DIX SIGNS SUBWAY BILL
Governor Speedily Approves Plan
for Transit Extension.
by Telegraph TO The Tribune.

Albany, April e-Goyernor Dix signed
the Wagner subway bill this afternoon.
few hours after he received 1t from Mayor
Gavnor. No requests had been made OF
the Governor for a hearing. In any event
II is improbable that he would have granted
a hearing, as he had announced at the con-
clus,on OF the session Of the Legislature
that nc would give hearings only on the
New York transfer and Bronx County bills.
The Wagner bill enables the carrying out
Of the plan for subway extension in New
York which has been agreed upon between
the Board Of Estimate and Apportionmen
and the lst District Public Service Com
mission. or the one hand and the Inter
borough Railway and Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit companies on the other Now the only
thing that can prevent the Immediate Work
ing out Of the arrangement is an action
peDdins before Justice Blackmar, brought
at the instigation Of William Randolph
Hearst
This suit originally attacked the legality
and consHtutlonanty Of tho preferential
payment feature Of the plan. The enact
mont Of the Wagner bill removes the ques-
ton Of legality. Justice Backmar, who has
all the papers in the case. is now only re-
ouired to decide the constitutional dues-
ton involved He will probably give his
decision shortly, as II Is believed that no
was reserving judgment until the Governor
had disposed Of tie bill.
The plan provides that the nterborough
company shall take from the gross receipts
eacn year SO per cent OF It's investment
after all expenses are paid and that the
civ is then to take it's share. The OPP
ronents NJ the proposition declare that this
feature is unconstitutional. IN that II is
equivalent to permitting the use OF puohc
nancy by private companies.

GARMENT STRIKE VERDICT
Board of Affiliations Report
Favorable to Employers.

The board of arbitration appointed sew
eral months ago as a result Of general
strike OF the garment workers in this city
gave its decision yesterday on the points at
issue between the employers and the work
ers. The board, which consisted Of Louis
ID. Brandeis. of Boston; Hamilton Holt and
Morris Hillquit was appointed under the
provisions of the so-called treaty OF
peace which was drawn UP last September
between the Merchants Society Of Ladies'
Tailors and Dressmakers and the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers Union.
The employees had raised the question OF
discharge, claiming that worker could be
discharged for incompetency only, while
the employers maintained their power TO
discharge for particular unfitness. such as
inability to handle velvet instead Of silk. as
dstinct from the question Of general in
competence. The employers were sustained
by the board.
In regard TO overtime the board decided
that the employers might put men on over
time schedules when they wished. The
contention Of the union men had been that
If one man were kept working after hours
the employer was obliged to keep the whole
shop overtime
The employers also won on the question
Of time and quality records. which they
thought should be kept by the workers
The union men refused on the score OF
uniform wage and the principle that no
man should be distinguished above another.
The employers wanted 20 find out who was
doing the best work and TO create an In
centive 10 do better work by giving more
pay. They claimed that 1t interfered In no
way with the minimum wage system now
in force
For disputes too small 10 be considered
by the board OF arbitration another board
Of grievances, made UP Of representatives
from both sides, IS 20 be appointed, as the
old one has proved incompetent. The aroi-
tration board condemned the little shop
strikes which have been so great a source
Of trouble in the past. Anything not big
enough to come up before the board OF
grievances is not big enough TO cause a
strike
The employers said that as members or
the merchants society they were being dis
eliminated against by the union men. but
the board Of arbitration said there ap-
peared to be no ground for this charge.
The board advised both sides 10 display
greater courtesy and respect for each other
and to cooperate more.
The board Of arbitration is intended 70 be
a permanent committee to handle all such
matters Of dispute as cannot be settled by
the board OF grievances. The members or
the board say that they will resign II their
decisions are not faithfully observed by
both employers and employees

MANY DROWN IN THE NILE
Levantines Perish When Steamer
Capsizes After Collision.

Cairo. Egypt. April "a large number Of
passengers were drowned last evening by
the sinking Of Nile excursion steamer az
ter collision with another steamer In the
vicinity of the Great Dam on the river
about fifteen miles to the northwest of
Cairo and few miles from Kalyub.
The steamer had 300 passengers on board,
who had taken advantage OF the Easter
holiday to make trip from Cairo to the
river dam. on the return journey up
stream and not far from the dam the ex-
cursion boat came into collision with an
other steamer and sank almost instantly.
The bodies of seventeen victims OF the
collision had been recovered up to an early
hour this morning and many more are sui
believed to be in the water. II cannot be
computed yet how many lives have been
lost.
The government authorities have organ
lied a systematic dragging Of the river bed.
London. April o. - The steamer which
foundered on the Nile as the result Of
collision with another vessel yesterday was
a local excursion boat which. according 10
reports received here. was conveying SOo
persons. all OF whom are believed TO have
been Levantines. 1t is considered improo-
able that any American tourists were on
board
dispatch from Cairo TO THE Daily
News" says that directly the collision oc-
Cured the excursion steamer headed for
the bank. Ropes were thrown out ana
she was hauled close enough TO allow
planks to be placed in the form OF i'm
provised gangways. by which the panic
stricken passengers we're enabled to escape
to the high, steep bank. Some OF the
women and children slipped back into the
water Most of these. however. were res
cued. Fifteen excursionists were drowned.
A majority Of these were Europeans
A dispatch TO The Daily Mail from
Cairo gives the same estimate OF the
drowned and confirms the report that most
of the passengers were saved. The opinion
is expressed. however. that no English
tourists were among those who lost their
lives.
