THE FREEHoLpERs ACT AT LAST

BY appropriating money for putting Amboy avenue In
fairly passable condition the Board of Freeholders show
signs of coming to their senses. They are acting more ike
public servants willing 10 please the people rather than like
a lot of school boys showing how petty they can be. 1t is TO
be hoped that this action toward putting the road in repair
is the forerunner of further action that will bring about q
quick settlement of the whole affair and that before another
year rolls around the route between Perth Amboy and Wood
bridge will not only be in first class condition, but will fol-
low the shorter course across the present lands OF the Barber
Asphalt Company thereby beneftting the county and public
generally in a great many ways.
When any highway is called upon to carry such traffic
as passed over Amboy avenue on Memorial Day t. is the duty
of the officials having charge of such highway to build the
best road possible, sufficiently wide and always maintained
in the best condition possible. All that is asked of the county
is to put this road in as good condition as possible and return
it to the city. Perth Amboy is ready to do its part in putting
the whole thoroughfare in first class condition and the State
Highway Department, realizing its Importance, is willing to
go the limit in making this stretch of highway second to
none in the state. The work would have been under way by
this time, no doubt, had ii not been for the refusal of the
~freeholders TO act after. they had previously agreed to the
plan.
1t is necessary that such filling as will be required in
the new route across the Barber land be completed before
winter so as to have the winter and spring for settling, thus
making it possible to complete the paving early next sum-
mer. r..

THE clTY'S GREATEST ASSET

H. Another big class in Americanization and citizenship
, has been graduated at the Y. NJ. c.. A. The foreign born
who receive a diploma from this school are certain of their
citizenship papers because their training goes far beyond
the requirements of the law. But it means even more than
mere citizenship, it means Americans in every sense OF the
word.
This is one of the greatest works being carried on by
the Y. M. C. A. in this city. Few people realize the extent
of the activities of the association along this line for not
only are the classes held twice a week in the public library,
but Secretary Lareombe of The y. NJ. G.. a., keeps in con-
slant touch with the men in the various industrial plants
throughout this section, holding nOon-day meetings and Civ
ing instructions and encouragement i'll every way possible.
1t is significant that those who received their certificate
of graduation Wednesday, night were not only qualified as
far as the requirements of citizenship are concerned, but
passed the night school examinations as well. This means
d thorough grasp on the rudiments of an English education.
II is interesting, also to note the large number of local
concerns that are benefited by this citizenship work on the
part of the Y. M. c.. A.. In this one branch of The Y. NJ. C.
work the industries are receiving good returns for the con
tributions they make toward the support of the institution.
In addition to this work, however, there is the industrial
leagues in which teams from the different plants are rep
resented for basketball, voley ball and bowling, all tending
to hold the men together in a spirit Of friendly rivalry that
cannot help but mean a great deal for the community.
Then. again, the Y. NJ. C. A. dormitories make most
attractive living quarters for many men employed in the
local Industries, furnishing every convenience and whole
some surroundings.
IL is only when some such event as the graduation exer-
cises that took place Wednesday night occurs that public
attention is drawn to the Y. NJ. C. A. and the work it is doing
in so many different lines. The institution with its magni-
fcent building is, perhaps the greatest asset the city has. 1t
surely would be an awful loss to the city if it should ever
have to close its doors. But when it is accomplishing such
work as it is now doing there is no danger of such a thing
happening.
The fact remains, however, that the Y. NJ. C. A. has got
to be generously supported if it is to keep up its good work
What better investment can a community make?

