shown by the fact
that although Nugent carried South
Amboy n the primary race OF gov
ernor it gave Edwards a substantial
vote in the final election. When
senator Brown was elected 10 the
senate it was pointed out that South
Amboy gave an exceptionally large
majority.
The leaders of this city clairI
they are through" This means a
complete reorganization Of the
party locally as all the old tim srs
are "lined up solid.

BUILDERS ACT
TO start WORK
Request viii Probably be
Made to Have Labor in the
Trade Stand Cut in Wages

A general meeting of the builders
of the city and county was held yes
terday afternoon in the Building
Trades Association building on Ma
pie street. A discussion took place
at this meeting concerning the hous-
ing problem and way to stimulate
building in general.
The discussion brought out the
fact that building material is on the
decline, some lumber having already
taken drop of from 10 to 25 per
cent. The opinion was that the cost
of living has also been reduced
about 20 per cent. probably more.
and that labor was the only thing
that remained at its high mark.
The builders were of the opinion
that it was only proper that a re-
quest should be made to labor to
make a 20 per cent. reduction IN
wages in order to stimulate building
and make it possible for one to go
ahead with work they may have
planned.
During the last two years, it was
pointed out. labor has been granted
raises from time to time with the
understanding that when things be-
gan to get normal again labor would
grant a reduction also. Committees
were appointed 10 meet with repre-
sentatives of branches of the build
ing trades unions aud hold confer
ences with these representatives
over the reduction in the wage scale.
Attention was called to the fact
that the laboring man in the factory
has received a reduction in wages
and unless the builders meet him
half way he will not build. In order
for the builder to do this. labor must
also do its part and grant a re-
duction.

KEYPORT, Jan. 27-The Aero
marine flying boat cruiser Ponce de
Leon" after having been frozen in
the ice of Raritan Bay about 200
yards off-shore here for more than
fifty hours. was finally freed late
last night and hauled safely up on
the shore. The boat had landed in
the local bay at o'clock Monday
night at the conclusion of a trial
spin and the ice prevented its con-
tinuing to the shore. Seven men.
comprising the passengers on the
trial trip. suffered from cold and
lack of food for ten hours. they be-
ing rescued at 4 O'Clock Tuesday
morning.
The work of cutting channel
from the shore to the stranded boat
was commenced yesterday morning,
and in the afternoon dynamite was
used to blast away a portion of the
ice sufficiently wide to allow the
flying boat TO get into the shore.
The ice about the flying boat was

shore as soon as a channel had been

to the boat had been cut out and.
with a new radiator in place on the
flying boat, the engine was started
and the machine started to taxi"
in towards shore under its own
power The boat negotiated about
one half the trip when it was fore
ed TO stop. the broken ice being so
thick it was feared the hull would
be damaged.
The remaining channel was again
cleared and the engine in the flying
boat again started. This time the
remainder of the trip was complet-

boat was hauled out. The boat was
brought in without dismantling the
