URGES
CIVIC BODY
Lions Hear of Chamber OF
Commerce Work
Paid to Late President

Judge Abe ]. David, of Elizabeth,
was the speaker at the regular week.
ly luncheon of the Lions club today
at the Packer House. and in an in
spring talk urged that O Chamber
| of Commerce be formed in this city.
The Judge started his address with
a tribute to the deceased President,
and then in a talk that was almost
a heart to heart conversation with
the local Lions, told them of the
careless and liberal manner in which,
not only pleasures of life are taken
nowadays, but the careless and slip
shod way even the important mat
ters are dealt with by the American
people.
years before the war and the great
| change that has come over the ma
ton, in the way of luxurious loath,
that is fast keeping big cities on the
roadside, while the other municipal-
tiles are stepping away into the path
of progress.
He asked that the local o%rganiza-
ton here do their utmost IN an er-
fort to bring about a live Chamber
of Commerce, saying that no conn
munity is more progressive than a
Chamber of Commerce. and no
| Chamber of Commerce is progressive
without the individual support or
everyone of its members.
UNLESS the city has the spirit TO
take the initiative of things of I'M
portance they Will remain that much
| behind the other cities in this move,
he said, as he told them that a
Chamber of Commerce here was
never needed like it Is necessary at
this time. He then delivered a mes
sage from the Elizabeth Lions, ask
ing that every man in ,his commun-
ity, who has business ability ana
pride in the progress of this city,
to take it upon himself to look out
for the interest Perth Amboy, sac
rifce some of his time to the matter
of this important civic development,
so that in time to come Perth Am
boy will be taking q gay step in n
line of advancement with other cit
les.
Albert Leon was chairman of to-
days luncheon and following Mr.
| David's talk told the local members
that the message delivered by n
| Elizabeth man was a timely one. He
said that his one hope and~t thought
was to see Perth Amboy in a short
time with an active Chamber OF
Commerce. He urged the local
members to get behind the move
ment.

president of the Public Service Cor
poration. Mr.. McCarter had prev
lously written to Judge Osborne, rep
resenting to him that further con-
ferences with the men on the sub
ject of the settlement of the strike.
Judge Osborne's letter to McCarter
reads in part as follows:
THE public is entitled to trans
portation facilities and should your
company and its former employees
assume an arbitrary and unreason-
able attitude and thus make the
prompt resumption of service i'm
possible the present jitneys will be
augmented sufficiently to give the
public adequate, permanent service"
Judge Osborne then went on to Of
fer the following points rs a basis
for negotiation between the con-
tending parties, which might solve
the situation:
AN immediate conference be-
tween your (McCarter's) %represen-
~tatives and the representatives of the

ability to pay some increase in

of time, the amount and the time to
be agreed upon in conference, and
to be consistent with the prevailing
wage in the industry and with the
company's resources.
THAT the company take such
steps as may be necessary to effect
a reorganization of its financial
structure. This is to include the
possible relinquishing of the oper-
alton of non-paying lines, not nee
essary to coordinate the service as
a whole where it is apparent that
auto buses could better and more
economically serve the public.
THAT the cooperation of the var

reduced to a minimum, and the pub
lie afforded a more comprehensive
and efficient transportation system.
1.-THE result may assist the COM
pany in meeting the present situa-

I'm agreeing to such conference.
however, I would not consider either
party committed to or bound in any
way by the foregoing suggestions,
which are merely tentative and Offer
ed with the hope that both sides

gard to the public interest may find
therein a common ground for the
