NEW WORKERS READ LlTTLE.
They Have No Homes, Only Places to
Eat and Sleep.

New York reads less than any other
part of the country. The reason is
that there are no homes in New York
no home life. The eagles and the
buzzards there live in aeries, and the
rats and mice live in holes in the
ground. That is to say, they seleep
in these places and because these are
the only sleeping places they have
they so to bed as late as possible.
Therefore, they have neither time
nor place for reading. They scan the
headlines of the big morning and at.
ternoon papers and this satisfies their
appetite for reading. 1t is this that
accounts for the atrocious system of
headlining in the New York papers
that make money. If New York city
were city Of yards, like Philadelphia
or Washington, it's consumption of lit.
,erature would be immense, because OF
its huge population. But the people
have no homes-only places to sleep
hence they have no opportunity to
read. They are forced to live in the
streets, in the cages, in the theaters
on street cars, river boats, etc., and
this manner Of living Is not conducive
to the reading habit.
Why, If the proportion Of readers in
New York were as great as 1t is in
Philadelphia. for example, Il would be
the greatest literary market In the
world. The building regulations Of
Philadelphia wisely compel provision
for yard space around living places.

WERE BLOWN
THROUGH MUD
River Bed Forced Up by Tremen-
dOuS Air PreSsure--TWO Killed
in Subway Tunnel.

NEW YORK, June n. = Two men
were killed and thirty-thrce others
were in danger Of their lives in an ae-
cident in the Pennsylvania railroad
tunnel between Thirty-fourth street
and Long Island City. Half a dozen
of those who escaped alive were taken
to the company's hospital unconscious.
The accident was caused by the ire
mendous air pressure necessary at the
head of the tunnel to hold back the
soft mud into which the shield is
forced. There were thirty-five men at
work in the heading between the shield
and the tunnel proper.
The air pressure blew out the mud
under the shield. There was a foun-
tain forty feet high on the surface of
the East river as the volume of air
swept upward through the water. Two
of the workmen were caught In this
flow of air and blown out into the
river.
When the heading was emptied of air
the water rushed in and threatened to
drown the survivors. There was a ter
rible struggle at the little door be-
tween the flooded chamber and the
completed tunnel, but the men in au-
thority kept their heads.
Following the usual policy, the off,
GERS of the Pearson Contracting COM
pany, that is building the tunnel, re-
fused all information beyond the bare
announcement that two men had been
killed. One of the dead men was a
negro, the other a Hungarian unable to
speak English.
Employees of the company were for
hidden to talk. but some of the work
men disregarded the injunction when
they gathered in a neighboring saloon.
One of these men said that the fire.

OF STEAM
AS MOTOR POWER.

ATLANTIC CITY, June 21:-The
transformation of steam motive pow
err on the railroads of the country in
to electric or gasolene motive power
was the important topic before the
American Master Railway Mechanics
yesterday.
1t was the first time the associa-
ton, composed of the expert mechan-
zeal engineers Of the country, had di-
rected a commission to make an in
vestigation, and the statements made
were instructive and interesting and
made a profound impression on the
railroad men. In this report official
recognition is given to the approach
of the age of electricity and g%asolene
motors on the steam operated road
ways of the nation.
The commission, which reported
through Chairman G. A. Seeley, said
that The use of the new motive power
on the main line was not to be con-
sidered by them in the report they
made.
They have devoted their investiga-
ton of short lines. They unqualiiedly
went on record in favor of changing
from steam to electric power or gas
olene where there was sufficient pop
ulation to sustain the operation OF a
frequent service. They also found
that the operation of a passenger and
freight schedule over such lines
could not be advocated If revenue
was to be considered, as the freight
service would affect the passenger
system.
They pointed ont the growth of
city traction lines from S,123 miles
in 1890, to 22,576 in 1902. They
stated hat power cars onthese lines
had increased from an average of 10
to twenty-horse to seventy-horse pow
er and some of them were rated at
400-horse power,
The suggestion was made that il
any steam railroad decided to CON
vert one of its short lines into an
electric line it was always %expedient
to do away with the ticket office and
ticket selling and the surrender OF
all stations.
The officers were then elected, al
ter which the convention adjourned.
The new officials are: President,

president, w, Mcintosh, New Jersey
