Industrial Prosperity
Continues Here AS
Plants SIncreaSeFOrceS
Federal Report Most EnCour-
aging to Perth Amboy and
New Jersey
By GEORGE III. MANNING
washington Correspondent of the
Perth AmbOy Evening News)


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE in
crease in industrial employment
was remarkable in November in
country generally, with almost every
line of business showing the greatest
expansion OF any month since last
January, when the upward move
ment got really under way.
The greatest gains were made in
the iron and steel industry, usually
reliable barometer of general
business, with large but slightly less
advances made in tobacco, textiles
and metals, according to the month
ly industrial analysis of business
employment for November made by
the Employment Service. U. S. La.
Dor Department, and announced to-
day.
In Perth Amboy the industrial
conditions were strengthened dur
ing November, the report states
with employment steadily increased
In many lines. The local industries
are expanding actively with full
forces, and with some plants work
ing overtime. There is no let-up
apparent in building construction
There is shortage of skilled labor
ers, masons, plasterers and carpen-
ters and female machine operators
An even greater expansion il
general business was prevented by
inadequate rail transportation. To-
bacco employment displayed re
markable recovery from the depres-
sion of the previous month Rail-
road repair shops made further en-
ployment increases, but labor diff
culties still prevail on some lines
There was also greatly increased
employment in the oil industry,
particularly in the southwest.
Fifty-three out of the sixty-five
leading industrial cities of the coun-
try reported increased employment
during November over October, with
two others remaining practically
unchanged. In the remaining eleven
there were slight decreases in the
number employed.
Among the cities in New Jersey in
which increased employment was
reported in November over October,
were Camden, Trenton, Passaic,
Elizabeth, Perth Amboy, Jersey City,
Paterson and Newark.
New Jersey: General-Industria
employment is making progress in
almost every line. Major industries
throughout the state show decisive
recovery from depression and are
operating at a fast pace. Employ
ment is more widely spread than
for past two years. Open weather
has increased outdoor employment.
Activity in construction work con-
tinues unabated. Shortage of
building trade mechanics evident in
all parts of the state, especially in
the larger cities. Scarcity of COM
mon labor, factory and mill workers
obtains. SILK mills operating full
time, some overtime. Iron and
steel, metals, machinery. textiles.
leather and linoleum industries show
improvement. General develop
ments during the past few months
indicate that the remainder of the
year will witness further industrial
advance.

less calm and composed.

daughter of the slain man. who lived
with Mrs. Brunen until the time of
her arrest, was among the witnesses

Jaeschke of Chicago, the dead mans
sister, was with her. The first man

Considerable mystery surrounds

and watched the flames sweep from
one end of the 100 foot craft to the

made to get a tug from the Lehigh
Valley Docks, but none were avail
able, but that one was later sent over
from the Pennsylvania Railroad coal
docks at South Anboy. Firemen to-
day were pointing out the need of a

take four or five stitches in the
wound.
The house boat which was named
Loudown, was the property Of John
Hughes of New Brunswick. No one
could be located today who could
say whether or not the craft was in
sured.
The cause of the fire may always
remain a mystery. There Is a ques-
tion as to whether or not any 'ne

was learned today that the lights on
the craft were automatic and did not
always need the attention of a care
taker. However, the fact that the

gave cause for many rumors. and in
order to learn the true facts in the
case, Fire Chief Andrew Anderson
and several firemen are making an
inspection of the remains of the ves-

The craft was formerly owned by
Lewis Nixon and was taken by him
Up the Raritan river. While anchor
ed near New Brunswick, the vessel
sank and remained, under water for
some months. Finally 1t was pur-
chased by Mr.. Hughes and brought
to the Perth Amboy Dry Dock Coru-
pany here where it was renovated
and put in good condition. This
! work was done in June. The vesse!
was formerly driven by steam. but
according to reports from the dry
dock company. the power plant had
been removed some time ago. At
the present time it is said there were
no furnishings on the craft.
Following the investigation of the
remains of the vessel today. Chief
Anderson. reported that no evidence
of life was found aboard the craft,
but the remains of two Oil stoves and
an oil heater probably were the ex-

A blacksmith shop at C. Pardee

NEW LEAD IN
HALL MURDER
MiddIesex County Authorities
in New Move to Solve
Strange Case

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. Ii
A new lead has come to the atten-
ton of the Middlesex county au-
thorities who are still working on
the Hall-Mills case in an effort to
bring about solution and, accord
ing to information secured today,
the prospects are considered bright
for solution of the mystery.
It is generally understood that an
otehr effort will be made to have
the new Somerset county grand jury
return one or more indictments in
this case, and this new angle may
result in the additional information
being secured which will make pos
sible the finding of at least one true
bill by the grand JEry.

