Jersey Legislature
Ends With Defeats
For Gov. Edwards
Turbulent Session Marked
by Overt,lrning of Execu-
tive's Netoes and Ratifi-
cation Of the Dry Statute

TRENTON, n. j., March l8.-The
146th session OF the New Jersey Legis-
lature, which adjourned at an early
hour to-day, freed the Democratic
Governor, Edward l. Edwards, from an
incubus in the form OF u Republican
majority that since January has dis
turbed both his dreams and his wal.ing
thoughts
Bitter fights between the Executive
ana the Legislature marked the entire
session. Their most embarrassing
the New Jersey National Guard .nfan-
~ brigade. They also fought over The
New Jersey commissions in charge Of
the New York-Jerscy City vehicular
tunnel and the Camden-PhilAdelph
bridge project. Both Of these commits
sions were thrown out of Office BY
legislative action.
In spite Of these ruptucea The Legis~
laturc enacted many laws Of import
ance, some of them over the Governors
Yeto. Among the measures passed iusc
before adjournment were bill provid-
ing for enforcement Of prohibition, .

One act that was particularly dis
pleasing to Governor Edwards was the
rati,ication Of the Eighteenth Amend
menJ TO the Federal Constitution. Gov
ernor Edwards vas elected on q plat
form promise to make New Jersey "as
wet as the Atlantic Ocean" A com
mission was authorized and appointed
to negotiate FOR the purchase of the
Morris Canal in New Jersey. Tie canal
Vas built TO provide cheap means Of
transporta tior for coal, but later vas
acquired by the Lenigh VALLEY Rail

One OF chc proposals now is to make

Among measures that Jailed Of pas

Garment Trades
Seek a Million
AS Strike Fund
Shop Chairmen Told to
Speed Up Collections
to Meet Possible
Emergency ON June |
Ready for Finish Fight
Intervention of Hoover or
Davis Not Feared by
Schlesinger, Union Head

Two thousand shop chairmen Of the
garment trades were advised yestcr-
day to speed up the collection Of Il
$1,000 defense fund in the event
of possible strike when the present
contract between the unions and the
employers expires on juno I.
Inc advice was given by Benjamin
ochleslngcr, president of the Tnterna-
honal Ladies' Garment Workers, at q
meeting Of the joint board of the gar
ment workers unions in Cooper Union.
The meeting had been called for the
purpose of acquaintng the shop chair
men with the existing situation in the
industry. This situation, Mr.. Schlcs-
niger said was serious.
IT was apparent also from the re-
MARKS Of the various speakers that
the employers were almost sure to in
corporate in the coming contract some
clause which would alter tho present
agreement as TO the return to piece work,
the standard Of production and the
arbitrary discharge of workmen-all
of which the unions would prefer to
have left as they are.
Have No Fear of Hoover
According to Schlesinger the trouble
II there is any trouble, is not expected
to arise from disagreement over a
wage scale, but rather over an altera-
tion Of The essential standards of work
and life. He said that he would rathe.
not sec a strike. but that if the en-
ployers forced the issue, the unions
would fight to the finish and that even
the intervention of the Secretary OF
Commerce or the Secretary of Labor
would avail nothing.
As for the efforts which have al
ready been made By these two secrc-
taries to bring about an Investigation
Of The garment industry with q view u
making constructive suggestions and
also to bringing about 8 more a!nicable
understanding between the employers
and the employees, they would seem t.
have accomplished nothing.
1t would seem from letter read q,
the meeting by Schlesinger, answering
d joint message received by him from
Secretary OF Labor James J. Davis and
Secretary o. Commerce Herber'
Hoover, that the union prefers 20 take
part in an investigation which would
not be restricted to the workers alone
but would also Investigate the entire
industry here.

A RULE OR RUIN POLICY

AS great as is the need for q metro
politan Democratic newspaper in
Missouri the Democrats of the state
will view the detection OF the Kan
sas City Post with no very great re-
greet. Neither newspaper nor indi-
vidual with rule or ruin policy has
any place in the Democratic party
and when such take themselves out
it is to the ultimate benefit rather
than the party's detriment.
The subterfuge OF the Post is too
transparent to deceive even the least
informed. 1t has forsaken the sup,
port OF man against whose record
it could utter not even the breath of
criticism to support one whose
every official action and even whose
private history has been lampooned
and Whitfield within its own columns
time without number.
Making the excuse that the Demo-
cratic nominee is the candidate OF
the bosses" it turns to the support OF
man whom every school boy knows
vas nominated at the dictation of the
