KILLING THE GOOSE THAT LAYS OOLDEN EGGS
A new rumpus lias been started in the Board of Aider
men with the industries still the bone of contention. It
seems that the city has any amount of money to spend to
prevent the manufacturing concerns of this community—
the concerns that form the very backbone of our prosperity
—from expanding and increasing their business, but when
it comes to providing parks and playgrounds, band concerts
and other features that help make the city attractive and a
more delightful place in which to live, there are no funds
available. > t. -
If the members of the Board of Aldermen would spend
half as much time trying to devise ways and means for
making the people happier and more contented as they do in
trying to find ways for embarrassing the industries and mak
ing their existence here as unpleasant as possible, something
really worth while might be accomplished.
.When other cities are outdoing themselves m their ef
forts to attract new industries and assist those which they
already have to grow and increase their business, the popu
lar thing in Perth Amboy, as far as the aldermen are con
cerned, is to take just the opposite view. The city govern
ment, by its attitude toward local industries, announces to
the world that no new industries are wanted. By the man
ner in which they treat every request made by the industries
it is evident that the present city government is opposed to
all expansion and growth; they do not want more business
done here; they are against giving employment to more
labor; they are adverse to larger pay rolls and more money
being spent in the city.
W’hat other meaning can be taken or the antagonism
shown toward these great industrial establishments that
have made Perth Amboy what it is today aod upon which
the city must depend for its very life blood?
It is very narrow and petty to argue that to give the in
dustries all that they ask would be to turn the entire city
over to them for them to run for their own advantage all the
tuneT~Xny city official who puts up such an argument proves
with his own words that he is not big enough, not capable of
handling the problems of a municipality such as Perth
Amboy.
ror some reason or oiner, some 01 me men eieeien 10
otlice seem to think that unless they are constantly harass
ing the industries and jumping on them at every opportunity
they are not doing their duty. They are not big enough—
they haven't the ability to distinguish between co-operation
and friendly aid and the surrender of rights belonging to
the public for which the industries have no right to ask.
After a stagnation of nearly a year when the local plants
were all but shut down, many of them being kept in opera
tion at a loss merely to keep a working force together and
incidentally help some employes eke out a living, a revival in
business is apparent, but it is not yet assured. It is as if the
little spark that had been smouldering all through the hard
times had caught a faint breeze and had been fanned into a
tiny flame. By careful nursing and encouragement this
little flame may grow into a real blaze. Everybody must
help, however, and by all doing their part, pulling together
for prosperity, it can be accomplished.
Now. what is it that the industries, which are just be-j
ginning to feel the effect of this revival, are asking of the city
as its contribution toward making prosperity real?
They want railroad sidings. Could anything be more
reasonable? No plant can carry on large volume of business
these days without adequate railroad facilities. No indus
trial concern can do a small volume of business, even, with
out efficient and economical means of handling their
product.
The cable works want additional railroad facilities;
the dry docks want additional railroad facilities, and the
chemical works want railroad facilities, the latter industry
being without any at the present time.
All of these requests are tied up in court proceedings
and the city is responsible. In the meantime these indus
tries,, struggling to meet competition and-to bring more bust •
ness to Perth Amboy so as to employ more men here and
thereby put more money in circulation, are seriously handi
capped. Their local development is halted and they are
looking to their plants in other localities to extend their
work. They find the city government of Perth Amboy an
■^iagonistio toward them; they get the impression that they
arelratwanted; there is no encouragement to carry on their
development in Perth Amboy.
What is the result.'
The city finds itself at a point of stagnation. There is
little enterprise and no growth. People stand around and
wonder what can be the matter.
The fault lies largely at the city hall. The Board of
Aldermen fail to realize what their belligerent attitudo
toward the industries of this city means to Perth Amboy.
Such opposition as these concerns are encountering at every
turn will have an effect here that will be felt for years. It
is a policy that is doing the city untold harm.
Look after the city’s interest by all means, and protect
the rights of the public in every instance, but consider well
that is to the best interest of the city and what rights are
worth protecting.
A friendly attitude of co-operation, a pulling together
for the welfare of the city as a whole is the greatest need of
Perth Amboy today. And this applies to a\l lines of endeavcr
as to municipal affairs.