INFERENCE Of
PREM|ERS ENDS
TOAvERT SPLIT
Question of German Repara-
tions Brings Serious Crisis
and Parley is Adjourned
FOR EIGHT DAYS
British Reject Measures of
Force for Ruhr Which
Poincare Insisted Upon

LONDON, Dec. 11.-A.P. Ad-
5ournment of the premiers' confer
ence tonight for eight days in order
to avert an open rupture between
England and France over the ques-
ton of German reparations has been
virtually decided upon it was learned
today.
The British cabinet rejected the
measures of force for the Ruhr dis
trict upon which Premier Poincare
insisted.
Premier Poincare demanded the
occupation of the Rhur as a guaraa-
tee for a German moratorium
Prime Minister Bonar Law inform-
ed Premier Poincare that British
public opinion was overwhelmingly
opposed to any military measures
against Germany.
The conference probably viii re-
s1me its session in eight days in
London or Paris. Meanwhile, it IS
hoped that some guarantees may be
found which will satisfy the French.
and at the same time make military
action unnecessary.
It was stated in French circles
that adjournment was merely a
maneuver to prevent an open break
among the allies, particularly be-
tween Fra--ce and England, and that
there was little likelil' ood of finding
a common basis of agreement.
1t was further pointed out that IN
spite of Premier Poincare's desire to
cooperate with the new British gov
ernment, he has been forced largely
by the political situation at home to
demand the Ruhr as the price OF
any concessions to Germany.
1t was stated in an authoritative
American quarter that the chief
hope of bringing the British and
French together during the period
OF adjournment to which the con-
ference now seems doomed lies with
the United States. 1t was said By
this authority that England probably
will ask the American government il
it Is willing to cancel French debt
to the United States provided Eng
land cancels the French debt 10
Great Britain and at the same time
enters a definite agreement with the
American government to ultimately
pay the British debt to America
It also was said in American cir
cles that definite agreement to pay
the British debt to the United States
was accompanied by a proposal of
long period OF sixty years in which
only interest would be paid. II was
explained that this was on the the
ory that the United States was pri-
marily interested in securing the ul-
innate payment of the British debt.
rather than an immediate settle
ment.
In conference quarters it was the
view that France has indicated her
willingness to give up military PEN
alties in return for cancellation OF
debt by the United States and Great
Britain and would be ready also 10
give a long moratorium TO Germany

Washington : INahO Wheat Growers
Pleased by Honesty of Farmer
Members.

Growers in the Washington-Idaho
Wheat Growers Association have cut
down the amount of 1920 overadvances
from 1925, 900 to $4,000. according TO
trously low prices at the ned of the
rotary treasurer. Those overadvances
we're the result of the top prices that
prevailed at the beginning of the 1920
marketing season, followed the disas-
trosuly low prices at the end of the
eason
Growers whose wheat was sold
early were paid advances on a fixed
percentage of the market price at the
time of sale. All wheat in the asso-
citation went into a pool and the final
returns proved considerably less than
the first growers had received. I'M
der the terms of their contracts they
must refund the difference between
what they received and the final
average price, the total difference
being represented in the 1925, 900
They have refunded $150,000.
Many Settle With Cash.
Many growers have settled in
cash, said Mr. Adams. "Others, lack
ing funds with which to meet the
orveradvances. have given their notes
to the association and settlement has
been authorized in deductions to be
made from the crop to be pooled out
of the 1922 harvest. Settlement IN
many cases has meant real sacrifice
but they have been met as Willingly
as if the association had been press
