ACTS TO SAVE FORESTS
Conservation Commission Seeks
to Lessen Fire Menace.
OIL ENGINES ARE DEMANDED
Asks the Public Service Board to
Proceed Against the Brook
Ign Cooperage Company.

Albany. Aug 27-The Conservation Com
mission has instructed its counsel George
V. 5. Williams. to request the Public
Service Commission. I'd District. to set
date for the resumption of the investiga-
ton originally started on application OF
James 5. Whpple, as Forest, Fish and
Game Commissioner. to compel the Brook
lyn Cooperage Company to use oil for fuel
in its locomotives on its railroads in the
Adirondacks, and to use the other precau-
lions required Of railroad companies to pre-
vent forest fires.
The Brooklyn Cooperage Company either
owns or has stumpage tights to more than
1900 acres near ST. Regis Falls and Tup-
per Lake Junction. and to take the timber
from this large territory is operating
twenty-five miles Of railroad. and uses coal
burning locomotives The roads run most
~ through old cuttings and fire slashes,
as when the road was built little more
was cleared away than sufficient room for
the cars to pass. and the brush and weeds
have been permitted to grow up to and
within the rails.
Commissioner Whipple on August !. 1910.
made application to the Public Service Com
mission for an order requiring the cooper
age company to use oil for fuel in it's loco
motives. and to take such other precautions
for the prevention and discovery of fire
as the public interest might require. Hear
ings were had on September 6, October II
and 10. 1910 The Public Service Commits
sion made an order that nothing should be
done until further request from the Forest,
Fish and Game Commission. as Mr.. Os-
borne. who was then commissioner. had
assurances that the cooperage company
would do everything in its power to pro-
tect the forests along its lines from fire.
Commissioner Fleming. however. recently
ordered all companies operating in the for
est preserve to cut and remove from their
rights Of way all brush. weeds, etc. az re-
quired by Section 70 Of the forest. fish and
game law but the Brooklyn Cooperage
Company has refused to comply with this
order.
II Is the intention of the Conservation
Commission TO prosecute all individuals or
corporations that are responsible for start
ing forest fires. and to insist that every
corporation operating in the preserve take
all precautions required by law. 1t is ex-
pected that the Public Service Commission
will set an early date for the hearings.

NEED OF CHRIST'S SPIRIT
London Preacher Speaks of the Sacri-
fetal Principle.

The Rev w Major Scott. OF London,
preached yesterday morning at the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian Church 55th street
and Fifth avenue. on the sacrifcial princi-
pie Of Christian living. which. he said. was
love. What was most needed was a return
20 the spirit and a conformation of life to
the life Of Christ.
I'VE suspend the cross on a golden
chain" he said. and love to observe IL
cleaning on white bosoms, yet we are
unwilling TO nail ourselves to it. All of the
purposes of our lives should be made sub
servient to the principles Of self-sacrfice
The wide world in its tragedy Of sin. guilt
and shame is social trust placed in our
hands by Christ"

WOULD CHANGE OLD CHARTER
Brooklyn League Thinks That Would
Be Better than to Have New One Now,

The Brooklyn League has filed a formal
protest against the enactment Of an en-
tirely new. charter for New York city at
the present time. 1t points out with espe-
cial emphasis that plenty Of opportunity
FOR the study Of a charter should be pro-
vided. one Of the objections which the
league has to the present charter is that
II calls for radical changes in the admin
istrative powers Of officials against whom
no charges have been brought.
The entire proposed charter in all its
aBeails is not condemned. The league be-
A~ves. however. that such provisions as
would make more effective administration
Of the laws Of the city could be readily
made by way Of amendments to the pres
ent charter and that the faults Of detail
r. the contemplated charter could not be
alternately remeded except by drafting a
new bill.

CENTRAL BANK PULLED

Friday night last the Building Trades
Council directed their business agent to
'pull' the Central Savings Bank build.
ing on account Of another Jurisdiction
struggle, and Business Agent Fallon
carried out the instructions of the coun.
ell Monday at noon. calling for all Build.
ing Trades Council men to quit.
The trouble is between the Piasterers.
who are not affiliated with the council,
and the cement workers, who are affili.
ated. The Plasterers are doing the work
over which jurisdiction has been given
to the Cement Workers. It is a repeti-
ton of the case on the Daniels & Fisher
building.
The brotherhood Carpenters and Plas.
terers. which are not affiliated with the
council, continued to work. and the
Plumbers were not asked to quit work
by their business agent. Frank Bryan.
who says that each of the warning or.
ganizations should settle their jurisdic-
ton and not ask one organization to
strike against another.
The position of the building trades in
striking buildings TO settle Jurisdiction
fights is ridiculous and how long they
expect contractors TO stand for such
work remains to be seen. Hardly a
building in Denver is erected unless a
strike or two of this kind is forced on
the contractor without any recourse. The
whole situation points stronger than
ever to the fact that the building trades
must get together at any cost.

NO CONVICT LABOR.

The Mofat tunnel bill has been re-
ported out of the house committee on
judiciary with favorable recommends
ton: will be placed on the calendar at
once and probably made special order
for some day this week.
The bill is fathered by Gaines NJ Allen
of Denver, who has made hard tight
for its passage. The committee. which
is composed largely of men from the
South, finds no objection to the pro-
posed tunnel project. The only amend
ment offered to the original bill is to
strike out the clause providing that con-
vict labor shall be used to construct the
tunnel. As soon as Allen found this was
going to be a bone of contention he OF
fered the amendment himself.
The fight against this provision in the
bill was started by the Denver Trades
Assembly. and the delegates should feel
proud that this provision has been elm
mated at the objection of the assembly.
Most all union men-and especially
those who are progressive-are In favor
of all big building schemes that WIN re-
dound to the future glory OF the state
and benefit to the citizens.
