SULZER SIGNED
FULL CREW BILL
New York Governor Says Railroads
Objections to the Bill Are not
Legitimate Ones.

ALBANY, April I. - The new "fnll
crew law requiring. railroad companies
to employ three instead of two brake
men on freight trains Of more than
- cars on a railroad more than -
miles IN length, and providing that
passenger trains shall carry a baggage
man, in addition to the regular crew, was
signed by Gov. Sulzcr yesterday alter
noon.
The presidents of all the big rail
road companies in the state appeared
before the governor Saturday and urged
him to veto the measure.
The only objection to the measure
on the part of the railroad" Gov
emor Sulzer said yesterday, appears to
be that it will increase to some extent the
cost of operation, by reason Of the fact
that a few more men viii have TO he en-
poyed on some of the trains The same
objection could be urged with equal force
to any Improvement in the method Of rail-
road operation,
My Judgment Is that the -conserya
tion Of human life and limb is as i'm
portant to the people as little addition
/ al expense in the operation OF these com
mon carriers. The state for its own wei
fare has Il right TO demand the employ
mcnt upon the railroads. Of every safety
appliance, whether mechanical or human

the meat supply will be reasonably
good, otherwise the situation will be
quite the contrary. One meatman said
this morning: IF we don Z get any
more meat this week we win be down
and out. -
