Master Builders Make
New Wage Offer To Go
Into Effect Here May I

The master builders of this city,
members of the Building Trades AS
sociation, in an effort to stimulate
building and bring the cost of con-
struction down so that many peo-
pie who contemplate building Will
be able to carry out their plans, have
informed the various building trades
that beginning May 1, they cannot
see their way clear to continue to
pay the present wage scale and ask
the building trades to to agree to a
reduction in wages. Although some
Of the master builders desire a re-
duction in wages of at least 50 a
reduction Of only 81.
In their communications to the
unions. the master builders point
out that the request for new wage
scale is not a matter of their own
benefit. but the public at large de-
mands and the stand taken by the
people who furnish money for build
ing operations is, that mechanics in
the building lines must submit to a
reduction of wages. as well as all
other branches of labor, before build
ing operations can be started again.
Building operations in this city. and
in the country generally, it is point
ed out in the resolutions, are at a
standstill and for this reason a re-
duction in wages is a necessity.
According to the new wage scale
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-04-04

to which the master builders have
requested the building trades to
agree are:
Journeymen carpenters. for days
work of eight hours, 81 day. At
the present time the journeymen
carpenters are getting sS per day.
Bricklayers, masons and plaster
ers, 81 an hour and all overtime
double, making a total of IS a day.
The wage at the present time is $40
per day.
Hodcarriers and building laborers,
6 cents an hour and all overtime
to be double. Wages at present time
S5 cents an hour.
Wood, wire and metal lath, IS per
thousand and Sc per days work.
Plumbers: 81 per day. Now get
ting 50.
Painters: 81 per day. Present
wage IS.
Electricians: 81 per day. Present
wage 50.
The painters reduction took place
in March, and Immediately follow
ing the action of the master painters
the union painters refused to work
for the lower wages. The misunder-
standing between the painters and
master painters still exists and the
Journeymen painters claim that the
master painters have locked them
out. The reduction if agreed to in
the other trades will not take place
until May j.

Week of Session; Hearing
On Election Bill Today

TB~ Evening News Correspondence
TRENTON. April 4.-The final
week of the legislature is scheduled
to begin tonight. One hearing of
interest is on the calendar for this
afternoon at o'clock when the
House election committee will lis
ten to arguments for and against
the bill introduced by Assemblyman
Loori. of Hudson. This measure
would provide for minority repre-
sentation in the assembly delegations
from Hudson and Essex.
1t is customary for Hudson to
send a Democratic delegation to the
legislature and Essex to be represen-
ted usually by Republicans. Under
the Loori bill a certain number of
each county's quota In the assembly
would be republicans from Hudson
and Democrats from Essex under
the normal election results, thus
giving the minority voters in these
two leading counties a voice in the
lawmaking body.
Naturally the scheme is not to the
liking of the Hague Democratic
forces in Hudson, which would be
cut down in the normal assembly
strength and it is expected today that
opposition will be presented to the

bill from this source.
The members of the senate and
House assembled for the home
stretch of the session today pre-
pared for a gruelling week of work.
Final adjournment is to be reached
some time on Friday and Speaker
Hobart. of the assembly, last week
advised the members of the House
to engage their hotel accommoda-
tions to last them until Saturday
morning, meaning that the Legisla-
ture will likely work up until late
Friday night.
Governor Edwards will send In
his last batch of nominations this
week. 1t is also expected that he
will have some more vetoes. Most
of the important pieces of legisla-
ton have been passed and either
signed by Mr.. Edwards or put on
the statute books over his vetoes.
One important bill upon which
his action is awaited with interest,
is the jitney regulation bill. 1t is

Of DEAD MAN

the road at Maurer on Friday night
has been identified as Mike Udwin-
ski, forty-two years old, of Elizabeth
avenue, Linden. He was identified
as foreman on the Pennsylvania
railroad at Linden. by friend yes
terday. The coroner is investigating
a report that the man was put on
the car at Wayne street, to be left
off at Elizabeth avenue, Railway. He
will endeavor to learn if the man
was put off at Maurer or whether he
fell off. An examination has shown
that the mans death was caused by

new SAFETY FENDER FOR
AUTOS INTRODUCED HERE

During the past week or ten days
a new safety fender for automobiles
has been demonstrated in this city
and many favorable comments have
been heard concerning it. When the
fender is not in operation it has the
appearance of that of an ordinary
bumper, except that 1t is much more
of an improvement to the front or
any car. When in use the fender
opens up and forms cage like de-
vice which picks person up and
makes it impossible for the car to
pass over them.
The fender can be opened from
the drivers seat. but the inventor
did not depend entirely on the driver
to be alert enough to drop the fender
when it appeared that someone was
to be hit by the car.
