Seek Other EmpIoyment

WILKES BARRE. Pa, April A.
The fourth day of suspension of op-
erations in the anthracite coal fields
of Pennsylvania, found many of the
$4,000 idle mine workers seeking
employment in other local indus
tries. Others were preparing to
leave the district. some for their
old homes in foreign countries.
Large numbers have already left and
each departing train carried its
quota.
Many withdrew their savings from
banks and said they did not expect
to return.
Except for maintenance forces,
exempted under the suspension or
der mines in the three hard coal
districts were deserted. None OF
the cole lies have made attempts TO
operate and everywhere quiet 7
walls.
Most Of the railroads piercing the
coal regions are cutting down their
forces as a result of the tie-up.
Hundreds of coal train crews have
been laid off and large number of
clerks AMI repairmen will be effect
ed if the suspension is continued.
The Erie shops at Susquehanna and
Dunmore have been temporarily
closed.

WANT GREATER
CAS- RATE GUT
Aldermen Not Satisfied With
Reduction of Only
Ten Cents

Not satisfied with the decrease OF
ten cents per thousand cubic feet an
nounced last week by the Perth AM
boy Gas Light Company, the alder
men last night unanimously adopted
a resolution presented by Alderman
Robert A. Mcguire, requesting the
gas company to give the residents
of this city a further reduction OF
five cents per thousand.
The old rate of S1.40 per thousand
was reduced to s1.30 last week by
the local gas company but as this
amount Is still five cents more per
thousand than is charged in other
parts of the state, the aldermen feel
that the residents here deserve the
same consideration and consequently
had petitioned the gas company for
further decrease.
Failure on the part of the gas
company to, comply with this re-
quest of the aldermen may result in
the city taking the matter up with
the Public Utility Commission, the
aldermen being of the same opinion
on this matter. If the EliZabethtowl
Gas Company, which supplies
large portion of the gas to this city
can supply Elizabeth with gas fol
S1.25 per thousand. the aldermen
maintain. there is no reason why
Perth Amboy should pay $3.50.

Matter Will be Taken Up at
Conference in New

PITTSBURGH. April 4-F'irst dis
orders in the West Pennsylvania coal
district were reported from Fayette
and Washington counties this morn

act on the reported offer of inde-
pendent producers to grant the
strikers nineteen wage demands i'm

The first step, according to Mr.
Golden, who is a member of the

MOVE TO PUBLISH AMBOY'S
PART IN WORLD WAR

Action on the preparation of a
history of Perth Amboy in the world
war was requested of the Board of
Aldermen last night in communica-
ton from Harold Z. Pickersgill as
president of the Perth Amboy His
torical Society. The communication
was based on a resolution passed at
the last meeting of the society. when
the organization went on record as
in favor of the compilation of such
history. Nothing definite was
done by the aldermen on the matter
last night but it was referred to the
committee of the whole.
Under state laws of 1921 there ex-
lists statute authorizing municipal
tiles of the state to appropriate funds
for the preparation of such a his
tory. The item is to be included in
the regular budget If possible but
in the law provision is made for
emergency appropriations for the
work.
Copies of the history compiled by
the city of New Brunswick have
been inspected here and comments
have been extremely favorable.
Among other things such a history
is intended to contain complete
record of the military records of the
local soldiers. as well as the activi-
ties of the civilian population. The
New Brunswick publication is rich
in illustrations.

FREL|NGHUYSEN
AGAINST BONUS
U. S. Senator, in Statement,
Opposes Measure Passed
in the House
BY George H. Manning
washington. Correspondent of tn
Perth Amboy News)

Perth Amboy News)
WASHINGTON. April .s.-Senator
Joseph S. Frelinghuysen formally
announced today his opposition to
the soldier bonus bill. Although it
has been generally believed he
would oppose the bonus bill in its
present shape, his statement issued
today is his first public expression
on the subject.
He will oppose the bill in its pres
ent form, he says. because it pro-
vides no way of raising the money
to pay the bonus with, and because
he is opposed to the certificate plan
of paying it, believing it unsound
and unsafe.
His statement reads as follows:
when the so-called bonus legis-
lation was proposed last July. wrote
to the Secretary of the Treasury
asking hif what effect its passage
would have upon the Treasury and
the finances of the country. His
reply clearly indicated that it would
be disastrous to pay the bonus at
this time and this position was en-
dorsed by the President in his mes
sage to Congress, in which he stated
he felt it's passage would seriously
embarrass the Treasury. then voted
to recommit the bill.
"Since that time the measure has
been proposed again in the House
and various methods of taxation con-
sidered to meet the obligation which
would be incurred should the bill be-
come a law. AS a member OF the
committee in the senate which Will
handle such legislation, / have been
unwilling to express my opinion in
advance of knowing what form the
LEGISLATION would take and how the
funds were to be raised for its pay
ment.
'The bill passed by the House pro-
vides no ways or means to raise the
money for its fulfillment. Ordinari-
ly congress passes legislation with
out carrying Herewith the provision
! for raising the funds necessary there
for, but the bestowal of the bonus is
not ordinary act. I do not know OF
any such measure which has even
been before the congress which con-
templates taking so large a sum
from the public treasury for any
given purpose. 1t is because l be-
lieve in a consistent program that L
feel that congress, in distributing SO
large public fund, owes 1t to itself
and the country to make provision
for raising that fund. The certificate
plan for a cash bonus contained in
the House bill is. in my opinion, un-
sound and unsafe. and therefore l
cannot vote for the measure.