ROADS YOU'D LIKE

If you drive a car, you'll be interested in this: When the
government finishes up the roads it is helping build, the coun-
try will have a network of 10000 miles of surfaced main
highways, connecting Atlantic and Pacific coasts and our
northern and southern borders.
To travel over that much road, you d have to drive your
car 80 miles an hour, "a hours a day, for $50 days.
Road projects under way in 1921 amounted to nearly
65 900 miles-about IL times across the continent and back.
During the year Uncle Sam and the states built 1880 miles
of federal-aid highways.
We are developing a great civilization, here in America,
for road building is in all centuries the measure of progress.
The speed with which. compared with former civilizations,
we have flung a network of good roads through our wilderness
and mountains and across our plains, is a little short OF
amazing.
The first state bodybuilding program was started only 1O1
wears ago in Kentucky, when Abraham Lincoln was a boy of 12.
Traffic-on-wheels originated in China and Egypt, where
carts were first invented.
Those first carts moved on wheels and axles carved out OF
one solid piece of stone. 1t took centuries for man to con-
ceive of the axle being separate from the wheels. N
The old Romans, master road builders, had 20 paved high
ways out of Rome. Over pavements of bricks and mineral
cement they drove their numbering chariots with iron-rimmed
wheels.
Joy-riders of those days lounged in reed-work baskets
mounted on solid wheels about a foot thick.
Think of that when riding in a fivver seems bunny.
Mans battle for good roads has been going ON for thous-
ands of years, ever since prehistoric man cleared a path
through the jungles.
1t may be that the roads of the future will be in the air.
with flying machines carrying passengers and freight.
That, however, is bound to be a long way off. 1t is good
to dream about. But, meantime, let's keep our feet on the
ground and get behind the good-roads movement stronger
than ever. Prosperity and recreation come slowly over bad
roads.

WASHINGTON, u c. May 81
Whether it is in the general interest
to have a basic industry. such as
coal, part union and part non-un-
ion. is one of the important ques-
tons TO which public scrutiny has
been invited, not to say forced by
the nationwide strike which was
begun on April /. Union mine work
ers and anti-union operators say that
there is but one answer to the ques-
ton, although their W are
diametrically different. The miners,
through their Spokesman. such as
John L. Lewis and Philip Murray,
respectively president and vice pres
ident OF the United Mine Workers
of America, declare that il the coal
industry was completely organized,
all the ills and evils that characterize
il would be speedily cured or cor
rected. Also the public would be
saved millions of dollars On its an
nual coal bill and spared the gen.
eral upheavals incident to strikes,
and shutdowns.
Anti-union operators, on the other
hand, assert that it is their success
full opposition to unioniZation that
prevents complete union domination
OF the industry, eventually leading
to the taking over of the mines by
the workers, and that preventing
unionization protects the public
against a fuel famine when a strike
or shutdown, ccurs in the union
fields, and against exhorbitant prices
for coal under normal conditions.
Many union operators agree with
the officials of the mine workers
that ii would be for the best inter-
ests Of everybody concerned if the
industry were 100 per cent organized
and say that there is no hope for
stability of production and regular
ity of employment until uniform
wages and working conditions pre-
vail at every mine in the country.
They also urg that ii is unfair that
the large body of operators who pay
union wage scales. observe union
hours and subscribe TO union
working conditions should be sub
jected to competition with the indie
pendents who can make their W
terms with their miners and hence
produce coal at a cost materially
lower than the cost at union mines.
Other union operators say that II
1t were not for the fact that there
is a considerable part OF the indus
try unorganlzed it would be impossi-

DOUBLE DECK THE FERRYBoATs

The suggestion made to The Staten Island Rapid Tran
lit that its f~erryboats plying between this city and Totem
Vile be made with two decks so that the entire lower deck
can be devoted to automobiles thereby enabling four lines
instead CT two, the foot passengers using the upper deck ex-
cIusivelv. is an excellent one. Such a change ought not to
he difficult to make. The Pennsylvania railroad, we under
stand. has adopted this plan for its boats between Jersey
City and New York.
With the new boats being put into commission between
The Battery and ST. George, Staten Island, the number Of au-
tomobiles coming on TO the island will be greatly increased.
n Is essential that facilities be added at this end to permit
them to get off. The delay of swo or three hours in this
city waiting for a turn to get on the boat makes this route
unattractive to thousands Of autoists. The situation could
r. greatly relieved by doubling the number OF cars on the
