Protecting Commuters Rights

1lHE assignment of Attorney General John
W. Wescott by Governor Fielder ofti-
cially to oppose the increase in suburban
passenger traffic rates in so far as they affect
New Jersey introduces a new element into
the fight which commuters are making
against the railroads
The South Jersey Commut ters' Association
already has pettioned the New Jersey state
Public Utilities Commission for suspension
OF the increased rates of fare, and the COM
mission has ordered such suspension for
three months pending inquiry As the State
Commissions authority extends only to
intrastate and not to interstate traffic. and
Rs most OF the Jersey commuters reside in
their home State and work in Philadelphia.
the solution Of the question is up" to the
Interstate Commerce Commission in Wash
ington
The point to he emphasized is that New
Jersey is aroused as state. Its officials are
taking active hand in the fight, and are lend
ing every aid in combating the railroads
program. Its citizens first called upon the
Mayors of their towns for aid; the Mayors
organized as an Executive Committee of the
Commuters Association the State Utilities
Commission has done all that lies within its
power and now, finally, the Governor and
Attorney General working conformity, make
pTepdrdNtonS TO present the people ClalElS
before the National Commission.
This is exactly as it should be. The franz
ers of the National Constitution provided for
States rights in forming the Union. New
Jersey, therefore is merely asserting it's pre-
rogatlve and privilege.
Today the Pennsylvania State Commission
hears counsel for the protesting commuters
resident in Pennsylvania. While it is unfor-
tunate that the Pennsylvania body has not
the same ate-suspending power as the New
Jersey Commission, nevertheless there Is no
reason why Governor Tener should not
assign Attorney General Bell to defend the
rights of the commuters of Pennsylvania in
fashion similar to that asserted by Governor
Fielder

What Is demanded is not less education,
but different kind. Nearly so per cent. of
the girls in the public schools take up a
wage-earning occupation, either from neces-
sity or choice. Public money cannot be
better spent than in fitting them TO support
themselves and those dependent upon them.

MO one knows at present the exact and
IN complete facts as to the measure of un-
employment in Philadelphia. We are suffer-
ing from an Industrial depression, but are
not in a panic 1t is difficult to arrive at the
number of unemployed because we do not
have a system of state labor exchanges,
which would keep card index OF wage-earn-
ers, skilled and unslilled and of the indus
tries and occupations for labor. In this re-
spect, England Germany, France and other
European countries are far ahead of Amer
lea. 1t is one of the most necessary things
to be accomplished by the State Department
of Industry and Labor and Commissioner
John Price Jackson should receive the loyal
support of the press, employers of labor,
labor unions, and the influential citizens in his
effort to establish in Pennsylvania prac-
tical system of state labor exchanges.
The present conditions Of unemployment
can best be determined by an examination
of the United States Census of 1910, at which
time the population of the city was zoos.
About one-thlrd of the total population, or
100000 to $4,000, belonged to the Industrial
class. This number would be increased by
the growth of population in four years, and
from the fact that great many people come
into Philadelphia from the suburbs to trans
act their business, practice their professions,
work at their trades, or perform day labor.
There is no true accounting of this number.
The industrial class cannot be definitely de-
termined, but certainly we do not have in
Philadelphia more than $4,000 producing
people
There were ss79 manufacturing enterprises
i'm Philadelphia in 1910. Employers and en-
ployes in these industries were 294 49s, of
which 272,446 we're wage-earners. The in
dustries in each of which more than 5000
men were employed were as folIows.
