EXCURSION STEAMERS CRASH
coney Island and Jersey Boats In Col
Iison In New York Bay.

Coney Island and Jersey Boats In Col
Iision In New York Bay.
New York, July 20-Carrying 1900
excursionists the Coney Island steam
boat Perseus and the Patten line
steamer Thomas Patten crashed in a
heavy fog midway between Governors
island and st. George, N Y. The Pat
ten cut fifteen feet into the side of the
Perseus and stuck there There was
a panic on both boats; but, 1t is assert
ed, all the passengers were taken off
without the loss of single life. 1t is
not impossible, however, that In the
confusion some one may have been
lost. The only person injured was Dr.
Clarence McNenny of Jersey City. He
was caught in wreckage. One of his
ribs was broken, and he sustained in
ternal injuries.
The wreck was remarkable for the
effective work done by the crews on
both vessels and by the rescuing craft
The passengers were taken off by the
municipal ferryboat, the Bronx; the
Cetus, also Coney Island boat, and
the steam yacht Commodore of New
ark, the deck of which had not an un-
crowded inch.
AS it was feared that both vessels
might sink, the Patten and the Perseus
were left wedged together for three
hours. Wrecking tugs focked around
and finally drew them apart The port
side of the Perseus was opened up
just forward of the paddle wheel, and
1t is feared that the bow of the Patten
is seriously damaged, both above and
below the water line.

DR.. Thomas, Accompanied by Wife,
Makes Air Trip Above Metropolis.
New York, July 20-A balloon voy-
age, filled with hazards from housetops,
spires, trees and water, rising to amaz-
ing heights and descending close to the
city, was accomplished by DIR. Julian
r. Thomas Mrs. Thomas and Roy Kna-
benshue, and for the four hours that
the great bag was in the air hundreds
of thousands watched its zigzag and up
and down journey.
A trip on a magnificent scenic rail-
way, with the currents of air for a
track, which at one point reached an
elevation of 5000 feet, coursed slant
ingly above Manhattan almost in cir
Gle. then across the East river, Long
Island, making a loop and returning to
recross the river back into Manhattan;
then 1t took almost a straight line
westwardly across the city to the mid
die of the Hudson river, where the bas-
ket twice dipped into the water, with
landing on the New Jersey shore-such
was the ride the aeronauts enjoyed.
Mrs. Thomas, making her second as

member of the party, and when the
balloon was floating perilously near
housetops, was tipped by trees or mar

weather vane of a church spire, she
was leaning over the edge of the car,
waving to the crowds below with her

Administration Determines to En-
force Eight Hour Law on
Government Work.
FREQUENT VIOLATION SHOWN
Commissioner NeilI Procures Evidence
of Evasion of Statute by contraotors.
Enforcement Will Raise Bids on Con-
tracts-Many Thousands of Employ
ees TO Be Affected by Order.


insistent demands made by organized
labor on the administration has been
granted. The eight hour law is to be
enforced
Violations of this law by contractors
on public works of the United States
will be reported to the department of
justice by the inspecting officers. An
order to that effect will be issued
within few days through the several
bureaus.
Emergency Work Excepted.
This order goes out by the direction
of the president, who at a conference
with Secretary Taft at Oyster Bay
approved the secretary's recommends
ton to that effect with regard to the
war department and at the same time
directed the secretary of the treasury
and the secretary of the navy to take
similar action.
The order places upon every in
specting official the duty of reporting
any contractor who shall require hands
on public work to labor more than
eight hours a day except in case of
extraordinary emergency, nor will the
decision of what constitutes such an
emergency be left hereafter to the
direction of such officers. The depart
ment Of justice will determine whether
an actual emergency existed
A delegation representing organized
labor some time ago visited the presi-
dent and filed with him complaints of
the treatment Of organized labor by
ments. The president requested that
these charges be placed in writing,
especially those with regard to the
violation of the eight hour law.
A long list of cases was sent to him.
The president referred the matter to
the commissioner of labor, Charles p.
Neill, with instructions to investigate
and report to the department of JUS
tice eases in which the law had been
violated. Mr. Neflf found that the law
was being violated day after day by
some contractors on public works.
Pending Bill Held Up.
An effort was made by organized la
Dor at the last session of congress to
secure legislation to enforce the eight
hour law, but so effective was the op-
position of the great. contracting firms
that adjournment was had without any
action upon the pending bill.
The effect of the present order upon
the cost of government work is ex-
pected to be very great. It has been
the rule for government contractors to
work their men ten, twelve and even
more hours a day. If they cannot do
this, they assert, they must increase by
20 or % per cent the amount of their
bids
Many employees are not subject to
the eight hour law, being neither labor
ers nor mechanics, the classes referred
to in the act, but many thousand work
men in all parts of the country will be
affected.
