Sommer, 794 Broad St. Long Distance Telephone.9^ Entered at Post-Office as second class matter. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1903. An offort is being made to iniDrove the conditions of Amercian shipping. It is pointed ont that the United States in 1810 with a population of about 7,000,000, had a tonnage of 981,000 while now with 80,000,000 population, the tonnage is but 873,000. In 1810 American ships and American sailors carried 91.5 per cent of their country’s ooean trade. Last year American ships conveyed only 8.8 per oent of our imports and exports. While the merchant marine of the United States has continued to fall off, other countries have been doing everything possiblo to enconrage theirs. This is not the state of affairs Am ericans like to see. If congress should pass a law at its coming session en couraging American shipping the, oountry would reap a great beneiA B Perth Amboy would ded prosperity. Con 11, who represents this federal government, ’,os the true situation r.ded upon to do the e sees it. tio signals, <Sf which pected in preventing collisions between trains, could only keep people off the tracks when a train is approaching, they would bo a wonderful invention indeed. It is hoped that the next improvement of any magnitude in this city, will be elevated tracks. MMaaanMRMRMn 5HSBSH5BszsESHsaszs2 |Mea—gasac3«gCTCT^W?«Mii*5?5kSagSe5aSg5a5g»*SiaMl S ORGANIZED LABOR. I A strike of the Tile Layers’ Union, at Providence, R. I., which was in augurated in June, is still on, al though the members are winning gradually. The agreement calls for an eight hour day at $4 a day with no apprenticeship system. r The strike of [the boilermakers on the Omaha system at St. Paul, Minn., has been settled, the men accepting the offer of <3.60 a day for ten hours’ work in the St. Paul and Sioux City ■hops and <3.45 a day in the round house where the boiler repairing is done. A concerted movement is on foot in Chicago to bring about a uniform wage scale for the 50,000 locomotive firemen employed in the United States. A meeting of the Executive Board of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men is scheduled to open in that city for the purpose of formulating an agreement to be presented to the var An increase of wages is to be asked, ranging from 10 to 20 per cent, accord ing to the'advance the different roads will be compelled to pay, in order to reach the uniform scale. The move ment is especially directed against the Eastern roads. Concessions on both sides arc draw ing the employes of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the company’s officials nearer a settlement of tho disputed questions which have been the subject of a number of confer ences. Representatives of the men and of the! oompany have met and both sides found opportunities to give and take. The men abandoned the request that the use of the double headers be stopped, and the company conceded a request for relief of firemen on towing engines at coal stations oij the Phila delphia division. The railroad yield ed on the switching griovancle. The request that the company pay the expenses of the njon wh|r> came to Automobiles approaching any cross ing on Smith or State streets should be run slowly. The drivers too often depend on their ability to stop the machine at a moment’s notice. Some time the brake may fail to work and a fatal accident might be the result. It is entirely against the law to speed automobiles on the city streets, let alone when approaching a crossing. New Brunswick is now cloying the use of its new federal building. If Congressman Howell vyafcts to make himself real popular iaJPerth Amboy he will get the^ork started on the building to be erected here as soon as possible.1 The Woodbridge township commit tee has done at least one good thing in the trolley matter. It has fixed the next hearing for a regular meet ing night. This will do away with the extra session which has come to bo a great waste of time. EDITORIAL COMMENT. Governor Murphy appears to have overlooked the fact that he gave notice last spring of his intention to have the tuberculosis sanitarium appropriation made binding in case it was necessary for him to call a special session of the Legislature.—Newark Evening News. Work on the improvements to the avenue station will be begun October 10, according to the Central officials. Remember the date, and do not for get to celebrate the occasion in due form.—Elizabeth Times. Baltimore to present the grievances was not decided. This question of expense involves a considerable sum, probably'more than the aggregate benefits, if all the de mands are granted. Four organiza tions are represented in Baltimore, and some of the men have been there nearlj two months. At one time the committee numbered 100 men, but some of these have gone home. The expenses of the men and their allow ance foot up $8 a day apiece. For 100 men this would be $800 a day. The expenses of the whole crowd have been estimated at high as $35,000. The indications are that at the final conference the difficulty will be final ly adjusted and all danger of a strike averted. Advertised Letters. Mrs. M. Jowett. Hemning Larson, J. D. Leizenam.'R. H.
