AID ON BROOK
AT WOODBRIDGE
congressman Appleby Urges
Action by FreehOIderS With
War Department

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. I'm
discussing the drainage of Hurd's
brook yesterday, Congressman Il.
frank Appleby said his advice was
that the freeholders Immediately
communicate with the War Depart
ment at Washington in an effort to
ear their plans for the lower end
Of Woodbridge creek, the d~isposing
Of which vitality affects any action
the freehloders may take to allevi-
ate the flooding nuisance at Hurd's
brook.
Congressman Appleby conferred
with the Board of Freeholders about
two months ago on the proposition,
which was under discussion by the
freeholders as the result of COM
plants received regarding the con-
ditions existing at the brook. Res
idents near the stream say it floods
over during wet weather and Is a
danger as well as as an inconven-
.enre.
Drainage of the stream was dis
sL.ssed thoroughly and the solution
Was found to depend largely upon
what the War Department did With
the upper portion of Woodbridge
Creek. The lower end of the stream
has been dredged from time to time
but because there are no factories
at the upper end nothing has been
lone there.
Congressman Appleby said yester-
day that the creek was considered
1 n~avigable stream as far up as the
mouth of Hurd's brook and that an
appropriation had been made by the
committee on rivers and harbors for
dredging. The amount is either 3d.
900 or $4,000, the congressman was
act sure which. At any rate he said,
he next move of the freeholders
should be to learn from the War De-
PAL tment something of it's plans. If
for draining the district
around Hurd's brook be taken now,
he points out, and the department
iater dredged Woodbridge creek up
to the mouth of Hurd's brook, then
he efforts OF the freeholders will be
SET at naught and additional work
will have to be done.
A review of Congressman Apple
oy's statement by the freeholders is
he prospect of e weeks session,
It is understood, and the board is
expected to follow his advice TO
communicate with Washington.

pettntors were of the opinion that thC
Clan McGraw was about to absorb ar
other annoying beating from the bands
OF the Mound City tribe, but rally in
the ninth and another in the tenth
gave the coup de grace" to the pen
nant hopes of both the Pirates and the
Cardinals. Few persons knew, and still
less cared, that the red birds could
have tied the Giants by winning ali
their games had the New Workers lost
yesterday and on all subsequent occa-
sions.
Rosy Bill Ryan is the finger who
gets the verdict for yesterdays frigid
pastime. McQuilan and big jeff Pfef-
fer labored through nine innings and
were locked in deadly embrace at A
runs all at the end of the regulation
number of innings Davy Robertson
batted for Red Mac" in the ninth and
struck out with fury, feat that Nc
Quillan could hardly have bettered. 1t
was glorious time for strike-out.
The bases were full, none were out
and Ross Young had just tied the
score. PfaNAG extinguished this threat
ening fare-pp before further damage
was done.
Ryan held the Cardinals in sub;ec-
tion in The tenth and PfeFer was tum-
bed into defeat. 1t was Long George
Kelly again to the fore. He watched
the Cards batter McQuillan for three
runs in the first inning and he tied
the score with homer into the Loft
field bleachers III the sixth. After the
Mound City athletes had apparently de-
cided tee contest with ran that broke
the tie in the ninth, Young doubled to
left and went to third as this same
Smith. batting for Cunningham, singled
to right and Young scooted home to
tie the score. Pfetfer pitched wonder
ful ball here. He walked Snyder to FIJI
the bases with mono out. Then he
famed Robertson. made Bancroft hit
into force-out at the plate and famed
Groh for the third out.
Frisch opened the Giant half of the
tenth with his third hit, 4 liner that
nearly knocked Pfetfer fat on his back.
Meusel sacrificed and Ross Young was
given TIE compliment Of an intentional
pass. This put the winning of the
remnant up to Uncle Billy Lange's
nephew, and Long George did the trick
with q single to left.
After the first inning McQuillan
pitched high class ball. The visiting
wa1lers got only eight hits all told.

THE W0RkINGMAN'S PAPER

of the United States | will use
the power of the Government to
prevent the labor unions of the
country from destroying the open
shop.
That's what Mr.. Daugherty told
the judge, for the benefit of union
men. 1t had long been suspected
that Mr.. Daugherty and his friends
in the administration had been in
terested in the protection of what is
falsely called the "open shop" which
means the shop closed to union men.
Mr. Daugherty evidently intends that
there be no doubt about the matter.
He is for the anti-union shop and
naturally against the union shop.
. 1t is evident that there were some
who had been unwilling to believe
that the administration hated labor
and was on the job to protect and
help employers in their reactionary
campaign to smash the unions. SO he
got up on the platform and pro-
claimed the truth right in open court.
1t now is a matter of official record.
just how the attorney general can
concern himself as a federal officer
EInU
and the anti-union shop is a matter
OF mystery to those who cling to the
belief that the constitution and the
laws of the country mean what they
say; but it isn't such a battling prob
lem to those who know how the game
OF politics is played in these piping
times of golf and maytlowers in
Washington.
What Labor Has Said About
lnjunctiOns.
The American Federation of Labor,
in its conventions, has repeatedly
declared that where unlawful injunc-
tons are issued Labor will treat those
injunctions as if they did not exist"
which means that workers win go on
exercising their lawful and constitu.
tional rights, refusing to recognize
a car on the bench as superior to the
Constitution and the law.
Mr.. Daugherty doubtless knows
about this declaration. He doubtless
knows by now also that his Chicago
injunction is not going to turn mil
lions of American men into enslaved
cravenS and that railroads cannot be
run by injunctions.
lS NhulS Nlt1iiS mas pteH an Illus
tration of how desperate and how
ridiculous an administration can be,
particularly when it is burdened with
political debts of which it is con-
stantly reminded. Nothing has shown
more completely how hopeless and
irresponsible are the present national
political leaders. Careful observers
recall that none is more dangerous
than the 'irresponsible-and that is
the really menacing factor in the pres
ent situation.
The strike viii be won. And after
that American government will be
won back to a constitutional basis
through the ballots of American work.
ers. What Mr.. Daugherty told the
Judge doesn't represent the win of
the majority Of Americans!

The Prize Fable,

The leather medal for the premium
fable of the month goes by unanimous
vote to the railroad propagandistS
who bunkoed the public to a finish
with the yarn about the train crews
abandoning their trains and leaving
their helpless passengers out in the
middle of the desert to die. Half OF
the editors in the country fell for this
colossal bunk, and even the President
OF the United States swallowed il
whole.
Moral: If the workers wish to get
the truth about industrial issues be-
fore the public, they must control
their own press and news service.
