THE WORK FOR BETTER RAPID TRANSIT

ALEXANDER E. Orr DEFENDS THE COMMISSION
ON THE SUBJECT.
In answer to certain criticisms to the effect that
the Rapid Transit Commissioners have unneces-
sary delayed action Alexander f. Orr. President OF
the Commission yesterday declared that the charge
was unreasonable and uncaled for In view OF facts
which should be familiar to all. He said: THE
Rapid Transit Commission can do nothing at present
until decision comes from the Appellate Division
of the Supreme Court affecting the underground
railroad plan. which was settled upon tho
satisfactory solution Of the rapid transit prob
lem. The Supreme Court appointed Commission
to consider the case. and the Commission reported
In favor Of the plan. While the presumption has
been that the report OF the Commission would be
a decisive factor In the framing OF the judicial YER
dict, the Appellate Division OF the Supreme Court
has not Yet given decision and pending the de-
cision no action be taken by the Rapid Transit
Commission.
so. the folly is apparent In all this talk that the
Commissioner has gone to sleep and that II should
wake up TO proceed to vigorous action at once
The decision OF the Appellate Division OF the
Supreme Court Is expected in few days

Of It's building at One-hundrcd- nd-forty -frst-st
and the Southern boulevard on account OF the bad
sanitary surroundings This action was taken by
the Board month ago, but was withheld from
publication until the State Charities Department
could be communicated with.
The building IL on higher ground than that occu-
pied by Lumber OF private houses In the neigh.
borhood, and as the city has sewer pipes there
the drainage from the place has for long time
disturbed these residents.
The Health Board has tried In vain for several
months TO II remedy could not be had

said that this has OVERLOOKED and that the place 10

The Boards action does not apply TO the female
department. which Is at Eagle-ave. and One-hun-

some complaint about this. In the male department
placed the matter In the hands OF the local Chart
ties Department. and the latter has found that ify

REPRESENTATIVES, OF THE CLARK AND COATS
COMPANIES IGNORANT or THE
GLASGOW REPORTS.
Up to a late hour yesterday the representatives
in this city the Clark and Coats thread manufac
turing companies had heard nothing in confirmation
of the report from Glasgow that the companies
were to amagamate and form a central agency In
this country. At the offices OF George A. clark q
Bro No 400 Broadway, II was sad that nothing
was known there further than what has been pup
lished In the reports from Glasgow William clark.
the head OF the house lives In Newark. y. J.' ana
was not In this city yesterday
This firm asserts that II was the first to place
spool cotton on the markets Of the world. 1t has
been in business since the first decade OF the present
century There has been keen rivalry and competi-
ton between the Clark and Coats companies LOT
seventy-fve years. The American factory Oh George
A. Clark & Bro. Is at Newark. The factory In Pas-
lev Scotland however. Is said 10 be twice as large
as the one in Newark The Coats Thread Company
also has factories in Europe and America Its fac.
tory abroad. like the Clarks Is In Paisley but the
firms American factory Is In Pawtucket. H. l. The
companys Office in this city Is at No. 36l broadway
Ever ybody there was much Interested In the Glas-
cow report but those in charge declared they knew
nothing further about 1t. The companys repre-
sentatves also said that they did not believe there
any truth In the report. as such reports had
often been circulated before.
The representatives Of the other thread manu-
featuring companies declined to say whether or not
they believed the Glasgow report TO be true.
The Clark M.e-End spool Cotton Company has
factories OF this firm at East Newark, ". J. 1t
has no connection with the firm OF George A. Ozark
Bro. Neither has II factory abroad. 1t has been
q dlstnctively American firm since 1t broke away
from the parent concern OF John Clark. jr.. q Co..
Of Glasgow.
The representatives OF the companies said that
there no organization OF the thread interests
In this country nor had there been. 1t was also
said that. while the different companies did not
meet and agree a scale Of prices. their selling
rates on spool cotton pretty much the same.
For years firm has had almost the entire
South, another the Eastern States and so on From
time 10 time one company has sought 10 invade the
territory Of the other. and cut-rate wars and as
tonishng husng on the part Of selling agents have
followed. There appears to be an inclination just
now to cut rates all around and. In fact such war
haA been wagng for some time with great activity.
