EXPLOSION
Of Sewer Gas Occasioned Much
Alarm.

A terrific explosion of sewer gas oc-
casioned considerable excitement
Thursday afternoon in the vicinity Of
Mill and Howard SITS. The gas had
collected in the conduits of the Peo-
pies Telephone Co. A number of
workmen We're engaged in thawing
out the pipes in a man hole in front
of the Hamilton building The rush
of warm air into the pipes caused an
explosion that found escape by blow
ing off the cover of the man hole near
the intersection of Canal and Mill
SITS. The report was like that of a
cannon. The frozen earth and heavy
iron lid were thrown high in the air.
Fortunately there was no one in close

NEW YORK BRIDGE BILL
Legislative Relief Sought Through
Senctor Rnines, Mensnre


NEW YORK. April e-The bill intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Raines
and known as the Raines Bridge bill has
for its nominal object the Improvement
Of commerce at the port Of New York.
Its real object is to enable the New York
and New jersey Bridge Company, Of
which Gen James s Clarkson is presi-
dent, to begin the construction Of a bridge
across the Hudson River from that part
of New Jersey known as West New York
70 the foot Of West FIfty-ninth Street,
Manhattan
The bridge company has acquired prop
erty for its New Jersey and New York
approaches. II has also acquired all
rights OF way for its passenger business.
What it has been trying to get from the
city authorities is a right Of way for its
freight traffic
According to amended plans the bridge
viii be what is known as double-decked
viaduct. On the lower deck a fun gauge
railroad viii be built, over which regular
steam, freight. and passenger trains will
run. The upper deck viii be used for
trolley line bicycles, and wagon traffic,
and accommodation viii be made for foot
passengers
From the foot Of Fifty-Hlnth Street an
elevated railroad structure viii be built
10 West Fffty-second Street. At that
point the road will cross Eleventh Ave
nue. and run along between. Fiftieth and
Fifty-first Streets to Ninth Avenue,
where # win run through union station
and on TO Broadway, where passengers
Will be discharged
Rights and privileges for constructing
the elevated railroad structure and the
union station have already been acquired,
"a F1us all
roads with Eastern terminals in Jersey
City, Weehawken. and Hoboken over the
bridge TO New York
But besides this the bridge company
wishes TO have facilities for taking care
Of its freight business, and TO that end 1t
purposes TO construct 4 steel viaduct
from the foot Of Fifty-niEth Street south
along the marginal street or wharf west
OF West SCreet TO the Battery.
II is the purpose of the bridge company,
# it can acquire the Necessary rights and
privileges, so to construct its steel via
duct to the Battery that when II reaches
West Street its easterly line VII be five
feet west Of the west line OF West Street.
o.. course, II such q viaducT was construct
ed it is easy 20 see that the advantages
accrlinG TO New York commerce might
be much greater than the loss Of such
parts Of the marginal street TO the pub
lie as would be taken up by the supports
of the structure.
So far as anybody knows the only per
sons opposed 10 the bridge cOmpauy's pro-
feCt are some OF the city officials. a year
or TWO ago q committee reported TO the
Sinking Fund Commission that a proper
return 70 the city for the rights and privi-
leEes asked for would be ! per cent for
the first five years. s per cent for the sec
OTld TlTE wears. ana cent Thereafter
The company said that II was willing to
accept the suggestion made in the report,
bat since then the Sinking Fund Com
mission has held the matter uD. and be-
cause nothing could be obtained from that
commission the company sought relief
from the Legislature.

cd the boat a success. The actual speed
maintained was 26.0S3 knots for the re-
quIred time This means that in two
hours the Shubrick covered a distance of
more than sixty land miles.
Leaving the Naval Academy at 9:I5 the
Shubricz steamed slowly out of the har-
Dor and started northward on a prelimi-
nary squirt IN order to insure everything

The members OF the Board of Inspection

THE BINDBRY WOMEN Unite
Nearly All NOn-UniOnists Brought
Into the Organization.
All Prospects of "A wnIk-out nt the
Government Printing Once Disap-
pear-An Old Controversy Termi-
nated-An Outline of the Trouble.

pea--An Old Controversy Ierml
nated-An Outline of the Trouble.
The troubles that threatened the Wo-
mems Bindery Union of Washington
have apparently passed away. Nearly $50
women employees of the Government
Printing Office who have been holding out
against going into the organization be
came members of the union last Monday
night. and since then many applications
for cards have been received from per
sons who held out against organization
until that time.
The Women's Bindery Union was or
gained about two years ago with some
thing like 800 members. There are said
10 be nearly 500 women now employed in
the Government Printing Office as stitch
eIs, folders, and ruling machine feeders
Gradually the union membership was in
creased until nearly 600 women had cards
The remaining 200 were chary about join
ing. Some declined to do so because the
initiation fee, 81, was thought to be too
high; others. it is said, stood alOof be
cause they did not understand the real
purposes of the organization and We're
ignorant as to the benefits to be derived;
others said they would like to become
members, but they were not sure how
the powers that be in the Office regarded
the movement, and remained out because
they were fearful that to associate them
selves with the union might sooner or
/ later mean the loss Of their position.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the union
/ leaders to induce all of the women TO join
them. this condition Of affairs existed IN
Ill about three months ago. Then it was
| determined to use drastic measures It
was then announced that after the first
/ day of April the union women in the en-
/ ploy Of the Government would refuse to
/ work with the non-unionists.
/ Then began a campaign to bring IN the
/ recaIcitrants. First the objection to the
1 initiation fee was eliminated by reducing
the sum 20 81 until April /; then, the out
/ siders who needed knowledge OF the pur-
| poses, principles, and benefits of union
/ ism were schooled, and the minds of the
/ tinaid Were disabused of the notion that
the organization was unpopular with the
! chief officials - the Government shop
/ The overcouiI 9 of these obstacles with
/ all Of the women has not yet been &C
/ compIished, but such progress has been
made and prospects are 50 bright for
/ bringing in those who still persist in re-
naming out Of the union. that all talk Of
| a waIk-out or other serious trouble has
| been abandoned
! II is said that not more than fifty wo-
men had up TO last night failed TO apply
| for cards. 1t was further said that the
/ plans laid by the unionists TO enforce
| their determination TO refuse TO work if
| the non-unionists did not yield were com
| plete, and that The action o. the latter in
submitting ayerJed what promised to be
/ an unusual and very interesting situation.
