G. OUTH JERSEY glassblowers have been making very high
wages for years, and that has been their undoing. BY rea,
son of the cost of this skilled labor the manufacturers
looked around for a genius to invent a machine to do the work,
and more cheaply, and they found it. The automatic bottleblowing
machine has been introduced and there are 1913 of them in bottle
blowing plants. Each machine has a capacity of $50 gross of pint
bottles in twentyfour hours, while the best that hand labor can
do, with three shifts of men, in the same time is sixteen gross.
The inevitable effect is to be a cheapening of wage as well as
product, but the cheaper product will make more business and so
employment will be increased rather than diminished. The trade
of the blower is, however, past. All that will be necessary in the
future will be a man or boy to tend the machine.

Berger Explains Old Age Pension
Bill for Euening STAR Readers

Socialist Congressman from Milwaukee.


turn for their labor so small a part of what they pro-
duce that all of it is expended in merely keeping
alive. Since the average wage is probably not more
than $500 a year, it is obvious that it is impossible
for three fourths of the population to save up from
their wages anything for old age, unless they want
to live like Cinnamon, which, of course, would
diminish trade and make "hard times"
Everybody in America readily understands why
soldiers are entitled to pensions. But very few
people realize that the number of men killed and
manned every year on the railroads, in the mines,
factories and other industries in our country is ap-
proximately equal to the number killed. and wounded
in any one year Of our great Civil War, with all Its
terrific battles.
Moreover, the work of the soldier of industry
is infinitely more necessary than the bloody work
of the soldier on the battle field.
My bill does not go into the administrative de-
tails and does not try to provide for the many COM
pick situations that may arise in the operation of
such a law.
The details will have to be settled by a COM
mission to be appointed for that purpose.

the pension for every man and woman.

FIJI Wall OF THE SOUTH JERSEY coMMUTER.

II F the South Jersey commuters had joined with those in North
Jersey last year in the demand upon the Governor and Legis-
lature for a special session to pass a law to give the State the
authority to regulate the tariff charges on the railroads of the State
a special session would have been had and something effective
would have been done at that time. But they were lulled into a
selfish sense of security by the Philadelphia and South Jersey
papers. The increase didn't affect them. Why should they care?
THE STAR warned these commuters that their time would come
next, and surely enough it has come. The South Jersey fares are
boosted, too, and loud is the wall of the commuter there. 1t will
now be interesting to watch and record the opinion of the State
Utilities Commission as it is developed in South Jersey.

THE BEFUDDLiNG GERAN LAW.

IFTY county and city clerks in conference at Asbury Park
Yesterday had to confess that the Geran election law was
incomprehensibe to them in its provisions. City Clerk Con
nelly, of Newark, affirmed that there were no two clerks who In
terpreted the law alike. Governor Wilson was expected to explain
the law to the befuddled city and county clerks who are to act
under it. and he gave them some general remarks apropos to nothing.
AS lawyers disagree as to the law and legislators have no clearer
idea of it, the city and county clerks are fain to initiate the Public
Utilities Commission and be governed entirely by their own inter
pretations of their powers under the law. If they get into trouble
that is their lookout.

TRADE CHEATS STILL HAVE FULL SWING.

OOU lis a matter of common knowledge says the Times of Tren
ton, that, Notwithstanding the existence of the new law for
weights and measures, the same petty frauds are still prac-
tised generally throughout New Jersey" and the Times speaks the
truth. The law provides a State official machinery cooperating
with local machinery to carry out the law, but except in a few
places like Newark, where there are efforts at enforcement, there
are no visible results. 1t may be necessary for consumers to or
ganize leagues to watch the officials whose duty it is to detect and
apprehend trade cheats and see that they are ION the job" 1t is
evident enough they are not yet on the job.

Commend. Editorial.
e Evening Star.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Allow me to say a few words OF
praise for an editorial which appeared
in the STAR recently, condemning the
cheap soft drinks sold in this city. I
believe that a good deal of sickness
among children could be traced to this
source. Bottles of soda water are sold
in all confectionery stores at two cents
a bottle. and are in big demand by
the youngsters. Now it stands to rea-
son that the stuff they sell at this
cheap price is not what 1t is repre-.
scented to be. An investigation into the
matter by the Board of Health would
do much toward lettering the health
of our children.

cTTa @ cut a whole hour off a schedule of three hours and twenty
minutes where competition already calls for fast railroading
would seem welnigh impossible, but the New jersey Cen
trail, in connection with the Reading, proposes a no less feat, which
will make the time between Jersey City and Atlantic City two
hours and a quarter and establish the fastest regular train service
in the world. A guarantee of support from the hotel men is a
part of this scheme, which indicates the growing Importance of
New Jerseys famous seaside resort, and also emphasizes one of the
chief demands of the age, namely, speedy access for business men
from the town to the ocean. Given like facilities in reaching Cape
May and other South Jersey coast places, there will be no limit TO
the development of that region, which contains many ocean fronts
with natural advantages even superior to those of Atlantic City.

FIVE CENTS TO COMFY ISLAND.

OTs HE fvecent fare for limited hours inaugurated this week by
the RAILROADS running to Coney Island is announced as an
experiment. A strong public demand has forced the COM
panies to try it thus early. But the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany will have to establish the hvecent fare eventually at all hours,
anyhow, as a part of the subway agreement. Probably it will be
found a paying proposition, despite the professed doubt of the
transit people. New York realizes that it must get it's teeming
tenement population away from the hot sidewalks and freescapes
during torrid weather. 1t means that much more of health and hap.
piness and content and less of suffering, disease and perhaps dis
order and anarchism.

 Emperor Nicholas participated in the ceremonies and at it's conclusion person. ally condoled with M. Stolypin's widow
 St. Petersburg, September 19.-Court in- fluences are mobolizing to control the government that shall succeed that of the late Premier Stolypin, who died last night from an assassin's bullet at Kiev The impression prevails that the tenure of office of M, Kokovsof, the acting pre- nier, will be temporary.
 The Nationalists fear they would be set aside if Kokovsoff remained at the head of the ministry. Several ministers are also out of harmony with the acting premier, and accordingly there are num- beress candidates for cabinet posts which are likely to be vacated.
 M. Kokovsofr is generally respected as enlightened on foreign and financial mat ters and a straightforward conservative in home politics.
 The phrase, Tt is time to wind up the nationalistic animation and in augurate conciliation'' Is attributed to him. There Is much speculation as whether more liberal or q more re- actionary policy will be adopted.
 The Noyoe Vremya today says: "The new chapter In the history of Russia commences with the death of Stoly- pin. Socialism and Judaism must be taken in an iron grasp"
 The Rech considers that Stolypin was big in Individuality. but a political bankrupt and that he has left the country an enormous task as politi- cal legacy. ~
 A complete change has been made in the funeral arrangements. Before he Gied the premier expressed the wish to be buried at ISiev and the Emperor ordered that his wishes be respected The body of Stolypin tomorrow will be removed to Petchersk monastery.
 The funeral will take placo there at 0 o'clock Friday morning with a reli- gious service in the monastery church yard.
