 British India, one of the great wDeat-growing and wheat-exporting countries of the world, shows more definite results because the season is much farther advanced. The harvest is going on and the wheat crop is being secured under condt- tiors so favorable that recent estimates of the yield are believed to be far too small The latest figures are about 3S5,00O,000 bushels against 3,OOO,OOO bushels last year. It is believed that 75,- OOO,O0O bushels can be exported.
 But nothing that nature can do will offset the cutting down of the area sown to grain in some coun- tries of Europe, The weather can not heal or cover the wounds of war so rapidly that Europe can possibly produce the usual quantity of breadstuffs, All of the wheat and other grain that the United States may have to sell in the next crop year will be urgently needed.

NEW BRIDGE OPENED
CONNECTING CAMDEN
WITH SOUTH JERSEY
Huge Steel Span Costs $780,
600, Double Contemplated
Price, Because of United
States Government Re-
uuirements.

Camdcn's new 100000 steel bascule bridge
across the Newton Creek at Broadway
was opened for traffic today. The bridge
connects Gloucester and intermediate
points with Camden No formal dedica-
tory exercises marked the opening. The
bridge will be officially turned over TO the
county authorities at the next meeting of
the Board of Freeholders.
The price. 100000, is just twice what the
Camden County authorities originally
planned to expeud on the structure, the
difference from the original cost being the
amount necessary to make the bridge OF
the basculc or, : it is more commonly
known, the lift type. This was made
necessary by the demand of the United
states War Department, which insisted
that In the liPht of the possible future
deepening OF Newton Creek along the line
OF general inland waterways development,
the bridge must he so built as to permit
water traffic to points beyond

Railroad replaces the wooden trestc over
which its electric trains to Atlantic city
now pass with lift or drawbridge. 1t
is rumored that this Ia already con-
templntcd by the railroad and that the
work will he started in n short time.
The action Of the War Department in
demanding that lift bridge be built
across Newtown Creek was contrary to
the general desire of the community The
New York Shipbuilding Company, which
is hut few hundred feet away and
which was most interested in the develop
mcnt Of N"w,own Creek for water traffic
rad waived all such claims.
The broadway bridge is perhaps tho
most important one in the county as it Is
Jersey. II is used daily by steady
stream OF carriage and wagon traffic and
two lines of trollcys running to Glou-
ccster City. Woodbury.. Mantua and other
southern towns. Until today this traffic
was all by way Of n temporary structure

The placing of the contracts with the

closely. The company is closely allied
with New York Central and Morgan in

of the steel markets up to a month or so
ago particularly in the territory i'm which
IL has done much of its business, its order
hooks were in n bare condition when the

CHILD LABOR HEARING
Senate Committee Asked to Report
Bill Without Changes.
Iron 4 STAFF coHHEsroNnENT,.

HARRISBURG April 20. 49, The Senate
Judiciary Special Committee, at a public
hearing today, was asked to report out
the Cox child labor bill in the form in
which it passed the House. Advocates of
the measure, as it was finally drafted by
Governor Brumbaugh, appeared at the
hearing.
An effort will be made in committee, it
was said today, to amend the measure so
as to lengthen the working week for chill
dren from 5l hours, as now provided, to
81 hours. This is the principal amend
ment that the manufacturers of the state
have been fighting for since the bill was
first introduced.
Republican OrGani2ation leaders have
declared they will stand by the Governor
in his fight for the passage of his child
labor bill, and there is little likelihood
of the Cox bill being amended