INDUSTRIAL CODE fOR COAL !
INDUSTRY DESCRIBED
Dally Delter by Frederic J. Haakln
WASHINGTON May 2—An In
dustrial code to govern all relations
between coal operators and miners,
and all adjustments of those rela
tions, may be the basis of the settle
ment of the controversy that has
threatened the fuel supply of the
country since April 1. Such a code
is the distinctive feature of the Ken
yon Bill, now pending in the senate,
which was the last contribution of
the former senator from Iowa to
ward the solution ot strike prob
lems.
Senator Kenyon Introduced this
bill in February shortly after the
committee_of which ho was chair
man had concluded its investigation
of the West Virginia coal troubles.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, succeeded
the Iowan as the head of the com
mittee that considers labor legisla
tion, and it is understood that he is
preparing to expedite action on the
Kenyon Bill, or on some similar
measure which will embody Its es
sential provisions. It is also stated
that President Harding is favorably
disposed toward tho bill. but of
course no one is authorized-to speak
for the White House in such mat
ters and as yet the President has
gone no further than to express his
approval of the general industrial
code idea in one of his messages to
congress.
The idea back of the proposed
code is that there are certain funda
mental principles or rights which
should he the basis of all agreements
between the operators and miners as
to wages and working conditions
and also to govern all settlements
of disputes in the coal Industry
which cannot be adjusted by agree
ment between the parties directly in
interest. At the same time, it is
argued, these basic principles. If ap
plied .will safeguard the interests
of the public which is indirectly hut
vitally concerned in every clash be
tween the mine workers and the op
erators.
In fact, a code of this character
may be looked upon as a bill of
rights for those who participate di
rectly in the coal industry and for
the public which the industry serves.
The rights which it defines may be
likened to the constitutional guaran
tees of freedom of person, freedom
of speech, freedom of assembly, et
cetera.
Precedent In Railroad Taw
Precedent for establishing such a
rode in the coal industry is found
in the Transportation Act of 1920
under which the railroads were re
turned to private operation. The la
bor provisions of that act. after cre
ating the Railroad Labor Board gnd
defining its powers and duties, laid
down certain rules or principles
which should be taken into consid
eration by the board in fixing wages
for railroad employees. That is to

say. the board should fix wages that
were Just and reasonable and in de
ciding what are "just and reaaona
blc” wages should consider (1) t*ie
scale of wages paid for simi.ar
work in other industries. (2) the
relation between wages and the cost
of living , (21 the hazards of the
work done. (4) the training and skill
required, (5) the responsibility rest
ing upon the workers. (6) the char
acter and regularity of employment,
and (7) any inequalities resulting
from previous wage adjustments.
Jn its decision the National
Agreement Case, the second big con
troversy brought before it, the Rail
road Labor Board went a step fur
ther toward the establishment of a
code for the transportation Industry.
The board promulgated sixteen car
dinal principles which it decreed
should be mandatory upon the nego
tiation of agreements between the
workers and the individual railroads
and upon the adjustment of the
grievances arising under such agree
ments. These principles included
among other things the obligation
resting upon workers to render faith
ful service, the right of employes to
organize and to bargain collectively
through such organization as they
elected to form, the eight-hour day,
he seniority rights, the classifica
tion of the workers, and protection
of the workers against being dis
ciplined without a hearing.
ine ivenyon proposal ior me ' u«i
industry proceeds along similar
lines. After providing for the crea
tion of a board to hear and adjust
controversies it lays down the gen
eral principle that "all the decisions
of the Labor Board with respect to
wages and working conditions of
employes shall establish rates of
wages and standards of working con
ditions which, in the opinion of the
board, are just and reasonable.”
The bill then provides that in de
termining the Justness and reasona
bleness of such wages or working
conditions the board, in addition to
other relevant principles, standards,
and facts, shall take into considera
tion and be guided by eleven fun
damental princlplest These basic
principles, which comprise what may
be termed the coal code, are as fol
lows:
Eleven Fundamentals
1. Coai is a public necessity, and
in its production and distribution
the public interest is predominant.
2. Human standards should be
the constraining influence in fixing
the wages and working conditions
of mine workers.
3. Capital prudently and honest
ly invested in the coal industry
should have an adequate return.
4. The right of operators and
miners to organize is recognized and
affirmed. This right shall not be
denied, abridged, or interfered with
in any manner whatsoever, nor shall
coercive measures of any kind be
used by employers or employes, or
by their agents or representatives, to
compel or to induce employers or
employes to exercise or to refrain
from exercising this right.
5. The right or operators ana oi
miners to bargain collectively |
through representatives of their own
choosing it recognized and affirmed.
6. The miners who are not mem
bers of a union have the right to
work without being harassed by fel
low workers who may belong to
unions. The men who belong to .a
union have the right to work with
out being herassed by operators. The
organizations have a right to go into
non-union fields and by peaceable
| methods try to psrsuade men to join
the unions, but they have no right
to try to induce employes to violate
contracts which they have entered
into with their employers, and the
operators on the other hand have
the right by peaceable means to try
to persuade men to refrain from
joining the unions.
7. The right of every unskilled or
common laborer to earn a living
wage sufficient to maintain a nor
mal family in health and reasonable
comfort, and to afford an opportun
ity for savings against unemploy
ment, old age, and other contingen
cies is hereby declared and affirmed.
Above this basic wage for unskilled
workers, differentials In rates of pay
for other mine workers shall be
established for skill, experience, haz
ards of employment and productive
efficiency.
8. The right of women to en
gage in Industrial occupations Is
recognizsd and affirmed; their rates
of par shall he ths same as those
of Aiale workers for the same or
equivalent service performed: they
shall accorded all the rights and
guar ant sq* granted to male workers

i ELLEN YOUNG
DOCTOR OF SALES
By Ruth Leigh
f Author of "Till Hainan Alda of Ra
tal! Sailing." "The A B C of Ratal)
j lag.* ate.
Tho millinery buyer's ryes twin
kled as ho caught Ellon Young's
amused glance at a remark made by
a departing salesman.
"Theme there models you or
dered will be a pretty clasay assort
ment.” the salesman had said.
"The English of some of these'
salesmen is appalling,” the buyer re
marked. and Ellen Young agreed.
"Sometimes,” the buyer went on, “1
get so prejudiced against a salesman
who can't talk proper English that
it prejudices me against his line, no
matter how good it is, and I don't
want to place an order with him."
"If I were a buyer.” Ellen Young
remarked. "I think I should refuse
to talk with any salesman who was
so Illiterate as to remark. Them
there models you ordered are a
pretty class/ assortment.' "
"I agree with you. Miss Young."
declared Mr. Ames, the buyer. “Now
in millinery there are certain words
that immediately stamp an unintelli
gent salesman, one whose English Is
poor. Thoee are the words 'classy.'
•swell.’ 'nifty.' 'splffy' and such semi
alang adjectives that most salesmen
who sell garments of any kind are
likely to use.”
"Aren't they disgraceful? It seems
to me that any salesman ought to be
able to school himself to use such
words as 'smart.' 'fashionable.’
■good-looking,’ 'attractive,’ ’pleasing.’
Slang may have its place, but it
certainly does not belong to the
vocabulary of salesmanship. If I
were a buyer, I should certainly ob
ject to being told that the assort
ment I had Just bought was ’classy.’
I'd prefer to be told that I had
bought a 'smart looking1 assortment.
That would reflect better or. my taste
and judgment.
Aiiuiucr iiiuui-auusru nwiu 111
salesmanship English that I have
found,” Ellen Young continued as
Mr. Ames listened interestedly, “is
the use of the word Tady.' I have
told innumerable salesmen who have
thanked me later that the word
‘lady* does not belong in business.
The word ‘woman’ should be used.
’Lady’ Is a purely social term tbs
has absolutely no place In commer
cial life. Advertisements, salesman
ship talks, any printed or spoken
word in business should employ the
word 'woman.' Of, if one wants
another word In place of ’woman,’
one might employ, depending on the
text of the advertisement or the con
versation, the words ‘housekeeper,’
’housewife,' ‘shopper.' But the word
‘lady* is never permissible in busi
ness. Nor, for that matter is the
word *gent.‘ Use ‘‘gentlemen’ If you
will, I tell salesmen, but never un
der any circumstances refer to a
•gents’ furnishing store cr depart
ment.
•'Then. I hate to have salesmen
say to me, "The party that bought
this before you.’ ‘Party,’ I always
feel, is the wrong word.”
“Certainly. ‘Party’ does not mean
‘person.’ One would speak of a din
ner party, but in the former case It
is best to say, ’The person who
bought one before you.’ Then I have
had salesmen say, ‘Can I show you
one?’ instead of ‘May I show you
one?’ They forget that ‘can’ implies
ability, and. of course, the salesman
has the ability or he would not be
selling.
“I think the average salesman
certainly needs to improve his sales
manship English if nothing else,*’
concluded Mr. Ames, in full agree
ment with Ellen Young.
"Another thing I And that most
salesmen don't know,” Mr. Ames re
marked later to Miss Young, “is how
to approach their customers. If l
didn't have a sense of humor, I’m
afraid I'd put some of these sales
men out of my place for the way
they approach me.”
Ellen Young and Mr. Ames discuss
constructively some Interesting
methods of approaching customers
tomorrow.
Business Questions Answered
Do you consider that the services
of a young woman who can take
dictation rapidly on the typewriter
are worth as much as a stenogra
pher who takes dictation rapidly In
her notebook? I have been asking
Just as much for typewriter dictation
of this kind, and one woman who
wanted to hire me for this work re
fused to pay It because she said It
was merely typist's work. Neverthe
less, I think it requires as much
skill to take rapid dictation on the
typewriter as it does in a notebook.
GRACE.
It does require as much speed and
skill to take rapid, correct typewrit
er dictation, hut because the salaries
given to typists have always been
lower than those of stenographers,
most people have the idea that the
work is not so difficult nor so Impor
tant. While you are justified in ask
ing the stenographic rate, I am
afraid that you will have a difficu.t
time obtaining it, until you convince
the prospective employer of your
skill and accuracy in taking type
writer dictation.

Every patron of a bootlegger occasionally has a. bad mo
ment when he wonders if, by any chance, the stuff he has just
swallowed puts him on the list of wood alcohol victims.
Millions of people discuss wood alcohol daily. Yet the
average person knows next to nothing about this mysterious
poison, except that it removes varnish,-causes blindness and
death, and is used by unscrupulous botftleggers because it is
cheap.
So, Watson:
Methyl alcohol, commonly known as wood alcohol, was
first discovered in 1812 by the research chemist, Taylor.
It is formed by the destructive distillation of wood. Also,
it can be made from formaldehyde, intentionally or accident
ally. You observe the possibilities of synthetic hooch made
from alcohol that has been “spiked” with formaldehyde or
other poisons, by government order, to make it unfit for bev
erage purposes.
Intoxication from wood alcohol is similar to the effects f
of pure bonded liquor—at first. '
It intoxicates slowly and is remarkable for the duration'
of its “hangover," as undertakers will testify.
A teaspoonful of wood alcohol is an. .cient to cause blind*«
ness, beginning with double vision, Hailing of the body’s tem-'
perature, loss of sensation in the nerve centers and rhythmic
convulsions.
A drink of wood alcohol causes blindness 90 times out
of 100, and usually means certain death, though sometimes the
patient lingers for as long as a year.
Here is a sentence which, if written indelibly in every
brain, would save many a life:
“It is worthy of note that in many cases methyl alco
hol amblyopia" (beginning of blindness) “has resulted froni
the excessive use of essence oH ginger, or peppermint, or'other
aromatics, in the preparation of which the alcohol has been
used as a menstruum" (solvent.
That is a quotation from the United States Dispensatory,
the official medical guide used by druggists and physicians.*
What to do when some one has swallowed wood alcohol!
Rush for a doctor. Even he can do little except strive to get
it out of the system, cause free sweating and administer large
doses of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in water.
Ethyl alcohol—the grain alcohol of scr-called pure whisky,
sought by many as the elixir of youth—consists of a combine
tion of two atoms of carbon, one of oxygfn, six of hydrogen.
From that, take two atoms of hydrogen and one of carbon,
and you have wood alcohol.
Funny, what a difference just a few atoms make.
