Governors Make Addresses.
When the plans for the opening cere-
monies were originally announced, it
was arranged to have Governor Fort
of New Jersey and Governor Hughes
of New York leave the shores of their
respective states simultaneously and
meet on the boundary in the middle
of the Hudson and sixty feet below
the rivers surface and shake hands
This arrangement was changed to the
simpler one of having Governor Fort
come to New York, take Governor
Hughes to Hoboken and then have
Governor Hughes bring Governor Fort
back here. The boundary line between
the two states will be marked in the
tubes by circle of red, white and blue
incandeScentS.
After arriving at Hoboken speeches
OF congratulation were made by Gov.
ernor Hughes, Governor Fort, Patrick
MCGOWAN, president of the New York
board of aldermen, and President Nc
Adoo of the tunnel company.
Roosevelt Felicitates Promoters.
A letter from President Roosevelt
was read. The letter felicitated the
promoters of the $60,000,000 enterprise
and dwelt upon the beneficial effects
which the new tunnel will have upon
commerce, the friendly relations of the
two cities, the solution of their transit
problems, the relief of their congested
populations and upon the commercial
development of the vast continent
stretching away west of the Hudson.
The return trip will be followed by
banquet at Sherry's, for which 500
invitations have been issued.
In few weeks more the Twenty
third and Twenty-eighth street stations
in Manhattan will be opened, and by
the end of the year it is expected that
all branches of the system will be

TO HEAD OFF STRIKE.
Roosevelt Asks Information on the
Threatened WAGE Reduction.

Roosevelt Asks information on the
Threatened Wage Reduction.
Washington, Feb. %. President
Roosevelt, having been informed that
the railroads of the country are pre-
pairing to reduce wages, has under the
Erdmann act started an investigation
with the idea, first, of discovering
whether the proposed reduction is the
result of necessity or of mismanage-
ment, particularly high financiering,
and second, if such wage reduction,
from whatever cause, is likely to bring
on strikes that will endanger life and
property In that case, the president
says, drastic measures for the protec-
ton of life, property and the public
peace will be necessary.
Under the Erdmann act Chairman
Knapp of the interstate commerce
commission and Charles p. Neill, COM
missioner of labor, are the arbitrator.
President Roosevelt called these two
into conference. AS result Mr.. Neill
started west to investigate the wage re-
duction on the Chicago Great Western
and other roads, and Chairman Knapp
is having compiled all the figures in
the possession of the interstate com
merce commission bearing on the
question.
