FIGHT IN n. D. PRIMARY


Washington, d. C.-The eyes Of po-
litical Washington are centered upon
the North Dakota primary, in which
Porter ]. McCumber. chairman of the
Senate finance committee, is facing q
terrific struggle for denomination.
While the word which has been com.
ing into the East from the Flicker
tall state has been none too encour-
aging. Republican leaders are still hop
ing that McCumber will win the
nomination against Lynn J. Frazier.
former governor
There is no disregarding the fact
that there is great anxiety over the
situation among leaders on the Repub.
lican isde In the Senate.
Various Eastern papers are giving
much space to the North Dakota con-
test For instance, a special dispatch
to The New York Herald from Fargo,
states that the betting in North Da'
kota, is even money and shading to six
to five that McCumber will go down to
defeat. The Washington Herald prints
q dispatch which predicts that the con-
test will be extremely close.

Dozen Mines Closed.

Knoxville, Iowa-The first demon
stration OF union sympathizers In Iowa
since the coal strike started nearly
three omnths ago resulted in the clos
ing of approximately a dozen small
nOn-union wagon mines.
Following q mass meeting OF strik-
ing miners at the nearby mining town
of Pershing, scores OF automobiles
loaded with strike sympathizers start
ed out visiting all the non-union mines
operating within q radius Of approx
imately 20 miles.
Workers in the non-union mines
wer told to quit work, In all instances,
according to reports. these requests
were Immediately complied with.
1t is estimated that Their were ap-
proximately 400 men employed in the
non-union mines within a radius OF so
miles OF Pershing. where the agitation
to close these mines appears to have
had its origin.

COMMITTEE.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-02-20
WHAT ABOUT GRADE CROSSINGS?

The city seems to be working up a pretty snarl over
The matter of grade crossing elimination. Unless the great
EST is taken nothing will be accomplished in spite of
the fact that the city has been agitating grade crossing elm
ination for many years. 1t is a most Illuminating spectacle TO
see the city standing in the way OF its own Improvements.
The blame has been on the railroads heretofore. Now it will
be on the city.
Ever since last fall the railroad company has been
ready to close with the city on the question OF crossing ellml-
nation. It was then announced by the railroad company tnat
IL would like to begin actual work in the spring. The city,
due to the lack of a plan and failure to know exactly what 1t
wanted, was not ready for this sudden move on the part OF
the railroad company. The city was forced to ask for delay.
This delay was followed by others until finally the matter
was put off until the first of March.
Now. with the first of March only a few days off and
xhe time about at hand when the railroad company would
like to have begun work, the city, apparently, is no nearer
knowing what it wants than it was six month ago. instead
of going at the matter at once in a bnslness-iike way as any
private concern would have done, politics began TO creep In
and in spite of the insistance on the part OF the officials that
their only concern was to advance The interest OF IN Guy, IL
seems that certain political favorites have got to be taken
care Of first. This has led to complications and so the mat
ter is becoming more and more involved.
In the meantime the grade crossings continue a men
ace to the thousands of people using them every day. Ohly
: few weeks ago there was another death at one OF the cross
incs and So il will continue while the city officials hagge over
nettv details that are nothing more or less than an excuse TO
plaYpoltical favoritism.
When the first of March arrives is the city once more to
nnnear before the Public Utility Commission and be made a
fool Of? 1t will be unless it is ready to make some DEFINITE
proposition. .u
As a matter of fact, the question of track elevation or
depression is something that comes within the Jurisdiction
~ 4 CITY plan. Had the city gone into the matter OF a Guy
plan several years ago it would have been ready lor IN ral,
road company when it offered its proposition ana II "ouiu
have known exactly what it wanted.
Today Perth Amboy has a City Plan COMMISSION maze
I'm Of high class, capable men. The only excuse IL can nave
for any further delay in the matter of grade crossing ehmi-
,at;on l. tbat fine whole matter is to be turned over this
commission and the commission has not yet had time TO
function, it is only fair to hold off to give it a chance 10
study the situation, secure the necessary advice anu Presen'
Iplans for safeguarding the city's interest.
