TRADE COMMISSION CHARGES
UNFAIR PRACTICES USED
BY GEORGE II. MANNING
Washington Correspondent OF the
Perth AmbON Evcning Vows

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19:-The
Bracher Company. Inc, of Belle
vile. near Newark, has been cited by
the Federal Trade Commission in
complaint of unfair trade practices
in the sale Of razor homes and has
been allowed thirty days to file an
swer.
The complaint recites that this
firm sells to the trade razor homes
at SIS a thousand which are packed
singly in cases marked price $1.00."
It alleges that the price of 81 is a
marked up" price which does not
represent the true value of the hone
nor the price at which 1t is contem-
plated it will be sold to the public,
but Is placed on the ease to deceive
the public into believing that the
homes are of good quality and rea-
sonably worth the price asked indi-
Gated. 1t is further alleged hat re-
tailers offer the homes to the public
at prices substantially less than
those printed on the cases. thereby
inducing the purchase OF the hone
on the mistaken belief that a hone
of good quality is being sold at a
greatly reduced price.
This complaint is a part of a CAM
paign being conducted by the Feder-
nj Trade Commission to break up
various selling devices resortcd to by
the makers of razors, razor blades,
homes. etc, alleged to be I'M
fair competition and trade practices.

PUBLIC OPINION
THE CABLE WORKS SIDING
EVENING NEWS:

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Your editorial in Thursdays issue
entitled BLOCKING Industrial Pro-
gress,' you say it is hard to under
stand any legitimate reason Tor de-
nying the application of the Stand
ard Underground Cable Company
for the extension of their siding
along High street to washington
street.
In the first place the writer Is
willing to concede that TINS part OF
Perth Amboy will eventually DO
used for manufacturing purposes,
but IL must not be forgotten that
many of the residents and property
owners who reside In this district
have resided there before most OF
these factories located there. AT
least seven of these property owners
are widows, some with orphans TO
take care OF. Dc you, Mr.. Editor
think that 1t would be fair to those
widows and orphans for the Board
of Aldermen TO grant permission TO
the Standard Underground Cable
Company to lay Il railroad track boO
feet long by 13 feet wide on II
sidewalk, when the laying or such
track would reduce the value OF tho
property of the aforementioned
widows and orphans? The writer
thinks Il would not. You say that
railroad tracks now take M part OF
the sidewalk on this part of High
street. That Is true. But there are
no records in the city hall to show
that permission was granted to lay
most of them, and some OF them
were laid at night when all men
except policemen are supposed to
be In bed.
In the second place what would
the Standard Underground Cable
Company be willing to give to
The city of Perth Amhoy for this
very valuable grant OF 66Ox13 feet,
the monetary value of which Is I'M
mense? From timo TO time Mr.,
Editor you tell the reading public
that the city should have more
parks, better Fairgrounds. n last
though not least, bathing beaches.
The city of Perth Amboy is not over
hurdened with money, consequently,
II cannot do better than II is doing
along the aforementioned lines. But,
rs a. Straightforward business prop
csition, don't you think it would be
inst and fair for the Standard I'M
foreground Gable Company to so to
tho Board of Aldermen. and say,
"gentlemen. there is a strip of land
$50 feet long by IS feet on High
street. that we want for our bust
ness. We know it is valuable, and
we will give the city of Perth Amboy
SO much for 1t. and we VIII take
care of the people whose property
We may injure by laying the rail-
road tracks which we need" and
hat money could De used for
beaches, parks or Fairgrounds.
Then / think the people of this city
would be satisfied with whatever the
Board OF Aldermen would do in the
matter.
The time is past when public ho-
alas can hand over TO millionaire
corporations the lands and public
highways gratis without first getting
the consent of the people who ere
directly concerned.

ATLANTIC CITY MANS NAME
TAKEN FROM STACKER LIST
BY GEORGE ii. MANNING,
Washington Correspondent of the
Perth AmbOy Evening News

. ACIAu ShhtDoy Sttiiihb ANt"o
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. The
War Department today admitted its
error In placing the name OF Ben
jamin Wary, of 220 Houston avenue,
Atlantic City, on the Stacker" list.
Wary rendered honorable service
during the World War, and his
name has been removed from the
list Of alleged desertNrs from the
draft, the department asserts In u
statement issued on the subject.
The error arose through Wary be-
ing recorded on the army records
as Benjamin M. Morey. He was
also known in the army as Marez.
When Wary failed to return the
QUESTIONABLE mailed to him by the
local draft board early in 1913 he
was indicted into the service on
March J., 1918, and notified to re-
port for duty. Failing to report
he was certified as a Stacker"
The army records show that one
Benjamin M. Morey. enlisted De-
cember 6, 1917 at Fort Slocum,
N. r.; served with the 6S0th Aero
In Headquarters Company
No. S33, Labor Battalion, Q. M. c..
and was honorably discharged July
8. 1919, at Camp Dix.
The corresponding items of hte
draft record and of the Army Ser
vice Record are sufficiently similar,
the War Department admits, to var
rant the conclusion that both rec
ords pertain to one n the same
man but states that because of the
difference In the spelling of the sur
name tlfsfo WAS but little likelihood
Of Identifying the two records as
pertaining to the same man. unless
attention was called to the particu-
lar case.
