SAFETY AT SEA SUSTAINED

San rancisco.-Practically every hu-
man act is grst to the trade unionists'
mill in pleading the workers cause.
This is illustrated by Editor Schar-
renberg of the Coast Sedmen'S Journal,
who uses decision of Secretary OF
State Lansing to support the seamen's
law.
The Federal premier, in his effort to
times, has declared that the placing of
high seas is not regarded as according
meaning of the term as used in inter
national law.
The alert sailor man, who edits the
Scamen's Journal, makes this strong
point to justify the seamen's law:
IF an open boat does not constitute
a place of safety, what shall we say of
a nation which permits its ships to go
to sea on the longest possible voyages
with only sufficient lifeboats to take rs
per cent of those on board? And what
shall we say when ships are permitted to
90 to sea in the Coastwise trade and for
traffic on the great lakes with so few
lifeboats and RATS that from 80 to so
per cent of those on board will be with
out either i'll case of accident?
After all, it does not matter what we
might say about such policy. The fact
remains that the unreasonable safety
requirements in the La Toilette seamen's
act only call for lifeboats to accommo-
date IS per cent of those abroad vessel
in the offshorc trade and the same
pernicious law requires lifeboat accom-
mediation for much smaller number
Gin some instances as low as 20 per
cent? if the vessel is engaged in the
coastwise trade or in navigation on the
great lakes.
Secretary Lansing's definition of a
place of safety ought to be helpful in
strengthening the safety features in the
seamens law. If seat in lifeboat is
not a place of safety, it is surely I'M
measurably safer than standing room on
raft.
boats for all is still an eminently
proper and reasonable demand

ANTI I-ALIEN LABOR LAW
HELD CONSTITUTIONAL

Washington.-The United States ST.
preme Court has held that State has
the right to pass law prohibiting the
employment of aliens on public works.
The decision was made in the case of
the New York Anti-Alien Labor Law,
under which it was made compulsory
to employ only citizens in the construc-
ton of public works.
The case was appealed by New York
Subway contractor who was found
guilty in the New York State Courts of
violating this law In upholding the
act, the New York State Court of Ap-
peals said:
"The moneys Of the State belong to
the peoples of the State. They do not
belong to aliens. The State, through its
legislators, has given notice to its agents
in building public works it wishes its
own money to be paid to its own citi-
zcns, and, if not to them, at least to
citizens OF the United States. Those
who are not citizens are not members
of the State. The power of State to
discriminate between citizens and aliens
in the distribution of its resources is
sanctioned alike by decisions of the
aliens nor the citizens of other States
are invested by the Constitution with
any interest in the common property of
the people of this State. The common
property Of the State belongs to the
people OF the State, and in the distribu-
tlon OF that property the people may be
preferred. TO better the condition of
its own citizens, and it may be to pre-
vent pauperization among them, the Leg
islature Of the State has decided that
the money of the State shall go to the
people of the State. Equal protection
does not mean that those who have no
interest in the common property of the
State must share in that property on
the same terms as those who have an
interest
This common sense declaration was
appealed by the contractors to the
United States Supreme Court which
now supports the New York judiciary,
and declares that the State, as guard
ian and trustee OF the peoples money,
has the right to prescribe conditions
under which this money shall be eX
pended. In answer to the claim that
the law violates treaty rights between
the United States and Italy, the court
said
"The equality Of rights that the treaty
secures is equality only in respect of pro-
lection and security for persons and
property
Albany, n. Y.-The Anti-Alien Labor
Law, which has been held constitutional
by the United States Supreme Court, is
not i'll effect in this State today. After
the State Court OF Appeals upheld the
law, last February, the Legislature
amended the law, which now permits
aliens to be employed on public works
when citizens are not available. Sub
way contractors in New York City de-
clarcd they could not iinsh this work if
the amendment was not passed.
The effect Of this cheap labor is shown
in the subway cave-in, last September,
when seven persons were killed and over
one hundred Injured

PROPORTIONS

New York, April 15.-New York's lat
est murder mystery assumed new pro-
portions today after the police had estab-
lished to their apparent satisfaction the
identity of the victim as Miss Claudia
Hansbury of Lansingburg, N. Y, arrested
Raefaele Viullo, well-to-do contractor.
and charged him with homicide. The new
element was the declaration Of the per-
sons in Troy, N. Y, that they had found
Miss Hansbury living there and had
talked with her today.
The spot where the slain girls body
was found in a vacant lot of the Aston
estate in Bronx was her trysting place,
according to John McKenna, Waterman
on the estate. Mckenna told detectives
that he had seen a girl and man near
the spot on several occasions. The girl
he identified as the one whose body lies
in the morgue; the man as Viullo.
Viullo, whose fountain pen, the police
assert, was found near the body, stoutly
and Indignantly refuted, after many
hours of cross-examination, that he had
caused the girls death. She looked like
a girl whom he knew not long ago as

PER-
MANENT EXPENSE
CAUSED BY WAR

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Amsterdam. March 20.-The Social
list newspaper Norwaerts calls atten-
ton to the enormous increase not
only in temporary, but also in perma-
nent expenditure which is involved by
the eXigencies of war; Discussing the
new Budget. the newspaper calculates
that interests on war loans, deficit for
war years, and the making good after
the war OF military and naval eXpen-
diture will mean at the very least the
doubling of all existing taxation. The
annual increase of expenditure is fig
ured at. $685. 600 900 to $3.50, O0O, 900.
Regarding suggestions of huge in
demnity, the Eorwaerts says: THE
Secretary of State remarked that he
by no means renounces the idea Of
obtaining a war indemnity. 1t is new
ertheless better for the present to
leave such a solution out of account.
If one does that it is urgently neces-
sary to deal in all seriousness with
the problem Of shaping our future
| financial system. Unfortunately the
Secretary abstained from indicating
what new sources of revenue he in
tends to open up"
The Boersen Halle, official paper of
the German Stock Exchange, touch
ing on the same subject, says:
The expenditure to cover the war
loans, the maintenance of the invalids
and the survivors of the killed, at the
very least will require two milliard
marks $500 900. 000) yearly. The dam

the German workman who joined the
colors in August with enthusiasm will
not look on the situation created dur
