Before PoIiticaI-Social Sci

NOTABLE COMPANY PRESENT
Nation will Change Places With
Her Competitors, Asserts
Cabinet Member.

PHILADELPHIA. April so.-That the
United States will change places with
her competitors in the worlds markets
after the war was predicted by Secre-
tarv of Commerce Redtield in speech
here today at the opening session of
the nineteenth annual meeting of the
Academy Of Political and Social Sci
ence
b. distinguished company of econo-
: mists bankers. statesmen, diplomats,
! and university professors was present.
''It Is substantially accurate to say
Secretary Redfield declared. that prior
to the outbreak of the European war
there were three great competitors for
the international trade of the world
whose position in that trade. measured
by the respective shares of business
done. were Great Britain Germany, and
the United States.
1T seems clear to me that If we do
our part we shall change our place
among the great competitors. No one
think, would be surprised to md tho
United States second in the world
competition. nor. If the war shall Ions
continue. be astonished to find her first

head. Mass, will be on the Hudson
river. ready for use, within the next ten
days. Mr. Astor has already taken
three trips in his unique craft and has
expressed himself as highly pleased
with his latest sporting venture.
His initiation into the flying game was
engineered by Clifford L. Webster. chief
pilot of the Burgess company. who TOOK
his wealthy pupil -aloft over the waters
of Marblehead Harbor to a height OF
between two and three thousand feet.
He returned to New York yesterday.
and the machine Is to be taken down
and shipped to the Astor estate at
Hhinebeck, N. Y. There 1t will be re-
assembled under the direction OF the
Burgess experts.
Webster will then go to Rhinebeck.
and the course of instruction will take
place on tho Hudson. opposite the
Astor home. 1t Is likely that ten or
twelve lessons will be sufficient. as the
Burgess machine is inherently stable
and easy to handle.
The flying boat, which is the first OF
its type to be built under the Dunno
patents, Is luxuriouslv appointed. and
has every known Improvement for the
convenience OF pilot and passengers.
1t has a capacity for three persons and
is elaborately upholstered. The cockpit
Is so arranged that the occupants can
step to the deck through ingeniously
contrived double doors.
With the aid of Howard Huntington.
secretary of the Aero Club of America.
Mr.. Astor worked out a set of plans
for the most pretentious hangar ever
built. 1t has been constructed at Mar
blehead, and will be shipped In sec
tions to Rhinebeck. Mr.. Huntington
first interested Mr.. Astor in aviation.
The hangar Is of the floating type
and can be moored at any point de-
sired. The interior has more the ap-
pearance of a clubhouse than of a mere
shelter for an aeroplane. There are
| the latest devices in the line Of cables
and buffers to prevent the machine
| from being damaged in rough weather.
The entrance of Mr.. Astor into avia-
ton caused more of a stir than has
occurred since Harold Field McCor-
! mick of Chicago. took up flying. sew
eral years ago. It Is believed that AT

COMPENSATION To
Be LITTLE CHANGED
Bills Expected to Go Before the
Legislature Within the Next
Week or So

Provisions eliminating the common
law defenses in the workmens COM
pensation cases incorporated in The
administration bill and which SEN
ator Crow requested Attorney General
Brown to change will stand as out
lined when the bill is introduced in the
State Senate next Monday night.
The refusal Of the administration to
free the employer from liability in
cases where the accident is caused by
the negligence of another employe or
when the employe enters the employ
of the plant knowing that the position
in which he serves is dangerous may
mark the first disagreement between
the Governor and some senators on
fundamental issues.
The common law defenses, as these
provisions now. effective are known,
would be eliminated by the Governors
bill. and whether the empoye or EN-
ployer agrees to abide by the pro-
visions of the bill which are only
elective the employer will be liable for
compensation for that kind of acci-
dent. In another provision the senator
requested that compensation for per-
manent injury be decreased from 500
to 400 weeks. The Governor will
likely make the maximum payment
from $40 to SS a week and from $1,000
to $4,000 maximum payment. 1t has
been found that out of 81, 900 cases in
one state only seven were total dis
ability.

