With House Leader John Buckley, Fred L.. Perry, also representative from New Haven, he lined up on the side of Capital in trying to ens1ave the workers by passing the enti-strike bill. Ford and Perry not only voted for it but urged it although both knew the sentiment of New Haven citizens was against any such measure.
 When Ford was nominated for mayor by the machine in spite of his stand Labor got busy and showed him where he got off There is some talk of dissension now in democratic ranks and the inside" believes that they can put Ford over. If it can and does, then Organized Labor in New Haven isn't what 1t should be.

takes in with the other hand in taxes. He pointed out that in two years the state has paid out in unemployment relief only one cent in every eight cents 1t has collected for beer taxes and beer taxes are paid by the work ing men.
 Further charges are made by C1ynes that the government has created such rules and reg1atoins for drawing un- employment relief that it has actually deprived many of the benefits to which they were rightfuly entitled
 C1ynes and other Labor leaders are diligently striving to arouse the rank and file of the working classes to a demand for more active effort on the part of the government to end unemployment, for they fear that un- less unemployment is ended it may end trade unionism and the Labor movement.

BUILDING TRADES TO KEEP UP WAGE
 AND TEACH YOUTH
Convention at Portland Shows Great
 Strides Made Already and More Coming Soon.

There is no likelihood of reduc- tions in the cost of building labor in the immediate future, according to a survey of the labor situation in the building industry made public this week. The survey was compiled by s. w. Straus & Go. based on data gathered at the convention of the Building Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor at Portland, Ore, at which 85o,ooo or ganized building craftsmen of the country. were represented.
 "The attitude of labor as 1t was ex- pressed at the Building Trades De- partment convention and in reports and statements by the leaders of or ganized labor indicated that in some trades still higher scales can be ex- pected with a continuation of present activities" the survey states. All building labor is employed at the present time, according to the reports of union officials
 "The number of apprentices is in creasing rapidly, it was announced and the attitude of the majority of organizations was indicated as being favorable to the removal of all re- strictions The advent of these ap- prentices is expected by labor leaders to be factor in stabilizing wages within the next two or three years.
 "Stabilization of the industry to mitigate the evils of labor migration and seasonable employment was urged at the convention. t
 "It also was urged that, in the in terest of the entire industry, building activities should be kept going nor ma1ly rather than to endeavor to make up the present building short age through abnormal activities over a short period The hope was ex- pressed in this connection that con work on types of buildings lar1y public buildings, be temporarily deferred and that the efforts of the

The Labor men had lot to do with that defeat and it behooves them now to get busy again and either stop Ford before he is nominated or to line up at the polls and give him an- other trimming. Ford is now in business for himself and has plenty of time for politics and office holding, especially in the winter when the road work in which he is principally engaged is slack. When he was rep resentative he was a member of the National Pavement Company, branch of the asphalt trust, and acted accordingly on every bill that came before the legislature that might benefit the workers.

PERTH AMBoY's PERMANENT ASSET

~ There is much significance for Perth Amboy in the prediction
III a new industrial era which, it is believed, will follow the con-
version of coal into electric power at the mines. Frederic D.. HAS
| lin who writes a daily letter for the Evening News, discusses the
subject in an interesting manner in today's letter published in an
other column.
"When electric power is made universally available, at a ma
terially reduced cost, ," he says, "innumerable small manufacturing
establishments will be opened that can compete with the greater
nlants in the larger centers of population, and the tendency will be
toward the decentralization of city populations, the pullolng up IL
rural industrial centers and the working out OF tremendous changes
in the economic and social fabric of the nation.D
while II is going to take some time to bring about this reyolu-
tion there is every reason to believe that the prediction Will come
prue. AS the industries spread out into the rural districts, the
large centers will have to look to other means than manufacturing
10 maintain their prosperity. In this connection Perth Ampoy is
particularly fortunate. No matter where the manufacturing Is
done the raw materials and finished products will always have to
he shinped. In fact, commerce will be greatly stimulated by the
increased number Of small industries. By developing her water
front then, and being prepared to handle vast volumes OF shipping
both bv rail and water, Perth Amboy need have no fear OF any
scattering Of industry.
Cities having excellent harbor facilities may look upon the
coming new industrial era with complacency. In the first place
industries will remain as near the shipping centers as possible
especially if power can be carried to these centers a t a reasonable
cost. But even though the location of industry may be uncertain
there is nothing uncertain about a deep harbor and excellent ship
n;no facilities. Here, then, is Perth Amboy's permanent asset.
Everv cent nut into waterfront development is money invested for
the security of the future.
This is something the Board of Aldermen should keep III
mind in their coming conference with j. Spencer Smith, president
of the State Board of Commerce and Navigation. An opportunity
to get federal aid to develop the harbor here is now afforded. 1t
IS up to the Board Of Aldermen. The future of the city rests in
the decision they will make.

