The Christian Herald, which con-
ducts the Bowery Mission on the Bow
cry, near Canal street, and which mis-
sion provides bread and coffee to 1000
starving men every day, recently wrote
to the governors of all the states that
it had several thousand skilled me-
chanics ready to go to any point
where work was to beehad for the mere
cost of transportation.
Replies were received. from 21 gov
ernors, but none asks for a worker
Several Of the governors say that they
are at loss to find work for even
small number lof their own unem-
ployed. - ;55s.
In only one instance lin these com
munications was the actual number Of
unemployed given. J. B. Beck, COM
missioner OF labor for Wisconsin,,
writes:
"This office and the free employ
are already burdened with applications.
for work and I will not<,be able to give
you any assistance. There are $4,000
men in the state Of Wisconsin looking
for work and we are exerting every.
energy possible to find such places. It
will be folly for us to attempt to in
-duce more men out of work to come to
this state.'' .;Ssz-
. Governor Harris Of Ohio writes that
there are thousands out Of work IN
his state and no prospect~of being able
to employ outside labor. The same sit
:uation is reported by the governors Of
West Virginia, Indiana and Maryland.
In Texas, Massachusetts,, New Jer-
sey, Delaware and Montana the gov
,ernors all have the matter under con-
'sideratien, but their formal responses
hold out no hope of relief Governor
Hughes of New York promises to
bring the subject to the attention of
the state labor department.
i Governor Warner Of Michigan wrote.
1T Is extremely doubtful If our state
labor department or the newspapers OF
this state can render you any assist
ance in providing employment for the
unemployed workingmen, of New York
city. In a lesser degree, the state Of
affairs you describe prevails in some Of
the. larger. cities Of Michigan and it
would, think, be difficult to secure
employment for outside workingmen."

EXPERT TALKS ON
CITY BEAUTIFUL
John NOIen. Of Cambridge,
Mass, COnGerS with City
Officials as to Project

John Nolen, the well-known land
scape architect OF Cambridge, Mass,
stopped in Wilmington today and con-
ferred with several city officials about
the city beautiful" idea Mr.. Nolen
is one Of the foremost landscape de-
signers in the country, and aside from
introducing the city beautiful" project
at Roanoke, Va, he also has had charge
of the landscape architecture at San
Diego. Cal, Savannah, and other south
ern cities. He says there is a great
civic awakening in the south, where
many cities are being beautihed.
Mr.. Nolen was a classmate of City
Treasurer Howard d. Ross at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. and he also
is a personal friend Of William p. Ban
croft, president of the Park Commits
sion Mr. Nolen this morning con-
ferred with Mayor Wilson and member
of the executive committe eof the Park
Commission about the city beautiful
idea as applied TO public parks and to
the municipality in general.
Mr.. NOlen laid stress this morning
on the necessity of cities preparing for
the future, so that the growth of the
city can be anticipated in the laying
out of wide streets and providing for
landscape effects and parks now that
Will meet demands when the city grows
to much greater size and population.
The radical growth of a city is along
its own lines, Mr. Nolen thinks, while
1T grows conservatively when its fu-
ture is ant 'cipated and shaped for it,
Some Of those at the conference this
morning expressed an opinion that VIII
mington eventually will have 200 900
population, and the sections mat event.
ually are TO be included in the city
should nave wide streets and otner
beautiful landscape effects.
Those at the conference said moth
ing definite had been decided on as
to city beautifur' project, but Mr..
Nolen was merely giving some sug-
gestions at the informal conference.
City Treasurer Ross, who Is chairman
Of the municipal committee of the
Board Of Trade. probably will arrange
for public meeting at which Mr..
Nolen will make an address on the "citv
beautifuP and give some suggestions
as to Wilmington.
The upshot may be that Mr.. Nolen
may be engaged to formulate a com
prehensive project for beautifying the
city.
Councilman W. P. White, chairman Of
the finance committee and w. ID.
Brincl1le, architect, were present part
of the time during this mornings con-
ference, along with Mayor Wilson,
Treasurer Ross, Mr.. Bancroft, S. II.

RAILROAD LAWS
in EFFECT TO-DAY
Nine-HOur Law for Operators
and .6-HOur Law for
Trainmen

Nearly 1000 extra men will be need
ed by the Pennsylvania Railroad and
the Reading Railway Companies to
enable them to carry out theprovisions
Of the Federal 9-hour law. which went
into effect yesterday. The law stipu-
lates that men who handle train orders
by telegraph or telephone shall not be
on duty more than nine hours out of "a,
To comply with this demand more men
must be employed, the Pennsylvania
requiring about 700 and the Reading
about 800. Neither OF these roads pro-
tested TO the Interstate Commerce
Commission against the additional ex-
penses which obedience to the law i'm
poses.
Instead they got ready to comply with
the law. The extra men are needed be-
cause heretofore telegraph operators,
of whom more will be affected than
others comprehended under the statute,
have worked - or more hours out of
"a. But to effect every possible saw
ing the railroads will discontinue the
services of operators at unimportant
stations and in other instances sub
stitute for such skilled worlmen tele-
phone operators, who. with train dis
patchers and towermen, are also for
hidden to be on duty longer than nine
hours.
The Pennsylvania is fully equipped
with a telephone service. and so was
not put TO the necessity of making
extraordinary preparations. The Read
ing, however, has recently installed
telephone service between stations
where operators will be affected.
The so-called 16-hour law also went
into effect yesterday. This applies to
trainmen, englnemen and fremen. Such
employees, the law provides, must not
work more than 16 hours in the aggre-
gate in any 24-hour period. In order
to effectually comply with this law
the Pennsylvania will defray the cost
involved when men must leave their
post Of duty in order not to work be-
yond the time limit and TO enable
them to rest for the next 16 hours.
1n>this way il will happen that en-
ployes will not get home as often as
they now do, since round trips on long
runs cannot be always made. The
Pennsylvania has sent out orders over
its system which clearly explain the
laws demands. These orders even go
so far as to say that in adjusting the
working time to fit the required limit
suficient leeway should always be pro-
vided for and that employees should re-
fuse to violate the law.

Break il.

the world that pledges do not stop

he cannot help it. He fights as long
