STANDARDIZATION A PERIL

if All Glasses Should

The reasons why the ffty-two railroads
east Of Chicago were opposed TO granting
the demand OF their locomotive engineers
for increased "a" and a Standardization OF
WaSes were laid yesterday before the aroi
tration commission at the Oriental Hotel
Manhattan Beach. by X. y. Warrington

principal objections OF the employers
toward the demands Of the engineers.
The most serious objection raised oy IN"

came on the score Of Standardization

PASSENGERS IN PANIC
WHEN STEAMERS CRASH
Side Wheeler RosedaIe BeaChed
After Collision Near
ROCkaWay.
RAMMED BY THE NASSAU
Latter Boat Not Damaged and
Other Is Pulled Off Sand
and Taken to Yard
for Repairs.

With a Jagged hole ripped in her
bows, the Rosedale, of the ROckaway
Steamboat Company. was beachcd on
the sand banks in Rockaway Channel
Yesterday afternoon, with about two
dozen badly frightened passengers on
board. The Nassau. acting for the day
as the Rosedale's sister ship, rammed
the larger boat. but herself escaped un-
ecathed. Late in the afternoon the
Rosedale was patched up and came TO
New York There was small panic
on board the Nassau, which was heaV-
lily loaded with people
The accident occurred about | o'clock
In the afternoon. The Rosedale, a
side wheeler. was leaving Rockaway
comparatively empty. She is about
three hundred feet over all, with Il
6O-feot beam. Coming into the chan
mel was the twin screw Nassau, l4O
feet long and - feet beam-about half
as large as the Rosedale. she belongs
10 the Long Island Railroad. but has
been chartered 10y Captain Jacob Rowe,
1ho let's her for excursion purposes.
Yesterday she was leased by the Rock
away Steamboat Company, She had
10 passengers on board.
Captain Harry Smith. standing in
the pilot house Of the Rosedalc, says
he blew two long and four short blasts
as he came around the point into the
I0-foot channel but Captain Rowe
says he did not hear the signal. The
Rosedale was drifting along nearer the
channel than the Nassau, which was
proceeding at about fourteen miles an
hour. according TO Captain Smith.
In some way not clearly explained
the Nassaus Prov slammed into the
port bow Of the side-wheeler about ten
feet abaft the stem. There was d
grinding crash, and the passengers on
both boats leaped back from the rails
The women were greatly excited. and
both captains had to send men among
them 10 quiet them.
Captain Smith sent Chief Officer Van
Nalkenburg and Second officer oliver
down below TO ascertain the damage,
They reported that the Rosedale was
stove in above the waterline, but that
the waves were shaping sea water
into her hold. Taking no chances,
Captain Smith beached his boat while
the Nassau stood by. and then, seeing
that the damage was slight, proceeded
10 Rockaway. The Nassau herself
grounded for short time while back
ing. but pulled herself off. The Rose
dale will go into shipyards at Hoboken
and be in service again in a day or SO.

WATCHCASE SUIT GOES ON
Government Contends That the
Patent Rights Were Blind.

Tho governments suit against the So
called WatChCase trust was continued YES
terGay. IT is the intention Of the prose
cutiOn 20 prove that the Keystone Watch
case Company has used it's control OF the
T.. Howard Watch Company to force job
bers to handle its cases only. The Key
stone company in 1905 bought the f. How
ard Clock Company. OF Boston, makers
up TO 1910 II one of the best known watch
movements in the country. The Keystone
company then organized the E. Howard
Watch Company. and. the government as
Serts. took the old United States move
ment. and With couple of minor I'M
proyemeuts produced q watch sold unI9r
terms Of a license that provided:
This watch must not be sold to any one
designated by the manufacturers as Cd
jectionabl This license shall not be re-
moved from the box containing the watch
nor the watch sold with the box and "
Cense contained therein"
The government contends that tho three
patents Of the Keystone company on the
Howard watch we're not Of material i'm
portance and we're referred TO merely TO
mako II appear that the provision liking
the price was made I'm the exercise OF as
suned rights as owners OF patent rights.
The government also contends that when
a patented article is sold and full price
j. paid therefor every contract or agree
mcnt to maintain subsequent selling price
therefor is i'm restraint Of trade.
Jewellers testified that representatives
Of the keystone company visited them
and warned them to sell Only Keystone

Says Weak Roads Would Suffer.

In his objections toward the standard
ization Of wages Mr.. Worthington said
that in nearly every instance IT would
have the effect of imposing a heavy
burden on n very weak road. and some
would not bc able to stand It, The less
prosperous roads were paying much
lower wages than the rich ones, he add
ed, and this was based on local condi-
tons as we'll as on earning ability OF
the road \ Standardization would mean
an increase in the engineers payroll of
from 50 to nearly 90 per cent on some
Of the smaller roads, he asserted.
Mr.. Judson interposed that the rail-
roads had standardized the wages OF the
conductors and trainmen and had sue
cessfully COPIED with the situation there.
but Mr.. Worthington replied that the
agreement had been forced upon them
because they wanted TO avoid the call
ing out OF the men on "A strike.
should a strong road pay a higher
rate of wages than "A weak road or a
road which is perhaps Il competing road
and has the misfortune of being over
capitalized or having poor business?
asked Mr. Judson.
Mr.. Worthington replied that an over
capitalized road was not among those
meant by him. but he had referred TO
roads which could not earn much be-
cause Of their physical condition or sit
uation
Grand Chief Stone finished his case by
explaining TO the commission the arti-
Giles OF the demands which he had not
discussed the day before. After Mr..
Worthington's address the engineers
will call the witnesses in support of
their case
