Women's Division
Boys Division

The Y. NJ. C. A. membership
campaign which ended last night
proved to be the most successful
ever conducted by the local asso-
citation the goal of 900 men,
women, boy and girl members be-
ing passed by 325. The men and
boys set out to get 500. They Sc
cured 1877. The goal of the women's
division was 400. They got 4SS.
The results announced last night
at an enthusiastic dinner meeting
of all of the captains and workers
came as a surprise to even the most
optimistic. Despite the industrial
depression at the present time the
workers succeeded in getting more
members than in any previous CAM
paign, a large number Of new MEM
bers being secured in addition to
hundreds of renewals.
This years results broke all for
mer records. Last year the goal set
by the men and boys was 400. When
6O4 members were reported at the
final meeting and it was found the
mark had been passed by 204 mar
gin, a new record was established
This year the men took 500 as their
goal and reported 1877, going over
by 237, a margin larger than even

that the conference would be held
at 2 p. m.
Neither Mr.. Stone nor Mr.. Lee
would comment on the proposed
meeting. each asserting he had no
intimations of what was to be taken
up.
Prior to the conference President
Lee, of the trainmen, issued state
ment in which he stated that "the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
very effectively take the position that
it cannot longer agree to give service
unless there is assurance that there
will be no further wage reduction
nor attempt to eliminate working
rules that have been secured
through many years of collective
bargaining"
After discussing the pay of train
men, comparing 1913 with today.
Mr.. Lee said: THE men have been
asked to work for not even a living
wage. The railroad is taking unfair
advantage of business depression
and are forcing the men to strike.
Therefore they must decide to ac-
cept the charge now"
