men rejected by the army during the
war was on account of malnutritiOn.
In other words, 40 per cent. of the
working people of the nation were
not receiving sufficient or proper
food to keep them in perfect physi-
cal condition.!
In view of these facts, the build
ing trades mechanics of Middlesex
county are determined to resist any
attempts made to reduce the present
wage rate, as they consider, and
rightfully so. that they are at least
entitled to a living wage, and that
they will not rest content until they
are enabled by their chosen calling
to earn a sufficient amount not only
to support themselves and their
families decently. but also enough to
enable them to lay aside something
for the proverbial "rainy day" and
an opportunity to educate their chill
dren in the higher spheres of educa-
ton, which under the present wages
they are unable to do, very few of
their children having the opportuni-
ty to complete a course in high
school.
Feeling as they do on this ques-
ton, the employers attempt to re-
duce their wages is doomed to fall
ure, as the men are determined,
come what may. to fight the issue
out to the end.
We hope that the majority of the
employers, and that the public as a
whole, will see the justice of our
stand, and by SO doing permit the
building business to continue on a
just, honorable and fair basis.

One feature of the debate was a dec

Carpenters Union Says
Men To Resist Attennpt
To Reduce Wages Here

The Middlesex County District
Council OF Carpenters, United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America, has drawn up a
statement showing that the cost of
living for family OF five today will
not permit of wage reductions,
varying from ten to twenty per
cent in the case of building trade
mechanics. The approximate cost
of maintaining family of five un-
der moderate circumstances, ac-
coriing to the councils figures, is
$2.307 per year. This is more than
the men engaged in building trades
would, receive with a ten OF twenty
per cent reduction in wages, the
statements points out.
The statement in full, together
with the table of expenditures fol-
lows:
For some time past the advocates
of low wages have been carrying on

that living costs had been reduced
to a figure that would warrant re-
duction in wages from 10 to 20 per
cent less than the wages now being
Paid by the building trade con-
tractors.
Judging from the newspaper arti-
cles bearing on this question, and
the propaganda that the low wage
advocates have been persisteDtly
spreading one would be led to be-
lieve that there had been such a re-
duction in living costs.
Such is not the case. AS we be-
lieve, the following table will DEM
onstrate to all fair-minded people
that the building trade mechanics
today are not receiving a sufficient
wage to support their families in a
proper manner.
In estimating living costs, the
family basis must be considered
and as the average family consists
of three children and two adults,
making total of five. upon this ba-
sis the following table has been
prepared, which we submit to you

1t can be seen by the above that
the average weekly expenditure to
maintain a family of five under very
modest conditions. as mentioned in
the above table, requires weekly
expenditure of $44.42 per week, or
a total of $2.3077S per year.
In view of the fact that it is i'm
possible for the men engaged in the
building trades to work full time
(the building business being more or
less of a seasonable nature), the
average time worked being about
two hundred days per year, which,
at the present rate of $500 per day
paid to carpenters, equals $1,000 for
the year. or S707.7S less than is re-
quired to support family on the
very conservative estimate here given
but for the sake of argument we
will admit that a man works two
hundred and fifty days per year, at
the present rate of pay. He would
receive $4,000 or S307.7S less per
year than is sufficient to support his
family.

Association at Meeting Plans

MRS CRUISE RESIGNS
Matron Will be Employed at
Community House - Ar
range for Annual Meeting
MRS CRUISE RESIGNS

The decision to continue the up
keep Of the Community House,
which for the past two years has
been operating under the auspices
of the Community Association on
Johnstone street, was reached by a
unanimous vote at the community
meeting yesterday afternoon in the
auditorium of the public library.
However, the house will run on
trial on a much less expensive plan
during the summer months, with
one woman as matron to do as much
of the work as possible as has been
done by the welfare workers. Mrs.
Edith M. Cruise and Miss Emma
Blanchard the housekeeper.
1t would be impossible to secure
any woman who could take the
place of Mrs. Cruise and accomplish
the amount of work that has been
done by her with the assistance of
a competent housekeeper. Still the
Community House has become an
established part of Perth Amboy
and a Community House with only
one woman in charge is much bet
ter than no Community House at all
in the opinion of the association
members. During the trial, the CO.
operation of the health board,
which has a free clinic at the Ii
brary each week. the library board,
which has branch library at the
house one day a week, and all of
the clubs which meet there daily.
will be solicited to assure the per-
nanence of the house.
This was the opinion voiced by
nearly every one who was present at
the open meeting yesterday after
noon over which Mrs. Adrian Lyon,
president of the Community Asso-
opened with a report from Mrs.
Cruise, who has resigned her du-
ties to take effect within the next
two weeks, and although the report
shows remarkable accomplishments
it does not tell the half of the work
that Mrs. Cruise has put into her
days and nights since her arrival in
this city. She concluded her re-
port with some of her plans for fu-
ture work, had she been able to re-
main here longer and not been nee
essary to the needs of her family
in California. AS q club and civic
center the house has been popular
and it's future as a health center is
bright.
Mrs. Lyon, who was really the in
StigatOr of the house, was empoW-
cred to select the matron with the
assistance of Mrs. Chauncey Bald
win, vice president, and Mrs. Ma
thaniel Pierce. 1t was Mrs. Lyon
who submitted the plan of cutting
the expenses of the house to just
oEe-half and running things on a
much smaller scale, and the finance
committee to work out the plan in
a mere definite form will be ap-
pointed before the annual meeting
in May.
The next meeting of the associa-
ton will be the annual meeting on
Monday, May 80. and the election
of officers and annual reports will
take place at this time. Plans for
raising money for the Community
House through new memberships
of the association will also be dis
cussed but no doubt definite work
will be postponed until fall. Yes
terdays meeting was most encour-
aging to the Community House fu-
ture.

of the association for the past eleven
months ended April l, 1921. follows:
