John Aszkler, unchallenged Republican candidate for the mayoralty was honored with a large banner “Aszkler for Mayor” on the bow of the boat. As is usual,‘ political foes forgot all animosities on this annual stag affair and. shook hands and wished each other luck, particularily the three Democratic candidates for the mayoralty, Paul J. Tomalca, who is backed‘ by the organiz- ation's endorsement, former Mayor ‘Edward T. Malone and former Police Commissioner Clement S. —Staw‘sky, who reit- eratel their intention to remain in the race until the ‘primary decides the entanglement. Attendance at the outing, this year, exceeded all expectations and when the ship Clarence‘ Fix and her concort left the dock, nearly 400 passengers were aboard. _ The “beam bx‘-ummelél” of the day was Abe (Tony) Zeller. who was adorned in full yacht; ing regalia, white flannel trou- sers, cap, ect.

In this case it is an obligation which» the em- ployees must fulfill, for if the employers -are to «pay more wages for fewer hours they na- turally are entitled to a fair amount of work in return. The success of the whole recovery program hinges upon the right labor, and if either falls down on his part the entire scheme w-ill fail. Workers. have a duty to perform, too, in iconnectlon with the money they will make. This money must be spent if the recovery plan is to «go over the ,top—spent not reckless for things not needed, but spent for good and food and those little extras now and then which make for happy, norlhajl living. The Government is not advoca-t ting extravagance, but it is ur- ging sensible and prudent spending. The money paid out: in increasing wages is the life. blood of business and‘ it must be spent it it is to do the country‘ at -large any food‘ a wheels or industry and com- merce in full motion again.

That the Presi_den‘t knew whathe was doing when he made a place in the N. R.

There must be no ‘hesitation, no holding. back, no slacking, no carpingi about details, end no. question-_ in‘; the wisdom of our leaders; slpeoitic tasks will be Ilslsned’ to everyone in due time. There.‘ must be no waiting, There is no necessity for waiting until; all the codes are-agreed“ upon, In this audience there ‘ere ‘em- ployers, workers, and consum- ers. endl will tell you what each of you can do riclit now. First. Every employer should’ sign the President's reemploy-in ment agreement at once. This is the most important immed- iate step in the national recov~ ery .p r- o g r a m. Employers should bury all selfishness. Every employer, for a time at least, must forego large profits, or any profit at all, If profit is to be made in the initial stages of the recovery program, let, it come because of greater volume of business. Higher prices for products will come at the prop- er time. But increased wages and greater employment must come first, in order -that the purchasing power of the coun-' try may be revived. Every employer may feel as-. sured that his Government does not wish to run his business, nor to hamper him in any way. It does wish that all llnesof busi-. ness so reorganize themselves end co-ordinate their e that prosperity will return to \all- employers, employees, and the general public, and this re- turned prosperity become ate» bilized by the working out of a ‘neworder of our economic sys- tem. thst will banish depres- sions torever, You may be eer- teln that our leedeis at Wash- instojn have s hlch record‘ for the intesrity. the honesty. the genius of the business men of, America who hove builded the vast, machine that is iknovvn as the *business system, and that the only desire of these nation- el lesdersoiis to help meke that machine function successfully. It Seems. to me to be is selfeviu dent fact that only in this man: ner may prosperity be brousht back. My own sincere belief is: that business men should stop: their worrying, banish their doubts. and bend all possible energy to coo.per_s._tinjg. with the Government in speeding the: day when fulfillment, of its ‘plans. will make their business once more prosperous and stable, ' , The outing was a Republican event this time, as the Demo- cratic leaders, outside of can- didates, were woefully in thc minority, although Matt Ores- kovich, ‘First and; Fourth Ward leader was among those pre- sent. Upon their return from Al- bany, where they had been in conference with E. J. Bradt, assistant to Co]. Fredrick S. Greene, State Superintdent of Public Works, Mayor Lohr gm! Corporation Counsel O'Connor stated that the paving and wid- ening of a portion, and possibly all of South Park Avenue, was assured for the Fall. WHITEIAGLES NAME COMMl‘l'l'E.ES N. R.

A. stickers shall be placed in the lower right hand corner, so that the drivers vision will not be obstructed. For the first time in many years, the Bethlehem Steel Corporation was well represen ted, probably to celebrate Walter J. Lohr’s retirement from local political preferment. They received a definite promise that at least 387,000 out of the 322,000,000 alloted the State of_ New York under the tems of the National Re- covery Act, ‘for highway in-. provementt~Vfvouid~l-be'set«iside‘ at the present time and possi- blypmore later. i “Under the terms of the Act,” said Mayor Lohr, “these State funds must be appropri- ated according to the popula- tion of the various cities to which they are to be allocated. But. while the State cannot im-' prove the whole highway at this time. we are assured of at least $37,0(‘0.with a chance that we may receive more funds later should the money become available.” This ‘:37.- 0O0 is to widen South Park Avenue from the Buffalo City line to Ridge Road to 47 feet and resurface the same. This is~a State project which has been checked up by the State Public Works department. An undercurrent move to make the mayor reconsider his ',an_nounced _ g_retiren_ient was *spi1re‘d‘{1e'!tIre’~‘it gee-eunder--way~ when ‘the Mayor told his ‘would be’ boosters that he would not‘ consider being a candidate un- der* any circumstances. “I am definitely out of public office in Lackawanna, “said the Mayor. When_ questioned as to re- ceptiveness for County or State preferment the Mayor answer~ el: “I am going to take a politi. cal vacation and rest up. After’ that, well we'll see when the time comes.” A determined effort to smooth over a possible three cornered fight for the Republi- can councilmanship in the Third v.Ward ran up against a stonewall when Fire Commis- sioner Walter Balcerek turned down all attempts at harmony in this section of the City and‘ with former Coucilman John Griffith conveniently away from the outing repairing politi- cal fences, the vendetta is still- on Councilman Par-yz, however, is being loyally supported by the organization. Outide of the Mayoralty contest Democracy is facing two other primary contests. Albert J. Burke, 38 Maple Avenue, who was the first man in the field with his petitions for Supervisor Robert, M. Avery's job, is putting up a strong fight against the party’: nominee, Michael J. Hughes, and the entry of Edward S. Jordon, of Ridge Road is also a. factor to be considered. The councilmanic contest in the Fourth Ward is tangled up with William C. Carroll, of Rosary Avenue, bucking nom- inee James Galligan.
