METUCHEN, Sept. 1S.-A monu-
ment to the memory of Charles s.
Edgar. the new Young Mems Chris
tan Association building. was for
mally dedicated and turned over to
the board of directors of the organi-
cation yesterday by Mrs. Charles s.
Edgar, d. Raymond Edgar and w.
Edwin Florence, the executors APP
pointed to carry out the will of MIR.
Edgar, in providing an institution
for the betterment of the young nlen
of his home town.
Together with the presentation of
the handsome and well equipped
building was a check for $4,000 as
an endowment fund provided by Mr..
Edgar to assist in maintaining the
building. Not only vas the ground,
building and endowment fund PRO-
vjded for in addition to the provi-
stems made for furnishing the
ground, building and endowment
fund by Mr.. Edgar during his life
time. his widow did not hesitate in
seeing the good work carried to
completion, when it was learned
hal the available funds would not
permit of the completion of the
SPACIOUS auditorium, and an addi-
ticnal $1,000 was contributed by her
self, individually, for that purpose.
The auditorium in which the Ge6i-
cation exercises were held, was fill
ed to capacity with standing room
at a premium. Members of the
board OF directors, the executors and
state and national Y. NJ. G. A. work
ers who were present were outspoken
in their pleasure in seeing the In
terest displayed in the institution by
the townsfolks and predicted that
the success "of the workshop to
mold the future of the towns young
men," was directly in line with wnat
Mr.. Edgar had intended to build
about the time he was called away.
d. Raymond Edgar, a nephew Of
Metuchen's benefactor, presided at
the we'll arranged exercises, and Mr..
Florence presented the deed to the
property and the endowment fund,
while Mrs. Edgar turned over the
keys to the building. Mr.. Milton c.
Nook, president of the local Y or
sanization, received the gifts for the
town.
Mr.. Florence in turning over The
property to the Y. NJ. c. A. said in
Fart: This is the consumation of
an ideal of Mr.. Edgar and the carry
Ing out OIL lue uulltS ueSiSidlco ny
him shortly before his death, and we
feel that the trust has been fulfilled.
Mr.. Edgar told me at the time
his will was drawn hat he intended
to erect a Y. M. C. A. building for
the benefit of the young people of
the town and he would have ac-
complished magnificent results lad
he lived.
while Mr.. Edgar was not n
wealthy man as we measure wealth
today, he not only provided for this
beautiful and useful structure but
used his wealth for the service of
mankind by remembering lis
church with a substantial sum, gave
the land for the public school which
bears his name and provided the
site for a beautiful park for the sole
benefit of his fellow townsmen."

include a beautifully furnished

Guiding Kerensky's former secre-
tary, Boris S1aYinkof, ,-were arrest
ed in Genoa by the Italian police on
Sunday, a dispatch to the Daily
Herald says.
Slavinkoff arrived in Genoa un-
der a false name with a forged
passport, and the police found he
and his companions had a plan OF
the hotel at which the Russian
soviet delegation is staying.
The correspondent says that Sla-
yinkoff, since the bolshevist revo-
luton in Russia, has been the chief
link between the French govern
ment and the succession of anti
bolshevist military leaders, and
that a month or two ago he was in
London in close consultation with

PUBLISHERS TO
FIGHT 44-HOUR
WEEK IN SHOPS
A. N. p. A. Head
Asks Greater La
Dor Efficiency.

New York, April 26,-Placing the
full weight of the American News
paper Publishers association
against any effort to introduce the
44-hour work week into newspaper
shops and declaring that there can
not be any reduction in newspaper
advertising or subscription rates at
this time, T. r. Williams of the
Pittsburgh Press, and president of
the association, called on the mem
bers at the opening of the annual
convention today to eliminate waste
in the newspaper plants of the
country and get behind the ap-
premiership school movement in
order to prevent shortage of
skilled help in newspaper plants.
Calling attention to the achieve
ments of President Harding, him
helf a publisher, Mr.. Williams
urged his hearers to follow the ex-
ample of their illustrious fellow
craftsman and, as he had led in the
scrapping of engines of war to
promote international cooperation,
for the publisher to scrap the jeal-
ousies and animosities that in
their ultimate results are harmful
not only to those on whom they
are used, but to those who use
them as well. Only by this method
will this association obtain its full
est results, he added.
Undoubtedly one of our chief
needs is a further lowering OF the
cost of production and the elimina-
tion-of wilful waste" Mr.. Williams
said. THE former lies chiefly be-
yond the immediate control of the
publisher; the latter is entirely be-
meath his own roof.
"As a further alleviation of the
high costs of production, many in
sist that labor costs are too high
and that the chief end to be sought
is a reduction in the wage scales
of skilled workmen. While it is
conceded that some reduction is /
order from the very top-notch
prices still being paid, and while
these reductions seem certain to
come in course of time, yet there
is another and, l think, better
light in which to consider this
problem-securing greater and
more efficient returns from labor.
Publishers generally are not
averse to giving labor a high wage
in keeping with the experience and
skill required by the business, but
in return they have a right to in
sist upon a days work in con-
structive labor producing some
thing of real value to the en-
ployer."
During the period of business
readjustment we have been pass
ing through, the publisher has bean
forced to look out for the elimina-
ton of waste, increasing of effici-
ency and lowering of costs on every
hand. Is it not a good time for
the newspaper printing trades
unions to do likewise? In this day
of industrial economy, when low
ering the cost of producing the ne
cessities of life means so much to
the welfare of mankind. does it
not seem strange that trades unions
should have in their code of laws
regulations designed exclusively
for the purpose of creating jobs,
and not producing usable produc-
ton for the employer
