Justice in Repeal
When all sides shall have been heard,
it is not too hazardous to predict that the
Legislatures of both States will recog-
nize the justice of the appeal and re-
trace step which was taken improvi-
IDENTIFY and without full knowledge of the
facts.-PHblic Ledger Philadelphia.
Evidence to Public
The public is ready to hear the evil
dence and it is UP to the parties con-
cerned, the railroads and the trainnen,
to submit their briefs. This the rail
roads are doing and to their credit, be
it said, in an open and above-board man
ner.-Daily Republican, MdlUHIe, N. J.
Confidence in People
We have full confidence that the peo-
pie will see the point and have their rep
resentatives in the two legislatures re-
peal the Full Crew Laws.-EVering
Star, Philadelphia.
Law wakes DTOncs
A Full Crew Law is a law to mulct
railroads and make them throw away
money to maintain drones.-The SnH,
Ne7U York.
Justice Demands Repeal
The law was simply a sop TO the
labor vote Common justice demands
the repeal of the "Full Crew" Law of
New JeTsey.-GdSetfe, Spring Lake,
N. J.
Right Attitude Taken
The proposition of the railroads of
Pennsylvania to submit the question of
the repeal of the Full Crew Laws to the
public, because the latter is yitally inter
ested in this problem, is only another in
stance of the change which has taken
place i'll the attitude of many of the
great business corporations of the coun-
try which are semi-public in their char
acter.-IimeS, MOnoHgdhela, Pa.
Most Impressive
AS for the appeal of the railroads
against the extra or Full Crew Law, ii
must be said that it is presented with a
force of facts and figures and direct
ness of reasoning that is most impress
sive.-Intelligencer, Lancaster, Pa.
Common Sense Action
Repeal the Full Crew Law in the name
of common sense.-PIaiH Dealer, PjiIa-
dclbhid.
Turn On the Light
The fact that the opponents of the re-
peal of the Full Crew Laws object to the
light, that they do not want popular dis
cussion, is very strong evidence in itself
that they have a case that will not stand
the light-Momitg Sm, Baltimore.
Objectionable Legislation
1t follows that the Full Crew Laws are
class legislation of particularly objec-
tionable kind.-PhiIddeIPhiG Inquirer.
Rectify Grave Error
Pressure is being brought upon our
Legislature to repeal the Full Crew Law
1t is to be hoped that grave error will
be rectihed. The law has promoted
neither safety nor efficiency. Loss of
life has actually increased.-To oacw and
County, PennSbMg, Pa.
Get Laws Repealed
There should be comparatively little
difficulty in getting the Full Grew Laws
of this and neighboring States repealed
by an appeal to public opinion.-Record
Philadelphia.
there is no purpose to lay off men
lately man trains. Let that be under
ate men for whom there is no real work
of law.
,opIe will join in this fight for repeal
lens upon the public. They ask all
n person, by letter or otherwise with
rrisburg and Trenton. This should