TRESPASSERS' WAY
WAS HARD INDEED
Most of Killed on Railroads in, the
Last Half of 1914 Were on
Road Illegally

Figures compiled by the burear OF
accidents of the Public Service Com
mission show that of the 563 persons
killed on the steam railroads of the
State in the last six months of 1914,
344 were trespassers. The total num-
ber of fatalities was 45 larger than the
record in the same period of the pre-
Vious year.
In the same period 146 employees of
railroads were killed and 3,971 injur-
ed, "a being killed when struck by
trains and 23 when falling or jumping
from engines or cars. 4.
Only four passengers were killed
and 515 injured as compared with
eleven killed and 600 injured in the
same period of 1918.
Thirty-nine persons were killed ut
unprotected grade crossings and 81 in
jured, twenty of those killed being In
automobiles, wagons, sleighs or other
vehicles. Eighty-seven persons were
hurt. At protected crossings nineteen
persons were killed and GO hurt.
The casualties among the railroad
employees, as worked out by John =.
Dohoney, investigator of accidents for
the commission, show q decrease of 9 I
in the fatalities, but an increase of 450
in injured. Brakemen suffered the
most, there being 43 killed and 1,095
injured. Thirty-nine work trainmen

Largest Laymen's Meeting

great meetings of laymen. largely
through the agency of the Laymen's s
Missionary Movement, the Men and
Religion Movement and the Church
Brotherhoods. Entirely new meaning,
however, attaches to these meetings
of last month, because they repre-
sented the men of only one denomina-
tion, and that q small one. while vet
the combined convention was probably
the largest religious gathering of men
from a wide area that has ever met in
America. There are only a little more
than three hundred thousand mem
bers in the Southern Presbyterian
Church. The Northern PRESBYTERIAN
Church has over million more mem
bers than this, but it has no laymen's
gatherings of any religious sort with
Wnlcl the present ones can be COM
pared. Nor have the great Baptist,
Methodist or Lutheran bodies any as
sembly of men approaching this, al
though the Methodist men who met
last year in Indianapolis were a for
mldable and significant company.
1t was not until late in 1914 that
the leaders of the Southern Presby-
terian laymen decided to hold this
convention in spite of unfavorabIe con-
dltlons. Many cautious men were in
favor of postponinS it, because of the
economic stress and the disturbance
of mems minds and interests by the
present world problems. The most
sanguine of the leaders, whose vote
was for the holding of the convention,
said that even a few hundred dele
gates would justify the meeting. Be
cause OF the great distances involved
the convention was held In two sec
ttons; first at Charlotte, North Caro-
lima, and second on the week follow
ing at Dallas, Texas. The same pro

IN its size, and as a symptom, the
L double -barreled convention of
Southern Presbyterian Laymen,
held the latter part of last month in
Charlotte, North Carolina, and Dallas,
Texas, was the most extraordinary
development of the leadership of the
laity in church work that the country
has yet seen. Even the great Mis-
sionary Congress in Chicago and the
Men and Religion Congress in New
York could not compare in size or
significance with this massinS of men
of one of the smaller denominations.
More than four thousand men paid
their own way and provided their own
entertainment, in order to meet for
the consideration of the present world
crisis and Christianity. The conven-
tions were a parliament of Christian
'cosmopolites, dealing with interna-
tional issues of first magnitude. The
platform was not devoted to entertain
ment. n high seriousness dominated
all the sessions. The men were met
to face twentieth century fundamen-
tai issues, and they took their task
seriously.
Comment was caused by the obser-
walton of one of the speakers, that
this volunteer convention, larger and
more potent than any of the eccleSias-
tical assemblies of the Southern Pres
byterian denomination, or of any other
denomination, was n demonstration of
the increasing power of democracy in
religion as opposed to ecclesiasticism
Coming together without any desig-
mated authority, these laymen more
potently affect their church's life than
the stated sessions of the General As
sembly itself. While not intended as
a revolt against ecclesiasticism, the
facts were eloquent to the discerning.
