Five complaints are listed, covering
various phases of the full crew law,
and some of them referring to matters
which will be threshed out at the
hearing. The railroads mentioned are
the Pennsylvania, Cumberland Valley.
Central of New Jersey and Pittsburgh
and Lake Erie.
H. NJ. Fritz, legislative representa-
tive of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, of Waynesboro, complained
that the Cumberland Valley Railroad
Company was operating trains be-
tween Waynesboro and Chambersburg
with a less number of men than re-
quired by the full crew law.
In the case against the Central
Railroad Company of New Jersey, the
allegation was made that train No "a,
between Scranton and Bethlehem
Junction, was operated with a short
crew.
The president of the brotherhood
charged that the New York, Chicago
& st. Louis Railroad Company was
operating one train each way between

TO COMPETE WITH
FEDERAL YARDS



said the Secretary, land unless this
investment is utilized for new con-
struction much of it is wasted. If the
government is prepared to construct
naval craft, private shipbuilding COM
panies desiring contracts must COM
pete with government yards. This
tends to secure competitive prices and
prevent combinations between private
corporations to charge higher prices
than conditions justify.
Not only must the yards be able
to build ships but. naval establish
ments should be equipped to manufac-
ture a portion of all munitions of
war"
Big Saving Noted
In this connection, Mr.. Daniels
pointed out that the government paid
so cents a pound to a private manu-
facturer a few years ago for making
powder, but the navy now was max
ing it at a cost of about % cents a
pound. Torpedoes and mines, he said,
lalso were being manufactured by the

THE ESCAPE
EXPECTED To
BE BIG HIT

Ranging from microscopic show
ing OF the first ife-cells carrying out
their selective processes, through the
sordid beginning OF humanity in its
more unfortunate forms, through the
struggle that always closes in on it's
victims, with q logical announcement,
The Escape" in seven thrilling reels,
will be seen at Ye Liberty for one
week commencing next Monday.
Whether it Is eugeniCS or not, il is
life, and on its recent presentations
has been accorded study and an
appreciation that has hitherto been
denied the phOtO-drama. Ii is the
masterpiece among the many notable
productions of the celebrated direct
or, D. w. Griffith. Neither expense
nor time was consideration.
Five months were consumed in max
ing the production. at a cost Of some
thing over 800 900, and the result has
been more than gratifying, These
wonderful films have utilized for
props" the streets and the teeming
crowds of the slums themselves; the
wardrobe is the old clothes that these
deniZens of the underworld have been
wearing; and the actors went down
into the tenements and lived the slum
life for character study.
The struggles of May Joyce, the
heroine, is not acting, it is being truly
lived, and this is the high mark OF
criticism for it was the one thing
found wanting in the film drama, not
merely action, bnt heart interest, that
brings vividly the heart aches, the suf-
fering and the troubles of life itself be-
fore the. people vitality. With this
great feature there will also be the
sixth episode of The. Million Dollar
Mystery" and a new Mary Pickford
film. ~ =

The house Of representatives receiv-

letter written by Mayor Lane was re-
ceived., The mayor. in his message.
urged that the bill introduced by E. J.
Crawford to raise salaries Of county
officials be amended so that the may
or's salary will remain as at present.
The mayor says nothing about the
proposed increases for other salary re-
ceivers but declares that if the bill
includes a raise for him he will ask
for its defeat.
The communication was referred to
the county committee. The mayor
letter is as follows:
Honorable Eli J. Crawford, Honolulu,
Hawaii
Ny dear Mr.. Crawford: have
learned that you have introduced in
the legislature a bill by the terms of

es the salary of other officials of the
City and County of Honolulu. AS to
increases other than that relative to
the mayor have nothing whatever to
say.

made by me render it imperative that
should oppose, in so far as am per-
scnally concerned, any legislative mea-
sure which would permit Sncrease,
