NEW YORK, Sept. $50 far as
the New York publishers and Off
cess of the International Printing
Pressmen's and Assistants Union
are concerned. the strike of press
men on the New York dailies, begun
at midnight last Monday, is ended.
The publishers last night signed
an agreement for members of the

presses deserted by members of the
local Web Pwessmen's Union No. %,
which dissolved through revocation
of its charter.
However, the members of the OUT
lawed union may have the oppor-
tunity of returning to work under
International union cards, and they
will meet tomorrow to decide finally
their course of action in this re-
spect. When the terms were first
made known to them last night the
1000 members of the old union
hooted and jeered and shouted they

TRENTON, Sept. 22-That the
stage is all set for fight to the
3 finish between the "wets' and the
''drys' when the Republican State
Convention meets just after the
coming primary was the belief OF
political observers today following
the action of a large group of the
men leaders of the party here yes
terday in adopting fiat footedly res
olutions definitely repudiating any
sympathy which the party might
formerly have had with the cause
of the "drys' as outlined in the
Volstead act 1t was another meet
ing of the "old time" Republicans
and all present have known leanings
toward the moist side of the liquor
question.
The resolutions adopted were pre-
pared by the committee named at
the last meeting of the odd timers
This committee was to draft a set
of ideas on the liquor question and
the matter of drafting II platform
which would represent the ideas OF
Republicans generally as we'll as the
candidates, who now are supposed
to draft this document under the
Geran Act" The committee brought
in it's report yesterday and 1t was
adopted for the consideration OF tne
official state convention 10 be mace

amendment prohibits the use or IN,

A resolution calling for referen-

AID MEMORIAL
BRIDGE MOVE
Legion Post to Name Com
mittee to Work for State
Bridge Plan

A. new play to push the new state
bridge as a memorial for the SOL
dier dead of New Jersey was made
at the meeting of the Amboy Post
No. 40, American Legion, last night,
when it was decided to appoint d
committee at the next county meet
ing to visit the various county or
ganizations in the state in an effort
to secure more assistance in push
ing the project when it appears be-
fore the legislature.
At the present time several coun-
ties throughout the state have failed
to declare their willingness of fav-
oring the movement, and in view
of this Middlesex county legionnaires
will do all in their power to have
the state organization in a mood
when the matter comes up at the
legislature to pass it unanimously.
The county meeting is scheduled for
some time early in October.
The local legionnaires with the as
sstance of those from other posts
throughout this district created
quite some interest in the idea at
the state convention recently. and 1t
is believed that it will take very
little effort to turn the entire state
department toward favoring the
plan.
Arrangements are being made un-
der the direction of Senior Vice
Commander Joseph Mclaughlin, for
the dance to be held by the local
post on November IL, Armistice
Day. The chairman of the dance
announced last night that the affair
would be the biggest ever in the
history of the local legion.
