NEW BRUNSWICK, March 25-
There seemed to be little doubt here
today that Circuit Court Judge Pc
ter F. DAILY would enter the contest
for Democratic delegate from this
county to the national convention.
County Judge John p. Kirkpat-
rick, Governor Silzer's spok In
this fight, was questioned concern
ing the truth of reports that Judge
L 4ly's petieions would be circulated
and he admitted the probability thai
the nominating petitions would be
placed In circulation by friends the
latter part of this week. 1t is gener-
ally known that Judge DAILY does mol
seek the nomination but has con-
sented to run as a favor to Governor
Silzer who desires him as a delegate
rather than Assemblyman Fred w
De Voc of County Chairman Ed
mund A. Hayes.
Assemblyman De Voc could not be
reached this morning as he was In
Trenton. Neither could Chairman
Hayes be located, the word at his
office being that he was out OF town
Those wlo have been closely follow
ing the developments of this hgh1
for the position of delegate placed
considerable significance upon the
absence of the two candidates and
ii was common talk that both were
in Trenton for the purpose OF con-
ferring with Governor Silzer on thls
ma ter.
Although De Voc has expressed a
willingness to withdraw from the
race in favor of Judge DAILY on con-
dition that Hayes does likewise, the
county chairman has fatty refused
to leave the field open to the circuit
court judge. 1t is admitted by DE
Voc that he hopes TO be made spe-
cial counsel to the State Highway
Commission and as such an appoint
ment must be favorable to the gov
ernor, his willingness to withdraw
In favor of Judge Daily is explained
AS far as can be learned there Is
nothing of a similar lucrative ma
ture which would induce Hayes to
lavorably consider dropping from the
race.
There was report in circulation
Yesterday that County Judge RUM
Lawrence of Monmouth county
would become a candidate for dele
gate and would be Judge Daly's rum
ming mate, the two names being
bracketed on the ballot. There is
possibility Of Judge Days name be-
Ing bracketed with another candl-
date but 1t will not be Judge Law
renee, 1t was said this morning In
authentic quarters. Congressman
Elmer H. Geran is the other candi-
date from this district and his mar
will be bracketed with that of Chair
man Hayes. according to present
plans.

LOCAL LABOR
Well Represented at State
Federation Convention
at Springfield

Hamilton organized labor is well
represented at the annual convention
of the Ohio State Federation of Labor
being held at Springfield this week
Following are those attending and
the craft they represent: Peter
Schmitt, carpenters; Jack Scheaf,
stage employees and moving picture
operators; Edward E. Weiss, printers;
Frank Mooar, metal polishers; Stan
ley Ogg, iron molders. Ogg is also
sixth vice president of the State Fed
Grafton.
Several matters of much impor-
tance to the organized workers
throughout the state will come before
the convention, interspersed with
political questions, and in all of
which the Hamilton delegation will
plunge with both feet, letting the con-
vention know that Hamilton is pres
ent.
1t is predicted that the election of
state officers will bring some sur
prises, and that for the good of the
cause the convention may get off the
beaten path of the past.

STEEL EICHT-HOUR
DAY
Not General According To
Survey; Probes Show
New System Pays

New York.-Two reports on the
shorter workday in steel mills, which
has been in operation one year, re-
fute the claims made by Judge Gary
and other steel barons in May, 1923.
One report is made by Iron Age,
spokesman for the steel industry, and
the other is survey by Miss S. Adele
Shaw, of the Cabot fund. This fund
finances researches in industrial
problems.
The reports sustain trade union
claims that the eight-hour day is not
the rule in this industry. Miss Shaw
says large proportion of employees
engaged in basic steel processes work
more than 10 hours day, while the
eight-hour men generally work seven
days a week. This report emphasizes
that the steel industry "has by no
means gone to an eight-hour day and
six-day week" The reductions
that have been made, however, "have
had a marked social effect upon the
workers." and testimony is over
whelming to the effect that the move
ment toward shorter hours has had
beneficial effect on production.
Presidents Of steel trust subsidiar-
les furnished the information to Iron
Age. A summary of these reports
would indicate that the long hour
workday is yet in vogue and that the
eight-hour men work seven days 9
week, with one day off "if they want
it."
Low wages is the driving force that
compels men to labor II hours, which
is quite common in the Pittsburgh
district
A feature of the two reports is the
refutation of direful prophecies made
by Judge Gary and a committee O
steel officials to the American irol
and steel institute on May 25, 1928
This report was the last desperat,
stand of the steel barons to resist
| lowering of hours, which they wer'
forced to adopt two months later be
cause of agitation started by th
nationwide steel strike.
The cost of production would b
increased Is per cent, if the 12-hou
day were abandoned, said these bust
ness men, who are now forced t.
acknowledge that this claim has no
been verified. 1t was also claime
that 10000 additional employees woul,
be necessary. This, also, has no
proven true.
The reports by Iron Age and tn
Cabot fund proves the necessity fo
organization in the steel industry.

Washington.--In one of the bitter
est criticisms ever made on the
supreme court of the United States,
Justice John Ford, of the New York
supreme court, informs Senator La
Toilette that he will support the La
Toilette Wheeler ticket. The federal
high court is declared "an absolute

Denouncing the "reactionary plat

and true servant of plutocracy as its
candidate for president"

Poisonous Flouer Bulbs

Daffodil bulbs, which superfcially
resemble onions, have sometimes been
eaten for them by mistake and have
caused serious poisoning. A case was
reported not long ago in Edinburgh,
where a cook took daffodil bulb for
an onion and used it TO flavor stew
subsequently eaten by five persons.
All were made acutely sick before the
end of the meal. All recovered in Il
few hours and apparently suffered no
after effects Of the dose The poison
ing is supposed TO be due 10 prin-
ciple known as "narcissne" found In
the bulbs of daffodils and jonquils.
Persons keeping daffodil bulbs in the
house should take care that they are
not confused with onions.

Beginnings of Music

The beginnings of musicmaking, as
II is practiced by uncivilized people.
offer curious reading. Among savage
tribes, II Is said, the earliest acquired
musical phrase IS derived quite dis
tinctly from simple howl, the notes
gliding down or up scale by semi
tones. And Sayages repeat over and
over again one phrase, their satisfac-
tion in having mastered which is child
like, AS the people rise in the scale
of intelligence their favorite musical
phrases grow larger and become more
