THE DRIVERS TO BLAME.
A Nice Distinction for Juries I'm Auto
mobile Speed Cases.
The Horseless Age.

Inc Horseless Age.
In a number of recent speed arrests in
New York city the plea has been made in
court that the machines had become un-
manageable and had got beyond the control
or the drivers. The plea was evidently made
on the supposition that it would relieve the
operator of all responsibility, although the
present law makes no definite distinction
between willfully exceeding the speed limit
and involuntarily exceeding tit simply
states The limit for different conditions and
imposes a penalty for exceeding these lin
its. 1t is to be presumed, however, that II Is
intended to punish willful violations only,
and that an automobile driver who was un-
able TO stop his machine owing TO some
breakage would be more amenable to the
law than horse driver whose team had run
away with him.
There is quite a difference In this respect,
however, between automobile and
morse. In the case Of the horse the indie
pendent will plays a part, whereas. in the
case case OF the automobile everything that hap
pens Is the result either OF the drivers
actions or Of his neglect, and whether an
automobile really was beyond control or not
may prove rather difficult point for jury
10 determine. When horse is beyond con-
troll the outward signs are usually quite
conclusive, but this would not necessarily
be the case in an automobile runaway.
While there is a possibility of an automo-
pie becoming unmanageable. this POSSIBLE
lty Is very slight and practically nil under
ordinary road conditions. The control of an
automobile is not dependent upon any one
will check the motion of the car. If in a
gasoline machine the gear operating mech
anism should accidently be broken while
the high gear is in action, the motor might
be shut down by interrupting the ignition
or by shutting off the gas. If this also
should fail the vehicle might be controlled
by the brakes. In fact, loss of control OF
speed is only imaginable where the car has
been voluntarily driven at very high
speed and some sudden emergency calling
for quick change of speed has confused
the driver. This would be case of momen-
tary loss Of control, however which would
hardly serve as a safe plea in an arrest for
speeding.
In hearings on legislative proposals, etc,
much stress is always laid upon the perfect
control OF automobiles, and the many cases
In this city recently in which loss of control
was pleaded as the cause of excessive speed
must have struck the presiding judges as
something of an anomaly. a fiat cOntradic-
ton of the claims Of Automobiles with re-
gard TO the control of their machines. The
judges seemed to have abundant faith in the
machines, however, for in most cases the
plea was unsuccessful.

Threaten to Strike.

NEW YORK, May 25.-It is estimated that
there are close oh to 100000 men idle to-day
in the different boroughs of Greater New
York as a result of strikes ordered by diff
ferent unions and the lockout decided upon
by material men and contractors In their
fight against the unions On Saturday the
number of men out of work through these
causes was upwards of 175.00O and to these
were added to-day 10000 men locked out
by the material men of Brooklyn, and an
other 10000 forced to lay down their tools
for the want of material with which TO
work A few contractors have some ma
terial on hand, but none of them sufhcient
to last through the week. Work on most
of the big buildings and in the sawmills
and brickyards is practically at stand
still. Along the subway many men are
at work, some of the contractors having
even more than before the Italian excava-
tors and rock men went out.
The United Board of Building Trades
met to-day and issued a statement denounc-
ing the recent action of the employers in
forming an organization. The statement
accuses the employers OF refusing to COM
plete their contracts to the detriment Of the
public welfare; of denying to workmen the
right to associate, and Of conspiring for the
purpose Of sitting competition. The board
appointed a committee of five to gather
data regarding unlawful practices OF COM
bination among the employers and to SUBJ
NIT the evidence to the proper authorities.
The board also. by a decisive vote, refused
to accept the credentials of the Brotherhood
of Carpenters, who sought re-admission to
the board. This was regarded as a COM
plete victory for the Amalgamated Society,
the rival organization of carpenters.
