State To Fight
Coast Pollution
National Body Having That Aim
Backs Silzer Plan, Says Note
To Resort Mayor

Trenton.-The National Coast An
ti-Pollution League has rendered its
service toward ending the pollution
of the New Jersey coast by the dump
ing of garbage along nearby shores
and oil refuse discharged from steam
ers.
In behalf of the league Secretary
H. Phinney has written to Mayor
Clarence Hetrick of Asbury Park, Of
fering to cooperate in making effec-
tive the suggestions recently made
by Governor Silzer, but suggesting
that the oil waste nuisance presents
SO serious a problem as to require in
ternational agreements. Mr.. Phinney
wrote in part as follows:
Governor Silzer's six suggestions
Of definite steps to take to secure re-
lief are very much to the point, and
we offer fullest cooperation in bring
ing them to pass. We will help you
arrange a New Jersey regional meet.
ing. We ourselves are arranging a
Long Island meeting, the time and
place to be settled within a few days.
You will note that five of the COVER
nor's six points cover pollution from
garbage and one deals with pollution
by oil from steamships. The garbage
trouble is relatively a transient con-
dition and by taking the steps out
lined by the governor can no doubt be
cleared up.
Oil Problem Complex
"The pollution by oil, however, is a
more fundamental, permanent and
universal difficulty, involving techni-
cal legislative and international ques-
tons that are by no meal simple of
solution. The problem is growing
rapidly in extent with the rapid in
crease in the use of oil burners by
steamships. Only a permanent and
universal solution will give real salts
faction.
THE oil pollution problem is one
important phase of the great ques-
ton of conservation of natural re-
sources for the use and enjoyment of
the public. From all over the country
this office is receiving complaints Of
tar and oil on bathing beaches. with
C"OuSeQueuL uHdLCldI losses, the Qe-
NAL to the public of a p~leasurable
recreation and even serious damage
to health from bathing in polluted
waters, as was pointed out by DR..
Royal S. Copeland, health commits
sioner Of New York, at the January,
1922, convention of the New Jersey
State League of municipalities. We
also receive reports of the destruc-
ton over wide areas of the oyster
and fish industries and of game birds,
not to mention disastrous harbor
fires resulting from tar coated piers
and wharves.
There has been general agree
ment, both at the congressional hear
ings in 1921 and at our 1922 confer
ence, that any satisfactory remedy
for oil pollution conditions necessi-
tates federal legislation directed
against oil dumping within the three
mile limit, international agreements
prohibiting the same beyond the
three mile limit, uniform municipal
and state legislation to the same end,
and to secure those ends without I'M
due burden on steamship companies
we need the fullest technical infor-
nation as to suitable devices for TAX
ing care of refuse oil.

 Mir. Pointer is quoted as declaring that fl Henry Ford declined to ac- cept nomination by third party. it's organization would proceed and an- other man chosen 10 lead it. The statement was made in connection with reports that convention of Ford for president supporters would find itself divided between those ra- yoring tho Detroit manufacturer as n democratic candidate for president and those believing his success could be assured only on an independent ticket.

PASSION PLAYERS
 HERE ID GET FUNDS
Arrive in America on Mission to
 Aid Countrymen

New York, Dec. 12.-Anton Lang and ten other villagers from Oberam- mergau who appear in the passion play arrived today on the Reliance to tour the United States and exhibit their wood carving and pottery in order to obtain funds with which to make up deficit for the play and, if there is any surplus, to relieve post war distress among Bavarian chil- dren.
 Except for Anton Lang, who has visited the Holy Land and Italy, none Of today's arrivals ever had been out Of Bavaria and most of them never had ventured far from their native village. Anton Lang alone spoke English
 Besides Anton Lang. who plays the part of Christ, three other principals were included in the ra were Andreas Lang, Sr., who has ap- peared as Peter; v.u.aJ
 plays Judas; and Joseph Ap:ecnt, who portrays the Apostle James. They will not give the passion play in this country, nor permit its being filmed, because of tradition which las ruled that it must not be given outside Of 0berammerGau.
 Lang closely resembles the conren- tionalized artists conception of the Saviour. His beard is that histori- eally depicted in art; his hair flows down to his shoulders.
 He has laughing blue eyes While he said that he felt upliftcd while playing the part Of Christ, hs cX- p!ained that he was not conscious of being inspired or of being directed by any spirit
 His statement stood out in sharp contrast 10 that made by Princess NCrina MaCbabcli of Italy, who arr rived yesterday on the Majestic to take tho role of the Madonna in the Miracle, The princess who said she had not been trained for the stage, Haid she acted while in state amounting almost to one of self hynopsis, in which she felt herself directed by a spiritual double.

!: ORGANIZED LABOR LEADS

Every trade unionist should be
thrilled at the battle organized labor
is making against plutocracy and
greed.
At no time in its history has the
organized movement resisted so many
flank and direct attacks.
These attacks are not only against
wage scales, working conditions and
trade unionism as such, but they in
clude challenges to the very prin-
ciples of democratic government.
The anti-union campaign, waged
since the armistice, has never been
excelled, either in extent or unscrup-
ulous vigor. Every power at the COM
mand of autocratic capitalists has
been wheeled into the fight.
The result is evident--labor was
never more militant. The spirit of
labor is unscathed.
The public is finally realizing that
labor is correct when it insists that
wage reductions lessen the workers
consuming power, and that this pol
icy intensifies industrial depression
instead of relieving it.
No other group of citizens are re-
sisting encroachment of the judiciary
Labor's voice is the one clear-cut pro
test that fearlessly and repeatedly
calls attention to these "sappers" OF
our governmental institutions.
Labor alone has opposed cheap
wage employers who would Chinafy
America by first admitting coolie la.

cause the movement is in its essence
so spiritual, so we'll worthwhile the
finest and most unselfsh service any
one of us can render it. And it is
this nobility of purpose, this abso-
lutte and fundamental integrity which
gives the labor movement warrant to
bid us forget the disappointments, ig-
more the destroyers, and repledge our
faith and enthusiasm, anew in the
great destiny of labor.

from one of the meanest proposals
plutocracy is capable of.
Another daring plan would deny a
preliminary hearing to citizen in the
jurisdiction of his domicile when ar
rested by order of a federal judge in
another jurisdiction.
This attempt to legalize kidnapping
has been approved by the senate,
where it was sneaked through without
publicity.
AS in other crises, labor raised the
warning cry. Every A. F. of L.
affiliate has been notified of this men
ace to American guarantees and law
makers have been called upon, again
and again, in language easily under
stood, that they will be held to strict
account if the federal judiciary of this
country is given a power that would
shame the founders of our nation.
Trade unionists may well be proud
of their movement. It's record of
Americanism speaks for itself Deeds
count-not words.
The comedy in these contests
against plutocracy are the lecturers
and advisers of labor who have nc
connection with the trade union
movement who would gladly assume
the task of leading" the wage-earn-
ers. This element strives to attract
attention to non-essentials, but they
are always absent at the battle roll
call.
The workers should glory in the
triumphs of our weather-beaten, time
tested trade unionism.
Heads up for everyone!
