Ridgewood Man TO Test Erie
Conductors Judgment on
Immediate Family" Ticket

WASHINGTON, June Ito test
what the words immediate family
mean Wellesley w. Gage, an attof-
ney, of 149 Broadway, New York,
who has a home in Ridgewood, \. j.,
has brought a complaint to the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
In his complaint Mr., Gage says
that he bought a fifty trip family
ticket between New York and Ridge
wood and he presented it with a
member of his immediate family then
residing with him. The conductor
refused to accept it for the member
of the family and elected the mem
Der.
Mr. Gage says that the terms
printed on the ticket are meaningless
and should not be left to the con-
struction of the conductors. The
particular clause which Mr.. Gage
objects to is follows:
THE expression immediate family
applies to those not only living with,
but entirely dependent upon the per-
son whose name appears on the face
of the ticket"
The complaint was brought against
the Erie road, which has thirty days
TO answer.
Tt is believed that the decision of
the commission in this case will out
line definite rules as to the use of So
called family tickets.

SEC. WILSON SEES
"MENLESS JOBS"
Sizing Up Outlook, Labor Dept
Head Predicts Revival
Throughout Country.
Ispeeial TO the Evening start

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Menless
Jobs instead of jobless men in the
very immediate future throughout the
United States were predicted by Sec
retarv of Labor Wilson in sizing up
the general labor outlook today for
the United Press. The bumper wheat
crop. the revival iron trade with the
subsequent stimulation of mining and
other associated industries and con-
tinued activity in the textile bust
ness are given by Wilson as his reas-
ons for prophecy in prosperity with
lots of work" Specific requests with
more than $4,000 men TO help harvest
bumper wheat crops have already
reached the Department of Labor
Missouri alone has asked for $4,000
men. How to get them west Is the
problem. As a solution Secretary VII
son is planning to negotiate with the
railroads to arrange special eNcuf-
sons to the wheat belt from eastern
cities where the labor might be OBJ
tanned.
"sueh a plan would give thousands
of men in the east a chance for
rural vacation and make money while
taking it" said Secretary Wilson.
Western farmers are offering from
81 to $3.50 a day and board for har-
vest helpers.
Whatever there is Of non-employ-
ment today is caused chiefly by the
depression of the iron and steel IN
dustrv resulting from failure of the
railroads which use more than IS per
cent of the product to place orders
Wilson believes Up to two months
ago mining was in fiourishing con-
ditien and it is bound to improve
when the big mills resume in full,
according to Wilson.
with this outlook in sight I feel
safe in predicting that within a
month it will no longer be question
of jobs. but a question OF how to get
enough men to fill them, said VII

Penn. Road to Install
Heavier Rail on Main Lines

PHILADELPHIA, June 11-As a
further step toward increasing safety
o travel by rail under modern con-
ditions of heavy trains and high
speed. the Pennsylvania railroad is
expected to adopt q steel rail weigh
ing 120 pounds to the yard as the
standard for its main line trains and
for other divisions on which heavy
passenger trains run at high speed.
The heaviest rail now in use by the
Penns. wanna weighs 100 pounds to
the yard.
Tests of the 120-pound rail have
been completed by officials of the
Pennsylvania at the plant of the
MARI land Steel Company. 1t is IN
derstood that the use Of the heavier
rail has been strongly indorsed by
the railroad officials. The added cost
of the heavier rails is the chief OBJ
staele in the way of their use, es-
pecially in view of the program of
economy under which most Of the
railroads are now working.

TO THE WAR THEATER
The Mysterious Shipment Of Cannon
Goes to Europe

When the Russian steamer Nov
gorod sailed from Victoria, British
Columbia, last week, bound for Val
divostok, Siberia, she had on board
thirty-two car loads of cannon, siege
guns and other war equipment that
was manufactured and sold by the
Bethlehem Steel works and other
plants of the United States Steel
corporation.
The giant guns were shipped from
this country to Canada, ostensibl
for the purpose of Strengthening the
dOminion's coast defenses. However,
that this was merely a pretense is
shown by the fact that they were
re-consigned over the Canadian Pa
cific railway to Victoria. They are
now somewhere in the Pacific and
in due time will reach the war zone
of Europe, via the trans-Siberian
railroad
And in the above, in all probability,
lies the explanation of the shipment
of cannon that passed through this
city over the 500 Line a number of
weeks ago. 1t required thirty-five
flat cars to transport the guns and
equipment, the destination of which
was given as Vancouver A short
time later two war aeroplanes passed
through the city over the 500 and on
Friday of last week another thirty
five car shipment of cannon and
mountings was handled That these
more than just guess.-Steyens
Point Journal.