STRONG MEN

Why marvel at the engineering skill and power displayed
by the ancient Egyptians in moving the big stones for the
p~yramids9 In Chicago the other day they moved a seven-story
building IS feet, in widening a street. The building weighs
Is million pounds.
While the movers were transporting the big structure at
the rate of four feet an hour, its elevators continued operating,
and running water, telephone and electric service were main
tanned as usual.
"some jobi will be the average mans comment. And
he's right.
Dead men helped move the big building in Chicago, for prob
ably nine-tenths of the mechanical "tricks'' employed in the
moving were worked out by former generations, long since
gone back to the dust.
The inventors of the lifting jack, the principle Of rollers,
ropes, cables, block and tackle and windlass-all these in
ventors helped move the Chicago building. So did many other
men-including the creators Of the steam engine and the pa
tent intellects that slowly trained men to work together on
big undertakings.
Without all these forerunners, the Chicago building
couldn't have been moved an inch.
Economists have an expression, sfthe dead hand"-the
process of men continuing their work in this life, long after
their death, by their discoveries and accomplishments which
they bequeath to generations that follow them.
The principle of 'the dead hand' operates all through
our daily lives, We puff with vanity as we observe our accom-
~plishments and modestly admit that we're the mightiest gem
Grafton ever. But we're really the harvesters of the effort Of
the many generations of the past. They sowed the seed for
us, as we are doing for the future.

BUS OWNERS 1NTIM1DATINe TACTICS

The Allied Bus Association is keeping up its intimidation and
threats against the candidates for the legislature. 1t openly boasts
that it has raised large fund to carry on its campaign, has hired
a set of high priced lawyers, and is going out to "get" any man
who dares defy it. :.
In one of the articles sent out a a part of its publicity cam
paign it says "the bus men have facilities for reaching a large
portion of the voters and no candidate who is at heart a Public
Service man can hope to go through the campaign wHhou having
his position made clear to the public :" This apparently means that
any man who is not for the buses is for the Public Service and
will be treated as an enemy.
This association made itself more or less obnoxious before the
primary by its intimidating tactics. It is keeping it up upon an even
larger scale for the general election. 1t is to be hoped that tho
various candidates for the legislature will have independence
enough and backbone enough to det this arrogant organization
that bids fair to become as Objectionable as the Public Service
has been.
The weakness of the bus owners position is shown by the
way they set up a straw man in order to knock him down. In the
latest propaganda sent out by the association the chairman, in ii
statement, says: IT am convinced that the so-caned five cent fare
plan is a subterfuge which is being used by the Public Service
Company as a club to eliminate the buses a S a competitive system
of transportation But everyone except the chairman of the
bus association, apparently, knows that the five cent fare expert
ment was suggested by the Public Utility Commission, and was
put into effect in the large centers of population with more or less
reluctance by the Public Service.
The right answer to all this propaganda by the bus owners
is for the coming legislature to enact laws that will compel the
buses to pay a whole lot more toward the maintenance of the high
ways which they do so much to wear out, and to so operate their
buses that they will not be a menace to other vehicles on the road
Incidentally, candidates who permit the Allied Bus Association to
dictate to them may find that such Influence as the bus owners
have is more than off set by those who look upon this bus combin
alton, with all its threats and in~timidations in the same light as
they look upon the Public Service. Thus far the buses have had
everything their own way. 1t is about time to see that competi
ton in transportation is made more nearly equal

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON
FOODS THAT MAKE BLOOD
(CarbOhydrates)

The carbohydrates are a pleasing,
palatable food. In this great group
are many sweets that tempt the ap-
petite to overindulgence. If you Will
associate the name of starch and
sugar foods with this group, 1t will
help you to become familiar with its
prominent members.
The carbohydrate family is loaded
with sweets, many of them most ex-
cellent blood foods. They form blood
for building muscle tissue, which Is
burned up by work and exercise
They are often wonderfully well
combined with some foods of the
protein group in their makeup.
One may easily classify the lead
ing foods in each group after a little
study and be able to balance ones
daily ration to the best advantage
Be careful of overweight by the free
use OF carbohydrates. They otter
supply excess p%oundage, as they are
taken frequently between meals BY
careless eaters.
Now for a few selected carbohy'
drates to aid you in your choosing
a proper amount and sufficient va
riety in your diet.
Baked beans or lima beans, beets
turnips, sweet corn and raw cab
bage are leaders in the vegetable lint
in this group. If the cabbage II
cooked with the so-called boiled din
ner, use a separate c%ontainer, so thu
fat or grease from the beef Will no
coat it over and greatly reduce
saliva action.
All the vegetables are rich in car
bohydrates. Our old friend, raw on
ion, is valuable as a digestive aid anC
elimination agent. Baked potato II
by far the best method OF cooking
the pomme de terre.
All the cereals are leaders in thii
group. Rice, oatmeal, corn meal
corn flakes and macaroni being
favorlte. Fruits and fruit sugar are
strong carbohydrates. Apricots
dates, figs and prunes are blood
building fruits in this group. Make
| all the jokes about the prunes vol
wish, but keep on eating them fol
breakfast. Honey, maple strip and
molasses are almost 100 per cen
efficient members.
For a drink Of carbohydrates
grape juice leads the list. Lemon
juice and buttermilk come next il
value. BE careful of eating too mucf
sugar, bread or cereals in your dali.
diet. Mix your carbohydrates will
ieafy vegetable salads, preferabl.
raw.
There is no need to advocate TIL,
use of milk as a great food. l
should be used plentifully to balanc,
up your food ration with the carlo
1~hydrates.
