 The apparent success on the part of the Pape faction in gain ing control of the second ward conference last night means, it is felt, that a fight will ensue at the primaries for if the Pape forces attempt to dictate their delegates in the second, as well as the third wards, for the voting on Septem- her 9th, the regular forces will en- ter an opposition ticket. It is well known heretofore, that former Controller Elmer Parker is a candidate for the mayoralty and it is also expected that former Prosecuting Attorney Emil Hum mel might enter the race. The Pape forces it is said, are ready to back former Postmaster A. N. Col grove. In the background, as "a dark horse," is R.

JObless Relief Need Is Put
at Eight Millions

Trenon, N. J.-New Jersey must
have $8,000,000 to $12,000,000 in
addition to what is left of a $20,000,-
900 bond issue to finance unemploy-
ment relief to the end of 1888, John
Colt, relief director, informed Gov
ernor Moore.
During the first half of March, Mr..
Colt said, there were 115,000 families,
totaling 489,300 persons, on the state
relief list. Expenditures were at the
rate of S2,5O0,000 per month. This
amounts to a trifle more than SIS per
capita, or II cents day for each
person, figure which scarcely hints
that jobless Jerseyites are idling in
luxury. There has been steady in
crease in the number of unemployed
since last August, Mr.. Colt told the
governor.
Governor Moore declared he would
call conference of legislative lead
ers to consider the situation and that
he hoped loan could be obtained
from the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration. This would require approval
of the voters, the governor said, and
pointed out that the question could be
submitted at the election next No

Berlin (ILNS)-The international
Federation of Trade Unions reports
that the senate of the free city of
Dantzig has passed legislation for the
introduction of the 40-hour week. The
law provides that in every possible
department or concern working hours
should be reduced to 40. If employ
ers and workers cannot come to any
conclusion, either side may call in the
arbitrator.
In addition, the senate has made a
regulation under which, if the effect
of the installation of new machinery
and apparatus is to cause a reduction
in staff, then permission has to be OBJ
tanned before it can be installed. This
is said to be the first official step in
Europe to combat chronological un-
employment in this way.
